It’s a fun and fanciful place that has a flying horse with a cowboy hat as a lamp, and Queen Sally’s Diamond Deli is exactly that sort of place. Opened after a fire gutted the nearby Maranui café back in 2009, Queen Sally’s was created to keep the hardworking café team in employment, but nearly ten years on (and with Maranui now well and truly re-opened) this colourful little deli café isn’t going anywhere. With a big emphasis on vegan and vegetarian options, expect to see no meat options in the cabinet, just beautiful sammys, samosas, salads, and filled wraps all without animal protein.
