Anyway, that is the main reason I end up coming to this place, and that is the HSP. It certainly looks incredibly unhealthy, and sometimes the unhealthier some is, the better it is, and you certainly cannot beat Kallal's HSP. Okay, I'm not so game that I will actually go for the large one, but it is still something that I really find hard to resist the pull of at times.

This has to be one of the best kebab places around in the area. Pssst....if you become a regular you may even be offered a Turkish coffee (not on the menu).

Setting it apart from many other kebab places, the owner is chipper, they accept credit cards, and you can have a seat at an actual table while you get your money's worth. The bread, the meat, the fresh ingredients, and the sauce all come together perfectly and will have you ferreting for the very last piece of chilli-covered meat wedged in the bottom crease of your wrapper.

It opens until 5:00am and attracts passers by who are coming back from their night on the town. The food options are pita wraps with meat thrown in doner/shawarma style. They will top that for you with salad and 2 sauce dressings of your choice for $9.50 AUD. Portions are generous, service is friendly and helpful. It's a take away only counter, Turkish owned, pretty authentic on the flavour part -- the wrap is delicious and spot on! If you pass by and need to pick up something quick to eat, skip the pizza and grab a wrap there instead. I really enjoyed a mixed meats wrap with salad, topped with garlic and spicy chili sauce.

Checked up the location and it was only 5 blocks away from where i was staying in Melbourne so it was a definite sign that i needed to go here :D!! Found out it's Shane Delia's invention, he's a perfectionist when it comes to food, have heard plenty great things about his Restaurant Maha & have some friends who have gotten a call from him asking how the service and food was :D. Went there on a friday night, was pleasant busy but that's Melbourne for you, never really crazy busy like Sydney which you get bored off now and then :D!! My cousin ordered the Juicy which was Beef kebab & a Brooklyn lager :),  i went for the Dirty South which was fried Chicken kebab & got the Brooklyn shake :D.. bourbon, cherry, white chocolate!! Both Kebabs had the perfect insides with the meat check out the menu for details & they were wrapped in fluffy pita bread it was LOVE at first bite and then heart break at last bite but my hunger was satisfied :D!! Brooklyn lager was definitely a different tasting beer and as for the Brooklyn shake i ordered another one ;D!! I could sit down for hours, eating & drinking :)... just being mellow with the Biggie vibes :D!! Can't wait to come back.. cousin stayed in Melbourne, so got to listen to him each week about what I'm missing out on lol!!

I remember being apprehensive at first. The shop does not look the most welcoming of environments. But after tasting their kebabs I was convinced. This is just down the road from Yah Yahs and the busy part of Smith Street. That makes it the perfect spot to go to after getting a little bit peckish/drunk on a night out. A word of warning: as with most places like this, I'd stick to the kebabs. This is their specialty and this is what they do best. I always stick to a kebab and they are pretty cheap too.

Despite the large Turkish population, Melbourne's not really a place you can find a lot of pide…read more (Bendigo, on the other hand...) So, I was sad the other day when I went out to Smith St and found my favourite pide seller had upped and left me. (Contextual note here: pide is a dish where it's a flat loaf of Turkish bread with a filling inside. I generally go either the sausage, or the sausage and egg.) 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.

There seem to be no beef option in Melbourne but it still taste awesome. I had mixed lamb and chicken with tabouli and bbq & hot chilli sauce. The best thing and the difference about kebabs in Melb and Sydney is that it is toasted! I was so excited when they toasted the kebab! Just the way I like it. Nice and crispy on the outside. It's a small place with a couple of seatings. I'm sure they open quite late. They also have a range of other things like chips and some other hot food but kebabs is the way to go!

Where to start? Oh, I know - the harassment! There were three men behind the counter. One was serving me, the other two just standing there staring right at me and whispering under their breath. 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. I also grabbed a can of coke, and by some miracle of maths the lot came to over $16. Seriously, take a few quick steps across the street and go to the Kebab Factory - the food is always amazing and fresh, and they treat you like a human being!

I think that the relaxed atmosphere and that it is quiet on Saturday is one of the reasons why my mother-in-law likes it. The menu is not extensive but covers all the main Turkish dishes and even had something for my fussy brother-in-law - the hamburger and chips. That satisfied him. The Turkish bread comes out of the oven, is cut up and brought straight to the table - we kept on going back for another basket of it. Apart from my brother-in-law who just ate the plain bread (it is tasty enough). The rest of us enjoyed the Turkish bread with the two large humus and carrot dips. My mother-in-law likes the chicken kebab but I prefer the doner kebab covered in yogurt and a tomato sauce. All of the dishes come with salad and rice with pine nuts except for the hamburger and chips - I can't imagine my brother-in-law eating salad. And the cost of the meal and keeping the in-laws happy was very reasonable.

I find my versions of everything to be much more interesting, and generally, Turkish restaurants are lazy. A bit of yoghurt, a bit of garlic and throw in a random vegetable - voila! A Turkish dip. Zzzzzzzzzzz So my hopes weren't very high. I have learnt to keep my expectations pared down. Well, I can reveal that this is the best Turkish restaurant I have ever been to. We walked in at about 12:30 on a Saturday and there was no one in there. The baker was there and he gave us a table and told us someone would be out shortly after giving us some menus and telling us he was still baking. We ordered some Turkish beer (clean, crisp, fresh), a couple of dips and a couple of mains and a potato salad. It was all to die for! The capsicum dip is the nicest dip I have eaten in my life. I don't know what was in it apart from the roasted capsicum, but I wanted to lick the plate. The beetroot dip was a very good version. The very lovely lady who appeared to be the owner and our waitress was just sublime and she threw in a smoky eggplant dip for free. This too was divine, as was the potato salad. The mains we got were the Turkish pizza and an iskender. The Turkish pizza was paper thin and beautifully crisp - beautifully flavoured. The iskender was an excellent version - the bread was beautiful. I have to say, this place is more expensive than your average crap Turkish place on Sydney Road, and the serves are smaller, but it is fantastic. I would highly recommend it. (when we paid, the lady gave us a piece each of her home made Turkish delight - OMG!!!)
