Bug Tony and Charlotte are super friendly and their food is great, especially the gyro sandwich.

I drove by this place a few times and thought it was closed. It was apparently open and I tried it. The food is modestly interesting but very over priced. A Lebanese version of a "happy meal" was twelve dollars. Nothing really special a styrofoam dish with not much food. I was the only one there and ordered a take out meal and was asked how much tip I wanted to leave. Is this a joke? Tips are to compensate service staff not for the guy putting a few morsels in the styrofoam compartments The place does have something a little different but too expensive and modest portions do not make for a return visit. read more

Best falafel ever and I don't even like falafel normally. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and cooked and moist on the inside. We got the vegetarian platter and falafel sandwich and both were really good. Everything tasted fresh and I am glad the pita was thin and soft so I could enjoy eating less carbs and more of the other good stuff. The couple that owns, cooks and serves are very kind and caring people from Lebanon. My son loved talking to them and didn't want to leave the place. We will be back! Oh and they don't have baba ghanoush on their menu but if you want a container and call a couple days in advance, they can prepare it for you. We have been spoiled by great Mediterranean food in the Detroit/Dearborn area and I am so glad to have found a place to go satisfy our cravings for Lebanese food read more

I ordered the hummus plate and my husband had the beef kebab plate. Both were delicious, you can tell it quality ingredients prepared with love and pride. We waited for about 7-10min, the food was fresh cooked to order and plentiful. We both shared our dishes with our 5 and 7 yr old. The falafel was the best I've eaten hands down! The guy who works there is adorable, super sweet, helpful and kind. I'd go back just to feel his happy vibe. read more

Hands down best falafel I've ever had. Not dry at all.. super moist and the wrap is loaded with flavor. Whatever they're putting in that wrap is magic. So glad I live nearby!!! read more

I was expecting exceptional food based on the aggregate reviews and I was really disappointed. Ordered the falafel plate and gyro plate. The falafal balls were overcooked and didn't taste fresh and the overall texture was weird... Tasted more like quinoa than chickpea, I really couldn't place it but definitely unlike any falafal I've ever had and obviously not in a good way. The hummus was bland and the gyro meat was dry and under-seasoned. Tabuli was ok. read more

I'm Arab so can be very picky about Arab food and I'm super impressed! Fresh, flavorful, delicious kabab, kibbe, hummus, and tabouleh. Usually not a falafel fan but these were so crisp and light, yum! read more

The Sandwich was amazing! The service was quick and friendly. The Sandwich itself was enough to fill me up however, I do wish there was more items to the menu -maybe a side that comes with it for the price. Will be coming back in the future :) read more

Super fresh and just excellent - this is a Lebanese oasis of food in South Austin. Family run - these are real folk and it shows in the home style food. I can honestly say that the falafel was different than any other I've had - so light and crispy. You can tell the menu is full of little surprises like that. I'll be back, I'll find those treasures. read more

Hummus Cuisine - The falafel plate. Yum. - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

What an awesome south Austin gem. Hummus Cuisine is set up in one of the cutest Austin trailer food parks complete with games, nice scenery, and plenty of shade for everyone to enjoy a hot, summer Texas day. We were greeted by Tony & Charlotte, owners of the truck, and they were the most precious and gracious hosts. I love Mediterranean food, so I decided to try their lamb and beef gyro, while the bf got the lamb and beef plate. As we were sitting on the bench, I couldn't help but appreciate the plants and shrubbery near the truck, and when I glanced over, I realized this was literally a rock's throw from Moontower Saloon, which I'm sure gives them plenty of business :) Lamb/Beef Gyro 5/5: I loved how fresh everything tasted. The bread was so flavorful, and the beef and lamb were flavored perfectly. It wasn't spicy, but that was okay because the tahini sauce and the other spices inside the gyro itself was very tasty. It was also a good portion size for me-- I was a happy camper. Lamb/Beef Plate 5/5: It was presented very nicely, everything cut accordingly, just freshly washed and placed into the container. The Meat was still hot, and their homemade tabouli salad was so good with a zesty kick at the end. More than anything else, my culinary experiences boil down to ambiance, and whether or not heart was behind the food that was put out. These awesome, friendly, and very talented chefs hit it out of the park. Not only did we have a great meal, but Mr. Massad came out of the truck with freshly made falafels for us to try out, which were also amazing :) You could tell they wanted to be there, and it was reflected in their food. Try it, and say Odessa & Mike sent you. They'll take care of you :) read more

Incredible!!! So fresh and so flavorful. The people who own it are so sweet. This place is an absolute gem.

