Kanga

We are here on Saturday afternoon. It’s now Monday morning and I am dreaming of the Butter Chix pie that I ate. My god, was it good. I am currently debating paying an international shipping fee to experience the goodness again.

My Kanga meal delivered today was the best ever! I’d never experienced your cuisine (or delivery) before. The pie was delicious, the french fries outstanding, and the salad entirely perfect (not to mention generous). Delivery was prompt and the food arrived in perfect condition.
Indeed, it was like eating in Australia itself!
I shall be eating your meals frequently in future.

This takes me back to when I was in primary school and the school tuck shop had these delicious sausage rolls and hot british meat pies. So satisfying.
I personally wish you could taste the marmite more but overall delicious and really hit the spot.

I first tried Kanga Aussie pie at a night market event and from then on I cannot forget about that delightful meaty texture and flavor (extra points added due to I am a meat person)
Excited walking in this small shop, there were at most 8 high chairs available to sit inside the shop, and 2 benches outside for summer time overlooking the street. Bought the traditional aussie pie $ 7 and got a plate & knife, sit down.
It was served hot which makes it even more tasty. Pastry is buttery and flaky. When I cut it in half, the minced beef and sauce (gravy) comes right out. The filling is not too salty, moist enough, and the amount of it was enough for me to share with another person as a snack.
I understand why people are complaining about the high prices of the pies ($ 7-​$ 8) for the look of it ie the size. However, I can promise you, you will not regret trying the pies in this place. It is a good pie overall with a variety of pies to choose from. Next time, I will be trying chicken pie/​the canadian pie (steak and bacon)
Friendly service, and clean environment. Stop by for a bite when you are tired from shopping on Queen street.

so i decided to give this place a try after walking past it so many times and reading so many good reviews on it.
first of all, it was quite expensive for the size they give you. like around $ 8 – 10 is pretty ridiculous. it’s smaller than the size of my face ok.
second, the taste was alright. i had such high hopes and it didn’t taste like how i would imagine it to taste like. i would rather walk down to owl of Minerva down on spadina then to eat this. i could get a pork bone soup for around that much. honestly.

Australian meat pies. Had the original which was fairly tasty, but my only knock on it is that it comes out lukewarm, which is a bit disappointing. I think it would taste better if it was a bit hotter.
Not really sure how they’re made. They ran out of the butter chicken pie and said they won’t expect another shipment for a few days, which makes me wonder how they’re made and how long they sit there before I order one.
The fries are pretty flavorful. The chicken salt is very tasty, but the fries aren’t crisp and some of the fries are a bit droopy.

Dropped by here after reading raving reviews on Unilocal.Well. The pies were just ‘ok’. Given the price, they are not cheap but the fillings were .hmm…a bit underwhelming.

Had the Traditional pie today. Nice balance of filling and ingredients to pastry. Good overall flavour, not overwhelming like some of the other places I’ve tried. Pastry good but not as flakey as the best. All in all though a good pie!
Friendly service, clean establishment.

Deliciousness! Great «personal» sized pies and cute little store. Came here for lunch on weekday, short line but I ordered through an app beforehand so was able to pick up my order right when I got there. Pie was nicely packaged up and was warm. I ordered the Aussie pie (~$ 6) and in my opinion was the perfect size for one. The crust was flaky which I love and the filling inside was delicious, not too salty as some savoury pies tend to be.
Will be back to try other flavours and definitely recommend to those who have not tried it!

Pro: Pies are delicious.
I bought Aussie Traditional and Kiwi Classic. I like the Aussie Traditional more but they are both very delicious. Now I kindda want more!
Cons: I didn’t care for the staff much. He was being a joker and forgot about our order. Also, I wished he would label which pie was which because I had to refer to Unilocalers pictures to figure it out.

