  “Hands down the best sandwiches in Belfast. Top class food and top class staff. Been coming here from it opened and it’s 10/10 every time. Andrea is an absolute credit to the place and I hope they are here for many more years to come❤️❤️❤️”

  “Really disappointed with my lunch. Ordered the BLTC in a wrap. And at £10 this was a 'treat' lunch. Opened it when I got home only to discover I had been given just a BLT...main ingredient of the chicken was missing and also not a crouton in sight which is listed in the ingredients of this sandwich too. Shop was empty with only 2 other people who ordered after me so it wasn't even like they were run off their feet. Only for the fact I would have had to drive all the way back I didn't go in to complain and ask for the sandwich to be remade. Also just to respond to the reply I received. I have attached a picture of what I asked for which clearly listed the ingredients. Including chicken. This was on the website 'I want fed', which you take orders through as of yesterday. So I was not disappointed by my own choice. I was mislead by your incorrect information. But it's good to see you have now updated the ingredients on this site today to show what it actually includes. Maybe you could include the full story on your Instagram tomorrow for transparency.”

  “Absolutely love the food here. The flavours always work even though the menu changes often. Very creative! The bread is the unsung hero, it's flavourful & soft which makes it really easy to eat - not an extreme sport like with some sourdoughs! The Bhan Mi this week is perfect.”

  “Stumbled across this place by accident while up in Stranmillis this afternoon. I had the Chicken Parmo, what a sandwich, never had something so tasty and in Belfast. Worth the £10 I’ll be back to go sample the others!”

  “Very decent hand made fresh sandwiches/wraps and focaccia, with very interesting fillings and ingredients. Excellent flavour and presentation (with maybe a bit too much filler lettuce?). Certainly a "wee treat" place as apposed to a daily, given the prices. Fair play to the owners to get away with it around Stanmillis, but it seems way above, +c.50% more expensive than other very similar places in Belfast (e.g. Tasty Nosh, Stacked, Thyme, West). Serious hipster tax.”

  “I’ve been to stranwiches a good number of times and I have loved it every time. It does depend on the menu whether or not I go and visit but most months you will find something you like or want to try. My favourite will always be the turkey sandwich with pear slices, it sounds weird but it is the perfect combination. I think their sandwich ideas are original and cater towards everyone. As everything is fresh to order and there is always a line you can be waiting for around 15 minutes which seems like a long wait but gives you time to go next door for some traybakes or across the street to the shop and I would say the wait is worth it because the sandwiches are huge and have sometimes done me for lunch and dinner on the day.”

  “First time trying Stran-wiches today. My friend and I went at lunchtime for takeaway and were served immediately by a very pleasant member of staff. The music in the shop when we arrived was very loud, but a member of staff must have thought so too, and quickly turned it down a bit. I ordered the Reuben with pastrami, cheese, pickles, sauerkraut and mustard, and my friend ordered the Mexican chicken on a wrap. We waited less than 10 minutes until our order was ready, and we were able to pay separately using both cash and card payments. Now, onto the sandwich itself. I personally didn't feel that it was worth £12 for the size of my Reuben, and at £11, my friends' wrap was even smaller still. My foccacia was quite dry, and I'd have loved either a dipping sauce or even a little bit of mayo in addition to the mustard. There was SO much sauerkraut that I couldn't taste the cheese at all. I love sauerkraut and pickles in general, but to have so much on there that it overpowered everything else was really disappointing. The flavour profile was just really unbalanced for my taste, though the pastrami when I tried it by itself, was thinly sliced and super tasty. Now, onto the reason for the low rating. Most deli's will wrap a sandwich in paper, slice it in half, and THEN wrap it in foil. At Stran-wiches, they wrap it in the paper and foil and then slice it which means that when I went to eat my Reuben, I kept finding tiny bits of foil throughout the first few bites closest to where it had been cut. I found this really off-putting because it effectively forced me to use my fingers to dig through my sandwich to remove them, which on an airated bread like foccacia wasn't easy!! Such a silly mistake to make, but it significantly affected my enjoyment of my lunch, and my first impression of this place. My friends opinion of her Mexican Chicken wrap was that everything was fresh and the texture of the wrap was so pleasant, but the sauce was so overpowering that it was all she could taste. After eating her wrap, she was still a bit hungry too, which after spending £11 definitely shouldn't be the case. Overall, I'd probably go back to Stran-wiches and maybe try one of the salad bowls next time but I think, especially on Stranmillis where you have really class places to choose from for lunchtime offerings, it would be way lower down on my list.”

  “Had a second visit to this wonderful and delicious sandwich shop I saw they had the salted beef sandwich and it looked delicious. Ordered it and it lived up to any expectations I had...well it tasted even better than what I could have believed it to before tasting it. It brought out home comfort memories of years gone by. The bread was delicious, bursting with flavour. The combination of the salted beef with the cabbage really went well together. I love to just pop in and grab a delectable sandwich to enjoy on the way home. The queue was mad but well worth the wait. Staff are friendly and food is prepared quickly.”

  “The atmosphere of the shop is exactly what I’d hoped it would be, a small local establishment with a clear view of the fresh sandwiches being prepped in the back. There was a little bit of a wait but that’s to be expected for fresh homemade quality and I didn’t mind that at all. The lady serving (who I assume is the owner) was very pleasant and provided great customer service. I opted for the “Cold Cuts” but it wasn’t quite the winner I’d hoped it to be with the high in quality cured Italian meats overpowering the the flavour from the rest of the ingredients - so sadly not a choir singing the same tune. Hoping I might find the perfect sandwich at my next visit.”

  “My brother comes to Stran-wiches every week and has been raving about it. I had to try it out and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The shop is in a great location and it serves the sandwiches like you would expect at a deli counter. The staff were super friendly and the branding is solid. I loved the mosaic design at the entrance. The options on the menu were vast and provided me one of the best vegan sandwiches I have ever had. I always enjoy when vegan food doesn't include anything 'fake' but rather, works with already existing ingredients and makes them shine. The deep fried oyster mushrooms are the perfect example of this and we're absolutely amazing with the Thai style sauce. I would say anyone, vegan or not would love this combination. I can't wait to see what other vegan options come onto the menu! I think the price point for the size of sandwich is spot on and the bread options really made for a good level of customisation. Plus I think focaccia being using for sandwiches is just a stroke of genius, it absorbs the sauce and flavour really well whilst not becoming soggy. Overall absolutely class spot, just go try it for yourself 😊”
