About Malibu Sydney

This tiny Surry Hills alleyway counter dishes out colossal, cut-to-order sandwiches that easily cover lunch and dinner. Regulars know the drill: pocket the smartphone, keep modifications to yourself, and state your order briskly. The Swiss owner operates as a solo operation, slicing fresh fillings and layering them onto fluffy Vienna bread with homemade herb mayo. The classic chicken schnitzel and the stacked Malibu Club anchor the menu. Foil-wrapped parcels hand over with serious heft, packed tight with roasted tomatoes, crisp salads, and thick cuts.

  • Massive Portions: Sandwiches are structured with immense heft, routinely yielding enough food for two separate meals.
  • No-Nonsense Laneway Setup: A single operator runs the counter with rapid, direct service, keeping lines moving with strict ordering etiquette.
  • Homemade Herb Mayo: Cuts are prepared fresh on the spot and finished with a signature house-made dressing.
  • The Chicken Schnitty: Crisp, generous schnitzel layers paired with house dressings make it the shop's benchmark order.

  • Fast Takeaway Cadence

    A prompt, no-nonsense ordering pace keeps customer queues moving efficiently during peak city lunch hours.

    To the point, no nonsense place. And it works well as the point is delicious sandwiches.

  • Made-To-Order Freshness

    Freshly sliced ingredients and made-to-order assembly near Central Station deliver reliable, generous value.

    All ingredients were fresh and good quality. I liked that not all the fillings were pre cut and some were prepared to order.

  • Tomato bocconcini sandwich

    I got their tomato bocconcini sandwich with Vienna sandwich. It was really refreshing and the ingredients were also super fresh.

  • Salami sandwich

    I ordered the salami sandwich. There was a choice in bread-type as well as size. I opted for the regular size which was still really big for a single person.