Best falafel in Austin! Amazing home cooked authentic food

Today my daughter and I decided to try this place out. We have never had Lebanese food before and we wanted to give a try. Let me tell you we were not disappointed. It was so good. My daughter had a Shawarma (gyro)sandwich filled with gyro meat, tomatoes, lettuce and tahini sauce wrapped in pita bread. She loved it!! All the flavors and the pita bread were fantastic. I had the Falafel Sandwich which is filled with Falafel balls , lettuce, tomatoes,pickle and tahini sauce wrapped in pita bread it was ooh so good! We also shared a Tabouli Salad which is a vegetarian dish made up of tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, onion, mint, bulgur and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Mmmmm we loved how all the flavors mix together and not one is overwhelming it's a great little salad to enjoy on a hot day. Then we also took home two Mamul cookies they were good as well. The owners were super friendly and answered our questions. We definitely will be back again soon. Make time and give this place a try read more

It's not always easy to find something for everyone on a small menu, but Hummus Cuisine has it down. Had the falafel sandwich as it comes. Not overly dressed, but definitely jampacked with crispy fresh veggies and wonderfully prepared falafel balls. My companion went for the lamb gyro sandwich and says it's absolutely worth getting again. Outdoor seating is relaxed and comfortable. Prices aren't terrible because the product is totally quality. Will recommend. read more

I order on GrubHub (pandemic and all) and my order kept getting delayed. No problem, I ordered around lunch time and it seems they were very busy. I think they gave me a free falafel plate maybe to apologize for delaying the order for so long which is very sweet. I didn't enjoy the food very much it was kind of one note. That doesn't mean they did a bad job it may just not be for me. I'm used to a tzatziki sauce which has more dill. The shwarma tasted kind of old, but also I know they were super busy so it may not have been the best pieces. My husband enjoyed his gyro but wished that it didn't taste so sour. We will definitely try again I've heard the owners are extremely nice. read more

This is a hidden gem right past SABG. Phenomenal food got the number 1 with sides of rice and kebab. The hummus was great, tabouli was one of the best I've had. Totally recommend this place. read more

Really enjoye the food and the couple that serves it up. We had the Shawarma and the Beef kebab Plate and they were wonderful and filling. Plates come with Hummus and Tabouli and Pita. Really authentic Mediteranian cuisine with all the subtle flavors you would expect. I'll be back for the Falafel. read more

We like this place a lot. The food is tasty and the owners are very friendly. The location is great for us as well.

This is a food truck on Manchaca, but don't let that discourage you. This is one of the best Mediterranean food vendors in S. Austin!! Charlotte is the chef (& maybe business owner) and she is so sweet and makes delicious Hummas and Beef Shwarma! The rice is prepared in a Lebanese style (which is hard to find in Austin). Be sure to ask for extra rice, you won't regret it! Oh, and as a last minute decision, I ordered the Falafal. It comes as an order of 4 with a sauce that is almost like the texture of Hummas, but maybe sweeter?? I was blown away! It was as good as the best Falafal I've had, including throughout NYC. This is a place you don't want to miss! read more

Deep South Austin is starting to get some real flair. Living in this area usually means a car trip to get anywhere good, but now we have the beginnings of our own food trailer park just a short walk away. Hummus Cuisine is amazing. The owners are so lovely and the food is beyond fresh. The hummus is smooth and creamy, the tabouli is crisp and tart, and the falafel with their tahini sauce is some of the best I have had. Without a doubt one of our new favorite spots. :) read more

I have now been to Hummus Cuisine many times. I love it! I always order the Schwarma Plate--so good! All the ingredients are consistently fresh and delicious. The couple that owns it couldn't be friendlier. They always greet with warm smile. read more

Everything was great and the food definitely has attention to detail! But the plates were smaller than expected.

This is not worth your time. Food was subpar, staff was not friendly. Surprised this place has lasted so long.

Amazing food! It's a little pricey than other food trucks but I don't mind paying a little more because it's always hot, fresh, and delicious! The gyro wrap is HUGE and stuffed! The owners are always so nice & welcoming read more

Hummus Cuisine - Schwarma Plate - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm actually disappointed in myself that I didn't stop here sooner. Shawarma. 'Nuff said. No, but seriously, good stuff. Fresh. Local. Reasonably priced. The owners are the two nicest folks you'll ever meet. And they have sno cones! Shawarma meat was juicy, veggies were crispy, and the hummus was oh so delicioso! Looks like there's a venue for live music too! read more

Hummus Cuisine - Shawarma Plate - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is so amazing! The couple that own this food truck make you feel like you are eating at their own home. They go out of their way to make you fee welcome and they have so much pride in their amazing food. The food is absolutely to die for - I love the beef kabob plate. Everything is so fresh and delicious; they will even give you more bread if you ask! Can't wait to return for more great food!! read more

Both owners are so friendly and kind! Falafel plate and kebbeh plate were so delicious! The hummus was so velvety smooth and flavorful. The pita bread was thin, but warm and fresh. Went so nicely with both meals! A bit pricey but so worth it! Will definitely be going back to work my way through the menu read more

