The Grillfather

The kebab shop is decent for a quick meal. Food quality is average, with nothing too special. There are only a few seats available for dining in, but enough parking outside makes it convenient. Service is okay, and it’s a fair spot for a casual meal.

I would love to be giving 5 stars but the 1 star is for inconsistency over the last couple of years and finding a hair in my kebab. The sauces they use, specifically the grillfather sauce is actually really nice. The lamb is also generally pretty good and flavoursome The portion of the kebab is really good too, one of the reasons I like this place, they weren't impacted by shrinkflation. The salads are usually fairly fresh too, although there have been times where there was an odd smell but I overlooked it. The chips are nicely salted and crunchy, although the portions and price are not great. There's been times where they've forgotten sauces or extras in the kebabs I've ordered. Even 1 time when I ordered a sauce labelled as "dipping sauce" expecting it on the side, only to find it in the kebab. Fortunately, it was chilli sauce and turned out nicely. There's been times where the quality hasn't been so great or fresh. Normally I can overlook this if it happens a couple of times or far enough apart. It doesn't happen often enough for me to disregard the place entirely. Understandbly things can get busy, then rushed and lead to mistakes. I can eat the food if it's missing sauce or it even has the wrong sauce. As much as I hate it, at least it's bearable and edible. But what I can't do is eat it when I find a hair in there. Which has unfortunately happened to me tonight. I ordered the lamb kebab and small chips as I usually do. When it's a $20+ kebab, it's just wrong and you expect better. I normally order through food delivery as well, so the prices are inflated and this just makes it worse. I was going to eat the chips but, I didn't feel comfortable with the lack of food safety by this point. All these problems and now finding a hair, are just blatant incompetence. Unfortunately, this means I'll not be eating here again, which is a shame because they were 1 of the very few decent kebab places in this suburb and the surrounding suburbs. Fortunately, there are still other good options out there.

I’ve ordered the HSP a few times from here now. The meat is tasty, the chips are crunchy and well seasoned. Great food with a friendly smile.

It was very busy and very difficult to park. The chicken kebab was good, very well stuffed. The meat plate is good as well. I won't say it's the best, but better than many kebab shops and tastiest. It's a value for money shop.

My go to local kebab place with better prices than their local competitors. The kebabs are well constructed with a decent amount of filling. They focus more on the quality of the kebab rather than the quantity. Expect to spend around $13 for a kebab here. I’ve also tried the $16 HSP and was underwhelmed by the portion size. I think they definitely do their kebabs better.
