I cannot rave about Lamb on Chapel (LOC) enough.
It was initially recommended to me by a Greek girlfriend after I told her about a shabby experience at another local establishment; she's a real foodie (like all of my Greek friends!) She said 'once you've been to Lamb on Chapel, you'll NEVER eat lamb anywhere else.
She was right! Efkaristo, Panagiota Koukla! (Oh, how I wish I was Greek!)
I have been coming here for my weekly souvlakia 'fix' for years and it's always first-rate.
LOC has been in business for 24 years. The custom made lamb spit is a feature in the window and the aroma can be smelled in Chapel St.
Gregorios, the late father of owner Kon was a regular fixture of LOC until he passed away in early 2020 .
He was a cheeky, lovely octogenarian with a wonderful sense of humour and really made the place feel like home. He is sadly missed,
Owner Kon has a welcoming smile for everyone and is truly proud of his delicious, tender, juicy, beautifully cooked lamb. All of the food choices are great, but I only ever have the lamb.
Because it's the BEST in Melbourne!
This writer has a deep appreciation of Greek cuisine and everything on the menu is freshly prepared daily.
The salads are bright and crisp, the dips are tangy and fresh (try the roasted capsicum... nom nom nom!) And the tzatziki? Divine!
The pita bread is soft and moreish and the cakes are truly wonderful. The galaktoboureko (Greek custard cake) is To Die For, as is the baklava. Fresh, fresh, fresh!
And if you want traditional Greek coffee, this is the place.
As the time of writing, Covid19 means LOC is takeaway only, but please, support this lovely Chapel Street Institution.
It's a tiny, unassuming cafe about a block from Commercial Road, there's plenty of free parking on Chapel Street and it's open late (but call during CV19 for hours if you're unsure).
I love this place.
I love Kon, and all his staff and I really love the food.
Love the lamb souvlaki here. That pita is nice and soft . Food full of flavour.
Wow. Had always heard good things about Lamb on Chapel, and finally managed to drop by for lunch one Sunday. As soon as we walked in, our eyes went to the huge skewers of meat cooking over coals.
We ordered the lamb special and chicken special (making one a meal deal to get chips and a drink to share as well). Service was fast and attentive; the gentleman behind the counter was so kind.
Just as we’d heard, the souvlaki was amazing. Even the pita bread was well-toasted and tasty. It was packed full to the brim with delicious, flavourful, perfectly cooked coal-charred meat, fresh vegetables and sauce which brought everything together... my partner and I almost had to roll out of the restaurant.
Can definitely see myself craving this in the future, and coming back regularly!
Enjoyed a lamb souvlaki a few nights ago after a drink.
The lamb was tender and cooked perfectly.
Would love to try their other souvlaki’s.
Passing Chapel Street and craving a souvlaki, I recommend passing by!
Probably some of the best quality kebab/souvlaki meat I’ve ever had. Tried the lamb original and the loc special and both were unbelievable.
How have I gone this long without trying souvlaki? I had only heard good things about LOC and after needing a late might snack today was the day. It is by far one of the best souvalakis I have tried the meat being so fresh an absolute highlight. Also served with great chips and fast and efficent service
One of my favourite places to grab a souvlaki! It's usually open quite late which is great especially after a night of drinking in Chapel Street. Not much room to sit but not too expensive and the staff are quite friendly too.
The food is super tasty and definitely worth the money.
Rating should be a 4.0 at least. Lamb on Chapel still serves delicious souvas cooked over coal. There’s only a couple of places left in Melbourne cooking souvlakis over coal. Oh that delicious smoky meaty goodness. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years - popped in today and loved it. Keep it up guys!
This place has been going on for many many years. I haven't been here for many years and paid a visit recently and again was not disappointed.
Purchased the Lamb soulvalaki and was not disappointed. Beautiful after a big night out drinking. I recommend those who hangout in the Chapel st area to visit this place
OK after driving all over Melbourne to find a feed one of chapel streets best fast food outlets. Souvlaki OMG made faster than you pay. Fresh gyros viewed as its turning produce fresh service excellent and family friendly. If your down chapel this is the place to be. Thanks guys gr8 experience.
Tried the original souvlaki and lots of meat nice and juicy, the sauce and pita bread are also excellent. The bloke serving me was a friendly fella and was honest. The chips are also decent. Next time I’m in prahran I will come back for sure
I came and ordered a lamb kebab. It was Friday night/Saturday early morning and so it was very busy. However it didn’t take long to order, and then get my food. The staff were very friendly, and frequently checked in with me to let me know how long it would take, etc. The only down side I would say is that the kebab didn’t have a whole heap of flavour. However on the whole, the food was pretty good, the meat was tender and juicy.
The HSP was so good! Had the chicken and lamb one but the lamb honestly stole the show - it was soft and broke apart so easily. The sauce also made the dish very delicious.
The owner looked angry when I asked if they do falafels. Lucky I am not vegetarian ha ha.. The Lamb Souvalaki was tasty and generous. The wrap needs to be bigger to hold the filling. I had to open the kebab to be able to eat it.
The lamb here is cooked over charcoal and has an amazing taste. The large open platter is a great feed for 2. The chips here are so good too! Been coming here for years and there have been times that the lamb is hit and miss but today's was exceptionally good.
The holy temple of souvlaki shops, not just in Melbourne but worldwide. I've travelled and eaten countless souvlakia throughout my lifetime. This by far holds down the most consistent quality time and time again. LOC has been feeding me for 20 years now. Not just a late night drunken meal. Can be enjoyed anytime !
The Lamb Original Souvlaki is perfectly crafted. Lamb cooked over the spit on charcoal, the tzatziki with a perfect consistency that allows every bite to be a perfect combination of all the ingredients, all wrapped in arguably the best pita bread to ever be used in a wrap, Sea Star pita.
Shout out to the boys putting their blood sweat and tears into the food, your hard work doesnt go unnoticed
