Mmmmmm. My favorite dish is the combo. It's chicken and gyro over rice. It comes with a small side salad. I think it's just lettuce, tomato and cucumber. However, sometimes I see pickles in there. I always order some pickles and [red] onion on the side. I am not sure but I think the onion is mixed with a bit of sumac. Whenever I cook at home and prep a side of onions for kebaps, I add tons of sumac and parsley to the onion mix. Maybe that's why I can't really taste it in their mix. My boyfriend and I used to drive all the way down to their UT location prior to their Braker Ln location opening. The drive was always worth it. Seems like this newer place is short on staff. I know they were quite busy during Ramadan and all but now that it's over, there are times when the line is quite long. I don't think it has anything to do with the cooks nor food preps, rather the cashier and/or person taking the orders. I tried calling in on two occasions to place an order for pick up and no one answered the phone. Another time after waiting in line, once it was my turn to order I had to wait while the register was used by another person because he was ringing up a pick up order. I see two registers on their counter but sometimes two people share one. One looks older than the other and I have never seen it being used. Does it work? If not, just get rid of it :-p But I digress, once an order is placed the wait is usually not very long. The staff is always very friendly and quickly give you extra stuff (yogurt sauce, hot sauce, extra pickles etc) upon request without giving you a look. Y'all know what 'look' I'm talking 'bout. The one you see at other places where they either charge for extra stuff or give you just enough to shut you up but with a look that makes you feel you're being a cheap, greedy f*ck if you ask for more but deep down you know you'd like more. You should try their mint lemonade (made in-house) at least once - it's quite refreshing. P.s. the pic of the combo I posted only contains gyro meat, no chicken. It's also missing their signature yogurt sauce and hot sauce. That dish was for my two kids (forgot to mention their portions are very generous). I quickly scarfed mine down too and again, like it often happens, forgot to take a pic of my food. read more

Halal Bros - Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm writing this review because I'm still standing in line for food. It's been about 30 minutes since I placed the order at the kiosk. I came here for a quick grab and go lunch because it was near the office. Simple order: Chicken sharwarma wrap with French fries. Granted, I came during the lunch rush, but this is the 2nd time this has happened. People also waiting in line ahead of me keep asking where their orders are too. If I ever get my food I'll maybe update my review, but for now, this is a 1-star and a guarantee that I will never be back again (and will be telling my friends to stay away). read more

Great place! Very filling. But does anybody know if they have the nutrition online?? And what is the "white sauce"?? It's all very good! I would just like to know the nutrition! Thanks read more

Absolutely love the chicken kebab. This not a 5 minute turn around type of place but the wait is most definitely worth it. I would suggest ordering before you arrive. Definitely a must have at least once a month due to a few reasons. The plate is over $10 and the location is a bit out of my way. It did inspire me to make my own at home and hopefully with some more visits and practice I might get down. The service inside is a bit on the low side not as friendly as Chick-fil-A but who can meet those standards right? This is my go to Mediterranean food. I love these guys and visit multiple locations which super awesome to have that option. read more

Halal Bros - Chicken Kebab over Rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Falafel without the white sauce is the way to go for y'all vegans out there. It's pretty good, but tbh I feel like the frozen falafels from Trader Joe's taste better. But it's pretty filling and can last you 2 meals! read more

Love this place! I frequently call in an order of the chicken Shawarma or the chicken Shawarma wrap with the delicious sauce. Ingredients are always fresh the pita is out of this world. Everyone that works there is always very friendly and working fast to get your food order ready. I specially appreciate how consistent it is so always in a pinch I know I can get what is considered a fast prepared food, but is really a great meal that you get really fast! Big difference in my opinion. read more

HALAL !!!!!! daaang it this place is ridiculously delicious and VERY reasonably priced. It's a quick, clean and friendly environment. The portions are beyond the pricing. like whoa! I like the spicy red sauce. I asked for sauce on the side as thy can be a bit heavy handed with it. Do not like my wrap soggy. But for certain get extra red sauce. yummy. The hummus is very delicious- I like to take it home and eat it with veggies as they only offer pita bread. The house made lemonade is super tasty- very well balanced. You can order online and pick it up- or have it delivered. They got you covered. Very much looking forward to returning. So, so tasty. And fresh! read more

