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.

The menu is short, with just 8 tapas, 3 mains and 4 pizzas, but despite this, there should be something to tempt most people. There’s a pollo parmigiana, which seemed a little bit out of place on the menu, but with tasty crumbing and a good salad with what seemed to be house made semi-dried tomatoes, it’s a cut above the average parma. The hand rolled gnocchi with three mushroom (varieties) and sage butter could have done with a bit more seasoning and saucing, but otherwise was good.

Equally brief is the wine list, with just a handful of reds and whites, none more than $9/$39 by the glass and bottle respectively.

If there is a weakness, it’s probably the service, which was a little too anxious during our visit. With the bright, airy space, I’m also a little surprised it doesn’t open for breakfast on weekends.
