The Original Yiros House - Adelaide

Good burger, chips and hot dog. This place served halal food. There's kebab and falafel too. Nearby to other eateries. There's seats in the shop and outside too. Friendly staff. Only few car parking place along the street. There's more near the park which is about 150m away.

If this place was closer to my work I would legitimately have it for lunch every day until I die. To be fair, it's probably a good thing it's not closer but it's still amazing. Extra bonus is spending time scouring the photos on the wall to see if I recognise anyone while I wait for my food.

Dropped by for some late night bites. My falafel was served up warmed with a bit of hummus. It was alright. It was decently fluffy and well seasoned but it wasn't crispy at all. I also got a serving of chips. It was just seasoned with chicken salt so it didn't taste that spectacular, but they had fantastic texture - very crispy and not overly greasy.

I never call a place disgusting, but I'm willing to make an exception for The Original Yiros House. Firstly, the employee uses the exact same glove on his left hand and his bare right hand to: handle the yiros wrap, the salad, the meat, the microwave (yes the microwave does more cooking than the grill), the Eftpos machine and any cash handed to him. His glove and hand literally looked like he has been doing so the whole day. Secondly, the meat came from a metal bucket enclosed with a lid and needed to be reheated before serving. The tomatoes were green, the lettuce was bruised, and the store bought wrap came from an expired pack (expired 3 days ago), so I guess freshness isn't on their tick list. Lastly the meat is chewy, bland and oily (probably from a result of storing meat in a bucket for long periods of time). Feel free to come here if disgusting hygiene and food standards are attractive to you because you can get all that for the price of an overpriced yiros. Sometimes "original" does not mean good.
