Hella Good | Fitzroy

Overview

From the owners of Melbourne's most beloved Greek restaurant, Stalactites, Hella Good is the takeaway souvlaki joint of your dreams. With three locations across Melbourne that are always busy, we can only hope they keep expanding — as it really is hella good.

The menu is as long as your arm, so we can't go through it all, but the reason you've clicked on this is because of souvlaki, so let's start there. Rolled in warm pita bread and stuffed full of lettuce, onion, tomato and homemade tzatziki sauce, the souvlakis make the perfect lunch or dinner.

Options include the Kotter with marinated boneless chicken, fresh from the spit; the Terry with a veggie and feta fritter, tomato, onion and cucumber; the Harvey with boneless chicken and marinated lamb (our pick); the Arnie, with just lamb; and finally its vegan option with a veggie fritter and homemade hummus. They're all amazing and if you're not vegetarian you will still love the veggie options.

Elsewhere on the menu are mains, including snack packs with chicken and lamb gyros, hope chips and pita bread, as well as naked souvlakis with both meats, topped with lettuce, carrot, cucumber, tomato, onion, feta, olives and homemade tzatziki. Hungry yet?

Snacks and sides include spanakopitas with baked spinach, feta and herbs in a crispy pastry, and the fritters or hot chips on their own. If you're after something sweet to cap off your Greek odyssey, try the baklava finger pack with walnuts and honey or the rice pudding which is dusted off with cinnamon.

Hella Good also offers a catering service, slinging truckloads of souvlakis at offices and parties across the city.
