The food was delicious and plenty. I had the two meat Shawarma Plate and got beef and chicken with humus, cucumber salad and pita bread. The humus was spicy and the salad fresh and crisp. The meats were well seasoned and the pita bread full and fluffy. I could only eat half and brought the rest home. The service was quick. Everyone was very nice. Excellent! The seating was quite functional while the deli was set up like a diner. There are plenty of bakery items to choose from as well, and they looked good. A nice place to get some Mediterranean food! read more

So much delicious authentic food for such a great price! My friends have been raving about this place, so I was so happy to experience it, and it didn't disappoint! The meat is cut before your eyes, and the plates are assembled before you which I love! I tried the beef and the chicken shawarma and I was surprised to find that I actually liked the chicken better. It was so juicy! The beef did feel a little drier, but maybe it was because it was closer to the end of the day. The dolma and potatoes were also so good and flavorful. And the white sauce that comes with the plate is so addicting. The pita was really good too, they heat it up for you so it comes out warm. And I like that you can actually split it open into a pocket. I definitely want to try the wraps next time, as well as their desserts. read more

This was a cool spot a friend showed me. I enjoyed the meal. Everything tasted fresh. Shawerma was tasty. Hummus was 10/10. Their falafel tasted like it had more veggies in it. The service was great and helpful with all my questions. I never knew it was there and had never heard of it. Glad I was shown this on The setup of the food and layout is nice.

Do you love Middle-Eastern food as much as I do? Great! Look no further for some of the best you'll get in Austin. Peace does it right! Always fresh ingredients. Always as if you're eating meals prepared in someone's home. Always huge portions. Can easily share a meal with someone or have leftovers. The tabbouleh...YES, PLEASE. I have been known to order it by the tub so I can eat it for several days--perfect balance of flavors. Cabbage salad...fresh & crisp. Cucumber salad...could eat it daily. Pita...fresh, fluffy, not too fluffy and not too dense. Pretty close to perfect. Chicken kebab & beef kebab. Get outta here! Tastes like London street-food kebabs. And that is more than a good thing. My stomach is growling just writing this review. I think I may need to stop and just head over there for an early lunch. K, bye. read more

The consistency of this place is great. I've had a chance to try almost all of their offerings, and without a doubt, this place serves up large amounts of delicious offerings. Again, you basically pick sides (half or whole sides) and choose meat to go along with. If you want multiple meats, just ask for the item as extra meat. Of course, you'll know this if you come here often; sometimes the staff will give you that tip. My go-tos are basically hummus (spicy), veggie baba, or just plain baba, tabouli, grape leaves, chickpea salad, cucumbers salad, beet salad, sometimes tzaiki, and olive salad. For meats I often opt for the kefta stew, eggplant, roasted chicken (you can choose if you want half, whole, and which part), or some of their specials, such as stewed lamb chops in tahini sauce, their BBQ beef stew, roasted chicken with almonds and onions on pita bread, or a myriad of other options. I'm also addicted to their rice which usually accompanies their meat. They also have schwarma, but I prefer what they have out front. Bread comes complimentary. Then they have their desserts--numerous filo pastry doughs in different shapes with different nuts, and dessert cheese. Their food is filling and prepared well. They've recently obtained a food truck which they plan to pop-up in a few different locations, although they still seem to be deciding long term where to situate it. Also, they've replaced their table tops recently. It was about time, since they were getting a bit worn. Their upper level (the part up the steps) seems to be nearing completion, and it is currently a place for storing their pita bread. read more

I have been wanting to try peace bakery for the longest time and I finally did! Me and my boyfriend had a great experience here. The staff was very kind and helpful, the food was fantastic and there was plenty of seating. The hummus was very good, definitely a classic simple hummus but they've perfected it. The chicken and beef shawarma wraps were also great! So much flavor and they can make it spicy if you ask for it. Excited to come back! read more

One of my favorite restaurants is Peace Bakery & Deli. This place is one of those true Austin gems. It's casual, friendly, and serving seriously flavorful Middle Eastern food. For my main dishes, I usually go with the lamb shank and sometimes the beef shawarma. The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender, rich, and perfectly seasoned. It comes with a generous portion of rice that soaks up all those savory gravy, making every bite incredibly satisfying. The beef shawarma is thinly sliced, well-marinated, and packed with that classic shawarma flavor. It had the perfect balance of spices, and the portion size was no joke. Paired with their fresh pita and sides, it's easily one of the best shawarmas I've had in Austin. My favorite sides are the potatoes (must get), beet salad, tabouleh, hummus, and babaganoush. Pro-tip: ask for half sides, so basically you can choose up to 4 things instead of 2 full regular sides. The half side portions end up to be almost a full sized side. Pita comes with the meals and their desserts are good too. Service is quick, and the staff is kind. Whether you're grabbing something to-go or sitting down for a hearty meal, Peace Bakery & Deli is a must-try for anyone who loves Middle Eastern cuisine. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu! read more

