“USA HALAL is an absolute gem and a must-stop if you’re visiting Austin, TX! The food here is incredibly delicious and packed with flavor, perfectly spiced, and super fresh. My husband and I ordered the beef plate (#4), which comes with rice and a side salad, and the combination was just perfect. The freshness of the salad paired with the savory beef and fluffy rice made for an amazing meal.
One thing to note: the food does take a little while to prepare, so be patient. It’s all made fresh, and you can really taste the difference. If you're in a rush, I’d recommend ordering ahead, but honestly, the wait is totally worth it.
We’re already planning to stop by again on our way back to Houston. Highly recommend checking this place out.You won’t be disappointed!“

It was a 10/10 experience , a five star experience.“

“Exceptional Experience & Incredible Catering!
​Lazeez Mediterranean Restaurant is a true gem, delivering excellence both in-house and through their catering service.
​First, dining at the restaurant is always a delight. The atmosphere is simply lovely—warm, inviting, and perfectly set for a relaxing meal. What truly sets Lazeez apart, however, is the incredibly friendly staff. They are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help. We were particularly impressed that they were always ready to make adjustments according to our demands, ensuring every request was met with a smile and flexibility.
​Recently, we used Lazeez for catering, and it was a massive success! We ordered their Kofta Kebab, and it was an absolute huge hit with all of our guests. The quality was fantastic, the flavor was spot on, and we received countless compliments.
​Whether you're looking for a wonderful dine-in experience or need reliable, delicious catering, look no further than Lazeez. Highly, highly recommended!“

“TX Shawarma is hands-down the BEST when it comes to flavor!

If you're looking for flavor that hits hard and stays with you, TX Shawarma is unbeatable. The seasoning is absolutely perfect — rich, bold, and mouthwatering with every single bite. You can tell they don’t cut corners when it comes to spices and marinades.

The meat is always juicy and perfectly grilled, and the sauces they use take everything to another level. Whether you get it in a wrap or over rice, the flavor combo is just next level. It’s the kind of meal you think about the next day and want again.

I've tried shawarma from all over, and nothing compares to the depth of flavor TX Shawarma at Thicket brings. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out. Flavor is KING here 🔥🔥🔥“

“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!“

“Crazy good falafel, gyro wraps, and lamb over rice. Reasonable prices.

Really good spices and high quality meat, I'm getting hungry just writing this review.

Rice was excellent and sauce was perfect. Could not ask for better quality food, staff was friendly and great view of sunset as you sit and eat.

We will be back!“

“The food is delicious. Very authentic Syrian cuisine. I grew up in Michigan, and the food reminded me of the places that we ate in Dearborn. I will definitely recommend all my friends to eat here.“

“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)“

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

“Awesome delicious fresh cook Mediterranean food!!!“

“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.“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

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

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

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

“The best in Austin“

“Best food ever , great service, excellent food, I recommend everything from the menu“

“Food is always outstanding and fresh, and they are always nice enough to accept substitutions, if requested. Cocktails were delicious and the bartender was delicate and kind enough to remove the salt on the rim of my glass, before he poured it out into a new glass so I wouldn't notice. This was very much appreciated it. The service was also excellent and extremely polite. It's always a great experience!“

“I want to say thank you very much for the absolutely respectful and friendly service. You took my order so fast and returned just as fast with the amazing grape leaves if you haven't had any you need to. I'll be honest if it wasn't to my limitations of money I probably would've ordered the entire menu it all looks so delicious regrettably I've only had the grape leaves but my next trip to Austin i will try new things please for those of you willing go and try it be patient this is good quality food for am good price.“

“Chako Halal Food Truck is located next to the Shell gas station at Braker Lane and Mopac. It has been on my list for a few months and I am glad I finally tried it. I was not too happy with the prices at first but the portions were generous and that made up for it.

I had the Chacko Mix which came with beef, chicken, salad, a bed of rice, and sauce on the side. The beef doner was amazing! It was slightly charred with great flavor. The chicken doner was a bit dry but the salad was unique and reminded me a little of tabbouleh. I would have liked a bit more sauce to help with the dry chicken but overall the dish was flavorful and satisfying.

My wife had the Beef Doner Wrap and it was huge. It was packed with beef doner and veggies and white sauce. It was very flavorful and she absolutely loved it.

All the food is halal and the service was friendly. There's seating behind the food truck. We would definitely eat here again.“

“yummy food with great service!!“

“I been going here two years from bar hopping looking for something different then hectic sixth. This the fun side and the cherry on top is going two building down to halal time. They know my order by heart now. That chicken over rice is amazinggggggg extra spicy please.“

“Loved this little food truck lot with great outdoor seating. We love the deals through Uber Eats for buy 1 get 1 free, but the prices would be really high if dining alone. The gyros were very tasty. The counter service was difficult to communicate with and seemed a bit annoyed that we were coming. It wasn’t slow, but it wasn’t quick. Would go again but only with the b1g1 deal.“

“Great seasoning on chicken shawarma, fantastic choice! Good tzatziki sauce as well and the falafel is good to try but the chicken shawarma was definitely my preference. My friend said the hot dog was fantastic and the burger was ok but we had the burger to go so it wasn’t eaten right away. The fries were seasoned well but I forgot to ask to make them extra crispy as is my preference. The guys are Super nice there, great customer service!“

“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.“

“fresh food. good food portions. friendly staff and environment. Terrance was great, I'd come back just to have him take my order.“
