“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!“

“This place has been consistently amazing for the past two years I’ve been coming here. It fed me when I was new to the area and looking for something different, fed my pregnancy cravings, and has been our go-to for many lazy Sunday date nights. I truly can’t recommend this food enough. The portions are generous, the ingredients are always fresh, and the quality never misses. Wishing this business nothing but continued success — they’ve earned a loyal customer for life.💛“

“Both the beef and chicken shawarma were delicious, and it was so satisfying to share them together. The restaurant surprised us with a baklava sample that was amazing in texture and taste! We will definitely retiren and recommend this highly to others! ❤️“

“Used to come here all the time before Covid whenever we drove my brother to Austin for school, then it was closed for a long time for some reason. Recently realized it finally opened back up and have had it a couple times again - easily better than Halal Guys. Fantastic portion sizes and tastes great, especially the chicken. Will always come back whenever I'm visiting Austin!“

“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 🔥🔥🔥“

“Really enjoyed our visit to Lazeez. Good food, nice people worth checking out.

We had both the beef and chicken shawerma plate with rice and hummus and the food was good. But what stood out to me was how we were immediately treated and welcomed into the restaurant.“

“Great Food..“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Got takeout from here a few times, quick service, tasty, and reasonably priced! I will say that I would prefer if you got more food when asking for add ons (chickpeas, parsley) but it’s not a big deal. Also found the fries a little under salted for my taste but because the sauces are so flavorful it works out.

I would reccomend ordering through their website, it’s easier than any delivery apps in my experience.“

“I visited Chako for the first time on Sunday with some family and we all LOVED the food!! We were so excited to try the shawarmas and the food was better than expected! Food was served within 10 minutes of ordering and food was very warm! The man serving us was so friendly and even with a language barrier between us he gave exceptional service. He even got off his truck to come and ask how our food was and made sure we didn’t need anything else.I will definitely be coming here more often!🤗“

“Halal Bros is a must-try! The food is absolutely delicious – fresh, and perfectly cooked. You can tell the cooks know what they're doing. Thanks to the cashier was also super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Great food and great service!“
