Welcome to Kalimera Souvlaki Art

Handmade Souvlaki using the leanest meats, most refined olive oil, locally produced salads and authentic ingredients from Greece.

What we do & why we do it.

The only way to transmit the voice of truth to someone is to have heard it yourself and let this truth become part of your life. Thomas Deliopoulos listened to this voice from a loving couple of deaf-mute, who happened to be his parents. Their physical disability instead of a curse turned into a blessing as they developed a very special bond with the land and the cattle.

Raised by an agricultural family, which was also involved in stock-breeding, young Thomas realized from his early childhood the gift of being in contact with mother nature. He learned how to collect, in full respect, the best of the products it had to offer. Young Thomas soon developed a passion for cooking; it was something more than a simple hobby. He learnt from his family background the importance of selecting the best raw materials and that authentic good taste lies in simplicity and excellent quality…this often beats sophistication which sometimes covers taste instead of enhancing it.

From humble beginnings.

At the age of 17, he joined the army, where he was chosen as a cook. He serviced for 16 years in officers’ clubs, based in Greece and overseas, in NATO. At the same time, he worked in the free market, collaborating with restaurants, bars etc. He reached one point when he felt that this circle was over and that it was about time to quit the army; it had never been a field of expression for him anyway.

But every end leads to a new beginning…Tom decided to take the next big step. A real challenge was…His wife and son are Australian citizens, so the whole family moved to Melbourne for a brand new start. Once settled, they realized that despite the numerous souvlaki restaurants, something was missing. One with authentic taste, …AUTHENTIC is for Thomas the keyword for tasty cooking (Authentic is the keyword for almost everything)

Making a difference through Souvlaki Art.

So they decided to make it happen. With hard work, inspiration and the desire to share all that Thomas had learnt throughout his valuable experience

Thus, in the very heart of the greek community in Oakleigh, SOUVLAKI ART made the difference…. A unique combination of traditional and progressive, where the best, carefully selected meat and quality fresh vegetables with just the right spice are wrapped in delicious pitta bread, KALIMERA SOUVLAKI ART is a restaurant will WRAP you around.

Hunky Dory-Souvlaki Oakleigh

hunkydory.com.au

(03)96454435

OUR STORY

A family of fishermen since 1927.

At Hunky Dory, family is at the heart of everything we do.

Our man behind the Hunky magic, Greg, was raised on the water, standing proudly beside his Greek Dad & Grandfather on their commercial fishing boat. When school holidays rolled around, you could find Greg behind the counter at his family’s fish & chip shop. As a seafood-lover, Greg’s Dad was well known as one of the friendly faces at the Melbourne Fish Market for years. When Hunky Dory opened its doors in 2004, Greg’s family were by his side. They have all proudly worn a Hunkys t-shirt along the way; Greg’s Grandfather was still rocking one in-store until he was 91!

We are blessed to see our Hunky family grow over the years & are so grateful for our beautiful family in-store who spread the Hunky Love every day.

Our mission at Hunky Dory has always been the same – to shake up the Fish & Chip game & give it a healthy spin. Whether you’re craving a succulent piece of grilled salmon or a crispy potato cake, at Hunkys, everyone has a seat at the table to be as healthy (or as naughty) as you like.

Pull up a seat, relax & soak in the Hunky Love.

Differences Between Kebabs

Doner – The Original Kebab?

The doner kebab is like an ancestor to its younger descendants – the gyros and the shawarma. It has its origins in the Ottoman empire, dating back to the 1200s. The meat was cooked in a large cone-like shape, on a vertical spike that was turned as it roasted. When cooked, the outer layers were shaved off while the rest of the cone was left on the spike to cook.

Doners today are still prepared in the same way with gyros and shawarma kebabs are variations on the same theme. At Anatolia, you can get chicken and lamb doners, served with rice and salad. However, if you're struggling to choose between the two, you could always plump for the Mixed Doner, which includes both chicken and lamb.

Gyros – Mediterranean Herbs And Tzatziki

Greece was a part of the Ottoman Empire until the nineteenth century and its cuisine developed under the Ottoman influence. In Greek cuisine the gyros is very similar to the famous doner kebab: gyros mean "turn" in Greek and both are cooked on a vertical rotisserie.

A gyro is usually made with lamb, beef, pork or chicken. The meat is marinated with Mediterranean herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano. The Pork Gyros Wrap at The Athenian is a typical example of authentic Greek gyros cooking. Marinated in lemon juice, olive oil and herbs, the meat is served in handmade pita bread, along with oregano fries, tomato, red onion and, of course, tzatziki sauce.

Souvlaki – Cooked On A Skewer

Souvlaki is linked to the Greek word souvla (meaning spit), and the origins of souvlaki date back to ancient Greece. Back then the dish was known as kandaulos. The main difference between a gyro and souvlaki is the way the meat is cooked. Where gyros are cooked as vertical cones of meat, the souvlaki meat is cooked horizontally, on skewers that are rotated on a grill.

Some souvlaki is served on the skewer, but they can also be taken off the skewer and served in pita bread with a sauce and garnish – like the lamb souvlaki plate at Mikos Souvlaki. The way they're usually served leads people to think that gyros and souvlaki are interchangeable terms!

Shawarma – Seasoned And Spiced

The Shawarma is like the gyros' cousin: it has the same heritage – the Ottoman Empire – but as the doner travelled to the Middle East it became known as the "shawarma", the Arabic word for "turning". The Shawarma was adapted to local tastes and developed its own identity, which today makes it different to a gyros or a doner kebab.

Shawarma is often made with beef, lamb or chicken, with the meat being marinated for up to 24 hours in different seasoning and spices. Typically, these will include bay leaves, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon and coriander. Toppings might include tabbouleh, fattoush and hummus with the sauce is often being tahini – made with sesame seeds. After its slow marinade and vertical roasting, the Shawarma Lamb at Maroush is served with sesame oil sauce, onion, parsley and tomato.
