Highett Charcoal Chicken

We ordered quite a few meals last night and the service and quality was brilliant.
Such a friendly business.
Thanks from Bayside C. C

Best charcoal chicken around. Always juicy and tasty. Excellent gluten free options as well.

Travelled here to try your charcoal chicken only to find out "shut on the weekends"
Very disappointed.

My family ate here 2 days in a row this weekend. The souvlakis were bomb! Bread / meat / salad was all perfection - chips were horrific both days, zero salt or flavour and way overcooked making them rock solid. I loveeeee hot chips so wouldn't come back here even though the rest was actually fantastic.

I was going to have KFC. I’ve eaten here before and it’s usually excellent but not today. Did someone say KFC.

Honestly the best Souvlaki in Melbourne, I felt like i was in Greece eating.the meat is premium quality, and as for the chicken, WOW, I just wish I had more stuffing, The Family love it.

Highett Charcoal Chicken is a must-visit spot for anyone craving delicious rotisserie chicken. The seasoning and cooking of the chickens is perfect, resulting in juicy and flavorful meat that you won't be able to resist.

In addition to their famous rotisserie chicken, the seafood salad is a crowd favorite. Freshly made with high-quality ingredients, it's the perfect side dish to accompany your meal.

And let's not forget about the hot chips, Gyro Souvlakis, and HSPs (Halal Snack Packs) - all of which are incredibly popular with the locals. The crispy hot chips are the perfect complement to the juicy chicken, and the souvlakis and HSPs are a meal in themselves.

What really sets Highett Charcoal Chicken apart is the love and care that goes into every dish. The owner puts his heart and soul into the food, and it shows in the quality and flavor of each and every item on the menu.

Overall, if you're looking for delicious, high-quality food at affordable prices, Highett Charcoal Chicken is the perfect choice. Whether you're dining in or taking out, you won't be disappointed.

The best local chicken shop! The charcoal chickens are delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. A great option when catering a party or for home.

To be completely fair, the food is good quality and a fair size, however the what I think is more than 20% price increase since my last visit means I'll be finding somewhere else more reasonable, but if you don't mind paying top dollar and waiting a while then you'll be in for a good meal.

My colleague is obsessed with the gym pack. Orders it everyday and has got the rest of the office on it now. Best quality chicken cooked to perfection!

Hands down the best mixed kebab meat I've had.anywhere! Perfectly cooked, super juicy meat sliced thick. In a world of heaven right now, thankyou!

Massive shout out to Highett Charcoal Chicken. Delicious food, friendly and coeliac knowledgeable staff. I highly recommended stopping in here if you are in the area!

Edited to add:
OMG, this place never disappoints. So much so that we often drive an hour to get here as the food is amazing and staff are lovely.

Absolutely sh*t service.
Tried to order Uber eats at 7 - they had stopped taking orders.
Came down at 730, and they were shutting despite them shutting at 8.
Said they had no chicken left but the guy was cutting up to half chickens at the time he told me - for himself, no one else ordered
I complained, he said “it’s strange times mate”
Disgraceful service

This has got to be my favourite charcoal chicken shop around town. Nick who runs it and all the staff are so welcoming, hard working and just all around great value. If you’re coming through highett I highly recommend the Souvlakis or Gyros burgers. Thanks for always supplying the best guys. 5 stars.

My elderly mother & my daughter came in twice after ordering from 2 different sites & being told they turned one of them off.
The second time a lady said I had cancelled the order (which I hadn’t, it said they couldn’t complete the order), then the “MANAGER” spoke to my Mother & Daughter really rudely & said he was cancelling the order as they didn’t have a certain salad, to which my Mum explained it was fine to change to whatever they had available.
I called once they came & told me what happened the Manager then proceeded to lecture me on using an app (I have PTSD & find it hard to leave home). I then asked why he was so rude to my elderly Mother & 8 year old Daughter just to have him yell at me about supporting local businesses (which I am obviously still doing & getting someone to pick it up). I have NEVER been spoken to with such utter disrespect & to be hung up on.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour from a “Manager”.

The chicken is always tender and delicious, the roast vegetables are cooked to perfection and the gravy is the perfect accompaniment to both. Excellent!

Came for a filling meal and it was absolutely amazing, generous, affordable and tasty couldn’t recommend more

Gluten Free
Gluten free HSP, gluten free charcoal chicken, gluten free chips, I’m in Heaven?
A friendly small business with many gluten free options. The best!

Nick and staff are in a league of their own, had the best mixed souvlaki. Family pack was amazing, peas perfect al dente, great gravy, the charcoalicious aromatic chicken, clean oil for chips on point, and the Greek salad fresh and crisp, the vinaigrette delicious.
Special mention to Alex and Jayden.
Nick was in Hawaii today so they took the reigns. Been in the industry of culinary magic over 35 years, Nick and the team are leading by example, culinary regards.kaibil.

Recommend by a friend to come try the souvlaki here today. Well worth the try. I had the chicken souvlaki and beetroot salad and chips which was absolutely yummy. I would definitely recommend this place.
