A good kebab is more than the sum of its parts, and a case in point is the phenomenal example served up at Tiba’s Lebanese Restaurant (504 Sydney Rd, Brunswick). I ordered a double chicken shish ($9) to take away, although a single is available ($7.50)
Despite being fairly busy, it arrived quickly quickly. The pita bread was toasted, and was spread with what tasted like tahini and garlic sauce. Pickled turnip and a parsley provided great depth of flavour, with the latter also providing texture, as did the tomato and lettuce. Being a double, there was quite a lot of chicken, and it was perfectly cooked.
People rave about Kebab Station, up at the Coburg end of Sydney Road, but I think it’s Tiba’s that serves Sydney Road’s (if not Melbourne’s) finest kebab.
