I just had their beef shawarma plate, with their falafel for an appetizer and the classic walnut baklava for dessert. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted genuinely and home made. The place is quiet and the vibe is just right. The staff was very friendly and so nice. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. read more

I want to love this place more. The hookah place next door is tops, which is how I first noticed this restaurant and added it to my bucket list. I was so excited to try it out, and from the moment I walked in, I thought i was going to be in for a real treat. The ambiance was fantastic, ugly outside but a transformation inside. Sure it looks dated and tacky with Persian rugs dressing up cheap wooden benches, and middle-eastern floor seating that seems off limits unless/until they determine whether they like you or not, but it's Austin. There's real personality here. We were pumped for the food, ordering a pretty epic spread. Great: Gyro. Clearly roasted and carved properly on a spit versus the pre-sliced garbage that often graces lesser Greek and Middle-Eastern establishments. Falafel was exceptionally crispy on the outside and moist inside, accompanied by a lovingly crafted hummus. Meh: literally everything else we had was pretty boring or bad. The rice was clumpy, a clear sign that the rice had been cooled and reheated. That's pretty unforgivable (the only time that's permissible and proper is for fried rice or rice desserts like rice pudding). The chicken was overcooked and bland -- no salt at all. Kofta, which I always look forward to was undercooked and slimy inside. No thank you. From its location, kitschy decor, and friendly service I really REALLY wanted to love this place, but sadly, the food is what fell far from the mark. I hope they find their mojo. read more

we had high hopes, the atmosphere is so cute, its tucked away and well decorated. We got hummus, beef shawarma plate, and a mixed meat plate and everything was very bland the hummus did not have any taste, it tasted like chickpea and water, no garlic, olive oil, or tahini was tasted. the pita bread came out cold and it feels like it was prebought and thrown on a plate to serve. the plates were okay, also lacking in flavor and lacking in meat. Glad we gave this spot a shot but there's better mediterranean food in town! i think they might make better burgers and pizza here? maybe next time we'll give those a try! read more

One of my dining companions has been coming to this place for years, was finally able to join him to enjoy a little pizza. This Mediterranean establishment has a very cool decor and you're really transformed into a different place as soon as you walk in the door. I will be coming back to try their other food choices and I definitely will be becoming back again for the pizza. The crust was a perfect balance between thin and deep and had a wonderful flavor it was just the right thickness to be foldable and enjoy all the luscious toppings. You ordered at the counter and they brought you the food, there was really no table service. No alcohol, but iced tea and fountain drinks. read more

Arpeggio Grill - Giant Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

We had a birthday lunch for a work colleague here because it was within walking distance. I figured it would just be ok since it seemed like it was more for convenience sake than for anything else. One of my colleagues vouched for the value of their lunch special and how everyone was nice. The set-up is semi-buffet style. You choose the sides from their line and then you get to pick your protein choice, ring up and and done. We had a fairly large group but they accommodated us by shuffling some chairs and tables together. My beef shawerma was decent and maybe it had been a while but the tabbouleh was pretty good too. read more

I got the lunch special which came with meat and some choices of 3 sides, bread, and salad. I thought the meat was seasoned well and was tender. The hummus was pretty good but the pita and garlic bread were dry and kind of stale. I particularily enjoy falafel but my boyfriend liked it! The inside is quite dim but there is plenty of seating and the workers are super nice and explained their menu well and made us feel welcome. read more

I visited ARPEGGIO Grill today and was disappointed with my experience. I ordered a pizza and waited about 15-20 minutes for it to arrive. After the pizza was served, I was told that there was no ketchup available. It would have been much better if the staff had informed me before taking my order. If I had known there was no ketchup, I would have chosen something else from the menu. Telling customers after the order is placed is not good customer service. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my meal and left feeling disappointed. I hope the restaurant improves communication with customers in the future. read more

Update: Still delish and still the best lunch spot! Literally nothing bad in the menu at all. read more

Terrible. Got the lunch special. Undercooked hard rice and hard pita. Chicken was not good at all. Took 2 bites and got up and left. Flies on the food on the hot food line. One of the worst meals I've ever had. read more

