Souvlaki Masters in Prebbleton has quickly become our go-to spot, hands down the best souvlaki in Christchurch! Every bite is packed with flavour, made with fresh, top quality ingredients and just the right amount of spice. Since discovering it, we’ve become regulars, and the service never disappoints, always friendly, and genuinely accommodating. One of the little touches I appreciate? They always serve my lovely wife first, smart man. The space itself is clean, spacious, and perfect for dining in. Trust me, the short drive out to Prebbleton is worth it!

Amazing. Pita bread was absolutely to die for. Warm, fluffy melt in your mouth Pita.... just something I haven't been able to find for so many years..... it was a craving, an itch that needed to be scratched and it was at Souvalaki Masters I found it. We both had a Chicken Souvalaki each, one with hummus and one without for my misso. The first bite nearly made me drool (like head back Homer Simpson style), it was oozing with flavour and it made my mouth full from the pure juices of my salivary glands. The Bok Bok was cooked to perfection, succulent and tender as to be expected from such a fine specimen. The salads inside this absolute beauty of a Souvalaki were fresh, tasty and yes I said it.... healthy. I couldn't flaw anything about it.... I just thought 'man I wish I had enough room to fit another!' This crew were friendly and always smiling. I mean how often to you go to a kebab shop and they are ya know... kinda rude?? Trust me, these guys weren't. They were chatty, bubbly and even gave us a Turkish delight each! We had just a standard size and the portion was enough to feed me for the night, a gym going active man who loves his food...... this is a meal!! And for the price it's worth every cent! The place was clean... that clean, that if they "accidentally" dropped a mighty Souva on the ground I would not hesitate to offer my cleaning services via Tongue and Mouth!! Now I'm no rookie to the Souva tasting experience.... and me new friends at Souvalaki Masters have taken the top prize for me. Will be back!! Please keep up the good work!! 06/03/2024 *UPDATE* + MORE PHOTOS Just as good as the first time. This time was a Chicken and Lamb and a Small Pocket Pita for the misso.... yes without hummus. We also got to try the Donut which was absolutely epic and doesn't disappoint. Donut on fleek. Thanks again for round 2 28/03/24 Celebrating End of Financial Year and Easter with another Souvalaki from the best. This time added on some chippies.... mate.... seagulls would die a happy death over these bad boys! The chips were fantastic and the seasoning left me salivating. Hands down I'm so stoked these guys are in Prebbleton. I need to buy some shares here!! They even gave me a nice we treat and Easter message (photo added).... very kind! Thank you once again. Must be at least round 12

I decided to try Souvlaki Master's for lunch after my dr's appointment today and what an amazing lunch it was. I had the large chicken Souvlaki with medium spice and all the other good things that come with it. YUM! Absolutely delicious! The customer service was amazing too, as soon as I walked through the door I was greeted with a genuine and friendly smile. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in Prebbleton. 5 stars all round, good first impressions, friendly 5 star service and delicious food. Keep up the amazing work! UPDATE: 30/08/2025 Note: We've ordered food a few times (as well as tonight) since I posted my first review, so it only makes sense to update it. When our family is craving kebabs for dinner, Souvlaki Master's is always our top choice. We've tried other places since our last visit and while they're nice, Souvlaki Master's to us is just the best! The customer service is always amazing, the food is top quality, and I always make sure to ask for extra satay sauce because it's that good. The location is pretty good too, and parking's not too bad when it's not super busy in the area. Overall, Souvlaki Master's is our go-to for a reason - it's just the best kebabs in town!

I have ever only left one Google review previously, so for me to write one, I am seriously impressed. We regularly get souvlakis here (better than fish and chips) and over several months, they are consistently the best. Quality has never faltered. The staff are lovely, have a fun vibe, always appear to be enjoying themselves and work quickly. We've never waited more than 10-15 minutes and the outlet is always immaculate. Well done

These guys had 5 stars before I even tasted the food! And the great news is that the food confirmed 5 stars! I ordered online but chose the wrong sauce. Once I had arrived, they happily switched it and suggested to drop the other sauce so it would taste better “trust me” they said “you’re going to love it”… and I did! But I also loved the friendly service just as much. You can tell they are great humans. Portions are generous and price reasonable.
