We had dinner at Meat Me Souvlakeri during our recent trip to the land down under and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The vibe is lively and warm -- exactly what you'd expect from an authentic Greek spot in Oakleigh's Eaton Mall. There's a great buzz with plenty of chatter and energy, making it perfect for a casual dinner with friends or family. Whether you're seated indoors or outside, the atmosphere feels welcoming, relaxed, and social -- the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable. Service was friendly and generally prompt, even on a busy night. Our food came out quickly, and the staff were attentive throughout the meal. While we've heard it can slow down during peak times, that wasn't our experience at all -- we felt well looked after. The food was the real standout. Greek classics like the gyro and souvlaki were packed with flavor, served in generous portions, and paired with super fresh pita bread. The mixed grill and meat skewers were juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The dips, especially the tzatziki, added a perfect creamy balance. Portions are hearty and satisfying -- come hungry. While not every dish was flawless, the overall quality and flavor easily made up for it. All in all, it's a fantastic spot for casual Greek food with solid service and a vibrant atmosphere. We'd absolutely return to try more from the menu. read more

Overall this place is quite consistent in terms of quality and flavour. I wouldn't say it's the best but is good! I tend to stick to the gyros plates as the bread is a bit too much but on the odd occasion after a "few" drinks nothing beats it. Wholesome hearty goodness !!!! read more

Let's just say you should wear stretchy pants lol....very filling! Great atmosphere and awesome food, but beware gets very busy, especially weekends, so book ahead! read more

The most popular in the shops in Eaton Mall, for a reason it's quick and good. We don't vary our choices but we enjoy standard food from the menu. Great bread, good meats, good salads. Close to the train station so easy to meet up with people after work. Good chocolate milk shakes too. read more

I learned something today, I learned that my version of a gyros is actually very Aussie and that the more traditional version of a Greek gyros is very foreign to me (has fries in it!!) On a sunny, breezy day, sitting out on the street under the umbrellas is a nice treat! Just be warned, even though people can no longer smoke here, some still sneak it in which drove me a little crazy. Service was slow and I wasn't impressed that 5 of us were seated at a table for 4 and were reprimanded when we asked if we could move. There were a number of larger free tables available when we sat down. Food is good, the gyros is delicious, I went with the Greek version and quickly learned when our food arrived that I should have ordered the Aussie version. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Melbourne! read more

Enjoyed our food selections but here's why Meat Me got a 3 star from me: service could have been better. There were 5 of us in our group. Unfortunately, our wait person forgot to place the order of one of our friends. We had to reach out to another wait person since no one checked on us after we got our meals. He finally showed up half way through our meal to apologize for missing one order and offered to bring it to her in 10 minutes, on the house. Ok- no big deal but in my opinion, they should have offered more. We now had to wait for her to finish her lunch. Basically, she did not get to enjoy her kebobs together with the rest of us. We reached out to a wait person (again) and requested that they compensate us a desert while we waited for our friend to finish her lunch. After going back and forth several times, he agreed to serve us complimentary coffee. Seriously? This should have been offered to begin with! It should have come from the Manager versus having to get the request from us. It would have been the right thing to do. At any rate, the kebobs, Greek salad and souvlakis were delicious whereas service was seriously lacking. read more

Great food, good atmosphere. Love the Pita and they have good saganaki here too! One of my favourite places in Oakleigh

On a chilly Melbourne Sunday, we decided to head to Oakleigh to try a new place. After making a round and weighing our options, we stumbled at Meat Me. Meat Me seems to have two stores right opposite each other and one is the Souvlaki section and the other a restaurant. We ventured into the Souvlaki one and took a spot in the busy room as the outdoor area seemed to be completely full. The menu was varied and we settled on the Mix Grill $45 for two. We should have invited extra people with us as we had so much left over. The Mix Grill platter had pita bread, dip, lamb, chicken, beef patty, skewers and scrumptious CHIPS! For the price and service I thought $45 was reasonable and would go back for a Souvlaki especially as the kitchen closed around 10pm which is very handy. read more

Very very tasty food! Meat is so soft it melts in your mouth and has a grilled yummy flavor to it,very tasty bread and dips,grilled octopus was amazing as well! I have never been to Greece but i think thats what authentic greek food tasres like! Service wasnt too great at the beginning of a night,waiter would take our meals out and just put it on a table without telling what they are or asking who is having it,so i made a note to the waiter and since then he would tell us what each dish was,very happy with improvement! Im recommending MeatMe to all my friends and will definitely be back myself! read more

I've been there a couple of times but the workers are always rude as I'm not Greek. They look at us from the toe to the head and they take us inside at the back as we are not Greek. This is a Greek only place. read more

Went here for a birthday celebration but ended up finding the food to be mediocre. Service was slow, with clearly too few staff on the floor to accomodate for the space. One dish, the mini souvas, came out cold and the souvlaki we ordered came with a revolting and overpowering amount of mustard at only one end seemingly added as an afterthought. When we went to settle the bill, we mentioned the cold food and were met with a very rude response. Although we received a $10 discount, the disgruntled server who gave it to us was so rude that both myself and my daughter felt incredibly uncomfortable when trying to settle the bill. It altogether made for a very sour end to an evening that was meant to be a celebration. read more

Food is perfect every single time we visit ! Best souvlaki in Melbourne ..... Service can be slow if it's super busy ..... But we think it's worth the wait ! We travel 15 mins by car to get here, rather than going to our local souvlaki Shop. A+++ read more

Three walk-ins looking for dinner on a busy Friday night, we were led from the restaurant side to the souvalaki side across the outdoor area. Fair enough they were busy. However I'd say we were given the table they didn't want to risk on 'royals' - right beside loud, obnoxious, swearing, liquor laden malakas. They were loud and boisterous, the music was screechy bouzouki (which I usually love because of its energy and fun) and the tables were so close that it seemed they were on top of us. We couldn't hear ourselves talk across the table. Disappointing! Foodwise, the meat was dry but palatable only for the dip, which was mediocre. You did get a good serving but for what if it isn't enjoyable. I passed half of mine to my husband who eats everything and even he didn't want it. Hmmm... next time I'm going to 5Five nextdoor. read more

This used to be a good restaurant but now it's over priced, unless you order the $50 platter you will be left hungry. Be prepared to wait over an hour to be served. You'd getter more authentic dips from the supermarket. Save your money and go to your local Greek take away!! Embarrassing .. We took our friends there and twice had to apologise for a poor eating experience!! read more
