About Charlie's Kitchen

Tucked along Aviation Road, Charlie's Kitchen serves proper New Zealand-style savoury pies built with flaky pastry and generous chunks of tender meat. Tradies and westside regulars line up at this no-frills takeaway shop for the steak and cheese, packed with diced steak under rich gravy. The hot case turns out crisp fried chicken alongside fresh wontons and imported Feijoa Fizz. Travellers make it a routine highway pitstop, often picking up six-packs of frozen pies to take home.

  • New Zealand-Style Pies: Flaky pastry encasing generous chunks of beef, with bacon and egg or pepper steak as regular favorites.
  • Hot Sides & NZ Drinks: Crisp fried chicken nibbles and hot wontons served fresh alongside imported Kiwi soft drinks like Feijoa Fizz.
  • Frozen Take-Home Packs: Multi-packs of frozen savoury pies available straight from the shop for batch heating at home.

  • Authentic Kiwi Flavours That Feel Like Home

    Kiwi ex-pats experience genuine nostalgia with traditional New Zealand-style savoury pies and authentic Kiwi beverages.

    The first bite instantly reminded me of home. It’s rare to find pies this authentic outside of NZ, and they absolutely nailed it.

  • No Skimping on Wholesome Meat Ingredients

    Generous meat-rich fillings and quality scratch baking give customers peace of mind and satisfaction that pies are not skimping on portions.

    when I bit into the curry pie from Charlie's Kitchen to get a nice, tender bit of chicken, I knew that I had found an establishment sticking to its roots.

  • Take-Home Frozen Packs for Long-Distance Supply

    Customers can stock up on frozen multi-packs of their favourite savoury pies to take home or transport interstate.

    Best pies, wonton are my favourite and the people are so nice... Get a little busy at times.. And, the pies sell out quick most weekend days so be in early. I always get 6 frozen pies for a pie fix..
