Book NowAbout 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.

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.
