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.

Such a gem on Pascoe! Naz provides incredibly friendly service and always goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food is consistently amazing—easily some of the most delicious Greek food around. It's also fantastic value for the quality and generous portion sizes you get. Fast, fresh, and highly recommended. Do yourself a favour and check them out!

On a Sunday evening this was the only souvlaki place near by who served baklava. I was skeptic since I have driven past this place and never been inside. However to my surprise this place is so clean inside . Outside it might be deceptive and the baklava did not disappoint either. Loved every bite. Haven't tried the Souvlaki yet, but given how the baklava tastes I am going back here.

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 🙏
