Middle Eastern Restaurants in Austin, TX

“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.“

“Okay so I'm not giving 5 stars because the food was good but not excellent. Crudo was more like a ceviche. Not a fan of some of their flavor combinations and something was off about the manner in which you were supposed to eat the dishes. I was excited about the hummus but it came with these puffy rolls (they were tasty) that just weren't good for gathering up the hummus and meat and then when we asked if we could have more to finish the hummus, they brought back one roll even though there were two of us. Then they didn't tell you that pits came with the protein dish so we ordered rice for nothing. Also not a fan of being forced to order everything at once but food comes out individually, with time in between anyway. Favorite thing we tried was the falafel. Food was very fresh!“

“I had the pleasure of enjoying my first plate of yumminess while attending Mythicon last weekend. It was so great to have some authentic middle eastern. It was delicious. The staff was so fun and friendly that we got so busy chatting I forgot to pay. I felt horrible and when I returned to pay, they were so grateful for my honesty that they insisted I enjoy my complimentary meal. So, free and delish! Win win!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The lamb over rice and falafel are great. The guys that run this place are some of the nicest people you may ever meet in a food truck. Just go!“

“Great falafel, lots of parsley which I thought really put it over the edge. Really loved the tahini sauce. Only thing I did wrong was that I didn’t order their hummus. Next time! Super friendly staff. Updated from previous review on 2024-09-01“

“As an owner you should not deceive people by advertising this as a set down restaurant. You should clearly indicate it’s only take away. The food was good but we had to eat our food in the pick up lobby because we drove 40 minutes to get to this place and we didn’t want to take it away other wise the food will get cold.“

“Love ❤️ the location & friendly staff“

“WHY IS THIS PLACE ONLY IN AUSTIN?! It’s that good.

The Combination Plate with extra sauce and pita is an absolute must-try—you’ll thank me later. The portions are incredibly generous, easily making three meals out of one order. It’s flavorful, filling, and always a stop on my list whenever I’m in town.“

“I ordered catering from Abu Omar first time. I had eaten at the food truck many times. They really improved their service quality better. And the taste was really great both the gyro and chicken shawarma. And their menu has improved as well. Many more options added. I wanna try this more often
Thank you.

Great food“

“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.“

“Awesome delicious fresh cook Mediterranean food!!!“

“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!“

“Very pleasant service by a very beautiful young lady. She was very helpful and courteous. The food was outstanding with lots of flavor!!! I will definitely go back!!“

“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.

“This was my first time ordering here and this place is great! I ordered take out online and ordered a gyro bowl. I ordered chicken and lamb. The food is so delicious and they give you American portions! Huge portions for good price. I’m happy with the spicy sauce, it’s extra spicy too and not like your typical basic hot sauce. In depth spicy flavor. Overall good experience, busy location but quick with service, staff up front were great and nice. Will be coming back for dine in.“

“So yummy! Excellent customer service! Can’t wait to go back. Five stars! Keep us posted as to your location, please.“

“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.“

“The best in Austin“

“Serving sizes are abundant and why I keep returning. Their pita bread is delicious. Chicken and beef shawarma are both good. Gyro meat is amazing. Baklava is a delicious add-on!!! Last time when I ordered with doordash I didn't know the order arrived for 18 minutes and it was still piping hot when I opened it.“

“food was hella good. got the Max wrap did not disappoint“
