Harvey Souvlaki Combo (Marinated Lamb & Chicken in Pita & Chips)! This meal was absolutely INCREDIBLE (the salt on the chips was heavenly and such a generous serve of that delicious marinated meat)
It’s been quite a few weeks since we’ve had any delicious food like this! We’ve been hibernating at home and cooking for ourselves waiting for the day we can visit our beautiful Melbourne restaurants again. BUT it’s time to accept the “new normal” and we started in the best way possible - GREEK FOOD!!!
Even though this will never replace my love of dining out at restaurants, there was something special about plating up at home and enjoying some delicious food from our house (my home cooked meals aren’t quite at this same level haha)!
We’re really very lucky to be in a position where we can still get delicious food in these difficult times, which is certainly not a given around the world at the moment! Perspective is a wonderful thing and I can’t wait to support more of my amazing local restaurants in the weeks to come!
As a lover of sister restaurant stalactites, it was about time to check out Hella Good! Arrived with souvlaki in mind but after seeing the HSP on the menu o couldn’t pass it up.
Price point is mid but the serving was large with a generous amount of meat. I was also surprised to find some pita at the bottom! Could have done with a little more sauce, and I added the chili sauce from my own stash.
Will definitely be back to try the classic souvlaki!

This place is hella good. What I love:
1. Located smack in front of flinders street station, which makes it a convenient meal option
2. Very small but cute shopfront. Looks cleaner compared to neighbouring stores
3. Chicken souvlaki ($13) was not the cheapest lunch option, but very filling. Unlike some places, the chicken meat was tender, making this a very enjoyable meal. They were also very generous with meat yay! It was a bit cold when I ate it despite only walking 10 mins. I recommend for you to eat there
4. They have a stamp card. Order 5 and you get free fries. Order 10 and you get a free souv
5. Girl manning the counter is very mechanical and efficient haha. she’s so quick and no different from a mcd automated counter
Objectively speaking, I’ve had better souvs where the souvlaki meat is packed with greater herby flavour and the fries are crunchier. Having said that, hella good is definitely ideal for a quick Greek meal in cbd!
Actually comparable to their sister restaurant, Stalactites. Once I found out that Hella Good is a sister branch, I held the Stalactites standard and truth be told, it is reasonable just as good.
The pita is cut into smaller pieces which I definitely appreciate, the dips are significantly more than usual, the chicken is grilled and cut well. If someone gave me Hella Good’s food and put it at Stalactite’s extra $10, I would’ve been completely fooled.
Overall, I think that Hella Good is just as amazing as Stalactites and the fact that they have a discount on Deliveroo makes it all the more better!
I tried the pita and tzatiziki and the dip was so punchy !! There were so much garlic flavour and everything was just really well balanced. The pita was super soft too 👌🏼 enjoyed every bite
Got the vegan souvlaki, greek salad and hot chips. Really good vegan souvlaki with hummus. The greek salad was okay nothing special. The hot chips were crispy and had nice seasoning.
$$ - ordered Hella Good Combo (lamb souvlaki)
Love!! The fries were amazing, with a hint of lime. The souvlaki was decent, although I would have enjoyed it a lot more if they added a little more tzatziki sauce, and mixed the vegetables with the meat instead of them being divided into two... wasn’t really a fan of biting into *just* lettuce. Needs some better seating too but other than that, I would go again!
Hella Gluten Free YUM!!!
If you want to feel like a normal pedestrian once more, don’t forget to stop by this outlet! I never thought I would be able to get regular street food again, let alone a SOUVLAKI!! With delish GF Pita, aye!
Don’t be fooled by its typical trendy gluten-zone storefront, Hella Good is Coeliac Association Accredited meaning that us little coeliacs can dine with peace of mind (something that we all know is practically a priceless experience). They don’t put up any signs about their accreditation either, but I was informed of this gem via Coeliac Australia and if you ask the friendly man behind the counter, he’ll tell you all about it!
Gonna be eating a lot more gf souvs in the days to come~
Recently, I shared my experience at Stalactites which has been newly accredited. In that article, I mentioned that the same family owns another business. Another business that was also accredited. Hella Good is a takeaway souvlaki shop situated right near Flinders street station. Which is just perfect for grabbing on the way to work or university. Actually, I really wish they were there when I was in uni. Their address is 7 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne which is also right outside the route 57, 59 and 19 tram stop.
Tried this once when visiting Melbourne for a business. I ordered Plato, and it was so delicious. Recommended eats and it's no expensive. See my star to know how was its taste
A great place to visit in Chadstone shopping centre if you're craving souvlaki! The staff are polite and helpful and the premises neat, clean and tidy.
The meat is cooked over charcoals and super tender but lacks the flavour I seek in gyro meat. That said, it was still very nice, and the chips were to die for and very reasonably priced. The chips have a lemon pepper seasoning on them that make them so morish. I wish the meat had as much flavour! I lovely lunch, and I'll definitely be back for the chips!
Tried the HSP mixed pack, was quite good. Enjoyed the crispy chips which had a lovely slight vinegary flavour to them. The lamb was alright but chicken was quite nice, tender & juicy. The pita bread was also soft and fluffy
Finally a decent souvlaki at Chaddy. Loads of chicken and salad, loved it!!
Fast and delicious, with proper gyro roast. Delicious fries seasoning. The HSP size is decent. It's also open until late, which is a plus.
Great quality lamb, nice crispy hot chips, good portion. Simple food made well.
No photo, ate too quickly, too good
Will be coming back here 👍🏻
Got a large serving of lamb/meat in a container, a lamb souvlaki with extra meat, a couple of drinks & a large serving of tzatziki.. everything was delicious! I have no complaints. Please bear in mind that there is only seating outside & it is minimal. Staff were quite friendly. I will definitely be back again soon if I am nearby. Everything was reasonably priced with respect to food quality & freshness.. at this point I would recommend this place to people!
This is the first Certified GF establishment I’ve eaten at and I found it by happenchance. The pure joy as a Coeliac knowing that everything I ordered was GF created an energy I’ve never experienced. Which I had again moments later while eating the most amazing souvlaki and hot chips! Granted my lack of souvlaki experience (first I’ve eaten since moving to Victoria), the serious respect of ingredients is felt from opening up its bag. This is a must for everyone to experience. Thank you so much!
