Yiros & More

This used to be our Thursday night tradition and loved it but it’s gotten really hit and miss lately.
Twice, I’ve asked for a pack with no chips and twice I’ve gotten chips. Once we got all the way home and realised that they had not given us a Yiros we ordered. Rarely is our order ever fully correct and we order for 5 – 8 people every week. The meat quality is also hit and miss; sometimes the lamb is beautifully thinly shaved and sometimes it’s chunky and fatty.
We have stopped going as regularly as before for this very reason. I keep insisting on going here because I’m on a very strict low carb diet and it’s one of the few takeaway options where my efforts aren’t completely wasted, hence the no chips, but when all the other people at our gathering are not happy with their meals I’m embarrassed that I keep holding on to the hope that it’ll be a good Yiros night.

This looks to be a simple take away in a shopping centre. In fact, it probably IS a simple take away in a shopping centre — what you don’t see from the outside is just how good the yiros is from here. We went here on a recommendation from a friend who lives out this way, desperate for Yiros but not wanting the hassle of going into town for it — and we found an absolutely gorgeous meal in the end.
There are four tables inside — I’m guessing it’s not a real big ‘eat in’ venue, but they were perfect for the four of us — the meat is so tender, and so full of flavour — we ended up with a couple of platters of chips smothered in meat and gravy, while the kids went with more traditional yiros wrapped in pita bread — the chips are crisp and golden, and fluffy inside, just the way hot chips should be.
We were impressed enough we were back the next night — the owners recognised us and said we must have enjoyed the food, and we explained we were about 20 minutes drive away — guess we’re now regulars there because they always have plates and cutlery for us when we come in :)
So, yes — worth a trip even if you’re a little further away. I’m sure all the other food is great, there’s a range of burgers and hot dogs and fish, etc — it all looks wonderful when they’re preparing it — but the yiros meat is sensational so we haven’t tried anything else.