Was in Austin for work and hit up this joint for lunch. Looks like they just opened recently and it was pretty packed. It was fairly quick and efficient but seating was a bit difficult. Would be great if they added some outdoor tables. Anyhow, I ordered the chicken over rice and it was spectacular. Full of flavor, spices and cooked to perfection. Portions were large and I couldn't stop eating :) Most of the rice dishes come with a salad. Hint: Get the white and red sauce bottles to add a punch to your meal. I wish we had this place back home, enjoy it! read more

Halal Bros - Chicken over Rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

ok, it took me a while to actually try this place. it's right by a subway and i dunno, i just didn't get around to trying anything new... but for real though. this is my new comfort food. let's talk about rice. rice is stupid and boring, right? WRONG! it's buttery and flavorful with hints of cardamom. halal, what's up with that? is it camel? NO! It's freaking delicious with rich seasonings and perfectly grilled with little crispy bits. it's cheap, it's a big pile of food, it's delicious. try it. if you hate it, give it to me. read more

Good fresh food. Portions are well worth the price. Order ahead to avoid waiting. Be prepared with multiple types of payments due to system errors. read more

Stopped here for lunch on our way to Dallas. Lovely minimalist decor with white walls and green plants. Their logo is splashed boldly over the wall. The food is flavorful and moist. Tried the combo plate and the shawarma plate and both rocked. The portion sizes are plenty to curb any kind of hunger. The prices are very reasonable. Also tried the Maine Root Sodas for the first time and really enjoyed them. Overall a must try if you are in the area. read more

We ate here last night and it was so good! I got the chicken kabob over rice and wife got the chicken shwarma over rice. Both were delicious. Love the hot sauce! The portions were big, I actually turned mine into 2 meals and it's just as good the second time around. I now what to try everything once. Really good flavor. The lack of the star comes from their website not being the greatest. There are typos and not much there. There is more information once you start placing the order, which is good, but I'm sure some people are deterred away from it not knowing they'll get answers if they just order. For instance the ingredients and such, or what the side salad all includes (We aren't fans of pickles and they're on the salad). Also, the baklava, though delicious, it's a bit small. For me it was 2 bites. If they mske their own phylo dough, then I guess it's understandable, but im assuming they don't. And that dough is a pain in the butt to work with, but it's not too bad and it should last a while, so I'd like a larger portion so that it's closer to 4 bites, or just a littlecheaper so we can buy 2 per person. It is tasty though! read more

My boyfriend and I go-to spot! You get a huge amount of great tasting food for a pretty low price. The servers/cooks have always remembered us and strike up a conversation, which always feels good. We bring our family and friend when they visit because its THAT good. read more

Got in right before they closed on a Saturday night. Fortunately they let us ordered and enjoyed our food. We probably stayed about 10-15 minutes after they were closed and they eventually told us to leave. Understandable and I am glad they at least let us finish our food. I ordered the Beef Shawarma Wrap and ugh, so good. Absolutely what I was craving and it did not disappoint. However it was not as filling as I would like. Next time I would get it over rice as the portions are much larger and it's only a $1 difference. read more

I wish I lived closer to this place. They are the best halal I've found. There are other good options but each ingredient they use is just that much better than the other guys. Better rice, better lamb, better, pickles makes the whole meal really stand out. Plus one time when I was there I saw a guy using two forks at the same time. You really can't beat that. read more

Spicy and delicious and will leave you craving more. Make sure if you want the sauce on the side for a To Go that you check on that before you leave because they often forget. But the food is packed with flavor and you'll definitely find yourself wanting to come back again. read more

EXQUISITE!! I'm here from Dearborn, MI. Also from Jordan by way of Kuwait, so I've had my share of falafel and falafel wraps/pita . This place has it going for them! Love, love, LOVED every bit of the food we got! It was so fresh and so tasty that I will be back before leaving Austin!!. I'm so glad I was in the area and got to try HALAL BROS!! Also, we had delivery, was quick and it wasn't soggy or anything, very fresh still!! Thank you! read more

Wow, just wow! If you haven't been to this place....stop what you are doing and go now!!! Very reasonable prices, good food and friendly staff. We had to wait a bit for our order but it was worth it!!! I will be a repeat customer! read more

