The couple that run this place are sitting on a gold mine. If you ask locals where they go to get their barbequed chickens 90 per cent of the time they will answer with Lemon grass. This has been a North Balwyn institution since I was a little girl and it shows no signs of closing down anytime soon. You can smell the delicious chickens from a mile away and as soon as you step inside you are overcome with the sight of crispy meals, a huge array of salads and some pretty tasty chips. This is the perfect destination if you can’t be bothered with cooking. You can either opt for the unhealthy options: chicken and chips, or try something lighter: chicken and salads. The service is quick and efficient and the staff seem nice enough. You can either eat in, or take away. The setting isn’t very intimate or comfortable so I generally opt for the latter.

These guys have been open since I was in pre-school. So thats’s like 20 something years. Their quality, service and taste of food has not wavered so many years on. The great thing about Lemon Grass is that their food is just so tasty! They have such a great range of salads also and you can phone in and pre-order your chicken for dinner to beat the dinner time rush. You can taste the freshness with all their takeaway options and if you chose to dine in the service is also super with great chatty staff who always make you feel welcome.
