CONVENIENCE, lifestyle and lattes. That could be the catchphrase for Carnegie, a small suburb in Melbourne’s south east that is punching well above its weight — and the state’s average — when it comes to location and livability factors.

Specialising in Korean-style chicken, Gami began in 2006 with the founder ‘Yoon’ in Carnegie. With years of hands on experience with Korean cuisine, Yoon decided to focus on perfecting a recipe for fried chicken & sauces, and sharing one of his country’s favourite foods to the world.

Now, Gami has grown to 12 outlets operating in Victoria, serving hand-cut chemical-free and cage-free chicken served with locally grown vegetables, fruits and herbs.

It is with great sadness that we see an icon of Carnegie closing it’s doors. The Little Shop is saying farewell to Carnegie at the end of July. A massive closing down sale is currently on with offers of up to 50% on all merchandise.
