About Zak's Kebabs

Zak’s Kebabs serves up massive, scratch-made kebabs and HSPs in Lalor, backed by the kind of warm, one-on-one hospitality you rarely see anymore. First-timers often get handed a hot tasting plate of carved spit meat and crunchy chips while waiting. Orders come stacked high—tender lamb and chicken bundled in chewy bread with garlic sauce, or piled over fries dusted in chicken salt without swimming in excess grease. Zak treats every customer like an old mate, running the counter with genuine pride.

  • Tester plates on the house: Owner Zak routinely hands waiting guests complimentary sample plates piled with shaved spit meat and hot fries.
  • Crisp, clean HSPs: Beds of crisp chips layered with tender chicken and lamb, melted cheese, and garlic sauce skip the heavy post-meal grease.
  • Generously packed kebabs: Enormous rolls stuffed to capacity with tender carved meats, fresh salads, and house-made sauces.

  • HSP

    Easily the best HSP I’ve had in Melbourne. The meat is perfectly cooked, the chips are crispy every time, and the sauce combo is just spot on.

  • Mixed HSP

    The blending of both the lamb & chicken was the best I have tried by a mile, add to that golden, crispy and cooked to perfection chips with the perfect amount of cheese mixed in the middle of it all and you have food heaven right on the tip of your tongue.

  • Lamb kebabs

    Incredible kebabs. We got 2 lamb kebabs each with fresh homemade garlic sauce and a mixed HSP with homemade gravy and cheese . All ingredients were very fresh, the lamb tender, chicken fresh and soft and the bread a good chewy texture.
