About Kosta's Takeaway Rockdale

Tucked beside an industrial smash repairer in Rockdale, Kosta’s Takeaway builds serious, hot-to-order sandwiches with zero pretense. Orders fly out fast over hip-hop beats—crispy chicken schnitzels that spill past soft rolls, battered fish fillets stacked tall, and herb-bright tuna melts layered with dill and melted cheese. House VIP sauce and fermented chili are ready on the counter, best paired with an espresso pulled from the La Marzocco.

  • Hot-to-order sandwiches: Generously portioned chicken schnitzels and light-battered fish fillets served hot on soft rolls with house fermented chili.
  • Industrial counter vibe: Espresso pulled swiftly from a La Marzocco alongside hip-hop tracks and banter right next to a workshop.

Why Choose Kosta’s Takeaway Rockdale

Why sandwich lovers make the trip to this Rockdale industrial takeaway spot.

  • Generous, Made-to-Order Hot Sandwiches

    Kitchen teams build hefty hot sandwiches to order, packing oversized fried proteins like juicy schnitzels and golden battered fish fillets into soft buns.

    Both sandwiches while on the pricier side are made to order, well seasoned and generously portioned. The proteins contained inside their light batter was loose, juicy and tender.

  • Custom House Sauces on an All-Day Menu

    Sandwiches and burgers are dressed with distinct house condiments like fermented chili and proprietary tangy VIP sauce, available across the full all-day menu.

    Pretty much the full menu available for all day, so recommend a breakfast fish burger rather than lunch! Don't forget the additional sauces, fermented chili is highly recommended.

  • Satisfying Portions Without the Post-Meal Slump

    Despite generous sizing and indulgent fillings, dishes leave diners feeling clean and energized without an uncomfortable food coma.

    To put simply, Kosta's sandwiches really hit the spot and you aren't left feeling guilty for treating yourself rather satisfied and anticipating your next visit.

Hearty chef-crafted hot sandwiches and burgers served fresh from the counter

  • Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich

    The schnitzel was huge and the composition of the burger was solid. What you would expect from a schnitty burger, and it did not miss. Bread was soft, sauce was flavourful and chicken serving size generous.

  • Fish Burger

    Hands down best fish burger i’ve had. The fish burger is definitely their highlight. It comes with a massive fish fillet with very light batter.

  • Tuna Melt

    the tuna mix had a really nice brightness from the herbs and lemon. Portions are generous without being over the top, and everything tasted fresh and made with care.

  • Beef & Pickles

    We tried the Beef & Pickles (pastrami, pickles, cheese, mustard, VIP sauce) and the Tuna Melt (tuna, parsley, dill, onion, lemon, cheese, VIP sauce), and both were outstanding.

Beyond the menu

Memorable hospitality and menu touches that elevate this industrial counter stop

  • Coin-Toss Menu Decision

    When a customer is stuck deciding between menu favorites, counter staff offer playful problem-solving like flipping a coin to break the tie.

  • Direct Chef Table Apology & Scallops

    When a meal did not hit the mark, the chef came out from the kitchen to apologize in person, offer a fresh remake, and provide extra potato scallops.

  • La Marzocco Specialty Espresso

    The takeaway counter is dialed in with high-end espresso setups, pulling specialty roaster beans on a dedicated La Marzocco Linea PB.

  • All-Day Breakfast Fish Burgers

    Full-flavored specialty fish burgers and the entire sandwich lineup are made available all day, including at morning breakfast hours.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on timing, item availability, and seating before you visit.

  • Arrive early for seats

    Seating is minimal out front and tends to get crowded by 11 AM; arrive closer to 10 AM or plan to take your order to go.

  • Order popular items early

    Popular hot items like the battered fish burger sell out during peak lunchtime, but the full menu is available all day if you want an early order.

  • Plan around tight parking

    Street parking directly outside is very tight in the industrial strip; look for spots in the surrounding streets or across the road.