Food is good. And would recommend this to anyone. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I would use less rice and give more meat and sides. Other than that place is amazing. read more

Have never been location, only DoorDash, have ordered about 8-10 times. The food is beyond amazing. Literally the best rice I've ever had. Lamb is so flavorful. Gyros perfect. Can't say enough good things about this place. Highly recommend!! read more

Okay, I like both these openings, so pick one & ignore the other: 1. "Move over, Sharif - there's a new Halal in town." 2. "Is Halal the Arabic word for ramen? Because another one just opened in Austin." ************************ Yepsters, it's the same bros from the downtown truck and the brick & mortar on Guadalupe - I asked. But the difference is when you find this place behind the Walgreens on Braker & Metric you'll think, "Damn, it's easy to park here!" Oh quit whining & enjoy the food. Because this place is all about being cheap & good. Personally, I'm a bigger fan of Asian over Middle Eastern, but there ain't no denying these bros are flying. The usual kebab & shawarma suspects, and the most expensive items are the meaty $9 "over rice" entrées. My $6.50 falafel over rice was way enough food for two. Bear in mind it's all paper & plastic here, and you may feel the need to reminisce over your high school cafeteria. Our counter person was new but totally sweet - when she didn't know something, she asked. That's all I can ask. Oh, and maybe for some more hummus. These Halal Bros knock that stuff out of the park. read more

I had the other location bookmarked for a long time so I'm really happy that they opened up... Just right down the street from me! What a lot of food for a little price...I had a huge falafel wrap for $5.50...It was sooo good. I honestly did not even need to eat the side of hummus (ordered separately) with pita bread but I did ;) My friend met me there and he ordered the falafel over the yellow rice and a side of Tabouleh. Sooo filling...so good and inexpensive. Also based on the location, I can see myself coming here regularly. read more

Their food was very tasty and healthy. Delivery person never rang the front doorbell.

Been eating Halal Bros since 2011 when they were just a good truck on the corner of 7th and Red River. After more than 20+ gyro over rice plates at the food truck and at this Braker location, it is by far our GO-TO place for middle eastern fast food. read more

Yum! This was our first time here and without a doubt will be back. I had the falafel over rice which was very flavorful. I love the fresh salad on the side! The workers were very friendly and were able to accommodate my husband with his dietary issues. Loved the location - up north, out of downtown madness with plenty of parking. Brand new building with lots of seating. If you're still reading and not in your car driving here already - please seek medical care. read more

So amazingly good! Tried another similar place and it was no where near as good as Halal Bros. Tastes very authentic.

I had no idea this place was even here. A friend suggested it as a quick drop in when we were hungry, not wanting to resort to fast food and also not spend a ton of time and money. Fresh, Fresh, Fresh, salads, veggies, lemonade. Yummmm! Great staff, and I will be stopping by here regularly to pick lazy dinners. You want it hot, add sauce...you want it just right, leave the default sauce. You want some damn good fresh lamb, gyro, chicken, etc., then you won't go wrong here. I really like seeing these businesses thriving. 1. They are serving a healthier food, still good, which we all need. 2. They are contributing to centex wide variety of flavors served from lands all over the world. Love this joint, you will too, and you will walk away FULL without spending a lot. B-b-bb-ba-bonus! read more

I LOVE this place. As I've moved up north after graduating, I haven't had as much of a chance to visit the campus location. This new location is great! Lots of parking, great location, lots of space, and they give big portions! If you are around the Domain area, you should come here as it is as good as it gets. Some things in Austin are overhyped and overcrowded, but this is not one of those places. This is a true hidden gem. I got the lamb over rice and the loaded fries. They were on point and I will be coming here again. If you've never been to Halal Bros, then what you'll appreciate is the fresh food and the balance variety of food you get in each bite. Every "over rice" plate comes with yellow rice, meat, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, white sauce, and red sauce. It is SO good. Usually I can't finish and have to save the other half for another meal :). The loaded are fresh hot fries smothered in white and red sauce with ketchup. I highly recommend getting some to share with the table. Will come back again. read more

