Poor service. We ordered a fries and drinks combo, and initially they said it was included at no charge. When I offered to pay for the combo, they then said it wasn’t available as a combo at all.
The food quality has also declined. It used to be really good, but now it’s not great and feels overpriced.
Not worth it.

Amazing vegan shawarma!! Very filling, but also light and fresh with the tomatoes and lettuce. Not greasy either which I was originally worried about.

I've been coming to this place consistently for years and realized today that I've never left a review. If great arabic/meditteranean food is what you're looking for, this is the spot. There are so many overpriced places in austin that have similar menus and the food costs a lot more but doesn't compare to what you get at Kismet. It's great quality and tasty food everytime. I lived in Jerusalem and traveled around the middle east a lot while living there - whenever I feel a yearning for that culinary experience, kismet is where I go - not just for the food but the friendly folks who work there. It's truly a gem of austin and I hope that more people get to experience the magic (kismet really is a fitting name!)

I get takeout from this place so much my BO smells like their hot sauce 10/10
Kismet Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat. This place is my go-to for the drizzled plates. Meat always tender. Sauce delicious. Big portions. I highly recommend Kismet. 5☆

I will never go to Kismet again and neither should you. I used to eat here all the time, but then I saw the staff attack a black woman over a misunderstanding about an Uber Eats order. The staff ran out after her, stood behind her car so she couldn't drive away, dragged her out of her car and threw her on the ground, tore the front of her shirt so her whole bra was showing, and threatened her with a chair. Police had to be called. Thankfully my group was there to explain what the Kismet staff had done to her, but no one ended up getting in trouble.

Never judge a book by its cover! Looks like a simple café, but the food is phenomenal! Shawarma Arabi is incredible!
