This is such a good place. I love how you can just customize your order with everything that you want. When you arrive, you can order on your own or you can have somebody come up to the register and help you order. Everyone there is so nice and they're very quick to get your order fast. They also do online orders, which is great so you just show up and pick it up. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything there and let me tell you though you definitely need to order the french fries because they are so good. I don't know what they do to them. That makes them taste amazing. I am always between the bowl and the wrap, the wrap just taste so good because that rap taste like authentic Tortilla. I don't know how to explain it but it's delicious so you definitely have to try it. Also, I love the bowl because sometimes I just want a bunch of rice and lettuce and all the proteins which makes it really good. Also make sure that you get a little bit of every sauce. They're all delicious and unique. Definitely check out this place. It has expanded so much because they're doing so well. It has to be out of your list of restaurants to eat at.

The super duper wrap
Neha G.

August 10, 2025 review: ----- We tried this place during lunch around 1-1:30pm time and it was pretty empty, just one table reserved I believe. My husband and I got two wraps- San Diego and Super Duper, Both wraps are huge- either two people can eat from one wrap (I'm referrinng to good hungry good people) or If you eat by yourself, it's easily two meals for one person. We didn't know about the size and got one each. San Diego had the falafel with saffron rice, some of the side toppings, hummus and Tzatziki dip. For super duper, we had the falafal with fries, no rice and other toppings. I must say both of the wraps were pretty dry. I added a lot of side sauce while eating later on. The side sauce are kept at the corner of restaurant and incuded, OG yogurt, fire chilli and green spicy tangy sauce. Parking garage is located just next to the restaurant and parking ticket gets validated so that's pretty good. Restrooms are available but need code, cleanliness is ok. Overall good experience.

I really like this fast casual restaurant chain. It got its start in San Diego in 2007, and expanded to new locations in California as well as Texas and Florida over the years. I put myself on a (mostly) Mediterranean diet about a year ago. TKS delivers healthy, delicious, reasonably priced Mediterranean food, on so many levels: - A great assortment of fresh protein, grain and veggie choices that you can mix and match - Fast and friendly service - Good value; fairly priced - Delicious - Dine-in or takeout I have no desire to eat at the restaurant and for this reason alone, I am knocking off one star. It has hospital cafeteria vibes.

I do love the humongous wraps at The Kebab Shop. Made with thin, easy to digest tortilla style pita bread and filled with your choice of protein and a plethora of delicious toppings and finger licking sauces. We have tried the falafel and chicken shawarma wraps and both are great. The wraps are big enough for a meal and next day snack for me. You order at the counter and food preparation, serving is fairly quick. I also really like the TKS story printed on the walls of the restaurant. This particular location does not have a parking lot, so street parking or to go order would be best.

This is somewhat like a fast food Mediterranean restaurant. You order at the counter either via self ordering kiosk or by the person manning the counter. Orders come out fairly quick. They have sauce containers and sauces on the side near the drink station, so you can load up on extra sauces to add to your meal. I liked the cilantro jalapeño sauce (it's not that spicy). The portion size is huge! The wrap I got was almost as long as the tray. I did ask for sauce inside the wrap, but I didn't really taste any, but luckily I had the extra sauce that I grabbed from the counter. Taste-wise, it did feel a bit lacking without the extra sauce on the side. Didn't realize this was a chain - I hope I can visit the one near me in Northern California soon!

Greek bowl with Lamb beef

The food was perfect! Portions were great! I had the Geek bowl. Very tasty and satisfying. The service was by far the best! We got greeted multiple times and each of the staff members was sure to acknowledge me! The restrooms were very clean and smelled nice and fresh. The ambiance was pretty chill and spacious!

Shawarma and salad
Teri K.

first time into this establishment and so glad I tried it. I tried the lamb and beef Shawarma on salad. Everything was very fresh. The meat is sliced on the thinner size, but it was still an ample portion. Nice option of sauces for the side. The jalapeño cilantro is really spicy and good. Wish I had one of these closer to me in South Austin.

food is amazing! serving size: amazing! employees? amazing! the restaurant validates parking just ask the cashier :) zero complaints. i loved it!

Bowl and hummus

Ashley was the sweetest person to order from so late at night! The food smells amazing but she really sold the location for me! massive hummus, it's from my bowl but I asked for it on the side.