Pretty decent place to get a good meal. Although I enjoy the food there's lots of places with the same cuisine that rank better in my book in terms of hummus, pita and overall food. Still not bad though. Little annoying that when they cut into your wrap the foil gets all in your food. I'd rather they leave it whole. read more

Good food, delicious pita bread they sell in addition, nice service. Just one thing, the young man was finishing my wrap with bare hands, no gloves, and I did not see him washing them in between tasks. And I am also not a fan of food sitting for a long time in big pans, being heated for unknown time. I know some other places change them often, because the food sells out pretty quick. read more

A wide variety of delicious sides, some of which I didn't recognize., and offered with very generous portions. A very long serving line filled with sheet pans of middle Eastern pastries, including a few I'm sure I've never seen before. Falafel cooked to order & delivered to the table (totally worth the wait - best ever!) Middle Eastern (Arabic?) music, "Free Palestine" sticker on the door, cash preferred. Good pita bread, amazing beets, friendly patient service. read more

Authentic, fresh food! We got there before closing and they still had plenty of sides and desserts left. There are so many options of veggies, this is the place to go if you need healthy food. We got the lamb shank and roasted chicken, and I think the roasted chicken was much better. One meat with two sides is about $15, and it comes with pita bread! read more

Peace Bakery & Deli is one of the best restaurants in North Austin. My partner has always been a huge fan of Mediterranean restaurants, but I never fell in love with the food until I tried Peace's Palestinian-style cuisine. The food here is truly special, and every experience is better than the last. My favorite thing to order here is the falafel plate. The falafel is fried-to-order, so it is so fresh and delicious. There is a cafeteria style buffet of amazing sides to choose from. Some of my favorites are the tahni baba ganoush, the tabouli, and the potatoes (can be a bit spicy for me but I'm a spice wimp). Their tzatziki sauce is also amazing. The menu caters to both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I wish I could speak to the amazing shawarma options they serve, but I am not a meat eater, so look to the other reviews for this. I can say my two dogs have tried a taste of the lamb, and they were in absolute heaven. I also have enjoyed both the zatar and cheese pitas (kind of like a pita pizza), and the staff will warm them in the oven for you (or you can warm yourself at home). Complete your dining experience with THE best baklava in Austin. ZOMG, all of the options are all so good. I think the walnut is my favorite, or the pistachio, or is it the cashew? You cannot go wrong. Finally, as if the delicious, fresh, healthy food wasn't enough to convince you to try Peace out, this family-owned restaurant has the kindest, most caring and personable staff. Each time we go in there, the owners, family, and staff (especially Ali) make us feel more like friends than customers, and I see them take this same care with each returning customer, asking questions about their lives and remembering their favorite foods. Peace Bakery & Deli is a treasure in Austin, and I highly recommend trying it out! read more

This place has been on my list for a while. Unfortunately walking in they didn't have falafel so the only other vegetarian option was a vegetarian platter. I thought the service could have been better, the staff seemed tired and wanting to go home. The vegetarian platter was huge - portion sizes here in general are very large. Enough for 3 people! It was cool to try each item - the walnut dip stood out to me in particular. Also enjoyed the hummus, beets and tahini. The potatoes were kind of disappointing. read more

Peace Bakery & Deli - Vegetarian Platter and side of beef - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

MAIN MEAL: We ordered the mix kebab combination, which comes with 3 skewers and 3 eight ounce sides (or 6 half sides). The skewers are usually chicken, beef, and lamb but they ran out of the chicken ones when we got there. We got 2 beefs and 1 lamb. The ground beef skewer was very tender and aromatic. The lamb skewer was smoky and definitely my favorite. SIDES: We had the option of getting SIX half sides! We ordered baba ghanoush, hummus, tzatziki, eggplant, spicy potatoes, and fattoush salad. All of them were super yummy but I would highly recommend getting the baba ghanoush, spicy potatoes, and fattoush salad. DESSERT: We got a piece of kunafa, which was very yummy! Not overly sweet and nice and warm. We also got a piece of pistachio baklava. Would recommend both! OVERALL: I can't recommend this restaurant enough, probably one of the best meals I've had in Austin! I think this is good for 2 people. If I had one suggestion, I wish it came with more meat skewers, but you'll definitely be full from all the sides! They have rotating weekday/weekend specials, so be on the lookout for that. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

Get the vegetarian platter, ask them to make it vegan, and feast like royalty. It's genuinely enough food for 2 - 4 meals, depending on how hungry you are, complete with fresh salads, plant protein in form of various beans, luscious dips, and fluffy pita bread. Make sure you get the hummus spicy, because that was the best part. I went with my parents who also loved the falafel and baklava. It's not much to look at inside the dining room, but you'll be so focused on your plate, that won't matter past a minute. read more

Peace Bakery is such a little gem. With ample seating and a deli style ordering system, the food and desserts are excellent. The ambiance of dated but overall a nice spot to go for lunch.

