So it's 9.30pm. I've just woken up from a three hour nap despite my protests that I wasn't feeling the effects of jetlag since leaving Edinburgh. And I was STARVING.
Cue me checking out deliveroo and ubereats for something delicious that could arrive quickly. I stumbled across Triakosia and given the proximity, just decided to head on over before closing time.
Now it's located on the main Street area of Clifton Hill (25 years in Melbourne and I just learnt this suburb existed). Given the late hour the place was totally empty, nonetheless I was greeted with a smile and an open kitchen.
I ordered the Penelope- a lamb souvlaki with potato. After a short wait I was given my dinner and headed back to mine.
Now this is a kebab made with love. It's smaller than your usual kebab but the pita bread was so soft and warm, the lamb cooked perfectly, the tatziki was so creamy and garlicky and I could taste hints of lemon as I ate. Added to that was some tomato and onion. I do think the lamb could have done with a bit more salt and overall more onion (that's just my preference) but given the late hour, I was so impressed at the way this kebab was lovingly made.
Also, the interior is decorated really nicely with a super chill atmosphere. Highly recommended! read more
