About Oakleigh Fish & Chippery

Oakleigh Fish & Chippery delivers old-school counter service with a Greek spin, turning out crisp flake and thick-cut chips minus the heavy oil slick. Patrons pick their seasonings at the counter—chicken salt, sea salt, oregano, or cracked pepper—before unrolling orders bundled in printed newspaper. Regulars lean into the hybrid menu, pairing grilled blue grenadier and crunchy potato cakes with lamb skewers or fish souvlaki straight off the grill.

  • Seasoned to order: Thick-cut chips arrive hot and dry, with custom seasonings including chicken salt, sea salt, oregano, or cracked pepper.
  • Greek chippy classics: Pours energy into Greek street eats alongside the fryers, serving fish souvlaki, lamb skewers, and fresh Greek salads.
  • Old-school paper wraps: Eat-in and takeaway orders come bundled in classic printed newsprint paper, complete with wet wipes at the tables.
