Food, Drink & Dining Out The best lamb kebab?

[walshy93]

I'm speaking from Melbourne here, but lately I have had a spate of shit kebabs. Well, not shit, but not that great, I really just want that post drinking, damn fine lamb kebab that is so fabled after a big night out.

I find the 'lamb' to not really be lamb, rather, it's that processed SPAM-looking stuff.

Where can I get a quality lamb kebab in Melbourne? Or anywhere for that matter?

In Adelaide we call them Yiros and generally most places have the proper meat, unlike interstate where you get that loaf compressed shit.

Best I reckon is Yanni's Yiros at the West end of Hindley street. Huge horizontal spit over coals, with proper chicken, lamb and pork. Nothing but Yiros, no chips, no fish, no hamburgers, no nothing, just Yiros. Cash only. Awesome.

Stalactites or GTFO

Savvas Yiros Unley Road is quality, they make great falafel too.

Sam's cafe in Geelong does THE best Shawarma (marinated lamb kebab with awesome sauce) I have ever had.... I think about them all the time and get incredibly depressed when I try a "shawarma" up here in Sydney which is inevitably disappointing

Alasya's on Sydney Road make a pretty good kebab. There about the size of a football

For Perth, The place on Kewdale Road in Rivervale are the best kebab's i've ever tasted, However your more likely to get your wallet stolen out front so hurry inside.

Yyyyyyeeees!

A few years ago, me and my dad got into Melbourne at about 1am. We were absolutely starving, my uncle met us at the airport and recommended it. I always go when I'm in Melbourne, it's just so good.

Nowhere in Perth comes close. Maybe that place in Freo, Ali Baba is it?

Kosmos in leederville was good 20 years ago and still is. Peters by the sea was good 20 years ago and crap now.

Tiba's on Sydney Rd make a great kebab. Real meat, not that processed stuff.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Cedar Cafe in Newport makes awesome kebabs. Real lamb not the donor (although I like both).

Heathmont Kebabs next to the car wash

Bundoora Kebabs, Plenty Road.

In Adelaide we call them Yiros and generally most places have the proper meat, unlike interstate where you get that loaf compressed shit.

First it was Parmi, now Yiros. Is there a separate South Australian dictionary available?

Bundoora Kebabs, Plenty Road.

+ 1.

Very good kebabs, know the owner top bloke as well, would definitely recommend.

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

Melbourne Kebab Station on Sydney Road.

Best kebabs in all of Melbourne that I've tasted. Big servings too.

 

[Cruyff14]

Walshy if you live in Dallas get down to Mckleham Rd in Tullamarine and go to Pitstop Kebabs. Best $8 you'll ever spend.

tibas in melbourne was without a doubt the best lebanese restauraunt ive ever been to. unbelievably delicious

as for stalacites looks like i have a new place to try when i head there again.

for the lads in the west. the little castle in vic park has this pricey platter 20 bucks but its quite delish. theres this platter at the turkish restauraunt alaturka which is quite tasty but a bit pricey.

for a cheap tasty kebab turkish oven in vic park or little lebanon in joondana is pretty good.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Kebab van at the servo on the corner of Mt Alexander Rd and Flemington St (next to the Red Rooster, just past Flemington Bridge station). I lived in that area for just over a year recently and they were consistently the best kebabs I've ever had.

 

[magic_johnson!]

Kebab empire in Geelong is amazingly good. Abrakebabra in Byron close second

 

[Upgrayedd]

Kosmos in leederville was good 20 years ago and still is. Peters by the sea was good 20 years ago and crap now.

Still do a mean hamburger

 

[Catfish Alley]

Nikos Takeway on Exeter Rd, North Croydon. Probably more of a souvlaki but seriously awesome. They are huge and they trim off the crispy bits and stack them on top. So good!

 

[Prem87]

Lambs on Lygon St Carlton

Stalactites on Cnr Russell and Lonsdale

Lambs on High St Northcote

 

[Silent Alarm]

Gonna have to check out some of these other recommendations. I'll be in Melbourne this time next week, I might have to persuade Gibbsy to get into the greatness of Stalactites.

I can't speak for Melbourne, but some of the genuine turkish places in Germany are absolutely fantastic. I'm thinking a trip to turkey might be on the cards, those people definitely know how to eat! I hear people heralding Italy as the epitome of food goodness, but the Turks certainly know what they're doing.

Admittedly they call them Yiros in Greece too, although they tend to spell it (in English) Gyros.

Do you guys differentiate between Kebab and Souvlaki?
