Lamb On Chapel

Such beautiful tasty food and wonderful service. Each time we come down from Sydney, this is the first place we eat.

We went in for a late-​night bite after a night (and afternoon) of boozing around town. I shared a lamb gyro with my husband, and it was more than enough to fill us up. LOC is generous with the meat and toppings, and their pita bread is pretty tasty. Definitely a worthwhile stop!

Flavorful combination of succulent meat, garlic sauce and soft soft bread. Should not be missed!

I still dream about this place. I’ve never had lamb this good before or after experiencing Lamb on Chapel! So good! I work in Downtown Los Angeles and have kebabs, shawarmas, and gyros all over the place. None of them are even close to LOC. If I ever make it back to Melbourne, I will have to come back here for the best souvlaki I’ve ever had! It’s not about the service here, it’s about the food.

Bad attitude and no humus. These guys treat you like you’re a drunk nightclub patron stumbling in at 3am. Even when you walk in at noon on the weekend looking for a Kabab.
I asked for humus and he looked at me like I’m stupid for asking and said «nah we don’t have humus we are Lebanese».
a. Didn’t the Lebanese invent humus?
b. I care about your ancestry about as much as you care about mine. You’re a kebab shop, get some humus!
Finally the kebabs are expensive for what they are. Kebab and drink was $ 15, and wasn’t that good. I will only go back as a last resort.

The lamb looks freakin awesome!
I must say, each time I passed this place in the past, I thought I was passing a meat market similar to what I might have seen during my tour of duty in New Delhi: a halal meat market selling lamb and other bits… boy was I wrong!
Upon entering I see an amazing rotisserie slammed with lamb! The view was incredible and I could not stop looking at it! I knew I would be enjoying a delicious Souvlaki stuffed ONLY with lamb and a thick garlic sauce — yep, meat alone is the way to eat this fantastic work of art!
The other important point to mention here is the only way to eat this puppy is standing — the souvlaki is a generous size and I found it easy to eat standing at the bar… yes, for those more experienced eaters of such goodies, there are tables and a tv, sporting footie on Saturday!
All I have to say, the experience was awesome and I was so damn tempted to eat a second. Gladly, reason won out and I ordered a side of fries to finish the experience off.

I’ve had some pretty tasty souvlakis while sober, and lamb’s is one of them. However, I’ve found it to be a little inconsistent. Sometimes you’ll get a lot of gristle and other time you won’t. Also I find that it’s a little too small and a little too expensive.

There is no better site on a beautifully drunken summer’s night than the white clouds of smoke that rise from the chimney of Lambs. As your nose leads the way you know that you are in for a treat.
Slowly roasted the amazingly good souvlaki is best enjoyed with both lamb and chicken, smothered with garlic and chilli sauce. The meat is some of the finest in town, I don’t actually know this for sure as I have only eaten here when drunk but I do know that it is dam fine and a must at any time of the night after a couple of drinks. I don’t know why you would go to KFC or Hungry Jacks when this is available.

Hungry at midnight? Or just need a snack after a great night out? Lamb on Chapel is just the place. I remember my first experience at Lamb on Chapel years ago after a midnight movie. Besides the fact that I had just finished a huge bag of popcorn, I decided to try the famous souvlaki. Even though I wasn’t very hungry — the flavour was delish and since then, it’s always been a winner!
Besides the fact that this place opens late and is a favourite with after hours crowds, the souvlakis at Lamb on Chapel really are very good. Albeit, a little greasy — but that’s what makes them good! In fact, this is one of the places I bring overseas guests to just so they can get their fill without paying an arm and a leg.
My favourite is the lamb souvlaki with the lot. Okay I’m a big eater and I love that they have hot chilli sauce as well. It helps that the staff know exactly how to pack in a kebab so you can eat it without having everything fall apart. For the less seasoned souvlaki eater — You’re meant to fold over the paper and wrap downwards as you eat. Do not attempt to take the souvlaki roll out of the paper or you will end up with most of it on the floor and not in your mouth.
