About Kosta's Takeaway Circular Quay

Kosta’s Takeaway builds colossal sandwiches designed to shatter any midday CBD slump. The midday crowd spills onto Pitt Street for the schnitty bun—a slab of panko-crusted chicken spreading well past the edges of a soft roll with house sauce. For seafood regulars, the draw is a thick fish fillet encased in light, crisp batter and finished with a swipe of fermented chilli. Beef and pickles hit the griddle on crusty sourdough, packed with pastrami and sharp melted cheese. Listen out for your name above the lunchtime rush, grab your cardboard box, and head down to the quay with lunch in hand.

  • Oversized Schnitty Buns: Panko-crumbed chicken fried to order, stretching noticeably wider than the soft bun it rests on.
  • Crispy Battered Fish Burger: Thick, tender fish fillets fried in a light, crisp batter and paired with house fermented chilli sauce.
  • Beef and Pickles on Sourdough: Pastrami, tangy pickles, and melted cheese toasted between slices of hearty sourdough.

Why Choose Kosta's Takeaway

Why Circular Quay workers and visitors choose Kosta's Takeaway for serious midday sandwiches.

  • Giant Golden Schnitzels Built for Big Appetites

    Large panko-crumbed schnitzels cooked crispy and juicy easily spill past the bun, making for an exceptionally filling CBD lunch.

    The schnitzel is twice the size of the bun, crunchy & tender.

  • Crispy Light-Battered Fresh Fish Burgers

    Fresh fish fillets are fried in a delicate, crispy batter on soft buns, delivering premium seafood quality in casual takeaway form.

    The fish burger was definitely my favourite, with its light crispy batter and tender fish fillet.

    The combination of massive portions and bold gourmet sauces delivers deeply satisfying validation for mid-city sandwich seekers.

    We both didn’t come up for air, from first bite to the last it was heavenly!

    Deli pastrami, toasted sourdough, and variety packs travel intact and delight colleagues looking for a premium office lunch.

  • Crispy Fresh Focaccia Built to Travel

    A varied selection on crusty, fluffy focaccia and buns maintains texture and taste even when delivered directly to workplace crews.

    The focaccia was crispy and soft and fluffy, the fillings tasty.

Before you head over

Practical advice for navigating lunch rush, ordering, and seating at Circular Quay

  • Beat the Peak Midday Rush

    Lunch hour brings substantial crowds and wait times from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM; arriving right around midday or using mobile ordering via apps like Hey You can help skip the queue.

  • Listen Closely for Order Callouts

    Sandwiches are made fresh to order and the collection area gets noisy; listen carefully for your name when orders are called out at the counter.

  • Locate Seating Nearby

    Seating directly outside the counter can be limited and bustling; take your order over to Sydney Place seating or stroll down toward Circular Quay to dine comfortably.
