Stavros Souvlaki Bar — Restaurant in Melbourne

Disorganised. In a tiny space multiple things going on once. Is this a bakery? A cafe? An ice creamery? A Greek restaurant?

They are selling Greek meats and salads on the right, selling coffee and baked good on the left, ice cream at the front. If 3 customers walk in at once, you gotta squeeze past each other.

The staff were either confused, or snappy.

Came in at 11am, asked for a croissant. This place opens at 10am, but I was told that they supposedly had "sold out" their croissants. The croissant container looked very clean considering the supposedly busy 1 hour of them frantically selling croissants.

Decided to take a muffin and small coffee instead - they have a $6 special advertised for that at the entrance, but the person at the checkout didn't remember the special until I reminded him of it.

Sat down to await my order. After some time, the owner (?)/ cook/ chef walked in my direction with a tray, and I asked whether what he had on the tray was my order. He snapped back: "COMING!!". I wasn't in a rush to get it, I just asked because he walked towards me. They weren't busy at all at that point. I'd hate to imagine the levels of mayhem & snappiness in this tiny place when they are busy!!

Unfortunately my child wanted to try their ice cream too. A serving for a child costs $4.50. The same person at the checkout charged me $5.50. Does he genuinely not know any prices at his workplace, or was this his second attempt to overcharge a customer?

I let him have the $1. Was happy to finally walk out of there. Will walk straight past it...

Stavros Souvlaki are the best in Australia if not the world! The food is fresh and prepared by the owner , she has an amazing flair and puts so much love in every dish! There is a taste of Europe just as you enter the establishment, with its beautiful blues and culture around in every corner! There is an assortment of tastey dishes from the Morish Souvlaki to her home made casseroles and rice amongst other delicious dishes! and equally to her mouth watering home made cakes and cookies! I can not recommend this beautiful restaurant enough, it is across from the St Kilda beach, so not only are you basking in the sun, eating the most delicious food but you have paradise in front of you too!! The hosts are friendly, full of smiles and are full of...

I ordered souvlaki lamb, the meat tasted like it was sitting for 3 hours or more, the lettuce and tomato tasted bad, the pita bread was the wors I ever ate. I asked the guy who served me whats in the souvlaki, when eventually he said chips in it, I said OH no on the side, so I was served with chips in the souvlaki, the woman that brought it, I said I ordered chips on the side and take it back and put chips on the side, to which she actually said she can give me side chips (how much of a muppet do you have to be, like really), I said no I do not want chips in mu souvlaki which in 57 years of my life, was the worst...
