Ok it is time to talk about the Ribovlaki, a huge tasty creation by Third Wave BBQ and we were the first to do it.

The Ribovlaki is such a unique dinning experience which can either be taken on by two people or ONE very hungry person, and trust us, this happens QUITE OFTEN.

What is in the Ribovlaki?

It is time for us to break down this marvellous creation.

FIRST, we create a unique souvlaki that is a GIGANTIC fluffy pita is stuffed with slow smoked beef rib, smoked lamb shoulder and BBQ CHICKEN. If that’s not enough already it also has cheese sauce, garlic sauce and Third Wave BBQ’s famous BBQ sauce. It also has chips, tomatoes and onion rings. This souvlaki itself is GIGANTIC and the HUGE beef rib is why we call it the RIBOVLAKI. RIb Souvlaki… get it?

Is that all?

Is that all? Really? While you might get chips for a normal souvlaki, this Ribovlaki itself comes with a mini HSP On the side. That is tangy beer battered fries, smoked lamb and sauces. We then bring it to your table and serve it to you SMOKING.

The Ribovlaki was once a unique monthly special from Third Wave BBQ, which would have ended at the end of the month. This special was actually wildly popular so we brought it back as a permanent menu item, much to the happiness of everybody eating at Third Wave BBQ. You can see the full menu here.

As you are served your Ribovlaki, it is served in a smoking manor which turns this food into a miniature theatre experience. This is why this item has become one of the most popular dishes on our menu.
