A meal at the Med Chef is truly a unique experience. The location is basically a hummus production facility with a few tables for guests-- if you're lucky enough to be one. If you're not intimidated by pallets of chickpea cans or buckets of Hummus ready for distribution, then you will love the fare here and the reasonable prices.
Phil ordered the falafel wrap and loved it. He said it was the freshest he'd ever had and it was served on a generous wrap with multiple falafel balls. The tzatzki sauce was perfect!
I had the Nikki Special -- a salad covered in lamb shwarma, served on a large wrap, and I really enjoyed the flavor mix.
We topped it off with a couple of baklava pieces which were just sweet enough with a generous filling of spiced walnut pieces.
In addition to our meal we left with a deli container of Grandma's Hummus, which turned out to be delicious. We were happy to discover HEB carries their brand.
The owners were truly friendly and obviously love what they are doing. We hope to return next time we're in the area to sample other menu items.

Easily the best food I’ve had here in Austin. The owners were so kind and gave us the best service! Needless to say I will be back asap. I wish I had pictures but we all devoured everything immediately 😭😂

The cafe has reopened recently after a hiatus that came from the pandemic. The owner, Nikki and her partner welcomed and served us. They were so kind, welcoming, and generous.
The owner is truly extraordinary and knows how to put flavors together to create a delicious meal. She is Turkish and was raised in Turkey with her family’s food. She studied chemical engineering, worked in nutritional analysis laboratories, and worked as a food service director. Now she is running the cafe on the side while selling a variety of delicious mediterranean products to H-E-B!
The food was generous and delicious for the prices. We also had complimentary mint tea. I highly recommend trying the nikki salad with the balsamic dressing. It was truly delicious. 🤤
We plan on coming back more to try out all of the foods on the menu. This is a must try spot.

I had an amazing experience at the Mediterranean Chef Cafe. We tried the Nikki Special, which was absolutely delicious. I learned its named after the owner who added it to the menu after crafting it for her own lunch and customers asked to have it, it’s a standout dish. The variety on the menu, from Gyros, Wraps andmeat pie, is incredibly tempting, and I can’t wait to come back and try everything else on the menu. Highly recommended!

Restaurant is permanently closed. They only produce the Hummus here now.

Delicious Hummus, definitely one of the best recipes I've tried!
Your website says open until 8pm and the "Open" sign outside is bright, but you'd rather lock the door and not be open at 6:30pm? We were excited to try the food here, but not so sure now if we can count on you to be open.

I searched for a restaurant that was open and when I called they said they were closed this was Wednesday at 11am . when I went back to check the business hours they were closed all days except Wednesday so their hours are either inaccurate or they are refusing business. It's ok ill though I'll take my money else where :)

Fantastic food, super nice people, reasonably priced. I tried so hard to save some of my gyro for my husband to try, but I failed. Absolutely delicious.

A hidden gem with great Greek food. I checked this place out because there are no other Greek restaurants in the area, and I was not disappointed!
