Melbourne Kebab Station - Essendon

I have a taste for Middle Eastern food, having spent some time in the area. I especially like felafels,an Arab vegetarian dish with deep-fried patties made from ground chick peas or fava beans, including garlic sauce and often humus with lettuce and tomato, eaten with flat bread. Made properly, it's the perfect vegan food, but you don't have to be vegan to enjoy it -- it's great for a between-meals snack. By the way, if you are on a sugar-free diet, Melbourne Kebabg Station has a liquid yoghurt drink which is sugar-free. Other enjoyable MIddle Eastern dishes are on the menu.

You just can't find a Döner Kebab in Australia that matches what you can get in Germany (usually better to eat Souvlaki in Australia ;-)..... BUT.... the Kebabs at Kebab Station in Niddrie are some of the best I've found in Australia! And the staff are very, very friendly.

I ordered take-away Kebabs when the order was nearly complete I noticed the girl holding my Kebab with un-gloved hands. I was horrified that would happen in this day and age. I then watched what she would do with the next Kebab I had ordered and she did the same thing she held the Kebab with her un-gloved held it together to wrap the paper around the bottom 3/4's of it leaving an opening to start eating at. Then she used her bare hand again to push the open end down into the bag. I went to the counter and asked why she was handling my food without gloves - an older lady came over then and told me it was ok because she didn't handle the money - which makes no difference -there were a box of gloves sitting on the counter they just weren't used - the worse part is she did handle our money we paid the girl who made our order and handled our food. They did not offer a refund or to remake our order they just did not care - I have low immunity due to health issues and so do others in the community - I was lucky I did not get sick the next person may not be - it if a fact germs are most easily spread through hand contact. DO NOT EAT AT THE STORE

I love the food here but you need to go early. They don't cook enough for the Friday and Saturday night masses and they know it, but don't do anything to change it. They sell out of lamb by about 7 - 7.30pm on a Friday night. One of the silliest things about this place is that they sell a bread and dip "package" if you dine in, but refuse to sell it to you if you are taking away. Ridiculous. But I still come back because I love the food.