SERVICE/AMBIANCE: - The interior of the restaurant is beautiful! There are beautiful murals on the wall that give a middle eastern/Mediterranean vibe. There are tables but also floor seating with cushions. FOOD - Their food is halal, including their meat lovers pizza which has beef pepperoni, sausage, and ham. I was excited to try this since I don't eat pork. It was VERY heavy and a bit greasy. I could eat a max of 2 slices - We also ordered a gyro wrap that was good, very standard. - We ordered some baklava for dessert, which was tasty read more

Arpeggio Grill - Meat Eater (Medium) - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

This restaurant use to be good. Came in ordered food to go. Came to $87. Chicken kabob was dry and unflavored. Rice was unflavored as well. Lamb was very sinuous and not very flavorful. The counter people were not very friendly and bent out of shape when I asked for extra napkins. I no longer recommend this place. read more

Drove 20 mins north of downtown and got a cramped up table for lunch with folks at work. The customer service was great and the orders were served on time. The ambiance wasn't great but it was really authentic and looked a bit worn out or old. Probably that make sense for affordable prices in this economy. My order: Falafel plate Baba Ghanouj Dolma Hummus and Pita The falafels were good but not piping hot and was a little towards the blander side. The basmati rice in the entree with hummus pairing was alright. nothing great about it. The baba ghanouj and dolma were good. I will return next time and try their lunch plates. read more

This used to be one of my favorite lunch spots when I worked one street over but our office moved and it has been years since I've been back. Yesterday one of my friends and I decided to visit for lunch and I remembered exactly why it was a favorite of mine. The restaurant has a great ambiance, very friendly service and great food. We decided to get the lunch special which comes with your choice of protein, greek salad, choice of 3 sides and a drink ($13ish). We both decided to get the gyro meat as our protein and it was so tender and flavorful. I like to slater it in their tatziki sauce (ask for extra!). For my sides, I chose the lentil rice, pasta and a veggie mix with chicken. It was soo good! Everything is absolutely delicious so you can't go wrong no matter what you choose. I'm definately not going to let years pass again before I return. read more

Really clean, good service. Food was "gas station" quality. What my bf ordered was decent. Dolma appetizer and a plate with 1/2 chicken, 1/2 lamb. Lamb was greasy. Chicken had flavor but was dry.

This restaurant sits at the end of a small strip center with 3 other businesses. To be honest, I'm not the most knowledgeable on Mediterranean cuisine, but I'm always in search of the best gyro. Since this was my first time here, I decided to read a few dozen reviews, usually the three star and under reviews reveal much. Many yelpers really like the pizza here especially the Halal meat pizza, but they expect you to tip before you even receive the meal which rubbed some people the wrong way. The interior has a great vibe and they do offer cross legged seating on the floor. You can order off the menu, but they do offer a buffet choice as well. On a nice day you can sit outside at one of several tables. I came here at what would be considered the noon lunch rush on a Friday and there were about 10 of us in the restaurant. Now the primary thing I look for in a good gyro is if they actually go to the considerable effort to layer the levels of lamb and pork cutlets together on the spit. That does take a lot of effort and expense which is why I seldom if ever see this. This place is no exception, as I quickly recognized the preformed previously frozen gyro meat spinning in the kitchen. And sure enough, the gyro meat served on the bed of rice was a little dry and lacked any redeeming flavor. The pita bread was fairly dry, but they have a good tzicki sauce. At least the small side salad was very fresh and the bismatti rice was buttery. I would visit this place again, but I think I'll definitely go with the pizza next time. Plenty of photos included to round out this review. read more

Bumped them one star because of service issues. However, the lunch special gyro with three sides was a good deal and tasted great. I chose hummus, spicy rice, and some type of chicken vegetable stew as my three sides and it came with a Greek salad as well. So after we placed our order and got our three sides with the salad and paid they said they would bring the gyros out to us however apparently they gave our order away to someone else. Then a lunch rush hit, so by the time we did get our gyros we pretty much had finished up our three sides and salad so we didn't have much to eat with the meat that finally made it our way. I know restaurants aren't perfect and they do make mistakes but for me what really counts when a mistake is made is the apology afterwards, which was non-existent. The issue didn't take away from the great taste of the food and we probably would come back, although next time we're going to keep an eye on our order before someone else snatches it up. read more

Arpeggio Grill - Lunch special, gyro with three sides. Very good - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