Our family really enjoyed the food here, as well as the friendship. We shared two plates between the five of us (two adults and three small kids). I chose the Shawarma (Gyro) Plate and my wife chose the Hummus Plate. The owners gave us extra pita bread, which allowed us to make 10 tasty pita pockets, which the kids called "tacos." The flavor was among the best Mediterranean food I've found in Austin so far. I thought the tahini sauce was an inspiration (we do a lot of home cooking), and the mild spices were just right for our kids. Most importantly, the owners/chefs were very gracious and generous with us. They let us know their food truck is upgrading to a brick-and-mortar business nearby in the near future. We'll be sure to find them again soon. read more

I have ordered from Hummus Cuisine before on local delivery sites with good experience, so decided to drop by in person to the food truck for dinner last week. The gyro and kebab plates in the past, and enjoyed both. I got the kebab wrap this time and wasn't super impressed. The toppings were a bit strange and it could have used a sauce (or more sauce if there was some on it). Huge portion, but stopped eating about halfway through. I will stick with the plates in the future. Overall good experience, but wish the wrap had been a little better and it would be nice if they had better/thicker pita. read more

Moved to South Austin back in October with my fiancé and I already wish we had discovered this place earlier. Tony and Charlotte are some of the most friendly and accomodating owners of a restaurant I've met. We've been to Moon Tower before, which is immediately adjacent to Hummus Cuisine. Megan was having a bad day already before we got there, due to injury, and upon our arrival Charlotte presented her with a bottle of water. Immediately I knew this place cared about customer service. Megan had the kebab plate and I enjoyed the falafel sandwich. Both dishes absolutely turned around our days for the best. Good price point for what you get. Solid atmosphere to enjoy your meal at with the vegetation and grounds. And lastly an awesome meal that hits the spot where it's just enough food that won't make you regret the rest of your day. Can't wait to go back! read more

Fresh tabouli and amazing hummus. Owners were very friendly and had our order out fast. Gyro wasn't too greasy and tastes homemade. read more

By far, the best falafel I've had. It's made from scratch, and so perfectly crispy on the outside, pale green and moist inside. Yum! I brought a few falafel wraps to a potluck gathering and everyone couldn't stop raving. The hummus is so delicious, it's spoon-worthy. read more

This is place is awesome! Great atmosphere, clean picknick tables and now that the weather is cooler it's a great place to hang out. The food is great. Traditional Lebanese food cooked with love.

Hummus Cuisine - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

My wife and I are both fanatics for Mediterranean food, so we were extremely excited to see a Lebanese food truck pop up literally right down the road from us. Better yet, I have a special weakness for Lebanese food, so that excited me even more. We've been talking about trying it out for a couple of weeks, and tonight we finally did. Wow. The food is amazing. My wife had the falafel plate, and I had the shawarma plate - extra hummus on the side. We are beyond happy that we now have such an amazing little Mediterranean cuisine food truck a mile or so away from our house, we expect that this will become a staple for us, and we look forward to trying absolutely everything on the menu. If you love food, then try this place. If you love Mediterranean food, then this is your new deep-south-Austin go-to. We'll be thrilled if this wonderful little joint stays in business and close-to-home FOREVER. Please support this business, because we're selfish and want this place to stick around forever! 5 stars. read more

The best lebanese cuisine on the planet! Awesome, delicious, homemade and fresh. The lamb and beef shawarma is to die for! I eat there many times a week for lunch and dinner. Be sure to beat the heat with a few snow cones. My brother loves the kebabs and Charlotte's homemade cookies. I see other customers order the falafel, taboule, and hummus like there is no tomorrow. The also have toasted turkey & cheese sandwiches that are delicious. There is live music Saturday nights, lots of shade trees, seating with tables and games to play daily. Bring your family and friends and tell Tony and Charlotte that Fred Seghetti says hi! read more

Hummus Cuisine - Lebanese coffee and Gyro Plate: tender meat, fresh hummus and tabouli, with a side of lettuce, tomatoes, and pita bread. So good! - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow what an adventure this turned out to be. While trying to find a Greek/Lebanese restaurant that sold hummus and gyros and delivered in south Austin I found this gem. I called them and asked about delivery and they informed me they only deliver within a very small radius but would have an order ready for pick up. I told them I would come in and check it out because me and my wife hadn't really reviewed their menu yet. We looked over there menu which is small but adequate (also this is a food truck so they have what is needed) and we decided on the gyro plate that came with salad and hummus. We headed up there and were greeted by the nicest people who walked us through there menu and than we told them what we wanted. While we were waiting some other family members of the owners where enjoying a fresh batch of Turkish coffee. Amine was the husbands name and he offered my wife and myself a glass while we wait. We talked work and life for a few minutes while our food was finished and we took off, very pleased by the great hospitality. Once we got home and tried the food we were VERY IMPRESSED! Every bit of it was amazing by itself and also complemented each other perfectly no matter how you paired it. I will hands down not go to another Gyro establishment in south Austin because there is no need to keep searching, they are definitely the best!!! read more

Friendly service, great food, fair prices. What more could you ask for. The shawarma gyro plate is my favorite. The hummus is home made and delicious! read more

schwarma is the bomb here as is the hummus. Skip the coffee, it smelled really weird and I regretted dropping $2 for it. Will be back for the food. read more
