The best kebabs/souvas in Melbourne

rockofclay · 1st April 2006, 4:02 PM

I consider myself quite the connoisseur of the good ol' tube of meat, and have journeyed to many a fine (and not so fine) kebab emporium in Melbourne. I was wondering what other people thought.

My favorites are:

1: Kebab House (Nicholson street, near emperess)
Get the lamb with chilli flakes and sauce. Brilliant

2:Ismalis (Sydney road)
Awesome chicken

3:Stalactites
Great chicken (they use the crispy bits)

Stay away from

1:Alaysa
Crap, plus they had a food poisoning thing (left the fridges off and served seafood salad)

2:Anything in a food-court(Ali babas and the like)

3: Any pre made bain-marie crap

I've had kebabs all over the place (specifically gone to places people say have mad kebabs), and the best ones are from a local kebab shop in a food court. Others didn't compare

Ali baba make some decent ones. (only tried it in canberra, there aren't many of them around in sydney)

Actually had a kebab yesterday and it was gross, threw half of it out.
Won't be having another for a few months now.

bah, not true! Have the one from kebab house and you'll know what I mean. Also aside from taste there is the soggyness factor and the size! Adanali and golden terrace (another couple of places on sydney road) are great for filling kebabs for 5-6 bucks.

i reckon kebab house on corner of church street and swan is by far the best...nothing comes close

No way, Ali Baba make awesome souvlaki's.

Best kebabs in Australia are from a guy who runs a kebab store outta the back of a caravan.

He works on the cr of Doncaster road and Middlebourgh road (in doncaster).
The place is at a car wash/mechanics place.

The name on the caravan is "Doner Kebabs"

These will not be equalled by any other kebabs anywhere.

The guys name is Ali, tell him Stevee sent you

Falafel House anyone?

For the Brisbaneites head over to Sunnybank. I don't know the name of the kebab shop, but the shopping centre its in is diagonally across from the Sunnybank mall (Cnr Mains road & Padstow road). The guy that owns it is a absolute champ too

Souvlaki King on Brunswick St is a regular favourite for late night missions.

Another vote for Souvlaki King here.

Which place near the Empress? The one across the road on the corner or the one just a few doors down near the CBA ATM machine machine?

I remember the Souvlaki Van that used to be at the Servo on Flemington Rd near the Royal Childrens. Almost every time I went there the Souva Man would try and fight a customer. Great late night theatre!
