“The hummus is wonderful and transported me to the Mediterranean, The Falafel is crunchy on the outside soft on the inside and taste so good. The brunch bagel is fresh and tasty. Service is great 11/10. Highly recommend you will not regret eating here, and there's a good chance you'll become a regular.“

“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 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!“

“I love supporting local food trucks, and today I finally tried Reem’s after hearing so much about it from friends—and it absolutely lived up to the hype! I ordered the spicy lamb and beef shawarma wrap, and it was delicious—flavorful, satisfying, and perfectly seasoned. This is high-quality Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food done right. Service was quick and friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot, and I’m already looking forward to trying more from their menu!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love ❤️ the location & friendly staff“

“The first time I tried the falafel wrap from Halal Taza, I went back 2 more nights in a row because it was so good. I have been telling people about this place and brought my husband there and he loved it as well. The food is consistent, flavorful and the veggies are always fresh. We crave this food all the time and even drive 35 min out of our way to get it! 10 out of 10“

“Awesome delicious fresh cook Mediterranean food!!!“

“This place was really good. It’s affordable and it has a lot of options. I got gyros over rice and it was great. I thought it’d be a wrap with the rice, but it’s just the meat part over the rice. The white sauce was great and you can get as much as you want. My friend got the combo over rice and she liked it. The portion size is also great.“

“So delicious!!! A new favorite!!“

“Literally the best Middle Eastern restaurant in Texas. We loved everything from the shawarmas to the falafel sandwiches to the pickles and garlic sauce and even the baklava was great. So authentic and delicious. Mohammad has wonderful customer service and made us feel so welcomed. Thank you!!“

“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.“

“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 🔥🔥🔥“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“Halal Bros is honestly one of my favorite spots in Austin! The food is always fresh, the portions are big, and the flavor never misses. I usually get the chicken and lamb over rice — it’s packed with flavor, and that white sauce is perfect. The staff are super friendly and quick, even when it’s busy. If you’re looking for something delicious, filling, and halal, this is definitely the place to go!“

“5 stars for their chicken kabob over rice, easily their best item. Chicken is very high quality and flavor is immense. Easily my favorite dish from a restaurant in recent memory. Their other forms of chicken/lamb don't come close to the kebab.“

“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!!“
