Yiros & Chicken on Charcoal @ Cliff Avenue

Yiros & Chicken on Charcoal is a takeaway shop on Cliff Avenue in Port Noarlunga South doing what the name promises: chicken cooked over real coals rather than a rotisserie, plus lamb yiros, big chip serves and Greek packs. It runs from 11:30am daily, until just before 8pm most nights.

The dog setup

This is a counter-service shop, not a sit-down cafe. Dogs are welcome at the limited outdoor footpath seating while you wait for or eat your order. The space is tight, so keep the lead short and your dog out of the walkway. No water bowls have been confirmed on site, so bring your own. Think of it as a fast takeaway stop on a coastal walk rather than a destination in itself.

Worth knowing

The charcoal flavour is the whole point, and the portions are generous: chicken and lamb yiros are the movers, with chips and pineapple fritters filling out the order. Service is friendly and quick. Mid-morning or early afternoon beats the weekend rush, and if the footpath seating is busy it is an easy eat-nearby arrangement instead.

Getting there and parking

The address is Unit 1/56 Cliff Avenue, Port Noarlunga South, about 40 minutes south of Adelaide. Free street parking sits on Cliff Avenue, with a trail carpark a little further north. Access from the street to the counter is flat and easy, which makes a dog-in-tow pickup simple.

Close by with the dogs

Port Noarlunga Beach and the Onkaparinga River Reserve trails are a short walk or drive for the post-yiros stretch. If you want a proper sit-down stop instead, Boy & Bloom is just up the same street, and Coffee Factory Cafe is the other local option.

More options are on the South Australian dog friendly cafes guide and the Port Noarlunga South destination page.
