Without doubt the best fish and chips we’ve had in a long, long time! Tried them for the first time a couple of weeks ago and on that occasion they were super busy and we had a half-hour wait but it was worth it. Went back today at a slightly earlier time and only had to wait about 10 minutes. Absolute top quality and the staff are very friendly. These guys deserve to be supported for the service they provide.
08/09/2024 Forced to edit my review. Things have gone downhill again. Chips are ok, but expensive for what you get. Souvlakis have gone from stuffed flatbread to tortilla with a little filling, essentially not worth it and very disappointing.
Maybe what is worth it these days.
Won’t be back till name changes or new owners again.
Old review
I used to come here very rarely when i wanted some chips and a Souvlaki, even they they never had lamb and i hated myself for it. I had another day where i was hating myself, so i went back, only to find the place had new owners for the last 7 months. Ordered a Lamb Souvlaki, chips………..OMG, truly lovely food, I’ve been back a few times now, quality has been consistent and i really hope it stays that way. Definitely give this place a try, especially if you came here a few years ago.

“The fish and chips at this restaurant are simply outstanding! The batter is perfectly crisp and golden, while the fish inside is flaky and fresh. The chips are hot and well-seasoned, providing the ideal complement. The portion sizes are generous, and the service is friendly and attentive. I also appreciate the cozy atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic fish and chips!”
Perfect fisherman’s basket. Batter light and crispy, seafood fresh and tasty. Chips cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly. Best fish and chip shop I’ve been to in many years.
An honest review. I got my souvauki . Soo cold. When i started eating , no chicken literally just salad. Better to get kebab from outside on the corner royal kebab. Never coming back
Fish and chips and a can of coke for $13 is an awesome deal and the batter is clean and crunchy and so nice….the hamburgers are beautiful with fresh crunchy salad toppings and the chips are cooked perfectly……
Brilliant owner! High quality food every time, fantastic value. Real Aussie tucker shop
