Whilst in the area and needing a quick meal ... i stopped here and ordered quarter chicken and chips. I found it to be quite good to eat and chips were golden crispy as i liked it.

the shop has a range of salads to choose from which are made daily.

the staff member who served me was polite and pleasant.

Definitely happy to go back again!

*This Business is called Fitzroy Charcoal Chicken.

This business has changed names several times and is now under new management (for the last few months). After nervously eyeing it for a while I finally tried their food and am glad I did. They have several attractive looking salads typically a pasta salad, a chicken salad and a greek salad with a couple of others. What we like are their burgers: my partner gets their burger with the lot which is about $6 and very filling. They do a good serving of chips too for $3.50 a box (small). The first time we ordered we didn't expect to get so many chips, the two of us couldn't finish the box. And they do roast chicken here, it tastes like...chicken. I've found the taste to vary from so-so to very good.

My favourite food here would have to be the spanokopita. If you're lucky to catch it as it comes out hot from the oven, don't miss out! Sometimes they make the spanokopita with zucchini which is pretty good but I prefer it with silverbeet. One big hefty slice is about $6.50, packed with feta cheese and oozing homemade goodness. I tried the dolmades with mince and they were good too.

I should mention that according to their signage, they cook in cottonseed oil which is not a very healthy choice, as far as I know. Which means I wouldn't recommend the fried foods such as chips (pity, they taste good) however they do seasoned whole roast potatoes for 80 cents each or 3 for $2.

The lady who normally serves here is pretty friendly. She said they'd only been open a few months and it was rather quiet. I hope they get a bit more business soon.

Approximate cost: $10
