About Cafe 26 Arndell Park

Come Friday lunchtime in Arndell Park, the smoke from the charcoal spit out front signals serious Cypriot-style souvla. Regulars know the drill: skip the guesswork and let the host carve hot lamb or chicken straight off the coals while sorting out your plate with warm pita, chips, and fresh tzatziki.

  • Friday Charcoal Souvla: Lamb and chicken rotate over live coals out front every Friday lunchtime, carved fresh to order.
  • Hands-On Hospitality: Guests often receive a freshly carved cut of meat straight from the spit while the host sorts out orders.
  • Industrial Park Fuel: Substantial plates of yeeros, burgers, and breakfast staples cater to the local business park trade.

Why Choose Cafe 26

Authentic Greek charcoal barbecue and warm Mediterranean hospitality in Arndell Park

  • Live Friday Souvla Spit Barbecue

    Cafe 26 operates a traditional outdoor rotisserie every Friday, slow-cooking marinated meats over open coals for lunchtime guests.

    Fridays don't get any better than finding Alpy on the tools cooking up a traditional souvla, which you don't find anywhere unless you are invited to a Cypriots backyard!!

Beyond the menu

Signature host interactions and traditional culinary touches that elevate the Cafe 26 experience

  • Spit-Side Meat Tastings

    On Friday barbecue days, the owner personally takes guests outside to the outdoor rotisserie and cuts hot samples straight from the spit for them to taste before ordering.

  • Personal Host Meal Recommendations

    Rather than standard transactional order-taking, the host takes time to personally consult, recommend, or curate tailored meal selections for guests.

  • Tableside Floor Check-Ins

    The owner walks the floor across tables during breakfast and lunch service to check in directly with patrons and verify every dish meets standards.

  • Four-Day Spit Marinade

    Meats for the Friday barbecue rotisserie are pre-marinated across four days prior to roasting over open coals out front.
