Our Story:
Located at the heart of CBD, Fattie Prince serves the best Persian dishes.
Our chicken, Lamb, and Beef are 100% Australian, sourced from Australian farmers. At Fattie Prince, caring about great food means caring about every stage of production, which is why we hand-make every menu item every single day to balance flavour and ingredients to perfection.
Since 1995, our chef (FATY) has been serving Persian dishes and she now owns Fattie Prince which has been known as the best Persian restaurant in Melbourne after just 6-months of being open. Here at Fattie Prince managed by Ali Marami, we serve food of the highest quality.
Not only does this apply to our signature Persian Kebab skewers , but also it applies to our Turks Donër Kebabs. Our Lamb Doner Kebab is 100% Australian Lamb (not mixed with anything else – 0% Beef). Every menu item is freshly made every single day.
Is Our Meat Halal?
Yes! It absolutely is. All our meat suppliers are 100% certified Halal. Therefore, our entire menu is Halal. Enjoy your next meal with 100% ease of mind at Fattie Prince!
Do we have vegan or vegetarian options?
Of course! “Sabzworld and Samosas” are our popular vegetarian options on the menu. However, it can also be vegan by swapping the house-made garlic galore sauce with Smoky BBQ or other sauces of your choice! Just let us know and we will take care of you.
Is the food Nut-Free?
While over 80% of our products are nut-free, we do use almond and pistachios in some of our products including “Slow-Cooked Lamb Shank” and “Great Tradition”. Therefore, cross-contamination may occur. We strongly advise you to let us know if you have any allergies prior ordering.
OUR GOOGLE REVIEWS
I loved everything about it the customer service was so warm and welcoming, and the food was honestly delicious. The quality is amazing, and the Joojeh Kabab is a must-try
Thank you so much, Fatty Prince! I’ll definitely be back and next time I’m bringing all my friends 💛
I also ordered Joojeh Kebab with rice. The chicken was very tasty and well-cooked, but the rice was smoky-flavored, not plain. If you don’t like smoky rice, make sure to tell them in advance.
10/10
Started off with the loaded chips, which were easily the highlight — perfectly crisp, evenly salted, and topped with tender meat, salad, and their house-made sauce. The sauce had a creamy, tangy flavour somewhere between a Big Mac sauce and chipotle mayo, tying everything together nicely. Definitely one of the better loaded chips I’ve had in a while.
We also ordered a sandwich, and while the flavour was good — juicy, spiced meat with that signature char — the portion inside was uneven. After a bite or two, the filling thinned out, making the bread-to-meat ratio feel off. Each bite with meat, though, was flavour-packed.
The platter for two ($90) was generous but inconsistent. The koobideh skewers (beef adana style) were nicely seasoned, though slightly dry. The chicken skewers had the yellow Persian-style seasoning but didn’t really shine — the chicken could’ve been juicier. The steak-style meat was very dry and lacked flavour. The lamb cutlets were okay — decent flavour but nothing remarkable. The chicken wings were tasty, though quite oily.
The rice was cooked well — fluffy and aromatic — and the salads were simple, fresh, and a good contrast to the richer meats.
Service was friendly and attentive, giving the restaurant that warm, family-run vibe.
Overall, Fattie Prince has some solid elements, especially the loaded chips, but several proteins could’ve been juicier and more seasoned. Worth trying, but the platter didn’t fully justify the price.
