Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page answers a narrow question: where near Lower Plenty can you find a Greek dish we have actually checked? The honest answer is one place and one dish, so this is a short page rather than a list padded to look bigger.
The place is Carluccis on James Street in Templestowe, just over the suburb line. We confirmed it against OpenStreetMap and its own website, then copied the gyros price from the menu file the venue publishes.
We have not verified any other Greek menu in the area, so we have not listed one.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lamb gyros, charcoal spit | Carluccis | Charcoal Spit Lamb Gyros | $36 |
Carluccis — 134 James Street, Templestowe VIC 3106
Gyros (pronounced yee-ros) is meat cooked on a vertical spit, shaved off in slices and usually served with bread, salad and sauce, and it is one of the best-known dishes of Greek cooking. Carluccis is filed as an Italian restaurant, so this is a single Greek-style dish on a mostly Italian menu rather than a Greek kitchen. The menu file we read prints Charcoal Spit Lamb Gyros at $36, so open the menu file linked below for what comes with it before you book around it. The menu file is the one the site names as its August 2025 prices, and the site carries no clearer date, so treat the menu as a guide and check it is current.
On the menu (copied from carluccistemplestowe.com.au/Menu-Prices-Aug-2025_Carlucciscomau_.pdf on 9 October 2026):
- Charcoal Spit Lamb Gyros: $36
- Truffle, Parmesan & Mushroom Risotto (V) (GF) (VGO): $31
- Lasagne Bolognese or Vegetarian: $25
On the menu: the printed line reads Charcoal Spit Lamb Gyros, and the menu has no separate Greek section.
Quick answers
Where can I get lamb gyros near Lower Plenty?
The one place we could verify is Carluccis at 134 James Street, Templestowe. Its published menu file prints Charcoal Spit Lamb Gyros at $36, and the venue’s own website and OpenStreetMap both place it at that address.
Is Carluccis a Greek restaurant?
Not as far as we could tell. We have it filed as an Italian restaurant, and the gyros is one dish on a menu that also lists risotto and lasagne. That is why this page is about one dish rather than a whole cuisine.
What time is Carluccis open?
Its website says “Open 7 days, 8am till late”, and also says breakfast runs from 8:30am, lunch from 11:30 and the kitchen is open until 9pm. OpenStreetMap lists daily hours of 08:00 to 22:00, so the two sources differ on closing time and a call ahead is worthwhile.
Are there other Greek restaurants near Lower Plenty?
There may be, but we could not verify another Greek menu for this page, so we have not named one. Carluccis in Templestowe is the only place here whose published menu we read and whose price we copied.
