Souvlaki King on Pascoe

Dropped in while roaming the neighbourhood, lured by decent Google reviews and the scent of charcoal smoke. The place wasn’t busy, just one man behind the counter — owner, grill master, host — doing it all himself. Respect. The spit was spinning over glowing coals, promising something primal. The souvlaki that landed in my hands looked the part — wrapped in blistered, golden bread, loaded with salad, garlic sauce, and meat that had just kissed fire. But here’s the thing — for $17, I expected more. Not just more meat (which was on the stingy side), but more flavour. The garlic sauce was passable, not punchy. The meat? Juicy, yes, but flat — like it forgot the seasoning back in the kitchen. Maybe an off day. Maybe just not for me. Fresh ingredients? Absolutely. Friendly service? Without a doubt. But in Melbourne — a city that takes its souvas seriously — this one didn’t hit the high notes. I’ve had better. I won’t be rushing back. Rating: 2.5–3/5 Would love to be proven wrong another day.

I can't believe I've lived in the area 7 years and only just discovered this place. We ordered takeaway for 9 people and everyone loved their Souvlaki. The portion was great and meat so flavourful and tender. All ingredients are fresh. The chips were magnificent and salted perfectly for salt lovers. The service is professional and store is so clean with dining in available indoors and outside. The team are friendly and seem relaxed even though they are so busy with their orders. This is definitely a place we will add to our regular eating out selection. Keep it up the great work 🙏

Over several orders, each time our meal has been spot on. We order online for a set pickup time and it’s ready on time. We get home (10 minute trip) and tuck in. Hot & fresh souvlaki’s (chicken and halloumi are our go to). The chips are as close to perfect as you’ll get. Friendly staff who ask if you would like cutlery etc to be added… great service.

We got takeaway and it was delicious. Amazing service. KSP crispy chips, souvlaki heaps of scrumptious lamb. Thank you. Will be back.