İbrahim D.

Overall good quality of food, nice serving, timely deliver and reasonable prices. They forgot to put utencils in my first delivery but was better next time I don't have experience about ambience and I ordered in .

I was visiting and saw this and wanted to try it out. The bowl, the saffron rice straight up taste like plastic which made the whole bowl inedible. Had to throw it out. I've had saffron before and it never tasted like that. So disappointed

Rice Rice Baby Wrap with Steak and Spicy Hummus
Stephanie M.

Two first's today at Kebab. Dined on the patio and tried a wrap. It was such a beautiful sunny day and its not crazy hot outside quite yet. Nice little patio to enjoy lunch and people watch. I went with the Rice Rice Baby Wrap with Steak and added Spicy Hummus. Super refreshing and the steak was very tender and juicy. I only was able to eat half as the wrap is HUGE, but i like that the wrap flatbread is on the thinner side and not super filling. Don't forget to pair it with their yummy sauces. My fav's are the O.G. Yogurt and Cilantro Jalapeno. Service was also quick given that it was a busy lunch time.

The San Diego Bowl with Falafel
Victoria O.

I ordered the San Diego bowl to-go for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how large of a portion it was! I chose fries as my base but it came topped with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, slaw, feta cheese and garlic yogurt. I added falafel and pickled onions, plus the cilantro jalapeño sauce on the side. Really yummy! I love that you can build your own bowl, plate or wrap and customize them however you like. Such a quick and delicious lunch, I will definitely be ordering again!

OMG, this place is absolutely awesome! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary last Friday evening…read moreand the atmosphere was incredible. Inside and out! I was glad we were seated outside though because even though it was a warm evening, their fans were very effective creating a constant gentle breeze. The music enhanced the experience with a fun and upbeat vibe. I truly felt like was sitting at club/bar/restaurant during a cool summer night in Greece! Just incredible. The staff were also great! Friendly and accommodating from the time we checked in for our reservation. Our server was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with my gluten sensitivity! The food was delicious too. Shout out to the chefs! The village salad (also reminded me of a traditional Greek village salad) was refreshing, the hot honey halloumi was like nothing I have ever tasted before, I regret not ordering extra to-go!, the Lamb chops made me feel like we were celebrating Easter - the seasoning was spot on and cooked to perfection, the Lamb and beef kefta with rice was also tasty, but the lamb chops are the clear winner. Don't forget to get dessert! If you have a gluten sensitivity like me, you are safe with the Pistachio Panna Cotta. It was a flavor high I didn't want to end! Lol. But seriously, it was super delicious, sweet, and just the right portion. Also FYI: we shared every plate. It's the way to go there, and I'm glad our server recommended that we order everything up front and they simply bring it out as each plate is ready. (Except for dessert and drinks - order those at the appropriate times of course). Speaking of our server, Lauren S, she was on it!!! Not only was she able to serve us and other tables extremely well, there was also a very large party of around 15 people next to us that she also served. Yet she always seemed to be around when you needed her and always with a friendly smile and positive attitude. Shout out to Lauren!!! You were amazing. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner memorable. Can't wait to visit Aba again!

We had a reservation and the host sat us down immediately and was so friendly. Our server was there right away. Her service was just perfect ... friendly and not over the top. She was knowledgeable about the dishes and gave us suggestions. We had a mockingbird mocktail and my son a soda. The drink was perfect. We ordered the whipped feta, falafel and beef Lamb kefta. Everything came out really quickly. The falafel was absolutely delicious. The whipped feta was a hit with my son. The kefta was a little disappointing. A little bland and dry. I ordered the pannacotta my son the chocolate chocolate cake. I absolutely loved mine with the sorbet on top. My son loved his cake. Atmosphere wise the restaurant is beautiful and cozy and grand but the only complaint would be the music was too loud and it was hard to hold a conversation. For me it doesn't match a nice restaurant but rather a bar concept I would say it was great service and great food

