Discover Kebab Thyme, a vibrant Turkish dining spot located at Shop 1/1015 Burwood Hwy, Ferntree Gully VIC 3156, Australia. For anyone exploring local dining experiences around Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, this restaurant makes a strong impression with traditional Turkish flavours, generous fillings, grilled meats, and contemporary kebab combinations. From a food blogger’s perspective, Kebab Thyme stands out by taking familiar takeaway favourites and giving diners much more variety than the average kebab shop.
The menu covers kebabs, halal snack packs, gozleme, mixed grills, dips, sides, vegetarian dishes, and desserts. Prices remain approachable for casual dining: current delivery listings show The Original kebab around A$16, a Halal Snack Pack from A$17, Lamb Gozleme around A$24, and the larger Mixed Grill Plate around A$43.99. This range makes Kebab Thyme in Ferntree Gully suitable for everything from a quick lunch to a filling shared dinner.
A signature choice is the Halal Snack Pack, combining lamb, chicken, or mixed meat with chips or rice, optional cheese, sauces, and toppings. The contrast between hot seasoned meat, crisp chips, and creamy sauce gives this Australian-Turkish favourite its indulgent character. Another standout is The Original, a straightforward kebab loaded with tomato, lettuce, onion, and garlic sauce. For something more traditional, the Lamb Gozleme pairs savoury lamb and spices with mozzarella inside crisp Turkish pastry.
Customer feedback reinforces the restaurant’s focus on freshness. One recent Google reviewer praised the “great kebabs with very fresh ingredients” and also highlighted the restaurant’s cool atmosphere. Another diner noted satisfying portions, flavourful food, and notably fresh wrap ingredients. Delivery feedback is similarly positive about the generously filled kebabs, although some customers feel certain portions or extras can be expensive, making value one area where individual expectations may differ.
The space has a casual, energetic feel rather than a formal restaurant atmosphere, complemented by colourful Turkish character and an easygoing setting for quick meals. Delivery and takeaway are available, while diners have also reported plentiful free parking and a falafel option for vegetarians.
Dessert gives Kebab Thyme another advantage. Turkish baklava brings crisp filo, walnuts, and syrup, while Turkish delight and chilled rice pudding offer lighter ways to finish. Freshly squeezed orange juice is another refreshing touch.
For diners comparing the best restaurants in Ferntree Gully for Turkish comfort food, Kebab Thyme deserves a place on the shortlist. Call +61 1300 532 227, bring your appetite, and stop in for a flavour-packed kebab, gozleme, or HSP with a distinctly Turkish touch.

I’ve order Kebab Thyme over the past couple years as this is one of my local kebab shops and it never disappoints. High quality food with filling portions and friendly staff. The inside of the shop adds a cool vibe that enhances the store overall. Fair prices as well. They also do car shows/meets for any car enthusiasts who love loud cars.
Got 2xH.S.p one small one large. It was the first time I have ordered from this store, the food was delicious, will definitely be coming back. I ordered pick up from uber eats and my order was ready in 10 mins on a Friday night which was a huge bonus.
Kebab Thyme is my absolute go-to spot whenever I’m craving a delicious and satisfying Middle Eastern meal. Tucked away but always bustling with locals who know just how good the food is, it’s no surprise this place is almost always busy — and for all the right reasons. Their Gozleme and falafels are consistently top-notch — fresh, flavourful, and made with care. The falafels are crisp on the outside, soft and fragrant inside, and the Gozleme is generously filled and perfectly golden. Their selection of dips is another highlight — creamy, tangy, and full of bold flavour, they pair beautifully with just about anything on the menu. One of the newest and most welcome additions is their fresh orange juice machine, which pumps out some of the freshest, most refreshing juice you’ll find. It’s a perfect accompaniment to your meal and is also packed up neatly if you’re grabbing takeaway. Speaking of takeaway — they’re usually very busy, especially during peak times, so I highly recommend giving them a call in advance. The friendly staff will take your order over the phone, give you an estimated prep time, and have it ready for pickup — saving you the wait and helping them manage their orders more efficiently. From the warm hospitality to the authentic flavours and now their freshly pressed juice, Kebab Thyme continues to impress on every level. Whether you're dining in or taking it to go, it’s a spot that truly delivers. Highly recommended!
The food was freshly made and absolutely delicious! I tried the Adana kebab, which was perfectly cooked and delicious. The pickle salad was also amazing, it tasted like real pickles, not the sweet kind you usually find in Australia. Everything felt authentic and made with care. I would Highly recommend!
We loved it! It was definitely worth the money. I had a lamb wrap, my daughter got gosleme spinach and feta and my granddaughter got the kids chicken and chips. Also loved the free mentos they give you when you get your food. Definitely recommend 5 stars.
Stopped by Kebab Thyme recently and honestly it was so good. The kebab was packed with flavour, the meat was cooked perfectly, and everything tasted really fresh. The bread was soft, the salad was crisp, and the sauces just brought it all together. What really stood out was how friendly the staff were super welcoming and quick with the order even though it was busy. You can tell they care about the food they’re serving. Definitely one of the better kebabs I’ve had in a while. I’ll 100% be back next time I’m craving a good kebab.
