Lamb, chicken and pork turned over real charcoal, carved to order and wrapped in warm pita. On Hindley Street since 2002.

Adelaide · Hindley Street
-:--Late nights Friday and Saturday. Mondays we close at 3:30pm.
Yianni took over this corner in 2002 and rebuilt it around one rule: charcoal or nothing. In 2023 the delicious. 100 named us Best Yiros Shop. In 2025 we rebuilt the shop — and lit the same fire.

Why charcoal still wins
Charcoal gives you two things gas can’t fake: a proper browned, crackling edge on the meat, and smoke that works its way into every layer. It’s slower, fussier and far more work. That’s the point.
On the banner
“If it’s not charcoal…”
Shaved off the spit the moment you order, into warm pita and straight into your hands.
Made in the shop the way it has always been made. No, we won't tell you. Yes, people have asked.

Best Yiros Shop
delicious. 100 · November 2023
“An institution for a long time. Charcoal-roasted spit meat — best yiros in town. Highly recommend the pork and lamb, no lettuce, extra garlic sauce and onion.”
“Lamb yiros were sensational and fully loaded with so much meat. Super delicious — the only ones as nice were when travelling around Greece.”
“Awesome yiros, flavoured over the charcoal grill. Best I've had without a doubt. Got the lot and so worth it — good value even for the mini. Service was pretty quick considering the crowd.”
Catering
Office lunches, birthdays, footy nights and family dinners. Trays of charcoal meat, salad, pita, chips and plenty of garlic sauce. Give us the date and headcount and we’ll handle the rest. Like a Greek wedding, minus the 400 cousins.
Good questions
Something we haven’t covered? The shop phone gets answered by the people holding the knife.
(08) 8212 5552Yes. There is one Yianni's Hellenic Yiros, at 270 Hindley Street, and there has never been a second. Similarly named shops around Adelaide are not branches of ours.
Yes — order online from the menu page, pick a pickup time, and pay at the counter when you collect. You'll get a link that shows your wait time once the kitchen accepts. Prefer the phone? Call (08) 8212 5552. For delivery, we're on Uber Eats.
Yes — all the lamb we carve is halal. It's not an add-on or a request; it's simply the lamb on the spit. Anything else you want certified, sourced or explained — ask at the counter. We'll tell you straight.
We do — office lunches, birthdays, wakes, big family nights. Tell us the date and headcount on the catering page (or call the shop) and we'll put together trays of charcoal meat, salad, pita, chips and garlic sauce.
