The time-honoured Australian tradition of ordering a small serving of chips and receiving enough to feed a family of four, wrapped in white paper, continues at The Yeeros Shop.
The takeaway restaurant opened back in 1968 under the ownership of Greek expat Yiannis Benetos, then passed onto Stamatios (Steve) “Taki” Plangetis, who ran the business with his family for more than 30 years before Poppy Papadopoulos and former staffer Kostas Tomaras took the reins in the 2010s.
Despite the changing hands, The Yeeros Shop remains famously cash-only (there is an ATM inside), with $6 hand-cut chips and spit-roasted beef, lamb or chicken yeeros in a large pita with salad for $15. As a bonus, it’s open until 11pm (and midnight for takeaway) daily – a rarity in Marrickville.
