"The Lamb Shank and Red Wine Pie is said to be one of Sydney’s best meat pie – chunky stew-saucy lamb shank fillings in a buttery crusty pastry. Grandma would be happy."

"The pies look totally different to the others with a pretty crown pattern and the pastry is an entirely different affair with an all butter puff that rains crumbs everywhere. I adore the buttery pastry but these pies are rich so I don't know if I could finish an entire one."

"If you haven’t tried pastry from Black Star in Newtown, then you really don’t know what you’re missing. Their pies are no slouch. The brisket pie made with locally brewed Young Henrys beer is rich and hearty."

"This really was the stand-out pie. Buttery pastry and super crisp that shatters on biting into it. A really high quality dough that is also nicely seasoned in its own right. The filling is so fragrant with rosemary, you could smell the comfort on its way into your mouth. It was the best pie both from a technical perspective when it came to the quality of the pastry, and also from the flavour."

"Beautifully tender hunks of braised lamb shank with red wine and vegies are captured in feather-light pastry."

"Try the beef and brisket pie. You won’t regret it. "

"There's no doubting that pastry chef Christopher Thé is some kind of culinary-wizard. Tender bits of shredded lamb are smothered in red wine gravy; miraculously, the surrounding pastry does not get soggy at all. Certainly worthy of all the attention it gets."

"Black Star Pastry whips up a mean meat pie. Thanks to Christopher The’s team of pastry chefs, the pies are worth it purely for their flaky, buttery shells. The fillings are something special, take the lamb shank pie; organic and slow-cooked with red wine, it is a delight from start to finish."
