Al's Deli - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

Located in the Upper Queen St of Auckland’s CBD is this Canadian themed restaurant serving amazing donuts, poutine and Canadian beers! When you first step in this place you will notice the fresh bagels and most importantly the donuts displayed beside the cashier. Flavours vary from this Smores and raspberry white chocolates

We got totally fried at Al’s Deli.<br/ <br/ We nabbed the only balcony seat in the house good start and spent the next three minutes debating whether it was Al Brown’s deli. Turns out it isn’t.<br/ <br/ We’ve come to sample arguably the best Tuesday special in Auckland on paper to see if it is as good as it reads. It’s called the ‘Duo Down’ and it’s a less offensive KFC Double Down comprised of two deep fried (to perfection might we add) chicken thighs with bacon, cheese and a sort of bechamel sauce. This thing is nectareous! It’s a word, look it up.<br/ <br/ The “sandwich” on Tuesdays is a mere $15 and comes with a side of hand cut fries just incase summer means bulking for you. The whole plate can’t really be faulted; the chicken is exactly how we like it with crunch and flavour and bacon is always welcome, at all times, every meal. The bechamel does thicken when cold but that’s just an incentive to dive in rather than waste time taking photos like we do.<br/ <br/ The wings were as good as buffalo wings are expected to be but we’ve had better. Just go hard on that blue cheese sauce. It’s a good thing they don’t charge per napkin too cos we use about 19 each.<br/ <br/ The balcony seat backfired when we got a face full of smoke at one point from a vent overhead. Maybe just sit inside. <br/ <br/ Overall: 4/5<br/ <br/ What we had:<br/ Duo Down Tuesday Special <br/ Buffalo Wings Side With Blue Cheese Sauce<br/ $28

Al’s Deli donuts taste just as good as they look, super fresh and delivered by Ubereats!<br/ <br/ They are also really massive and can be easily shared among the office, these were definitely a hit!

Me and my partner came here for our anniversary and were treated with outstanding service from very friendly staff along with banter, smiles, jokes, good music and great food and drinks. Love the beer and the chicken with hot sauce. We were given a surprise anniversary donut which was really sweet of them to do and delicious! Would gladly come back for special occasions and casual dining alike. Thank you Al's Deli!

They probably have the best fried chicken in all of Auckland! The location is quite hard to find and very far from work. I would’ve gone very frequently if it was closer.