Passed by this place a couple of times and figured I would finally give it a try. I decided to get the 4 for $ 24 frozen pie deal (price is included in the tax) but there weren’t a whole lot of selections available. I asked the lady at the cash if I can only select from what is in the fridge but she told me that you can pick your own combination of the four.
After letting her know that it was my first time and asking for some recommendations, she told me a couple, like Traditional Aussie, Canadian, Butter Chix, Mum’s Chicken Pea, and Creamy Zucchini. She also told me of this ‘four fave’ combo which includes most of the 5 I’ve mentioned.
I ended up getting two Traditional, one Butter Chix, and one Creamy Zucchini. They got them out from the freezer in the floor below (through the employee only area), put them nicely in a small pizza box. The lady at the cashier explained about how they have this icon system so that you can tell which pie has which flavour.
After I got home from about an hour and half of public transit and walking, the pies were still cold. The box came with instructions so I preheated a toaster oven at the suggested temperature and applied egg wash meanwhile. Half an egg would have been enough for all four pies but they’re kind of hard to find in grocery stores. I baked them for about 40 minutes (considering the unavoidable thawing time) and they turned out to be quite soft. If you want to have it a bit crunchier you could try baking it for longer, or try using an actual oven. I did notice that one of the icons started dissolving into the crust.
They all tasted okay. Traditional tasted like salty gravy (not super salty), Butter Chix tasted like what you would expect from curry chicken, and Creamy Zucchini tasted like Alfredo pasta minus the pasta. And more zucchini. Considering the price of about $ 6.50 each (unless you get the four pie deal) about the size of the palm of your hand, the pies were alright. I wouldn’t come here on regular basis.
While the staff was friendly and helpful, the taste for that price is just okay. Maybe it would taste better if you get them fresh from the shop, or maybe the other ones taste better.

Quick very friendly service this evening! She was very welcoming and made some suggestions after knowing it was our first time.
Butter Chix– Creamy subtle kick of butter chicken spice… Saucy very enjoyable!
Mum’s Chicken Pie — Classic was not disappointed LOVE the touch of Chardonnay really gave it that extra little something
Traditional Aussie — Saucey, meaty, has a little potato (not too much… Which I really appreciate because I didn’t have an allergic reaction to it from that very reason)
Surprisingly even though these little guys are the size of your palm they are actually decently filling ! … You might just need 2 – 4 to fill you up depending on how much you can handle.
Price is okay … About $ 7 each Palm sized pie. They have 4 pies for $ 24 to take home and cook located in the freezer (I feel that is a better suited price for the cooked ones too)
On the plus size the hand held sizes lets you try more flavours!
Would recommend people to check it out!

Aussie pies? Never even heard of such a thing (I apologize if I’ve insulted anyone). But damn! this stuff is GOOD.
An assortment of gooey, saucey and flavourful fillings wrapped in a flaky, buttery phyllo crust. What more can one ask for? Aromatic and tastes off the charts!
I don’t know of any other places in the GTA that serve meat pies and especially Aussie meat pies so I can’t compare But whatever I have eaten here, be it chicken, beef or just simply veggies, they are all so satisfying. Butter chicken is my favourite so far.
The only quibble I have is that one is just not quite enough and 2 maybe a bit much. They are an odd size (about the size of a clench fist).
They also have this stuff frozen and in bulk so you can eat this stuff at home.
Definitely drop by and give them a try. I love this stuff.

I gave Kanga another try, following my «only ok» experience when they first opened. They now have a lunch special with a pie and salad or fries, for around $ 11. It’s still a bit expensive but roughly on par with lunch prices everywhere else.
The pies themselves are much better, with a thinner, flakier crust and a better filling to pastry ratio, in my opinion. I still haven’t ventured from the traditional, but the pulled pork pie looks amazing and is next on my list.
Plus points for offering frozen pies to take home and charging points for cellphones in the (small) sit down area. They also have a bench outside which is nice.
Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area!

Dropped by here for a bite as I was in the area. Tried the traditional and creamy zucchini… Loved it! The pie crust was flaky, lots of texture. The fillings were seasoned very well, nice balance overall and super yummy! :) I liked it so much I bought the fav4 pack to go to bring home! Their coffee is also really good. The expression blend was excellent. Totally enjoyed my cup of joe :) would definitely come by next time I’m down in the area again! Seems
Pretty authentic :) staff are super friendly and helpful with suggestions as well!

I picked up the 4 pack of frozen pies (24 $) which included the traditional, creamy zucchini, butter chicken, and the Canadian (steak and bacon).
My fav was the butter chicken and the traditional meat pie. The crust on the pies is divine — they definitely use real butter. I liked the cream zucchini the least, the flavour is just not there. The Canadian was so-​so but don’t think I’d have it again.
It’s a little joint just south of Queen on Duncan Street. The service was fantastic! I didn’t get the girl’s name but she was very attentive even though she was preparing three coffee orders.
I would definitely go back and pick up a bunch of the butter chicken pies. It’s so easy to prepare when you just don’t feel like cooking, or you have company over.

