Biggie Smalls was awesome, such a cool twist on a standard kebab shop. I wasn't too adventurous on this visit - just settling for a Juicy but overheard people raving about the Dirty South (Fried Chicken).... YES - THAT'S RIGHT... FRIED CHICKEN KEBAB! This place is weird yet awesome. Can confirm the crinkles are awesome, the corn thingy is a weird salad option... not so good. read more

Yes, yes, yes. Finally someone (other than ol' mate Calombaris) has made kebabs cool. Serving a variety of trendy, can-be-eaten-sober kebabs Biggie Smalls has only recently popped up along the kebab-heavy Smith Street. With an interior I want IN MY HOUSE - think pastel tiles, 50s diner-style booths and amazing retro bar stools - this is a place you will want to pop in for a mid-week lunch or maybe a Saturday afternoon snack. It's trendy, cool and the kebabs are just the same. I went with the Flaxseed Falafel kebab, titled the C.Wallace, while my lunch date went for the Dirty South - packed with fried chicken and pumpkin pie hummus. Both were delicious and the absolute perfect size! It filled us up without the dreaded food guilt that often comes with this type of food. There are two sauces to choose from to go with your kebab, the Old School (garlic and mint sauce) or the New School (kewpie mayo). Being a retro queen I naturally had to go with the Old School and you should not fear it! I didn't have that dreaded stinky garlic breath after (that I know of). Biggie Smalls has an impressive variety of craft beers available (like, a huge selection), they do a classic RnB inspired Gin 'n' Juice and have also jumped on the boozy shake bandwagon. What more could you possibly want?! read more

Kebabs just went from a "negative to a positive" at biggie smalls! Dam they make them delicious! Who knew you could enjoy a kebab sober and during daylight hours. Definitely hit this place up next time your on smith street. Apart from the relaxed and super cool atmosphere pumping the notorious man himself and other hip hop tunes the food here really is off the hook. Run by celebrity chef Shane Delia (hottie alert!) the food isn't like a normal greasy kebab shop with bay maries and mystery meat. I went down the traditional route and ordered the A Rab kebab and a root best float sans booze. The kebab was amazing, delicious meat, soft wrap and creamy garlicy hummus. All kebabs come with signature hot sauce but even for my pansy tastebuds it wasn't too hot. I accidentally ordered the root bear float forgetting that root bear is devil medicine disguised as soft drink but it was actually surprisingly yum. They also have a decent amount of sides you can order like Mac and cheese, crinkle fries, corn dogs and salads. The era of the sober kebab may well have started so next time your in smith street be sure to join in the party. read more

One word for this place: YUM! Shane Delia sure knows the way to my heart, he can do no wrong in my food eyes. I ate here for lunch yesterday and ordered the "dirty south" fried chicken kebab ($14) w/ lettuce, pickled onion, garlic & lemon aioli and hot crinkles chips (biggie is $5.50) and let me tell you this was the best kebab of my life - and I have eaten my fair share of kebabs in Greece, Turkey and the Middle East. The wrap itself was soft as a cloud, the chicken was perfectly crispy and moist and the lemon aioli gave the right amount of 'zing' and tied everything together nicely. The chips were so so yummy! I honestly cannot wait to return and try the A-rab kebab next! 10/10! read more

This place has no sign. It just says open in red. If you wanna spend $20+ each for a kebab and coke go ahead. My friends kebab had hardly any meat in it, and the kebab was packed with chips (also given chips on side and coke for $6.50 extra / wtf). My Chicken BSP has too many crispy bits and hardly any chicken.. infact, I couldn't even find chicken, it was tiny bits of ground chicken amongst the fries which took the majority of the dish. It was $4 extra for a can of Coke. $4.. lol. The cheese and flavor was ok, but there are so many kebab places that will give you a proper portion of meat at half the price. This is no snack pack... I will never follow a yelp review more than a year old - I feel this place should be $$$, and reviews were given by people who didn't pay or got something for free for rating it 5 Star. read more

