I say this because everything I had from their newly launched menu this week was fabulous, apart from this Big Souvlaki ($18+) that is. I’m a huge fan of souvlakis having had them so often in Melbourne, so I really thought this’d be a definite hit with the pulled lamb ribs, mixed salad, and jalapeño hummus. Well, aside from how this definitely looks like steak and not pulled lamb, which was the protein listed on the menu, as well as how we practically couldn't taste the jalapeño hummus, everything else was unfortunately rather mediocre. The meat was under-seasoned (we even got bits of cartilage in there despite the spot-on medium-rare cook), the dollop of plain yogurt on top failed to lift it up (nothing like the refreshing tzatziki we usually have), and it all just lacked the punchy flavours I expect of a souvlaki. The un-sliced surface of the pita bread was also very floury, in a raw dusted-with-flour kinda way, which was rather unpleasant. I’m guessing there were a couple of teething issues seeing how lunch service is new, and I’m very much able to forgive that considering how great the other dishes we had were. Fingers crossed this’ll taste better on our next visit 🤞
