Correction (5 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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Fifteen dollars still buys a feed in Mernda if you read the price board. This page lists items printed under fifteen dollars at four counters, all with Mernda addresses, and links the page each price was copied from. Every entry finishes with its move.
Know where the prices come from. Souvlaki GR’s come from its chain-wide menu pages, not a Mernda-only board. Zet & Zaatar’s come from the Mernda store’s own online-order page. Prices change, so ask at the counter. Keen to go late? The Seven Star ordering page prints hours to 3:00am.

Souvlaki GR — Shop 6/1435 Plenty Rd, Mernda VIC 3754
Souvlaki GR’s site lists its hours as Mon - Sun: 11am - 9pm. Its Value Range page prints Chicken & Chips at $12, and its souvlakia page prints a Mini Chicken Souvlaki at $7.90. A souvlaki is skewered meat, usually served in pita, a Greek takeaway staple. The menu also prints Falafel (v), (ve) at $13.90 and the Kids Souvlaki Meal at $12, listed as Kids Souvlaki, Chips and a Fruit Juice. Those four are under the line.
Two printed prices are over it: Savva Special at $16.90 and Chicken Club at $18. The site says ‘100% Halal Friendly’ and lists Delivery, Takeaway and Dine-in.
On the menu (copied from souvlakigr.com.au/10-value-range and souvlakigr.com.au/souvlakia on 5 October 2026):
- Chicken & Chips (Value Range): $12
- Mini Chicken Souvlaki: $7.90
- Falafel (v), (ve): $13.90
- Kids Souvlaki Meal: $12
The move: the Chicken & Chips from the Value Range at $12 keeps you under the line with room to spare.
Zet & Zaatar Bakery (Mernda Town Centre) — T36/180 Riverdale Boulevard, Mernda VIC 3754
Zet & Zaatar’s Mernda store prints Zaatar at $3.50, Cheese Pie at $5.50, Hot Dog at $6.90 and Sujuk, Egg and Cheese at $8.50 on its online-order menu page. Plain Eggs at $11.90 and Long Black at $4.00 are printed there too. The Mernda Town Centre directory lists the hours as ‘Everyday - 6:30am - 4:00pm’.
Zaatar is a herb-and-spice blend, and in a Lebanese bakery it is the classic topping for baked flatbread. The menu line only says Zaatar, so ask what it comes on.
On the menu (copied from zetandzaatar.com.au/menu-6 on 5 October 2026):
- Zaatar: $3.50
- Cheese Pie: $5.50
- Hot Dog: $6.90
- Sujuk, Egg and Cheese: $8.50
The move: pair Zaatar at $3.50 with a Long Black at $4.00 and you are still well under the line.
Seven Star Pizza Pasta & Grill — Shop 4/1435 Plenty Rd, Mernda VIC 3754

Over the line: Traditional Parma at $24.90, Alla Matriciana Pasta at $18.90 and Mexican Loaded Fries at $16.90. The site says ‘Come down to Seven Stars for a casual dine in or a quick takeaway’, and AGFG tags it Takeaway, Delivery and Child Friendly.

- Sweet Potato Chips: $8.90
