MEAT ME SOUVLAKERI — Restaurant in Melbourne

My comment is not about the food,it's about the treatment I endured last week. On Monday morning 26/2,I (a disability support worker) took a client to Meat Me,for lunch. We both ordered souvlaki's and a drink.When the order arrived,I took one bite and had a chunk of meat lodge in my throat.For the first few seconds I couldn't breathe,after that I was in terrible discomfort,which was evident to both patrons and staff. My client was oblivious to my situation but,all the staff were aware that I was in discomfort but,it was obvious that they wanted nothing to do with me.To be fair,the girl at the door,after a few times going outside to try to dislodge the meat,asked me if I was Ok,I told her I wasn't,but she failed to respond. On the other hand the two male staff members made it clear that they didn't want anything to do with me,for whatever reason. I would have thought that customer safety would have been the priority. I stayed,while my client ate his meal. I exited the premises,several times,trying to dislodge the obstruction. When we went to pay,all the person (who I think was the manager) told us,we couldn't split the bill. Needless to say,I will never return to this establishment and for what it's worth,acvtively tell others not to visit. The only reason there is a star is because without one I could not post...

A beautiful meal here and well worthwhile when in Oakleigh for Greek meat at its best.

This is a third time here and the other two times I forgot to review as, well I was hungry.

We had a group of 12 and chose the right place for this. Right in the heart of the Oakleigh dining area, Meat Me is the best at Greek style cooking of all meat being chicken, pork, and lamb. The atmosphere is lively and the place is humming with sites, people watching and the aroma of bbq and great Greek cuisine.

We were seated with a wonderful street view and served by Laura (I hope that’s right) and Manny. Both friendly, quick to serve and went out of their way to make our evening perfect.

We ordered the saganaki, grilled octopus, zucchini as entree. For mains we ordered two of the two person platters and one three person platter.

Not a fault for the lot from the size (proper Greek sizes so if you’re a big eater it’s perfect), drink accompaniments, the venue and service.

All up a great experience and most definitely a place to eat when in Oakleigh.

Big shout out to our hosts/servers in Manny and Laura who were great with the whole...

We had such a wonderful experience at this Greek eatery! From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed and genuinely looked after — such an essential part of dining out. Equally important, the food was absolutely outstanding.

The meat was exceptionally fresh, full of authentic and delicate flavors, and cooked to perfection — tender, lean, and without the fatty chunks you often find elsewhere. The tzatziki had a beautiful freshness with its creamy yogurt base and just the right touch of dill. Even the Greek salad, though simple, was bursting with flavor and balance.

We ordered the mixed grill plate with chicken and lamb — generous enough to share — and it was a delight. The chips were thick, crunchy, and full of real potato taste. Everything was so good that we couldn’t resist trying more, and the pork souvlaki was another perfect, tasty highlight.

We truly enjoyed every bite and every moment. The quality of both the food and service inspired us to leave this review as a thank you and recognition of excellence. We will most definitely be back!
