Reviews Skordo

Skordo served up some of the best souvas I have ever had. The bbq rib souva was delicious. Think tender smokey meat, tangy pickles and chips in a pillowy pita wrap 🤤. All 3 souvas were generously filled and throw in some haloumi fries and I was destined for food coma. The haloumi fries are crumbed in pork crackling, wtf yaas!

Staff were friendly and food was served pretty fast.

Even though the experience we had here wasn't perfect, I can't help but still give this place a 5 stars. Before we added this place to Zomato, you wouldn't have been able to find this on Google or elsewhere. The only way you'd know about this place was through the delivery services Deliveroo and Menulog. That's because this is one of these so-called 'dark kitchens', where food is produced solely for takeaway/delivery without a proper store front.

Nevertheless, I'm surprised no one else added this place to Zomato before us, given that we've seen this name on Deliveroo for at least a couple of months now. And upon trying this for the first time 2 nights ago, I must say the food was really hearty, filling and delicious.

We ordered a pork belly souvlaki, the Halal snack pack, and some Haloumi chips. The Halal snack pack was HUGE. Filled with chips, a surprisingly generous amount of meat (I ordered mixed meats), and sauces (chilli, BBQ and mayo). And it was only $12! I pretty much got 2 full meals out of it, and for that price the value was amazing. You'd think in comparison, the pork belly souvlaki at $13.90 wouldn't be worthwhile. But you'd be wrong. There were at least THREE whole strips of pork belly in that souvlaki, along with crumbs of crispy skin that actually crunched when you bit into it even though they weren't obvious from looking at the filling. And that crunch was apparent even after delivery. That was honestly better than many places with more crispy skin that isn't really crispy, and gets stuck between your teeth instead. Taste and everything else was great as well.

However, there were some issues. The Haloumi chips was pretty much a waste of stomach space. It was thick and didn't have much taste. But the bigger issue for me was that, considering this is a purely delivery based business, their menu is frustratingly inconsistent. The menu didn't specify that there were chips in the pork belly roll (unlike the other rolls), but it actually did contain chips. The photo of the Haloumi chips showed at least 6 chips, along with 2 sauces, but we only got 3 sticks and one sauce. You could choose the sauce on Deliveroo but not on Menulog. You could choose your meat for the Halal snack pack on Menulog but not on Deliveroo. You get the picture.

Nevertheless, because the food was that good and such good value for money, it's still worthy of a 5 stars from me. No doubt the lack of overhead costs associated with a store front translated well to good food at a great price.

Definitely give this place a shot.
