The wrap also had a thin white sauce. Mamoud was fast and very personable. There is no seating. Therefore, this primarily a grab and go business unless you want to eat in your car. In the fall months, this would likely be fine. However, in Texas in the summer, you will likely pass out before you got to eat your meal.

There is no place to sit so you're definitely taking your food to go. I got the Italian beef shawarma plate. This was a very fun take on the classic Italian beef sandwich. The beef was tender and the combinations of flavors were unique. I detected another meat in there, though? It tasted like there was also some goat mixed in with the beef which wasn't a problem for me, but might be for you. There wasn't a whole lot of it, but it definitely had that tangy, gamy flavor that marks out goat. The sandwich was delicious. They're open late which is great because I often work late and am too tired to do much else. It's been over a week now since I went and I'm still thinking about that food so we will be back.

This location is supposed to be open until 11 p.m. and I showed up at 10:20 p.m., a full 40 minutes before closing and found the whole kitchen and store to be already shutting down leaving myself and remaining customers with the old and hardened scraps left over. There is no reason why a food establishment should be closing down 40 minutes early, terrible management. On top of that, the salmon I got was hard as a rock and smelled awful because it was clearly old due to the kitchen being shut down before I arrived, meaning they were serving old batches of protein. Then to top it off, when I asked for a refund, they told me the manager wasn't around so I would have to come back the following day to initiate a refund...all that after already wasting my time trying to eat here and then being left at 10:40 p.m. to find another place to eat.

Okay here are my honest reviews of the 3 dishes we tried: Greek fries: They are thinner fries, sprinkled with oregano YES ITS AMAZING & a very yummy feta cheese. I'm Middle Eastern and I don't know where / who makes this feta cheese but it was AMAZING. It was my first time trying fries with oregano and well let me tell you IM HOOKED. They gave us size of Ziki sauce and oh man oh man that sauce is sooooo good Gyro burrito: This was a very decent size burrito. Hubs couldn't finish it all so we actually ended up taking half home as left over. The gyro was not too oily, dry or salty. The combination of whipped feta and the cilantro cabbage claw really brought unique and flavorful taste to this burrito. Chicken Bowl: Those CHICKPEAS are to die for. This bowl I think is bigger than the bowls at chipotle. The chicken was very nicely marinated, the Ziki sauce, the feta cheese, and those chickpeas combined made this bowl so good. This was our first time trying Ziki and let me tell you when I say it won't be the last. Highly recommend it.

Plan ahead or use rideshare if you can. Service was great--attentive and smooth throughout our meal with two adults and two kids. We ordered the whipped feta spread (excellent with the pistachios and oil; the house bread was a bit salty), Brussels sprouts (cooked perfectly), grilled chicken kebabs, the shawarma-spiced steak frites, and the grilled Branzino. The Branzino was the clear star of the show--flavorful and well-executed. The chicken and steak were mediocre at best. For dessert we shared the sticky date cake, which had a nice crunch outside and was warm and moist inside. It's a bit pricey (we paid over $240 for the four of us), but the setting, strong service, and that excellent Branzino make it worthwhile. I'd definitely come back.

If you're in the mood for mouthwatering halal cuisine that bursts with flavors and spices, look no further than Halal Bros. This hidden gem has become my go-to spot for an exceptional dining experience that never fails to impress. From the moment you step foot into Halal Bros, the aroma of sizzling meats and fragrant spices fills the air, immediately whetting your appetite. The vibrant and inviting atmosphere, coupled with friendly and welcoming staff, sets the stage for an unforgettable dining adventure. The star of the show at Halal Bros is undoubtedly their famous platters. These generous portions of perfectly cooked meat, aromatic rice, and fresh, crisp salads are a delight to both the eyes and the taste buds. The chicken and beef gyro platters are absolute must-tries, tender and juicy with a medley of flavors that will leave you craving more. The meat is expertly seasoned, resulting in a tantalizing blend of spices that infuse each bite with an explosion of taste. The array of toppings and sauces available at Halal Bros is an added bonus. From tangy tzatziki to spicy harissa, each sauce complements the flavors of the platters, adding an extra layer of richness and depth. The falafels are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and make for a delightful vegetarian option. The sides, such as hummus and tabbouleh, are fresh and bursting with Mediterranean flavors. read more

Checked out Halal Bros when i was in Austin TX, and this is a great spot if you're craving a solid halal platter or wrap. We ordered the chicken over rice plate and a gyros wrap, and overall everything was delicious. The chicken over rice was loaded with flavorful, well-seasoned chicken over a bed of rice, topped with their signature white sauce and a bit of hot sauce. The combo of sauces really brings everything together, and the fresh salad on the side adds a nice balance. The gyros wrap was also on point--packed with meat, fresh veggies, and plenty of sauce, all wrapped up in warm pita. Simple, filling, and full of flavor. The spot itself has a clean, casual vibe--nothing fancy, but perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. Definitely a go-to spot in Austin for halal food read more

Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall, you wouldn't guess that it's among the the best spots in North Austin for Mediterranean-style protein over rice. That being said, the quality has seemed to slip ever-so-gradually since its initial opening. It's still a place I'm happy to frequent and I'm not one to gripe too incessantly at a place slipping from "excellent" to "great." read more
