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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Fifteen dollars is a real budget, and it goes furthest when you read the price board item by item. This page covers four takeaway shops, one in Wollert and three in Mernda, so it is in and around the suburb.
The prices quoted are single menu items printed on each shop’s page, copied as printed. Souvlaki GR’s prices come from the brand’s national menu page rather than a Mernda-only list, and a deal that runs past the mark is flagged as such.
