BIGGIE SMALLS KBABS, 86 Smith Street, Collingwood, 9417 3531. Daily lunch and dinner
Shane Delia's party-hard diner updates the whole meat-wrapped-in-bread concept. Try the "East Coast" with maple-glazed pulled pork, crackling and peanut butter hummus, washed down with a gin 'n' juice.
LEZZET, 81 Brighton Road, Elwood, 9531 7733. Sat-Sun brunch, Tues-Sun dinner
The modern Turkish menu makes much use of a wood oven. Anatolian lamb is cooked for 18 hours and served with fig and date jus, and a vegetarian claypot is topped with smoked eggplant bechamel.
TAHINA, 223 High Street, Northcote, 9972 1479. Daily lunch and dinner
Tel Aviv street food has hit High Street. Everything is vegetarian: try the shakshuka (baked eggs; vegans can have it with eggplant instead) and the falafel (either green with herbs, or red with chilli).