It's one of those places that's reliable and feels pretty consistent, knowing you're going to leave happy and full after eating here. The two times we've been there, theres always plenty of seating and are able to walk right in. It's a walk in and seat yourself experience and then you pay upon leaving. The staff keeps the dining area and buffet line consistently stocked and clean. They even provide hand sanitizer and gloves for you. Even when foot traffic picked up while we were there, the food was replenished quickly and didn't look picked over. Now let's talk food...Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and like it was made with care instead of just being "buffet food" an under seasoned. The variety is also amazing, and it's easy to build a plate for pretty much any type of diet whether you're keto, high protein, balanced, veggie-forward, vegan, etc... Some of our favorite dishes we keep coming back for: Shredded beef (SO good), Baked fish (tender and not fishy), Garlic baked chicken (wonderful crispy skin), Fried chicken, Baked kafta, Kafta kebab, Gyro meat, Roasted cauliflower, Eggplant, Greek salad, Fatoush, Kale Caesar salad, Zaatar pizza, Cheese pizza (pro tip: top it with shredded beef- a life changing buffet hack), Rice with lentils, Rice with mixed veggies. For the quality, variety and amount of food you get, this is easily one of the best deals in the city! It's rare to find a buffet that's both affordable and consistently this good! If I had one small wish, it would be for desserts to match how strong the rest of the food is. They're not bad, just a little more "fine" compared to how amazing everything else is. I've seen another Dimassi's (I think in Cali) that had a frozen yogurt machine and I'd LOVE to see that here because it would be the perfect finish! Make a cup and then crumble up some baklava on it! Overall we've LOVED it here and we'll absolutely keep coming back! Great food, clean, consistent, and worth it every time!

It's easily my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Austin, even surpassing Aba for me. The restaurant itself is cozy and inviting. While the decor is understated, it's clear that most of the attention goes into the food and drinks. Every cocktail and dish I've tried has been thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. One of my favorite dishes is the seared octopus. It's cooked perfectly--tender with just the right amount of char, never rubbery. You also can't go wrong with any of the dips. I ordered the classic hummus, which was smooth, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. The smashed cucumber with smoked labneh is another must-order. It's refreshing, savory, and makes the perfect appetizer to share. For drinks, I loved the Everything Bagel Martini. It's such a fun and creative twist on a classic martini, and somehow it really works. Overall, Ezov is a restaurant I happily recommend to anyone who enjoys Mediterranean cuisine. It continues to be one of my favorite dining experiences in Austin, and it's a place I'll definitely keep coming back to.

One of the first things you notice when you walk in is the eye symbol displayed throughout the restaurant. According to the staff, it's meant to bring positive energy, and honestly, the vibe starts working immediately. As first-time Ezov diners, we were completely captivated by the décor. From the beautiful oversized colorful lanterns to the vibrant graffiti art (which also extends to the exterior of the building) and sleek modern furnishings. The space felt both stylish and inviting. We instantly slipped into relaxation mode. Ezov's menu features Mediterranean-inspired dishes designed for sharing, so we selected three items: the Whipped Bulgarian Feta, Lamb + Beef Manti, and Grilled Branzino. Let me start by saying I don't recall ever having whipped Bulgarian feta before, and it was a delightful surprise. Smooth, creamy, and packed with flavor, the combination of honey and hazelnuts elevated the dish even further. The Lamb + Beef Manti was the standout of the evening and easily my favorite dish. It was an incredible explosion of flavors and textures...a thin, crispy flatbread layered with rich tomato ragu, tangy yogurt sauce, and chili oil. Every bite was absolutely delicious. If I could have ordered a second round, I probably would have. The Grilled Branzino, served with peas, kale, and peppers, was also enjoyable. To be fair, the kale was a bit coarse for my taste, but my friend happily took care of most of it. James, our server, was fantastic. He guided us through the menu, offered helpful recommendations, and checked on us at all the right times without being intrusive. While the shareable plates are on the pricier side, sometimes it's worth treating yourself to a memorable dining experience. Between the flavorful Mediterranean cuisine, the energetic atmosphere, and the opportunity to reconnect with a dear friend, our evening at Ezov was well worth the splurge.

