Mushroom footy pie for 11.84 (incl tip).. & it had potato inside. The potato, for me, disrupts the texture of the mushroom. Not bad; pastry is nice, seasoning tasty. ofc the price will be different overseas, aussie pies are novel here but the price was shocking.
Delicious pies! The service was also fast & accommodating. The standout pies are the butter chicken & any of the steak pies. The pastry dough used in their pies is very flakey & not too buttery.
As an Australian, I had to walk into this shop to see what was going on & to be told their pies are better than in NZ/Aus…. I don't think I was lied to. & I have had some damn good pies in NZ! The butter chicken pie was their best seller & after having tried their steak & mushroom, I had to go back to see what the fuss was about. The most buttery pastry a pie-girl could ever wish for with beautiful fillings. 10/10

After years of wanting to visit, I finally stopped by with my son & my dad. Sadly, I was disappointed. The pastry was flaky & tasted good, but it was mostly empty inside. For the price, I expected it to be much more generously filled. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype or the wait.
I was there yesterday after a door dash shift , & the young man who was working greeted me with biggest smile, i had the mishroom cheese pie as well as the butter chicken pie , the poes were out of this world, the pastry was awesome & its like nothing youve ever had. If you are on parc ave & looking for a very satisfying meat or vege pie, do yourselves a favor & go there. I will definitely be going back.
We used to look forward to our visits to Ta Pies, but our last experience will sadly be our last. Over the past 10 years or more, we've happily enjoyed many Ned Kelly's, Curried Veggies (our favourite) & Butter Chickens. After being away for some months, the pie that we bought today was almost laughable, except that it cost us 31$ for a virtually empty pastry shell. The minuscule quantity of chicken in the butter chicken was, frankly, insulting. If there has been a recent change of ownership, as inferred from a previous review, it is surely not for the best.
Little bit hard to get to if you don't have a car. Had a steak & cheese pie straight from the oven. Pastry light & fluffy & filling so great.Good balance of steak a cheese. Would definitely go back
Nicely decorated little shop. Staff were nice & very friendly. I was told the butter chicken is the best seller but honestly didn't think it really blew me away. Would recommend the classic beef though. Buttery pastry shell stuffed with delicious fillings. They have the frozen/refrigerated pies if you want to stock up the fridge with quick but filling meals.
