    Pickup Counter
    Joseph H.

    Came here on a Saturday to try them out. We were happy to learn that they have a BOGO deal for kids meals on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Buy an adult meal and get a free kids combo. Adult bowls cost about $16-17, so definitely not cheap. We ordered two bowls, one with lamb gyro and I went for the steak sirloin. Most of the toppings were free, and some premium toppings cost $1. With the two adult entrees, we were given two kids combo meals for free! Our food was ready less than 10 minutes later. We turned in our pager at the pickup counter, and carried our tray of food to our table. Presentation-wise, we thought they did a good job. Portion sizes seemed good as well. Each adult entree came with a protein, a choice of saffron or truffle brown rice, toppings, and a salad on top. The food was tasty and enjoyable, though we thought the meats and rice were dry and overcooked. They have drinks and sauce stations over to the side. We enjoyed their cilantro jalapeño sauce, which had a good, non-dairy, creamy texture that went well with our proteins. They had to-go lids available to pack our leftovers. We threw away our trash at the receptacle next to the door. Overall, we had a good experience here, but we probably wouldn't come here often. The price for a single adult entree would be cost-prohibiting if it weren't for the free kids combos.

    I needed healthy protein, no thinking and intense flavor since I was coming off not eating for a few days of a respiratory illness. This hit the spot! I still think most kebab shops in the U.S. charge way too much for what they offer, but I will grant this is the best tasting kebab bowl I've had in a long time and it was under $20.

    Friday lunches are for meeting with friends and family as well as trying new foods. Today was destination TDK Mediterranean. Our order included chicken kebab and hummus with pita bread. Enough for two people with leftovers. The food was fresh, hot and flavorful. The cashier was helpful when I asked about extra virgin olive oil. Although they did not have olive oil, I appreciated her asking the kitchen staff. The restaurant is extremely busy during lunch, so get here early. I really liked that there was ample space between tables to allow for appropriate social distancing. Heads up the restaurant is a bit pricey. I do believe they have above average quality. Really liked that TKS donates $100K per year to local schools....

    Think "chipotle" but it's Mediterranean food. Efficient concept and decent food. Service was quick and pleasant. Crave fries are a must!

    San Diego and steak wrap
    Artem V.

    Great place! We ordered the San Diego and the steak wrap, and both were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The meat was juicy, the sauces were perfectly balanced, and the portions were very satisfying. The staff was also very friendly, ambiance awesome ,welcoming, and provided fast service. Overall, a great experience -- we will definitely be coming back!

    Carved chicken plate
    Madi M.

    Five people in line, two employees bouncing between register and kitchen, not even one child high chair available. I can only imagine wait time. And no can't sit down with toddler without a high chairs. Had to leave frustrated and disappointed. Not with the staff, but management. Management should be doing better. We went next door.

    Carved Rotisserie Chicken Plate with Greek Salad and Veggies
    Sophia B.

    We stopped in for the first time for lunch. We both ordered the Rotisserie Chicken plate. Includes two sides. I opted for veggies and Greek salad. Hubby ordered veggies and brown rice. They give you large portions and the food is very filling. I really liked all the sauces. Service was fast and the food came out quickly. This place was busy, but had plenty of seating. We will definitely be back to try more menu items.

    bowl and shawarma
    Amanda L.

    Very yummy and pretty affordable! The shawarma is good and the meats here are very tasty. Their fries taste like mcdonald's but fresh and not as salty so that's a win in my book. You don't need all the fancy add on to make it taste good. The spicy sauce is also pretty good. I would come back!

    The Wrap
    Leah L.

    Completely unimpressed. I ordered ahead for pickup. The menu and pricing were misleading. While building out our wraps, I noticed additional charges for every choice. I posted a picture of my receipt that was on my bag, and they don't even print the totals for you to see, I guess they don't want the upcharges to be known? Anyway, we also ordered 2 small orders of hummus, and small they were. The tiniest little spoonful I've ever seen, it was comical. And 1 small piece of pita bread. The wraps were big, but they were mostly lettuce and rice inside. A mere 2 tiny pieces of lamb in one, the lamb I was charged extra for. And the falafel wrap was also mostly rice and lettuce and 2 tiny falafel. Won't be back.

    Being Greek and visiting Austin, trying the local Greek restaurant was a must. I'd heard Yamas was…read morethe best Greek spot in town, so my brother, my daughter, and I decided to see if it lived up to the hype. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had been transported to a little taverna on a Greek island. The crisp white walls, iconic blue window frames and shutters, and charming atmosphere immediately set the tone. Even more impressive was the hospitality. From the hostess to our server, and even the owner stopping by our table, everyone embodied the warm, welcoming Greek hospitality I grew up with. The appetizer menu was so tempting that we wished we had ten stomachs. We settled on the octopus, spanakopita, saganaki, keftedes, and a horiatiki salad, and I'm so glad we did. The octopus was cooked perfectly, tender and seasoned with excellence. The spanakopita was beautifully flaky with a satisfying crunch, and the filling was rich and flavorful. The tzatziki was incredibly fresh and honestly some of the best I've had in a long time. The biggest surprise of the night was the saganaki served with fig jam. I never would have thought those flavors belonged together, but they absolutely did. It was a standout dish. The keftedes were also fantastic, juicy, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. For our entrées, we ordered the pastitsio, gouvetsi, and chicken souvlaki. While the appetizers truly stole the show, the main courses didn't quite reach the same level. We did arrive close to closing time, so that may have played a role. The pastitsio had great flavor overall, and the béchamel was beautifully prepared, but some of the pasta was a bit firm, and I personally would have loved a touch more cinnamon. The gouvetsi had excellent texture, but it was a little too salty for my taste, but that didn't stop my daughter from devouring it. The chicken souvlaki was unfortunately on the dry side and a bit tough. Even with those minor disappointments, I'd absolutely return. The menu is filled with so many traditional Greek comfort foods that I'd love to come back and explore more of what they have to offer. The appetizers alone are worth the visit, and the atmosphere and genuine hospitality made the experience feel like a little taste of Greece right here in Austin. If you're looking for authentic Greek flavors, a beautiful setting, and genuine (Greek hospitality), Yamas is definitely worth adding to your Austin dining list.

