Reuben Hills has become a household name in Surry Hills. We decided to revisit for the namesake "(Not) Reuben" sandwich in our desperation to find a good Reuben in Sydney after the sad close down of Ruby & Rach, which in our opinion was the hands-down best Reuben joint at the time. Read til the end for the verdict...
The "Not Reuben" seriously has nothing to do with Reuben Sandwich, it is more appropriately a brisket sandwich or for meat-lovers like us really a veggie sandwich plus a thin slice of brisket on the side. Imagine a moist and juicy piece of brisket...well this was the complete opposite. Apart from the sweetness of the coleslaw we couldn't really taste anything else.
We are glad we ordered this chicken and restored the rightful balance of protein in a weekend brunch. We came for the "Not Reuben" but found solace in the chicken. The seasoning was familiar and good in a way, with a hint of chilli kick to it. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the skin was thin and crispy with the meat tender and juicy.