We spent around $600 with tip and fees for 5 (mixed grill, two apps, two drinks each); and while the food was delicious the meats were luke warm not piping hot, our server while very friendly was not the best at giving suggestions (basically she said everything is good lol) and wasn't able to split the check 2/3 and 1/3 instead of 50/50 ("... I don't know how to do that"), and the cocktails while tasty didn't really feel special enough to be $21-25 each. It was a very enjoyable experience I just don't know that it lived up to the price tag. For that price I'm looking for exceptional not just very good. That being said the food was delicious! Pricey but pretty good portions. The server said the mixed grill was good for around 4 people, but with two apps it was actually a little too much food for the 5 of us. Mixed grill ($220): -Rosewood Wagyu Strip and Lamb Chops: tie between these two for the best dish; they were both juicy and tender and the sauces were delicious. Not served piping hot but they were so good I didn't really mind. -Harissa Marinated Beef Tenderloin: great flavor- a tad dry. -Spiced Lamb Kefta: also dry, I liked it best with the yogurt sauce. -Red Pepper Chicken Thigh: delicious, one of my fav kabobs. -Herb & Garlic Shrimp: tasty and not overcooked -Charred King Trumpet mushroom: loved the veggie option! they mushrooms were substantial and the sauce was great. -Crispy Shallot Hummus: very good- loved the crispy shallots in particular! -Manti Dumplings: top app- I would 100% order this again the dumplings were delicious and the sauce/yogurt on top of them was the best, we wiped up every drop with the pitas! -The pita bread was hot, fresh, and delicious and our service kept on offering more, so I don't know if they've changed their policy but my experience was not the same as reviews that said only one pita per person. We refused extra pitas 3 times I think! Cocktails- everything we tried was quite good, but again there wasn't the pizaz or just 'blown away by the flavor' to feel that the crazy price was totally justified. We tried: Spanish G&T (very refreshing- don't chew on the juniper berries lol), Banana Bread Old Fashioned (pretty good even for someone who doesn't much like whiskey!), Bonfire on a Beach (fun, smokey, love the harissa on the side), Peach Martini (teensy bit sweet for me but good). The manager stopped by a few times to check on us and our server was very attentive. She did give us good service its just for the high price I would expect some more detailed suggestions on drinks, being able to split the check other than 50/50 (or at least ask someone instead of just saying 'I don't know how'). It was friendly and enthusiastic service just not 'wow this truly is fine dining' service. Outside of the restaurant, parking is a bit of a pain but that is normal for down town. We parked at the Laz garage half a block away- $8 for 2 hrs instead of the $27 for valet.

There are four of them and they are sooo delicious!! This is a must get especially if you love warm and creamy stuff. The outside is nicely fried and if you never had it, it's similar to Japanese takoyaki. Although I love it a lot, the portion was just right for sharing because it really fills you up. We also got the potatoes (nice, but nothing that blew my mind) and chicken empanadas that I thought had a strange, sour taste. I wouldn't get that again. I highly recommend getting different tapas instead of the main courses so you can try different things. We were completely satisfied with the meal after getting these but still made room for the orange almond cake!! This was extraordinarily good!! Not too sweet and the cake has a nice moist texture-not dry. It took a while for food to arrive so service was a bit slow. You can also sit outside if you want but we sat indoors since it was chilly. It's a smaller restaurant so it's nice for an intimate meal or date. They have a bar. There's parking in the back, which is where the entrance is. Btw, this is also on inKind so I got to claim $25 off $50.

Troy ATX on Mesa Drive in Austin, TX is a neighborhood restaurant that quietly delivers an…read moreoutstanding dining experience. The restaurant specializes in Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. Troy ATX provides food and outstanding service...feels like home. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it perfect for dining. The menu offers a great balance of familiar Mediterranean favorites and traditional Turkish dishes, all prepared with care and bold flavors. Portions are generous, ingredients taste fresh, and the dishes homemade. In fact, the son of the owner was managing the restaurant which he does not do often. He had nothing but rave things to say about his family and the restaurant. I really love that! I stopped to pick up some hummus. It was packaged with pita bread and nicely packed for travel. The hummus felt thick and hearty...not normally how it comes at the grocery store. If you're craving authentic Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine, Troy ATX is absolutely worth a visit.

Stumbled across this hidden gem in North Austin and absolutely love it. I've always said Austin…read moredoesn't have enough "Mom and Pop ethnic places," so finding Troy was a dream come true. The staff was so warm and welcoming the entire time. From giving recommendations, to offering Turkish tea, it was a great experience. The food was solid as well! Definitely recommend the lamb in whatever you get! I had a few coworkers get the wraps, I will say, I do feel like they were a little light on the meat in those, but everything else that was ordered was solid. We will definitely be back!