I'm willing to give this another shot because I've heard great things, but is that just influencers getting paid??

However, I'll think about coming here again because I didn't feel a good vibe with the service. We had to go look for someone to show us the table even though the place was empty for early lunch. Then, to get drinks or even the order was a problem. It took so much longer than usual. Our waitress was rude, and seemed bothered that we showed up. Then someone else came as the waitress and she was preoccupied with other tables and barely checked on us. A regular lunch which would've been one hour became almost two because of the lack of service. My friend had to stand and look for someone to give us a box to take out the good we couldn't eat because it was getting late and also to get the check because No one came in to check on us at all. It was almost like pulling teeth to get a regular service let alone good service. Again, the food was really good, and that alone was the only positive.

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!

I also ordered the fried dill pickles, which are another personal favorite of mine. They were perfectly fried and full of flavor.

    My family of 5 came to the Peacock Grill for Father's day, and overall I would say it was a great…read moremeal, fun ambiance, and good service. Why one star off? 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.

    In Austin visiting and being from Buffalo and having a Greek family I wanted to get some Greek…read morefood. No Yia Yia around so I had to go out and find a place. Well after looking at several restaurants on yelp I found that most restaurants were Mediterranean but more middle eastern than Greek. Until I saw Opa. Well my wife and I gave it a shot. And we were pretty well pleased. We had a Greek salad where all the ingredients were super fresh with a nice pita bread and a grape leaf and a 2 nice pieces of feta. I also had a chicken gyro. Again all super fresh veggies filled the pita wrap and very tasty chicken. They had outdoor seating for our dog who was our dinner guest. But you have to order inside. Which I did. The person who took the order was busy but did a great job. We asked for a couple of large glasses of water with lemon and she promptly took care of us. There were small glasses out on the table but we wanted large ones cus we didn't want to keep walking inside. No problem. Food arrived after a short while and was delicious. They have a nice parking lot however getting in and out can be a little bit crazy when you have everyone from Austin rushing home. Had to wait a long time to get to exit the parking lot cus not one Texan driver would give us a break and let me in the exit lane. Next time I see a Texas license plate in New York I will remember that. But I will still give them a break.

    Stopped by Op's Greek Cafe for dinner before a show. It is an idyllic little cafe that serves…read morequality Greek food and Greek inspired drinks. Parking was a bit of a challenge but was able to park on the curb out front. Once inside, we placed our order at the counter and pre-paid and were given a number. They have an extensive menu with traditional Greek dishes and all-day breakfast options. As well as a full bar offering aromatic coffee, hand-crafted cocktails, fine wine, and a selection of local and international beers. The restaurant was busy we were able to place our order in a timely fashion. I opted for a cocktail along with lentils and rice and added chicken as the protein. There was indoor and outdoor seating available. After ordering, we sat outside in the most cozy and intimate outdoor seating area. Unfortunately, after waiting 30+ minutes, we never received our food. When we checked at the counter, the interaction felt pretty condescending, staff insisted the order had already been brought out even though we never received it and still had our number with us. At that point we had to cancel the order so we wouldn't miss our show. I do appreciate that they offered a full refund without issue, but overall the experience left us disappointed, especially with how the situation was handled.

    Better late than never! I came here for Easter Sunday and it turned out to be a wonderful dining…read moreexperience. I'm a sucker for Greek food, but I also know the difference between good Greek cuisine and the mediocre versions you sometimes find. Thankfully, this was firmly in the first category. We started with the Skordalia, a whipped potato dip that I had never tried before. It was as creamy as hummus but as comforting and savory as mashed potatoes and the warm grilled pita took it to the next level. Next came the grilled octopus, which was cooked perfectly. It was incredibly tender with none of the chewiness that can often ruin an octopus dish. The accompanying sauce tied everything together beautifully without overpowering the seafood. For our entrées I ordered the lamb special, while my partner chose the lamb skewer. Both were outstanding and easily some of the best lamb dishes we've had at any restaurant in Austin. The meat was flavorful, tender and expertly prepared. To round out the experience, the service was attentive without ever feeling intrusive and the restaurant itself strikes a great balance between cozy and stylish, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, this was an excellent meal from start to finish. I'll definitely be back, perhaps to check out happy hour or brunch next time.

    We stopped by for lunch and were a little hesitant when we saw the restaurant was completely empty,…read morebut we decided to give it a try anyway. The space itself is lovely, with a charming patio full of plants and a beautifully designed bar inside. I ordered one of their breakfast chicken dishes, and while it was enjoyable, it didn't quite stand out to me for the price. The portion was on the smaller side, the dish was a bit oilier than I prefer, and I found myself wishing it had a few more components to round out the plate. At this price point, I personally would have preferred a bowl from Kebabalicious in East Austin, which I find to be a better value. Overall, it's a cute spot with a great atmosphere, but the food just didn't quite live up to the setting for me.
