Why 4 stars? Because I had a halal itch and this kind of scratched it…read more --- --- --- I recently visited New York and every time I do that, I usually have to visit a halal cart. This time, I barely managed to squeeze one into my trip, and it was kind of a last minute stop from a food truck that wasn't even on Yelp. It was fine, but I was left yearning for more after barely getting a taste of it. Enter: my trip to Austin. Upon doing my food research, I was struck by Halal Time's great rating and couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit. I was staying in a hotel less than a mile away, which made it even easier to stop by. The result? I wouldn't say it fully hit the spot on what I'd remembered from old NYC trips, but I did enjoy it. I went with the Beef Shawarma Over Rice plate and it was a perfectly "good, not great" dinner.

First let me start and say the portion is huge. I could not finish it and it was very tasty. At…read morefirst I thought it was too much sauce but once you mix everything together. It was the perfect amount. the chicken meal and baklava dessert was $17 which I felt was good price. My complaint. I preordered on door dash and picked up my order and 3 of my coworkers orders. I get a 30 min lunch and it takes me 8 min to get there and another 8 min to get so I should have had plenty of time. I go up to the window, tell him I'm here to pick up the order and he says door dash has not given him orders for 3 days. So my orders were not made. I had to call everyone to find out what they order and as I'm calling out the orders he's like oh yes I see them. Very confused as to how he has no orders but also has orders? There was construction and graduations going on that day so my commute was a little longer but he not having the orders ready also made me late.

I came back because I appreciated having a sample today reflected the main dishes of a Jerusalem street food truck. I order using the he link to their toast. They were on a break, so I had to wait a little longer. The link to order came in handy vs me waiting to put an order in until someone arrived. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a side of falafels. My falafels were crispy and flavorful. The chicken shawarma wrap was the perfect size. The amount of meat on the wrap was really good, all of the ingredients were balanced well. The chicken was flavorful as well. I wanted to order fries, but they were sold out. There is plenty of seating available throughout St. Elmo. You can sit outside, listen to music, and grab a drimk from other businesses. I will definitely go again!

The owners either thought they were taking advantage of a group of "drunk" people or they naturally skimped out on parts of the meal. Our experience was as follows: I ordered a chicken schwarma wrap. They claim there is Taziki sauce in their sandwich but The wrap was so dry, I don't think they put more than 1 teaspoons worth in the sandwich. Upon asking for more, they gave us a small container that contained little to none. They limited us to only 1 extra container. This is the first time I've had to ask for extra Taziki sauce because my sandwich was too dry. My friend also ordered a chicken Schwarma wrap and a side of fries. He asked them to place some of the fries in the sandwich. When he got his food, they did not give any fries on the side. We assumed they placed all of the fries in the sandwich. By the end of the meal, it was evident they only placed 4 fries inside the sandwich and didn't give any on the side and charged him for a full side. This is a bad intentioned restaurant that tries to take advantage of drunk customers. If you decide to support such an establishment, I hope you take warning with our experience. They definitely put the bad in sinbad.

It doesn't compare to Halal Bros or Kismet, but it's not bad. The portion is a decent size, and the price is reasonable. With the discount, I paid $10.36. I wasn't able to finish it the first time I got it, but I easily finished it my second time. The flavours are good, and it's nice that they put a good amount of salad in it too.

Out of all the many food trucks at St Elmo's, I landed on Salam's and was NOT disappointed! From the takeaway box alone, you can tell they mean business. It's fully branded with the chef and contact info, not your typical Sam's Club/Costco bulk supply situation. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Box and WOW. The wrap comes sliced into DELICIOUS, perfectly grilled, crunchy bite size pieces, making it perfect for sharing (or maybe not, no judgment here)! In addition to the mini-bites, you always get a generous portion of Spicy Coriander Fries drizzled with sauce and chopped cilantro. Some places beg for five-star reviews to bring in customers, but at Salam's Grill, their food speaks for itself. NO NOTES

Update: After eating probably 40+ chicken shawarma wraps from here, I wanted to do an update & also…read morecorrect a few things from my previous review. First of all, after trying tons of other places, it's official - Salam's has THE BEST chicken shawarma wrap. I am quite literally obsessed with them. It's the chicken, the saj/Markouk bread, the Toum - everything comes together perfectly. If I could eat them every day, I certainly would and sometimes do. Mondays & Tuesdays are sad days for me. lol I still try other places sometimes, but I'm often disappointed. Unfortunately I don't live close by & my town has ZERO middle eastern places to eat. So that's also why I place larger orders. 1. Correction: The meat actually IS cooked and shaved from a spit. But, it's not paper thin and dry like some places tend to be. It's also not chicken breast. It's either thigh or a combination of both. Whatever it is, it's working. It's the best chicken I've ever had. I've tried to recreate it at home 100 times, but it's just not gonna happen. 2. I don't think I've actually ordered from here 40 individual times, but when I do come, I order several wraps. I special order them whole with no sauce or pickles so I can put a couple in the fridge to save for the rest of the week. They don't get soggy that way and are easier to toss in the air fryer or oven later. Then I add sauce & pickles later along with pomegranate molasses. I always keep a bottle handy. (HEB has it) Salam's is always really great about granting those requests for me. 3. They have added their baklava to the online menu. Yay! **If I could add anything to the menu, it would be little cups of pomegranate molasses. Personally, it doesn't affect me because I always get my food to go & I keep a bottle at home. But, I hate that other people might be missing out on it. I mix it with their garlic sauce. When you give your wrap a little dip, then take a bite, it's like a few seconds of heaven on earth. Think: that popular video/meme/scene where John Hamm is in the club looking blissful. Yeah, it's like that.
