The 'Best Kebab In Town' Thread

Pepscobra · 30-08-2016, 02:45 PM

I hope this is not a silly topic...

I love a good kebab, its probably my favourite fast food.

Anyways, today I was on the road for work and I stopped in at the new Harrisdale Shopping Centre (south east of Perth) and spotted a new Kebab shop called "The Kebab Lads". Great looking store, really nice colours and authentic looking fitout. So I had to try a kebab... it was amazing! I'm not joking, it was the best kebab I've had in a while. They were also making fresh turkish bread, straight out of the oven, so I had to grab one of those also.

So, got me thinking... where abouts in each city can you find a great kebab?

Not so much a kebab but a souvo/gyros is my pick. There's a place in Melbourne (Airport West) called "The D's" and it is hands down the best souvo joint in Melbourne. Fresh lean lamb cooked on charcoal topped with fresh salads and gallons of tzatziki sauce

There's a Greek joint on Keilor rd (I think north side opposite 7-11) that is supposed to be as good as that Kebab van you guys speak of - But he has weird hours, like only opened 3-4 days a week.

There use to be one called Gyro's in High St Thornbury in the late 70's & 80's also cooked over the coals, been a long time since I use to have the old souvo's!

The D's Souvlaki in Airport West is only cooked on coals, good stuff.

I will be checking D's out soon since you & Loud_Noises talk highly of it.

Cheers.

Sutherland Kebab House

Flora st Sutherland NSW.
There is always a queue, but never much of a wait

Plenty of meat and less salad, "so Aussie styled" !

A great eat, even when you're OFF the TURPS

Check their Facebook page before you make the trip:

They used to be open 6 days a week when they first started, 11AM-3AM in the morning now they're only open a few days a week and barely any little hours of the morning anymore :(

If anyone happens to be in Sunbury, there is a little kebab van called 'Kebabish', its not the best Kebab I've ever had but for Sunbury it goes pretty good, draws a bit of a crowd too, they had a car meet there a few weeks back:

Its on Horne Street, opposite Big W/Safeway/Cinemas.

'Best Kebab In Town' - Is that an oxymoron?

Russ · 30-08-2016, 03:21 PM

After a night on the grog when the munchies kick in, any kebab that stays down is a good kebab

**redxm** · 30-08-2016, 06:14 PM

Al's kebab van Coonamble NSW

Big_Daz · 31-08-2016, 05:15 PM

Used to Love Char Char Yiro's in Boundary Street West End.. Bloody fantastic but they have apparently closed down now..

My old favourite though was in New Farm on Brunswick street in the same complex as Pizza Hut and Nightowl.. Seemed to be open all the time and the kebab's where always top shelf... Its been a while since ive been so not sure if still their but worth a look if your in the area..

Both of the Above are in Brisbane

The Yeti · 31-08-2016, 05:33 PM

My favorite is Star Kabab in Richmond NSW, Ive been going there since leaving $1 drinks on a Thursday night / Friday morning at Samantha's in 1990 their chips are crap but their kababs rock, what sucks **** is the local fun police have forced them to close at 10;30 on a Thursday night and midnight Friday and Saturday

I might be getting old but there is NO better kebab than one at 3:30am with a belly full of bitter

Another good one is on the highway at Albian Park in the carpark of the ethanol servo

Awesome idea for a thread Pepscobra

I can't imagine how it could be any better. Beats the hell out of anything we have locally. I look forward to going to the big smoke just to go there.

The last few times I've been there, the food was bordering on inedible. There's a place two doors down on Lonsdale St that is heaps better.

In Perth, Peters by the Sea at Scarbs.
For a burger in Perth, can't beat Alfreds Kitchen in Guildford, with Pea n Ham soup.

Mowdit · 31-08-2016, 09:41 PM

MMMMMMMMM Burgers
Paul's hamburgers
Sydney
Engadine and Sylvania
Eaten at both, great

CoupeKing · 31-08-2016, 09:50 PM

'Rude Boy Burger' in Brunswick are great!

Jumbo Kebabs Mitcham. Started in a caravan at a disused servo, now has 3 or 4 permanent stores from memory, around Ringwood and Doncaster area.

CoupeKing · 02-09-2016, 08:57 PM

What I hate about any Kebab/souv joint is the timing.Try and get in before the queue, or wait till their gone. (extremely hard to do when straight let alone when you're hammered). WHAT you want is the first shave - the meat has a nice bark on the outside (especially cooked on coals) and juicy underneath.

Squalo · 03-09-2016, 08:06 AM

Hard to find good kebabs on the Sunshine Coast but Phoenix Kebabs at Mooloolaba (under Mantra hotel) is pretty good.

Beef, onion, tomato, tabouli, cheese, with combination of garlic and hot chilli sauce - terrific.

baboon · 04-09-2016, 01:25 PM

Kebab Kings Spencer St & Dudley St, West Melbourne - The Jumbo kebabs feed a family and taste great. They do deliver if close via Menulog!

XB GS 351 Coupe · 04-09-2016, 04:26 PM

Depends on where you live, any Kebab shop in Bankstown is pretty hard to beat.

But Sydney Star Kebab on Marion Street Bankstown are up there with the best of them, and probably the best hot chips and garlic sauce I have ever tasted.

Just don't get shot or robbed when you go there.

If you do make sure you've eaten the kebab first so you can die with a smile on your face and no regrets

No regrets for you, an epic surprise for the attending physician when they cut you open for the autopsy
