Lambs Northcote reviews
37First time trying Lambs Northcote, and while the food was pretty good the service and atmosphere was average. From the aged menus in plastic sleeves to a tired interior, the venue is ripe for a refresh. The servings were good and prices reflect the area but unlikely we would go back.
One of the best charcoal souvlaki places in Melbourne, food is always fantastic and the prices are very reasonable!
Just got my sovalaki and paid $18 and when I opened it, it was the size of a tortilla. Is this a joke or what. The size has shrunk. Never order here again
Tried the chicken and lamb giros. Both had a pretty good taste, but I prefer the chicken giros without skin.
This Greek restaurant exceeded all expectations. It's the perfect place to indulge in the rich flavors of Greece while enjoying top-notch service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to return
This Greek souvlaki place is amazing the food is great and the people at the front desk always know what you want and they make it perfectly love this place and would recommend for anyone.
There was no atmosphere because I was getting take away but food was sensational staff we're pleasant and you can't ask for more than that
It seems like Lambs Northcote is no longer what it used to be pre covid. I remember that I'd use to come here at least 2 times per week since mid 2018, until I had started coming less frequently with time.
My go to order was the $11.50 Traditional Soulvlaki and the $15 Hellenic Snack Pack (HSP) and being served by the friendly staff named Dalim.when the order was being made, him and others would engage with a conversation and asked how my day was. Or when I would just walk past they'd smile and give me a wave.
Given at the price accompanied by proper hospitality with generous portions. I'd not fault them for forgetting to remove onions or the one off times where I was served overripe tomatoes or the inconsistent serving portions.
I understand that when the lockdowns came, all businesses struggled to keep the lights on and retain all staffs. With the increase in cost of goods, utility, rent and labor.it was understandable that the menu pricing reflected in the increase. At the time of writing this review, the Traditional Souvlaki now costs $16.50 and the Hellenic Snack Pack (HSP) being $18. Unfortunately with the slight price increases, there comes to a point where it's off putting for nearly each order to be inconsistent. At times the meat would be dry and not seasoned enough, or being served portions at least 15% smaller than they'd used to. It was like a guessing game each time when I ordered whether they would get it right this time. At times they would get the order right. Not to mention the constant changes in staff. Customer service is lacklustre and leaves a lot left to be desired as the staff seem like they don't want to be there, or engage with customer which are waiting for their orders during quieter times.
Lambs Northcote is currently under the same management as I know of now. I would like to see them focus more on staff training and less staff turnovers, thus being serve to die for food and hospitality which leaves the customers wanting to come back again.
I would love to support local and small businesses, but I now take my patron to Stalactites in the CBD. For $2 extra, you get double the portions and they are near consistent each time with a smile on their face. Also the staff wears appropriate work uniform e.g. Chef whites, aprons, and black non-slip shoes.
Super yum souvlakis, been a few times but got my order wrong last time i went but still was tasty and reasonably priced
The Greek souvlaki is bland and flavourless. There is barely any taste to the lamb and the onion and tomato is not fresh.
Lamb cooked over the hot coals which you could taste in the meat! Wife and I thought our souvlakis were delish.
Delicious food and excellent friendly service.
Licensed so you can have a beer.
Outdoor dining if you prefer, takeaway.
Great late night dining option. Fresh gyros, crispy salad and warm soft pitas.what else do you need?
Outstanding! Purchased the mixed grill with salad a pita bread for dinner and enjoyed every morsel. Thanks Lambs Team, keep up the great work
Just ate a lamb souvlaki the meat wasn't even fit for my dog to eat and to top it off I told the staff about it and he was ignoring me like I didn't exist what a dump to eat at I highly recommend to not eat there.
Lovely food, great prices.fast food done right - fresh and tasty! Very happy return customer. A+
Staff were very friendly with the grumpy baby in our group. Am a tourist - never had a snack pack before and it was filling and really good!
Great food with great customer service, will definitely come back again, keep up the good work!
Really good value for money. Very tasty food and quick service (we got our food within 10 minutes on a busy Friday night).