I am pretty surprised at how many good reviews this place has on here and on Google... maybe they used to be better before or maybe we went on an off day but I was not impressed whatsoever. As soon as I went inside I had a bad taste in my mouth from how the customer service was because I was going in to reserve a table before my whole party arrived and the man talking to me talked to me like I was dumb and kept asking me in a rude way "did you understand?" And was demeaning in general. I saw him speak in this way to other people as well so I guess that's something. However, most of the party that arrived said that they were too hungry to drive to somewhere else so we came and sat in this establishment and had our lunch which consisted of burgers, fries, a chicken salad, wraps, and a few pizzas. The people who had the wrap all said that the wraps were way too small for the price which I agree with because they were eating pizza that was supposed to be enough to have leftovers because they were still so hungry . The chicken salad was fine but I also expected it to be a larger size for the price because it was not very filling. The pizza itself was very good and I enjoyed the pizza because it was hot and fresh from the oven. We had to do all of the other things ourselves including getting the menu, giving out orders refilling cups and going to get fountain drinks . This is not some place that I would be visiting again-- unless it was only to pick up pizza. read more

I was a little skeptical when I saw they had an entire wing section on the back of their menu. I mean how authentic could this food really be. But then you walk in and they have an entire section where people can sit on the floor to eat, and you don't see that everyday. I kept it simple, got a gyro with fries, they took a little longer but that means they were fresh so I could live with it. They make a decent humans too. read more

The meats were so flavorful, cheese was cheesy without being too greasy and the sauce on the crispy wings was zingy and finger licking delicious. read more

Worst "Mediterranean" food I've ever had. Ordered lamb and they gave me beef so overcooked it was like a rock and no spices. The rice was white. Mediterranean rice is supposed to have lots of flavor/spices. And the pita bread is pre-made worst pita I've ever had. They do not know how to cook let alone use a decent recipe. Also, they forgot to deliver one of our orders. Absolute garbage I don't know how they are still in business. read more

Dinner with friends took on a new meaning here. I've never been and they had a sitting area with rugs and lamps and short tables! It was so relaxing and fun sitting on the floor enjoying amazing food with friends. I had koufta w/greek salad with huge portions. The desert, pistachio baklava was the best desert I've had in years! The staff were nice and it wasn't like a sit down and order place so there was little interaction with them. Love this place. Coming back for the pizza! read more

Oh man! This restaurant shouldn't missed by anyone by any chance. They got a variety that you want to try everything on their menu. I ordered large Arpeggio pizza. The pepperoni brings a salty, slightly spicy punch, while the black olives add a briny depth. The red onion's gentle sweetness balances the savory notes, and the Italian pepper's subtle heat keeps things interesting It's a place where you can grab a casual bite with friends or enjoy a relaxed date night. The staff at Arpeggio is friendly and efficient. They know their menu inside out and are happy to offer recommendations. Whether you're a seasoned pizza pro or a newbie, they'll make sure you have a great experience. I have been there many times and it always been wonderful experience. Usually weekends are busiest. So next time you're craving a pizza that's both delicious and stylish, head to Arpeggio and prepare to be wowed. Just remember, one slice might not be enough. They also lot of parking spaces where you don't have to worry about parking. read more

Arpeggio hasn't changed a thing since the last time I was here in 2016. The staff is incredible -- they went out of their way to accommodate my friend by making her a Greek salad without feta.

The vibe is still super casual and comfortable and I am so happy this place is still rockin'. read more

The rice in the dolmas is very hard ... it's like it's very old not even chewy just hard . . I've been here multiple times and it's always the same with their dolmas. Whoever is cooking the rice for them needs to cook the rice much longer .... And they definitely they need to have honey that is imperative for their green tea ... no excuse to not have that . sugar is terrible for you . I can get packets of sugar at McDonalds . I'm here for good food NOT fast food The grilled Chicken Kabob with rice was so so . No real complaints ... nothin to write home about . It was passable Arpeggio Grill could make a lot more money and have a line out the door but they need to focus on the food read more

We wanted to branch out a bit and try a new Mediterranean restaurant this evening. So, we ordered the Chicken Shwarma plate, Baba Ganoush, Lentil Soup, and Tabouleh. Since we're long time Austinites, our baseline for good Mediterranean takeout food is Phoenicia. None of the items we ordered were not as tasty as Phoenicia (especially the Shwarma). Also, we ordered Baba Ganoush and received Hummus instead. I recommend bypassing Arpeggio Grill and getting takeout from Phoenicia. So, I give 2 stars to Arpeggio. read more
