About Star Kebab & Pizza

Opposite Blackburn station, this unassuming shop pairs daily baked barbari bread with slow-cooked Persian morning dishes. Locals ring ahead to lock in crusty, sesame-topped loaves still warm from the oven. Early risers show up for bowls of halim simmered from 3 a.m., tearing into bread to scoop the savory porridge alongside rich kaleh pacheh. Later in the day, the counter pivots to hearty takeaway—think juicy rotisserie meats tucked into fresh flatbread instead of standard wraps, plus crisp-crusted Persian pizzas.

  • Fresh-Baked Barbari Bread: Baked in-house daily with a crisp crust and soft crumb, requiring advance pre-orders for large batches.
  • Hearty Persian Breakfasts: Traditional morning stews like slow-simmered halim and rich kaleh pacheh served alongside kebabs and pizzas.

Why Choose Star Kebab & Pizza

Why locals choose Star Kebab & Pizza for traditional Persian bakery staples and hearty takeaway meals

  • Freshly Baked Traditional Barbari Bread

    Traditional Persian barbari bread is baked fresh in-house daily with a soft interior and crisp crust, with pre-orders welcomed for larger batches.

    The bread is always incredibly fresh, soft on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside, and honestly one of the best barbari breads I’ve had in Australia.

  • Authentic Slow-Simmered Persian Halim

    Early morning breakfast staples like authentic halim are prepared overnight from scratch for rich, traditional morning meals.

    The best and very high quality Persian Halim in this area. I came from Bayswater North to try that and they also have fresh Persian breads with perfect quality

  • Filling Takeout Kebabs on Fresh Persian Bread

    Generously filled kebabs and specialty Persian pizzas are served on freshly baked bread for satisfying, quick takeaway family meals.

    I love the use of the Persian bread for their kebabs which is nice and crunchy to accompany the succulent chicken meat.

    Cannot express how much I love waking up early mornings on Saturdays, only to run and call this store and quickly secure my weekend dose of Halim and Barbari

  • A Comforting Nostalgic Connection to Home

    Traditional recipes and freshly baked breakfast dishes evoke a genuine culinary connection reminiscent of mornings in Iran.

    Every time I get bread from here, it brings back the feeling of home and the streets of Iran.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful culinary details and personal family care behind every early morning order

  • 3 AM Traditional Halim Preparation

    The chef begins kitchen preparations at 3:00 AM to slow-cook traditional Persian halim from scratch, ensuring it is ready for early-morning weekend pickup.

  • Advance Pre-Order Bread Coordination

    Breads are baked fresh in-house, with the shop coordinating advance pre-orders the day prior or earlier so patrons can collect hot, large-batch barbari without waiting.

  • Fresh House Barbari Instead of Standard Wraps

    Instead of using standard commercial wraps, takeout kebabs are wrapped directly in house-baked, crunchy Persian barbari bread for extra substance and texture.

  • Personal Husband-and-Wife Hosting

    Owners Zahra Khanom and her husband personally greet patrons with attentive engagement, making early-morning breakfast pickups feel like a homecoming.

Before you head over

Practical advice for ordering freshly baked bread, traditional breakfast stews, and takeaway meals.

  • Pre-order multi-loaf bread pickups

    If you need several loaves of fresh Persian barbari bread, call ahead the day before so the team can have your batch baked and ready for pickup.

  • Secure early morning breakfast dishes

    Traditional dishes like slow-cooked halim and kaleh pacheh sell quickly on weekend mornings, so call early to ensure portions are set aside.

  • Plan around a takeaway setup

    Seating inside is minimal as the venue functions primarily as a takeaway counter, so plan to collect your order to enjoy at home or on the go.