I had the Traditional Aussie Meat Pie — Minced beef in a savoury gravy with a touch of vegemite.
Loved this! The meat was very delicious and went well with the gravy. The gravy was just the perfect amount — it wasn’t soupy inside nor overpower the meat. The pastry was very fluffy, and to which I find they use butter instead of shortening (a win!). As they recommend, «best enjoyed with ketchup». Initially I was skeptical about adding ketchup because meat plus gravy was perfect already for me. But after trying it with ketchup, there is the salt + sour combination from the gravy and ketchup that just made everything more delicious!
The fresh cut fries were awesome too!
Also had their Flat White. This was a damn good flat white, using beans from Propeller Coffee. Love the taste and the smoothness of the drink. And best of all, I didn’t feel the acidity that I feel on others.
I will be back to try the other interesting pies like Kiwi Classic, El Diablo and The Canadian.

Aussie meat pie kinda place … not too far from union station, Queen West area. Small with a few seats.
For about $ 7-​$ 8 you get a big-​ish fist size (I have small hands) meat pie made quite uniquely. It’s good, filling and comes nice and hot. Although for that price you can get more in portion elsewhere but if you’re in the area I’d say still give them a try.
They have the following pies:
Traditional Aussie (minced beef with gravy), Kiwi Classic (minced beef with white cheddar), The Canadian (steak and bacon), Butter Chix (chicken curry in tomato sauce), Mum’s Chicken Pie (chicken pot pie), Creamy Zucchini (zucchini and caramel with onion, garlic and cream cheese), El Diablo (pulled pork filling and mash potato top), Mates Masala Pie (Indian chickpea curry with egg plant and sweet potato) and Brekkie Pie (tomatoes, bacon, eggs and cheddar cheese).
They also have Sausage Rolls and Spinach Rolls.
They sell frozen pies in boxes too (4/​$ 24). Some boxes consist of one flavour and others have a variety. If you buy in box I calculated a bit cheaper than getting an individual one there.
No I did not see any kangaroo meat pies or any kind of delicacy with that kinda meat but it’s not bad for what it is. Apparently they’re famous for their coffees too but I didn’t get to try so can’t comment on that…
And if you’re still not full after a pie, there’s also a sawarma place next door!
Oh AND because you know I enjoy my alcoholic beverages. they also suggest certain wine (Shiraz and Chardonnay) to go with your pies too!
Oh AND they have wireless charge spots on the tables.

Came here to pick up a quartet of frozen meat pies for the weekend after having a full dinner at Pai (down the street on Duncan), but was so tempted by the warm goods in the display case that I gave in and also got a fresh order of piping hot chicken salt fries ($ 3.75, regular size box). The Porcelain Price, you are worth it.
I’ve come here for lunch take-​out or a quick snarf on the outside bench by their window, where in the past, I’ve chosen the butter chicken pies. Or here, as they call it: Butter Chix. The sweet way the pleasant blonde lady shop manager said it in her cute Aussie accent made it it even more appealing. Buttuh chee-​icks. Cuuuute.
Hubs ate the traditional pie today and said it was OK. Tasted like Vegemite to me, but the hubs could only feel the umami mouth-​feel, the kind you get from tomato paste.
I’ll probably eat the frozen Butter Chix soon, since we’ve already cracked an egg for the egg washed top (this is only if you decide to get them frozen — they will do this for you in-​store if you’re eating them that day). It’s less creamy than the way I usually my butter chicken, but I think it does make sense not to make it overly creamy when it’s already surrounded by a pie pastry. After that, I will go for the creamy zucchini. Then after that, I will eat the Kiwi pie. Then after that… Kanga pies forever.

Came here for Pi Day! We originally intended to go to Pie Squared, but they close at 7PM on Saturdays, so Kanga it was! Got there around 7:30ish and the only pies they had left were Traditional and Canadian. We bought one of each and split them.
The Traditional was definitely my favorite of the two. Full of flavor, with little chunks of potato and onion. The Canadian was more gravy-​flavored with pieces of tender beef, however, I found myself adding sriracha to it to make it more interesting. As good as they are, I find them to be a tad over-​priced. We came here for a special occasion but I can’t see myself coming regularly for that price.
The place was being taken care of by one woman who was friendly and nice. I liked the fact that they have charge spots to let you power your phone while you chow.
