7 Years of Little Bad Wolf: From One Dream to Two Bold Locations

Seven years ago, Little Bad Wolf Noble Park opened its doors with one big dream: to create a space where food wasn’t just served, it was remembered. What started as a passion project between siblings Rainy and Kartik quickly grew into one of the go-to destinations for Mediterranean flavours, loved for its flavour, energy and unmistakable warmth.

Today, that dream is stronger than ever.

The Beginning: A Family Vision Built on Flavour

In 2017, Rainy and Kartik took over Little Bad Wolf with a vision to bring something bold and authentic to the food scene. Together, they poured their heart, hustle, and heritage into every plate, transforming a local spot into a top-rated restaurant in Noble Park, known for its skewers, gyros, and feel-good vibe.

In the early days, there were long nights, big ideas and plenty of elbow grease. It wasn’t easy. But with the support of Suzie, the founder who trusted them to carry the torch, and a loyal local community, the dream didn’t just survive. It grew.

What’s Changed Since Then? Just About Everything.

Kartik, who initially helped build the foundation of Little Bad Wolf, returned to the business around six months before the Croydon opening. Today, he works alongside Rainy to help oversee both restaurants, supporting the head chefs and managers across the two locations. His experience, eye for detail and strong connection to the original vision have made a massive impact as the brand continues to grow.

And while leadership has evolved, the heartbeat of each store remains strong.

Hardik, who managed the Noble Park location before Croydon opened, helped set the standard for what Little Bad Wolf is known for: smooth service, consistency and genuine hospitality. These days, Noble Park is in the capable hands of PJ, who brings the same calm, committed energy to running day-to-day operations.

The team has grown, but the spirit of Little Bad Wolf is still the same: passionate people serving great food with heart.

Rainy has evolved, too. These days, she’s not just a business owner; she’s a strong mother of three, juggling life, leadership, and two thriving restaurants with heart and grace. Her passion for creating something meaningful is at the core of everything Little Bad Wolf stands for.

The Expansion: Hello Croydon

In April 2024, Little Bad Wolf opened a second location in Croydon, bringing that same bold energy to the East. Sitting proudly on Main Street, the Croydon restaurant has become a go-to destination for locals seeking family-friendly restaurants, halal food, or simply a great place to eat, offering a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

Now, with two locations, the brand continues to grow, but the mission remains the same: to create great food, welcome everyone in, and never lose sight of where it all started.

Why People Keep Coming Back

It’s the consistency, the high-quality Mediterranean food, and the feeling that every time you walk in, you know exactly why you came back.

Whether you're hunting for good Greek food, Mediterranean takeaway, burgers and cocktails (Croydon only), or family-friendly restaurants in Croydon or Noble Park, Little Bad Wolf is the kind of place where flavour always leads.

It’s not just about what’s on the plate. It’s about the people behind it.

Thank You for 7 Incredible Years

From that very first day to now, Little Bad Wolf has been fueled by people, by the families who come in every Friday, the couples who had their first date over a mixed grill, the regulars who always know their order, and the team who show up every day to make it all happen.

To Rainy, Kartik and the entire LBW crew, this anniversary isn’t just a milestone. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when passion meets purpose.

Here’s to 7 bold years, and to everything still to come.