Best kebab I've ever had! I had the Dirty South, which is a Fried chicken kbab, very fulfilling! It did not disappoint. It is the most popular. The onions have a very strong taste to them, so if you don't like onions, like myself, I'd suggest to leave them out otherwise you'll be picking them out! Service is great as well. There's plenty of seating, inside and out. There's wifi as well! read more

After finishing work at 2130 and not having had dinner, I decided to drive down Smith St and see if anything caught my fancy.. Growing up listening to all things RnB, Hip hop and Rap, the bright lights of Biggie Smalls Kbabs had me mesmerized... As I walked towards the entrance their Hip-hop beats had me smiling and bopping as I skimmed the menu! Their kebabs have been cleverly named including the C.Wallace (Biggie's actual name is Christopher Wallace), West Coast, East Coast, Juicy (one of Biggie's singles) amongst other kebabs. Being so late I opted for a lighter option from their "Other Stuff" menu and had the Corn Row - BBQ & Puffed Corn, Spinach, Herbs, Smoked Almond and added "Shrimp"! The salad was tangy and delicious with the added flavour of the shrimp hitting the spot! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying a kbab or two! Next time I'll dine in and enjoy the ambience of their tunes and devour the food in one of their comfy looking booths. read more

I'm a fan of trying out new spots especially when there is the occasional deal out there. There was a recent voucher deal for biggie smalls which i jumped on and had a quick takeaway Kbab on the way to work. This one was the "west coast" and as a cali boy I couldn't resist the temptation. Man i was impressed. Delicious and abundant prawns which were breaded and still had a nice crisp to them even though they had been surrounded by the warm pita and wrapped which normally makes ANYTHING go soggy. The little wedge of cucumber gave it almost a Banh Mi feel to it, and the harissa mayo was so nice and flavourful without distracting from the prawns. Delicious and a nice addition to the "high end kebab market" from Jimmy Grants. Also great tunes with some old school hip hop/r&b/rap. Will happily be back. read more

Contemporary kebabs with the illest hip hop tracks from our main man Biggie to set the scene. Tastey, though my favourite is still traditional kebabs - I prefer shaved meat (as opposed to patty-style meat) and thinner, crunchier pita bread. read more

So glad Yelp helped me find this place. In the middle of a cool neighborhood. Milk shakes were creative and tasty. Kabab meat was of good quality and cooked to perfection. I don't even like crinkle cut fries, but at this place they are seasoned so well, I ate them all. Service was also friendly and fast. read more

Prior to my visit, I always thought this was yet another burger place. nope, it ain't It's kebabs. I am also a little perplexed as to the gumption, gall and audacity to name a venue after a famous hip-hop artist. Regardless, there's an option for everyone, the fried chicken is probably one of the most famous. It's the ability to choose from the menu's tradition breaking, non linear options that gets one excited. No longer the custodian and enforcer of grease trap, bog standard chicken or lamb only souvvo combinations, biggie serves up some great options. (Refer to menu.) As far as add on options go, the chips (zata'ar and something else combo,) and beers are excellent. well worth the anytime casual gourmand eating experience. Kbabs are very filling and tasty too! read more

Okay, it could have been any old Kebab shop, but the thing that made me think that it was owned by a turk was the Turkish Delight on display (which I did end up buying, though it isn't cheap $1.00 a block).

Disconsolate, I wandered further down Smith until I came to Efes Kebabs. And then, lo and behold, I was happy again! Not only do they serve pide, but they charge about $4 for one. As you'd expect, they seem to do the standard kebabs as well. And how was my pide, do you ask? It was good. It wasn't something you'd eat before a date, as it had enough garlic to depopulate Transylvania, but that's kinda what I want in my pide.

I threw them a dirty look and the guy serving me noticed, then explained "Don't worry, they are just saying how beautiful you are" - and all three burst out laughing. Now, it was 9pm and I'd spent the entire day and night studying, so I had no make up on and clearly looked awful. Charming. The souvlaki was really chewy and fatty, and the bread was stale.
