    Absolutely adored my experience with Kevabs! They had such amazing all vegan food and I can't wait to go again. I had the droolworthy HSP which I couldn't believe was vegan. I have been waiting for authentic turkish vegan options for so long and finally we have it! They had such a great variety of Turkish delight, I had to try them all! I would recommend this place to everyone and I will definitely be back there again and again.

    What a treat! This place is amazing and I just wanted to try everything! I went with the gozleme, coffee, baklava and a Portuguese tart and they were all delicious 😋

    The kebabs and baklava were amazing, and the kebab tasted exactly like meat. The borek was average but the staff were super friendly, it’s a nice place to in and the portions for their pricing were good. Would HIGHLY. Recommend this to anyone who hasn’t been.

    Really good alternative and I have to admit it’s pretty good. Chilli and garlic sauce combination on the kevab is good. The portion itself doesn’t fill me up but it taste good. Chikkin Sish kebab is more to my palate and I actually prefer that. This is coming from a guy who is a flexitarian 😬 Baklava is not overly soaked in sugar syrup so it’s so as sweet as you’d expect it to be. I like it. Friendly people behind the counter. I’d be back. Overall a 7/10.

    Excelent service and great food - would suggest less sauce on the cheese burger kebab that you suggest and (with a suggested guidance away from the original idea) some sort of lettuce or fresh cruch to counteract, the pictures of other items were a lot more fresh looking, but if this is your jam :) The gozleme was A1 with the rice salad thanks! Super full and fullfilled from a great level of service and enjoyable food from the heart.

    Having always been on the list of places to visit, Kevabs really loved up to it's hype. Totally reasonable prices for all the food here, although not having a huge variety of foods, it is perfect for what a typical "kebab" shop would offer. The Kevab did lack sauce but we should have just asked for more! With an all vegan menu, very friendly staff and awesome tasting food, my partner and myself will definitely come back!

    Easy to find. Lots of parking at the Coles near by. Friendly staff, always have a smile on their face. Food is OF COURSE delicious. Please do try the Kebab and HSP. Big fan of their mock meat. Also they have a non alcoholic beer which is perfect for us. Would come back! ❤❤

    Incredible food, so great to see a vegetarian/vegan kebab place. The amount of food you get for your money is amazing. And it’s beautiful and clean inside. The customer service was also very great

    I haven't had a meat kebab in so long and was so impressed by the taste. The meat isn't your typical shredded beef of course but well seasoned and filling. It is a bit squishy but I personally didn't mind. Portion size were huge and I enjoyed the vegan cheese. Sometimes vegan cheese is gross and plastic-y in texture but this was tasty and melted pretty well. Wish I lived closer so I could have it more. The Portuguese tarts were amazing too. I've found most vegan custard analogues pretty disgusting but I demolished this in 1 second. Owner there was friendly and happy to have a chat about the food. Also warmed my heart to see her offer a homeless person outside dinner. A true rarity these days.

    On a positive, the gozleme is great. I will order it again in the future. The kevabs themselves though is another story. The regular kevab has a weird texture. As a vegan, I've tried other establishments that offer kebabs so I have a benchmark when rating this. The chicken one was even worse. Super oily and salty. It slipped from my hands to the ground but I wasn't even angry as I wouldn't have been able to tolerate finishing it anyway. My constructive feedback is to please consider using less salt and oil and dry out the salad before putting it in the pita as it was too soggy. I will give this establishment one more chance to potentially adjust my review or make the decision to never dine here again. On a final positive note, the staff are friendly.

    These guys make really fresh vegetarian kebabs that are generous in size and don't feel oily or unhealthy. Great selection of home made salads too. Lovely staff - so impressed!!!

    Went to this restaurant because it was recommended on a podcast I listen to and not only were the staff absolutely amazing but everything was so delicious !!! They were even so kind as to add a couple little freebies with my order which was an extremely lovely touch and very thoughtful. 10/10 establishment and I’ll come be back next time I’m in Melbourne!

    Visited here with my vegan partner on 15/4/22 & after reading the great reviews on here, we were both really looking forward to it. Unfortunately the actual Kevab was disappointing- lacked flavour and seasoning (salt) - also too much of it in the kevab. The falafel was spot on as were the chips with gravy - you wouldn’t know it was vegan - YUM!!! Would probably eat here again but steer clear of the kevab. Service was spot on also…. Reasonably priced.

    I got the cheese burger kevab and it was so delicious! Service was friendly and quick as well. I'd definitely go back and try the other dishes!

  • 5/5 Antonia E. 1 month ago on Google • 32 reviews New
    Had a delicious vegan kebabs slider for $2 which was an ideal way to try these vegan chef's wares. Could have used a bit more sauce so order extra if you like your sauce, but can highly recommend the actual vegan kebab 'meat'. Will be back!

  • 5/5 Aura V. 3 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    We had lunch today and it was amazing! The food was so tasty and the chef the sweetest person! She opened the doors for us even before opening time and made the best kevabs we could ask for😍 she made our day! Really glad we found this vegan place! Thank you!🫶🏻

    I’ve been here many times… this place needs to be consistent in terms of quality and service… my first time experience was 5 star, second time 3*, 3rd time 2*, then 5 star again and last time 0!

  • 2/5 Kate L. 6 months ago on Google
    Tasty but texture of the kebab is not quite right, too squishy for me. I only ate half of it. The tabbouleh was nice. Loud intrusive music. Friendly service though.

