50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Austin

“Food was excellent & the atmosphere was very warm & cozy.“

“Very nice mediterranean options, would recommend.“

“Food was immaculate overall. Jess was an amazing server. Just two things I’d change. Wait to bring the bill until it’s asked, I’m sure it’s standard procedure but if I wanted to order more it shuts that down. And second, the coconut malabi needs less or no salt at all in the base, it over powered it.“

“I tried the falafel wrap today and the baklava they were delicious and the chicken was great and well seasoned! love the food that they serve 💓“

“Very friendly and food is Great! And I’m a Private Chef!“

“I stopped by and took eric’s recommendations and I’m so glad I did! I was able to customize my meal exactly how I wanted and added so many fresh toppings. They even gave me a free pita bread which was such a nice surprise. I’ve been trying to eat healthier and this was perfect. It was so delicious fresh and satisfying. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. This place is like chipotle but honestly a hundred times better. I’ll definitely be coming back. thanks again Eric.“

“My family reserved Dimassis restaurant (Research Blvd) for 150 guests for a meet & greet function for my new born son. I must say, every single guest enjoyed the experience that Dimassis provided. Abu Ali and Sammy were great hosts. The service was amazing. The food was hot, plentiful , and very delicious. The restaurant was very clean as well. It was a 10/10 experience , a five star experience.“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“Kubba was amazing. All of the dishes were savory and the serving sizes were huge. I highly recommend coming here!“

“I can't say enough about this place! The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, with generous portions. I love that I can eat a healthy guilt free meal that's packed with flavor. Pictures just won't do it justice.“

“The people are super friendly. They just did a remodel and i kind of miss the plush red velvet pillows, but the new chairs are super comfy. The food is delicious and very affordable. Absolutely well worth it. I've never had a bad experience here, it's always been perfect.“

“grate food and very nice verve crevices from zeina she is very nice with costumers and very fast thank you so much Zeina ?“

“Amazing selection of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods. From grape leaves, and a large selection of olives to Armenian string cheese. If you need it they have it. It's a grocery store, deli, and bakery all in one.“

“I just stopped by here for a falafel plate and everything was delicious and fresh. I wasn’t sure what to expect at 10pm on a Sunday, but the hummus, falafel (with fresh mint leaves, which was great), salad, and rice were all just delicious. I can’t speak to the meats since I didn’t get any, but I would definitely eat this again!“

“Gretel was INCREDIBLE!!! My 2 gfs and I walked on Rainey St and she told us about this new rooftop. Music, food, drinks, bartenders were amazing. It’s fun, lively, and a must!! Meal was best I ever had. Bartender was so attentive and puts on a show!!! Truly amazing!!!! Oh…. The view !!!! “

“very fresh food!“

“Awesome delicious fresh cook Mediterranean food!!!“

“Excellent service and food. I will be back.“

“Incredible! I went yesterday & ordered the Lamb Wrap + French fries. Portions are MASSIVE- I can easily get two meals out of both the fries + wrap, which I really appreciate. The lamb immediately stood out to me & I honestly can’t stop thinking about it today- it was so flavorful & tender, probably the best lamb I’ve ever had. The vegetables were fresh, & the fries were really well seasoned. I probably won’t get the fries again just for myself (only because I won’t eat them all by myself- they’re DELICIOUS, would definitely get if I go back with a friend!), but I can’t wait to go back to try the pita bread & hummus, especially since the pita was so delicious in my wrap. The woman who assisted me at the counter was super sweet & just had a very calm, easy way about her. Happy to support this sweet family, & thrilled to have such a delicious truck right across the street!!“

“So delicious!!! A new favorite!!“

“So yummy! Try the lamb! Great in house or to-go. The best hummus I’ve had in a while.“

“Enjoyed the scenery and the atmosphere!“

“love the combination of artistry with food, my absolute favorite food truck and place for eating in Austin hands down. owner incredibly kind and knowledgeable“

“Fantastic lamb over rice get a little salad on the side it good 👍“

“This cava is absolutely spectacular. I've gone several times and are always satisfied. Mrs Jay is amazing and very attentive. They are never our of food and have easy to access parking.“

“Awesome delicious fresh cook Mediterranean food!!!“

“The food is AMAZING! This was my first time and im so impressed! The man helping us was soooo cool and sweet! He even gave us a complimentary pastry for being our first time there. He let us try the gyro as this was the first time for me. Over all an amazing place, amazing service, amazing food! Deff my new favorite place!!!“

“As a part time Door Dasher I frequently pick up here. Observing fresh ingredients, cleanliness and always on point! Definitely worth checking out and repeat!“

“It was good, but, I’ve had better in town. We had chicken shawarma - the hot sauce on it is pretty spicy so if you don’t like spicy then you might ask that to be left off or on the side. The hummus is good. Pita is good but not great, and same for falafel - a little too crispy and tough for me. I see a lot of great reviews so maybe it was just an off day.“

“Ali is the best!

