Quite rightly; he's spotted a gal that thinks meat, chips and slaw is an unmissable combo. Skewerd would fall into the category of awesome and fresh 'fast food', or super casual (but awesome) dining options. This Greek eatery is easily one of the best on Bay St for a quick meal or take out. I was going to ask for a Souvlaki...but priced at $9 I wondered if perhaps it might be too small for dinner. Not wanting to come back in the cold, I got the 'Yeeros Plate for One' ($17). Holy mother of meat. The photo doesn't do justice to the mountain of chicken, slaw, pita bread and chips I encountered. I over ate. I ate until I couldn't eat any more - then put the left overs in the fridge. My partner came home late and made not one but two souvlakis out of my left overs with some extra pita breads we just happened to have in the fridge. He said he wished he had only eaten one and saved the other for lunch. So the plate for one could effectively be a meal for 3 without a lot of effort! The food itself is very tasty. The cabbage salad wasn't great, but worked ok with the dish as a whole. They have beer and wine as a dine-in option, so the restaurant portion was packed full of families settling in for a meal. Meat + chips = crowd pleaser.

Finally got in on Saturday night, and had a great time ordering the banquet/feed me at $40 per person. It's a lot of food and really filling, but everything was really tasty, and the staff really friendly, and just an overall good vibe. It does seem like a slightly modernised take on Greek dining experience in terms of presentation and food combinations etc (for example, you can't just get an old school greek plate of rice, skewers, salad and some sides; but rather food comes out as kind of tasting/share plates similar to Chin Chin and Hawker Hall etc). Overall though it was really good. Not the type of thing I'd do all the time but I'd return.

It's quite casual, and lacks any sort of pomp, but it's the place to go if you're after simple, authentic Greek food. The Kalamaki (technically a souvlaki, but much better than what we're used to in Melbourne) are excellent - the pita is home-made and fluffy, meat is lean and perfectly cooked, and all the flavours work together really nicely without leaving you with deadly garlic breath. Pro tip: get the version that includes chips nestled inside; you won't regret it. The Saganaki isn't the pan-friend sheep's milk cheese you might be used to; it's baked feta cooked with slices of red onion and yellow peppers. It's just the right amount of creamy and salty, and it melts in the mouth. You need to try it, simple as that. The dips were really lovely, and another excuse to eat more of that delightful bread. The baked feta wrapped in pastry and drizzled with honey and black sesame was also delicious, although the sweetness of the honey might not be everyone's cup of Ouzo for a savoury dish. Service is friendly and relaxed, and prices reasonable. Will be back, probably for lunch tomorrow.

I'll start this review with the proverbial "Hella Good is hella good."…read more We came here to this area to do some shopping while we were in town, and this place grabbed my attention. The wait was definitely not for very long. We got a pager that buzzed pretty soon after we wandered off. For those who are/were unfamiliar as myself (being American on holiday), Hella Good is a place that serves Mediterranean-style wraps with pita bread filled with meat, veggies, and very delicious sauce. I got the Arnie, which includes the lamb leg meat. It was good. I don't know how it compares to other local offerings since this was one of a kind during our trip. FYI: - When you charge your card, it gives you a choice between charging in AUD or your home country's currency. Not sure if that makes a difference, but I think that's interesting. - It can get messy if you unwrap it a certain way, so have napkins and sanitizer available. - There are multiple locations.

Well, actually, no, namely because there is little difference between the two. However, the souvlakis are actually pretty awesome anyway. They also do chips, and while the herbs used in making the chips were pretty nice, I did find them a little soft. Still, the place isn't all that bad.

I always look forward to Friday night dinners and was especially looking forward to Hellenic…read moreRepublic since it had been raved about by a fellow yelper who goes here often as well as my client friend who had been here once and was ready to go back in a heartbeat. I booked for the 6.15pm seating on a Friday which is for two hours. Due to traffic, we got there at 7pm having informed the restaurant beforehand that we were running late. We were told that we would only have the table until 8.15pm and I jokingly said well that's fine as long as the food comes out quickly. It was quite busy and very very noisy and by 7pm, my friend and I were starving. We ignored the drinks menu and went straight for the food. My friend had had the Saganaki, Cauliflower Salad and the Lamb Shoulder before and wanted to have it again. The thick pita bread looked quite enticing but I decided I would save my appetite for the lamb and cheese as my friend had warned me that both dishes were quite heavy. Food arrived quite quickly. The saganaki covered in sweet glazed figs was quite bland and very stretchy. The cold figs were a stark comparison to the stretchy fried cheese that was just impossible to cut. I've had fried cheese in Eastern Europe and Saganaki at other Greek restaurants and this was no different or special. It lacked flavour. Was just fried cheese. Then, the cauliflower salad arrived. It was still quite raw and was surrounded by dollops of wasabi mayo. I could barely taste the wasabi. The fried onion/zucchini like veggie covered in sesame tasted nice but again it lacked salt. My friend kept saying that previously when she had this dish, the wasabi had her nose stinging but that this wasabi didn't even taste like wasabi. I couldn't taste anything either. So, now we had two really bland dishes. Hence, we had to do the most dreadest thing ever - request the salt and pepper shakers. So, we hailed a waitress and asked for some condiments. She crinkled her face and came back with wooden salt and pepper shakers. Both of us took turns at each of the shakers, twisting clockwise and then anti-clockwise, and nothing came out of both of them. Surely, we couldn't both be so hopeless with these shakers. I mean it wasn't rocket science. We even shook them, looked for a hidden opening and nothing. They were empty. We called another waitperson and told him about our predicament. He seemed confused and brought us little saucers of visible salt and pepper. Had the waitress played a prank on us? The salt and pepper made some difference, but yeah the food was still average. Then, the lamb shoulder arrived. Yes, it fell off the bone and was tender but despite the squeeze of lemon and the small garnishing of parsley chutney, it was bland. My friend again said that last time she had had this dish, it had a cinammony flavour. Something was seriously wrong. Why were all three dishes so average? We then asked for the bill. It arrived swiftly and we asked for split payment. 35 minutes passed. We asked to make a payment again. Another 20 minutes passed. Then we asked to pay again, we were told that we could stay in our seats for as long as we wanted as tables had been moved around for us. We said we wanted to pay for our bill. We waited and waited and asked 3 more people. An hour and 15 minutes later, we were able to make our payment. So much drama. Both of us felt full (portion sizes are quite good) but not satiated. What a disappointment for a Friday night! :(

Imagine my surprise, then, when I ordered a Coke Zero and was treated to what I can only describe as an avant-garde interpretation of hospitality. Picture this: a third of a can, gingerly decanted into a tall, skinny glass filled with ice, as though it were the house's finest vintage. My first sip was a tantalizing game of "how fast can you drink before it's all melted." But Meatball wasn't done with its performance art. When I requested a refill, I thought, surely this is all part of the experience--like a free-flowing river of cola joy. Alas, when the bill arrived, it turned out I'd been charged for two servings of this micro-pour. Somewhere in the Meatball backroom, an accountant was high-fiving the bartender for this ice-to-syrup ratio profitability hack. Don't get me wrong--the meatballs might be fantastic (wouldn't know; I was too busy budgeting for a third Coke Zero). But Meatball's commitment to elevating soda to artisanal status has left me both parched and oddly impressed. Next time, I'll BYOCZ.
