Fantastic Kebab and Pizza — Restaurant in Melbourne

Two of my compatriots and I were swinging spanners on my car late one Tuesday evening, when somebody exclaimed "Boy, I'm really hungry. Can you arrange some high quality sustenance!". In one quick motion I reached for my phone and opened Menulog to begin my search for some late evening nourishment. With a name like "Fantastic Kebab and Pizza" surely I could do no wrong; or so I thought. I ordered three kebabs, one with cheese, an extra large chips and four dim sims.

I was a bit shocked to discover it would be another whole hour before our meat morsels would arrive. Surely it would not take that long to put together our order and get a driver to deliver it to us, After all it was a Tuesday not a Friday or Saturday. One must be positive in situations such as this though, and I resigned myself to the fact that the doner must be top shelf for this place to have such a long wait on a Tuesday.

After another hour of twiddling nuts on my car a lovely chap approached holding our bag of assumed deliciousness. We finished off what we were doing and headed inside to give this meal the respect we honestly thought it deserved. One simply does not wait one hour for a kebab to eat it in the coldness of a garage/shanty workshop. No that absolutely would not do. Such food requires the use of a dining table.

Once we were all seated it was time to rip open the foil and dive head first into flavour country. First impressions, not good. We ordered Turkish bread but the kebabs came in pita form. Not the end of the world. I was very accepting at this point but then the doner hit... I could taste the meat glue. Worryingly I stared up at my friends from behind my foil shield and my assumptions were confirmed by the look of dis-satisfaction from the kebab aficionados. Needless to say we needed the subsistence so we powered though but it certainly was a mission to finish the kebab. The salads were warm and the meat was cold, the absolute worst combination when it comes to kebabs.

The chips however were the highlight. Not overly salted but enough to get your tongue sparkling. Perfectly cooked. The best chips I have had from a pizza joint. The dim sims were also acceptable and only tasted about three hours old, which lets be honest is the best you can expect from any dim sim re-seller since the place on the Flinders street platform closed down.

I might be back, I might not. We do not have much choice when it comes to kebab joints out on this side of town. What I can say, as I sit here recovering from the meat glue hangover is that I certainly wont rush to be back.

To those reading, I thank you and may your search for delicious kebabs be more fruitful than my...

Staff is bad, I've seen what seems to be the owner a couple times, very stand offish, the place is very dirty, I ordered hsps a couple times and each time you don't know what to expect, it used to be good but has gone down hill, they started putting onions in the hsp ( who the hell does that ) on the sides and then the fries would be undercooked, or food would be cold, but yesterday was the worst by far, I opened it and in the box was bread just tossed in the middle of the hsp and it looked like a little bit had been bitten out of the bread, I don't know maybe it could have broken off in the box but who puts bread in an hsp anyways, then the meat was so dry and the chips were overcooked, it was just a complete mess, even found a price of stray onion in it, I tossed it, there's wot a kebab down the road, just go there, avoid this place, although it used to be good, it's definately not the same in the slightest, and if there is something wrong with your order and you can rest assured they will do nothing at all to help you out, give your buissness and hard earned money to a place that will get you food that isn't undercooked, stale, cold or raw, or will fix it otherwise. I was going to go in but after reading the reviews, and knowing they will do nothing I've decided just advice everyone from going there after such bad...

My wife left me. And here’s why:

I recently visited Fantastic Kebab and Pizza, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Firstly, the price I paid for the amount of meat I received was exorbitant. For $20, I expected a generous portion, but what I got was disappointingly small. It felt like I was paying for gold-plated meat rather than quality sustenance.

Moreover, the quality of the food itself was mediocre at best. The meat lacked flavor and tenderness, leaving me wondering if it had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours before being served. The vegetables were limp and unappetizing, and the sauces did little to elevate the overall taste. It felt like a missed opportunity to create a delicious and satisfying meal.

The ambiance of the establishment was also lacking. The atmosphere was dull and uninspired, with no effort made to create a welcoming or enjoyable dining experience. The decor was outdated, and the seating arrangements were uncomfortable.

Overall, I cannot recommend fantastic kebab and pizza to anyone looking for a satisfying meal at a reasonable price. The combination of small portions, lackluster food quality, and unappealing ambiance make it a regrettable dining choice. Save your money and seek out a better kebab...