I regularly enjoy this Mediterranean cafe. The family that owns and works here are welcoming and helpful. Everytime I bring a friend, they rave about the food. Even my picky niece happily enjoyed being introduced to a new cuisine. She tried the daily special and loved it. Don't miss the coconut baklava. I love to buy a little sample box of their different kinds of baklava and give as gifts. read more

Nut Allergy - Many of the desserts have nuts, so be careful there. What I had was fine. Review is for takeout via a delivery app. We ordered two of the Beef Shawarma with a full side of coriander potatoes and a half side each of the hummus and baba ghanoush. Honestly, we would've been fine with one order. Portions = Massive. They offered me pita bread when I picked up, which was great. Value: Amazing 5/5 Taste: The hummus and baba ghanoush were great (4.5/5). The beef was okay - some tough pieces, but overall very flavorful and went great with the pita bread (4/5). Service: Timely and friendly 5/5. Huge recommend for the value alone. read more

I've come here a few times and always had great experiences! They have big space and are never busy to the point where I'd worry about a long wait or getting seats. Their portions are pretty big and a fantastic value for the area. I'd recommend either coming very hungry or going in with the mindset of making 2 meals out of your plate. The meat options are all solid, but the sides are really where Peace stands out. There's so many flavorful options that you can come pretty frequently and never get bored. If you're in the north central Austin area looking for Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, I can't recommend them enough read more

I usually go for lunch/dinner on work days, since close to my job. At first is intimidating since I was not familiar with the names of the foods. But the service is extremely friendly. I take my meal to go, so my experience is based on that. I usually order fish, chicken, or the eggplant plate which I find it similar to a stuffed bell pepper. You can choose 2 full sides or 4 half sides. Whether you are a fan of middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Don't let the name "bakery" fool you - this place is sooo good not just with desserts, but hot plates as well. The ordering process is assembly-line style, with a few menu options (e.g. wraps) where you don't need to specify everything. I ordered the beef shawarma wrap to keep things simple, but I would definitely go for the platter meal next time. They have a huge selection of sides, and their meats are cooked rotisserie-style. For the small number of staff they have behind the counter, they move quickly cutting the meat, scooping sides and managing the register. The beef shawarma wrap was absolutely delicious - the meat was tender and packed with flavor, and the cold ingredients (humus, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and lettuce) pair so well with the beef. The wrap and the platters are also decently priced for the amount you get! Lots of parking outside, and a good number of tables inside. I unfortunately did not get the chance to try any of the desserts, but I will be sure to make a return trip! read more

Great food, not much service and very small portions for the price. I probably will not return, but the ingredients were fresh and food was tasty. Value was just not there. I understand the cost of everything has gone up considerably for restaurants, but a reasonable portion of meat should be given for the price point. read more

What a hidden gem! Came here on Saturday night to grab some takeout as our friends recommended this place. They had a big rush that day so were out of quite a few items by the time we got there around 7pm so come early!! That just means it's good food lol. We ordered the lamb shank with 2 sides. I love that you can do 2 full sides or split that up into 4 half sides. The portions are generous so highly recommend doing the 2 sides split into 4 halves. The lamb shank was served over rice with some potatoes. My favorite side was the hummus. Hands down the best hummus ever and there's an option to add a spicy oil on top. Say yes. Idk what the secret ingredient is but still thinking about it. The Muhammara was also 10/10. Spice level was perfect and the flavors were so perfectly blended. I wanted to try the potatoes but they were sadly out. The lamb shank was pretty good. I usually don't love lamb but it was so tender and flavorful. I wish it had more meat but they only had 3 left when we got ours. They also give free pita! Just tell them how much you want. The staff is so friendly. It's a family owned business which I love! The space is open and pretty big from the inside id you wanted to eat there too. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other options! read more

Delicious authentic Meditterranean Arabic food! I recommend this place for the quality of service and food!

Peace Bakery was amazing and the employees were very helpful and sweet. The food was AMAZING and flavorful. The meat was tender and tasted fresh and the hummus was so smooth and delicious. The tomato/olive salad was so tasty. The pita bread was fluffy and tasted fresh. I was super impressed with everything. And my favorite part was definitely the pistachio baklava-sooooo flaky and to die for. I will definitely be coming back. My only complaint was that the AC was out and I was drenched in sweat after having my meal. Hopefully it's fixed the next time I visit. read more