I have given this place plenty chances to correct themselves. But the last order was beyond all the expectations. I understand it's pandemic and we are helping each other and I truly support my local businesses. I ordered a gyro wrap which was soaked and liquified, besides the meat, everything was blahhhh...I ordered chicken kebab over rice which came with less than half of the usual quantity of rice, chicken half way done and molded, yes! Molded salad!! The 3rd item was lamb over salad. The meat was done, but the salad was old and molded... they used to add some small amount of chick peas paste in there to make It look all appealing and eatable. This time everything was just thrown in there...We are not pigs, we work as hard as you people... and I paid a fair amount for 3 meals. I had to work , so I wasn't able to return them. I submitted a refund request through their website explaining what the issues were and I never heard back from them. How can you even sell such meals??? I ask you to put yourself in our places and tell me how would you feel being served with molded food!?!? It's not the first time my order was a mess up, I used to visit this place weekly... one time I've awaited 47 min for the food to get ready. Once it was ready, I took my child to the restroom, to wash hands, I made sure the table was neat and that it looked like someone was sitting there, my food was covered with a napkin and my water can was covered as well. We came back 2 min later and the food was gone!! Someone threw it away, despite of the fact that they saw us awaiting there for a long time and we just opened the box with food... we had to wait another 50 min for the next food to be made... Another time all the chicken on top of the rice was burned. I took the plate back and asked them to redo it... And the small salad mix that they prepare sometimes they charge you for it, sometimes they don't. Depends on the cashier.... my regular plate chicken kebab over rice was sometimes $9, some other times $11... rarely I paid the same amount for my regular plate!. This place started as a very promising and neat place, affordable; now the prices increase daily, the food is less appealing... read more

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was used to very good non-American food, but the reviews here drew me in. I had the beef shawarma plate, extra pita bread and the house-made lemonade. The plate was very, very (very!) good - meat was tender, rice was great and their white sauce was a very good compliment to everything. The pita bread was hot and moist, and the house lemonade was wonderful - a very nice surprise! They serve Maine Root soft drinks, which I'm not fond of, so the lemonade was a great option. The restaurant was busy at lunch, so it did take a while to get our food, but it was worth the wait. Next time I'm in Austin, I will absolutely be back! read more

Austin doesn't have a huge halal scene, so as far as halal goes, this place is super solid. Chicken over rice tasted exactly how it should!

Phenomenal food! Small place with big heart and big flavors. I've already been back twice and they'll see me again and again. Hidden gem!

Finally ordered my first halal in TX. I had chicken, beef, and lamb combo over salad. It's at the very least as great as the best ones in NY. It easily matches the quality offered by NY's Halal Brothers and Hamza & Madina. The way the salad was prepared is better than all the others I have tasted. The hot sauce did not kill me and so it was a winner to mix more generously with the combo. Kudos. So far this is the best halal I have tasted in TX. read more

Well, I'll just start off by saying that I quite like this place. Now that that's out of the way. I think the campus location is better. Fingers crossed that this place becomes on par with the other location! I had discovered the opening of this through one of those 'check out these new places' emails from Yelp. The one time I was glad I clicked on automated emails! Yay, Yelp! So I quickly moseyed in to try some food. I got the chicken and lamb over rice. Needless to say again, it was good. Just go! And get extra white sauce! Oh, and maybe skip the loaded fries... read more

I almost don't even want to write this review! Not because Halal Bros is bad, in fact the opposite! I've taken a contract nearby, and it turns out that Halal Bros is within walking distance from my office at the moment. The dining room is clean, the staff is knowledgeable and inviting. However the best part of Halal Bros, is the food! Yesterday, I tried their Falafel wrap special, which comes with chips and a drink. The food was made fresh, but also fast (I have an hour for lunch, but had to walk to/from the storefront). That first bite was just heavenly! Lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumber, with both a spicy and a white sauce, all on a bed of falafel and warm pita. Today, I tried out their online order system, to schedule my lunch! This meant I was able to completely customize my order, pickup location (there is one at Breaker, and one on Guadalupe who accept scheduled orders), and pay for it, all in advance. I avoided the line completely, and enjoyed the extra time basking in the early Austin spring. This will surely be a favorite, for as long as I continue to work in this area! read more