I love Mediterranean food and have tried nearly every truck and restaurant in Austin.

This is the best gyro in the city, hands down.

I met Ali when I was dressed as a Moroccan bedu on Halloween and what do you know that’s where he’s from! Proud to have made a new friend.“

“Ask for Aladin or Liliana . They really pack your gyro all the way!! It’s actually so much food it’s GREAT!!! I will definitely come with them always ! And super affordable! Pregunten por Aladin o Liliana . Le retacan de comida a su plato y es bastante comida! Así , si vale la pena comprar comida ! Los recomiendo al 100!!! Y muy barato!

“I recently had to place orders for individually packaged halal meals for a multi-day corporate event where the venue couldn't provide them, and Zeki and his team saved the day! Not only did Zeki work with me to build custom orders for the group, he was responsive and thorough in his communication. His team was always on time with the deliveries, and we received positive feedback on the quality of the food. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Vegan food choice, got it, to go , small amount and plain food no flavor boulder pop needed to.fast service small inside not much of decorative, of place feeling ,nice staff, The hummus was very plain and too much oil,. Eggplant dip was not smoking enough, and it did taste very plain. It did not taste like eggplant fully the grape leaf was itself oily and yes, you did taste the lemon and the rice was cooked. Very well done almost like baby food melting in your mouth sweet lemony flavor very easy to break with a fork. The falafel needs more flavor profile pop his little too dark for my taste. I want the falafel to be little lighter in the color. I did not like the green bell peppers salad.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly gf choice“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE. I’ve lived in Austin for 3+ years and I’ve eaten at least 50 new places. This place is easily one of the best. Great food. Great service. Great prices. Judy is so polite and pleasant! If you want Mediterranean food I recommend coming here. I guarantee you’ll leave with a smile on your face. 10/10

Vegetarian options: Very easily found vegetarian options

Kid-friendliness: There’s a playground right next door for children and ice cream too.“

“Theyr'e Kefta over rice is the best, also everything is super affordable and tastes great.“

“Perfect and crispy falafels. Not undercooked or overcooked. Creamy and plentiful hummus but I could taste salty as I’m sensitive to high sodium. I just wished that Tabbouleh isn’t too watery or has too much olive oil. Maybe it’s how Lebanese dish is cooked. The lady offered to bring the meal to my car which was nice.“

“This is by FAR the greatest CAVA I’ve ever visited. I’ve honestly had CAVA across the country, mostly in Boston and DC and I have never been wowed like this before.
Right off the bat I knew this was the spot to be. We walked in and the dining room was spotless. Not a single stray lettuce leaf on any tables. The music was at exactly the right volume, loud enough to be heard but not to interrupt conversation.
We approached the line and the team was incredibly nice. A couple bowls backed up, and another team member jumped in to make sure mine was started in a timely manner.
They gave us all individual attention, answered a couple questions and sent us on our merry way. The patio is a great little spot and our bowls were the absolute best.
Another thing I noticed and appreciated was the back kitchen. From the customer view it was clean and efficient. I love that they’ve implemented a separate space for online orders as it definitely takes away from some potential chaos.
(Don’t mind my crumpled up napkins in the photo please and thank you)“

“This place is the backbone of Austin, Texas and I can’t be told otherwise. Please never leave, I love you so much. The food is outstanding, the owner is friendly and a kind, and the prices are so reasonable. I love you USA Halal. I am a customer for as long as you’re here ?“

“Amazing humus and falafel. Excellent customer service and great atmosphere. 🥰😍🎊🙌🙏🙏“

“The food is excellent and the serving portions are amazing for the price. I totally recommend anyone to eat there.“

“Last week I was picking up an order for doordash. While waiting for the order the owner started a lovely conversation with me and gave me a lamb wrap and water. The food is amazing! I just moved here and had never tried Halal before. I will be ordering for myself often! Thank you for amazing service and being so lovely.“

“yummy food with great service!!“

“Best Hummus and Babaganus I've ever had. Difficult to find but I always excited when I do.“
