Pros: Very tasty food, worth the wait. service with a smile from the staff. Get in before 3 else no halwa puri available over the weekends.
Cons: Oily floor which needs a good steam clean. Staff was not being helpful in cleaning the tables and dropping the serviettes on the floor. Another person was clearing off used serviettes and food off the floor. The rice and oily food had made the floor sticky and slippery where my wife slipped twice. The staff working needs some training to be polite to not scream and took amongst themselves planning what they are doing on Tuesday evening if they don’t have a shift. 2 different kind of music playing at the same time. Near entrance area Nusrat Fateh Ali was making us enjoy while at the back with the soothing ambiance with mellow music was giving the un synced mix.
Phones are rearly answered as mailbox is full.
Final verdict will I go back again definitely.
Will update the review if I find any changes in the next trips.

Fawkner Kebab House is a true hidden gem for authentic Pakistani flavours. A friend of ours who is a great cook and Pakistani themselves recommended we go here, so we took their advice straight away and went the same day 😂 and we’re so glad we did.
We ordered quite a lot and somehow managed to finish everything because it was that good. The portions are very generous, the restaurant is clean, and the staff are absolutely lovely, serving everyone with massive smiles and genuine warmth.
We tried the chicken karachi, goat curry, and BBQ kebabs, and every dish was full of flavour and cooked beautifully. You can really tell this place is the real deal, especially since so many local Pakistani customers choose to eat here regularly.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic, hearty Pakistani food done right.

Don't recommend going here. Wasted $36 and left food for waste. I should have checked the other reviews first..Terrible customer service and food quality.
The lady that served us, not sure what was wrong with her, she makes sure to feel you regret ordering. Very rude, as if she is giving food for free.
then she made HSP, chips were soggy, chicken was mashed. I asked for well cooked, guess what? it felt raw.
Even worse, our order was on the desk for 15 minutes before handing to us and it was cold.
There is nothing pakistani or turkish about this restaurant. Save your money.

Fawkner Kebab House serves an excellent Pakistani breakfast with authentic flavours and generous portions. The food is fresh, well-seasoned, and tastes just like home. Friendly service and a great spot for a proper desi breakfast. Highly recommended. 🇵🇰🍽️

As a non-Pakistani, I loved the Gema paratha and the chana (chickpea dish). Also I had their pizza and the omelette which was very nice. I’ve been there many times and never get bored of it. Sometimes The bathroom isn’t very clean, I wish they would focus more on this point but I guess I go in weekend when it is super super busy.