  • 5/5 vishnu k. 5 months ago on Google
    Always the best vegan kevabs at great prices, been my favourite place since 2020 now and love going here, especially since they extended their hours of operations and have such great variety (everything vegan so pick without worry)

  • 5/5 bilts 1 year ago on Google
    1st time there today. Brilliant plant based tastes of turkish food. The owner offered such friendly service. The food was fantastic. The Turkish coffee with it to boot,..awesome. From the Kevabs, to salads, & the sweets. Glad we took our Esky for some takeaways as well. It was so nice. We will call in there everytime going into Melbourne now....hooked!!!

  • 5/5 Genevieve M. 6 months ago on Google
    Best falafel/wrap I’ve ever had. I added tabbouleh hummus and garlic sauce as extras. Absolutely delicious, fresh and fast service!

  • 5/5 Jen C. 6 months ago on Google
    Finally got to visit today after hearing so many great things and it was well worth the travel. The food is so good, fresh and tasty. Looking forward to my next visit. If I lived closer I'd be here at least once a week!

  • 5/5 Lovee A. 9 months ago on Google
    Wonderful food and service by awesome Yukaan. I had a chikken soup & the salad box. Both very affordable and huge in size. Tasted beautiful too. Perfect place to get your kebab fix too. I highly recommend this place . They serve some amazing food. The only thing was the door stays open so cold wind keeps coming in, music was bit loud for my liking (but I think its that kind of place plus food is served in plastic containers like salad. I will try take my own container next time. Regardless go for their beautiful food and wonderful customer service. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Hannah G. 9 months ago on Google
    Food is excellent! Love the range of alternative vegan kebabs to your standard felafel. Salad bar is extensive and range of sweet things are incredibly tempting. Sit down is an option, very casual

  • 5/5 Todd Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing vegan kebabs, authentic flavours and good portion sizes. Had both the signature Kevab and the chickn and both were great! They have absolutely nailed it!

  • 3/5 Erin T. 10 months ago on Google
    I ordered the falafel wrap and chips. Everything was so extremely salty, including the dipping sauce. If there was far less salt added, it would have been great. Disappointing

  • 5/5 Jayde E. 11 months ago on Google
    Delicious food I’m very obsessed with their baklava. A must visit for everyone - especially vegans :D

  • 1/5 Jen P. 1 year ago on Google
    I wanted to love this. It’s local to me, female owned & vegan & as a vegan I often crave a great kebab. I was sadly disappointed with this one. Kevab was tasteless and underwhelming. I’ll try again in 6 months in case of improvement or maybe it was a bad day.

  • 5/5 Miranda M. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend bought me a burger kebab because I had a rough day. It left my mood up right away. The cheese melt, the onion and the added pickles added such a good touch. Thank you so much!

  • 4/5 Andrea T. 2 years ago on Google
    When they first opened it had a very special flavour that blew my mind. I went back recently and somehow it’s a bit different? Still good tho! Edit: thank you for the response! Will be ordering again soon! ❤️

  • 4/5 Ayana H. 1 year ago on Google
    Casual spot for tasty vegan kebabs! Pita was light and thin rather than the thick bready type which worked well. A bit small for the price but would go again!

  • 5/5 Lance G. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed a delicious raspberry jam tart at Kevabs. I also drank a can of Coke No Sugar. The atmosphere at this cafe is very friendly.

  • 5/5 King K. 1 year ago on Google
    wasn't sure this place was vegan, the food was soooooo good. Love the gluten free treats as well

  • 5/5 Philbi s. 1 year ago on Google
    If your ever in Brunswick go eat at Kevabs Brunswick Falafel popcorn was Yunmo & the Spinach and ricotta on flatbread was just beautiful with lemon, Amazing turkish baklava hands down the best I've ever had A1 quality Great service with a smile Really tasty food!! Thanks guys!!

  • 4/5 Eric C. 1 year ago on Google
    Quick service for this vegan restaurant. The Gözleme was surprisingly tasty.

  • 5/5 Kathryn C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really delicious food. Takeaway was a potpourri of the best of the best. So yum, indeed. Plus some jam donuts to seal the meal.

  • 5/5 Brittany S. 1 year ago on Google
    Can’t say enough good things about Kevabs! Food is good quality and super yummy, the portions are huge, and great value. My go to is a Kevab and chips— $20 and usually enough for two meals. The staff are beyond lovely and always greet you with a warm smile:) Pro tip— add pickles into your Kevab :)

  • 2/5 Daniel B. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered the HSP with garlic sauce and chilli on the side. Fries were great, everything else was waayyy too salty. Garlic sauce was excessive and overpowering in taste, would not recommend. Pretty disappointed.

  • 2/5 naser t. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m sorry to give you only 2star Your meal looks like great and delicious But my order was about very little chilli on top. I couldn’t finish my meal and I was in rush, hope I have chance to get back to you very soon without hot chilli 🌶 🥵 🙃

  • 4/5 Mahi 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, vegan options available, friendly staff. one advice on food could be to make it with less amount of salt.

  • 4/5 Tom C. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Lovely joint with nice salads. IT IS VEGAN. Did not realise this before ordering unfortunately. Do not get a chicken kebab unless you are vegan or you will be disappointed.
