Solid Mediterranean to go on the western edge of downtown. We're running out of options over here, but at least Austin's Habibi has managed to hold on. Order online and chances are high your food will be ready to go by the time you get there. Even if you don't order until you walk up, it doesn't typically take more than 5 minutes. My usual is the combo plate. Gyro meat (beef and lamb?), chicken, rice, and greek salad. Usually I don't get the hummus, but today they gave me a plate with hummus and what I like is the different container they use. The salad, instead of being under hot meat and sauces, is in it's own pocket. Either way, this is an always pleasing meal at a decent price. I can barely get a salad from Whole Foods for $15, much less a warm plate as generous as this. If you do need to eat it on site, they're next to the Tiniest Bar and there are tables and chairs around. It can get a little hot, but there's some shade. read more

They can't get a basic gyro right! It is either too salty, or too much flavor and soupee (curry on it) and sometimes, no healthy salad/vege ingredients at all. Beef Shawarma Wraps are even worse, ingredients (vege and meat inside) are often not fresh, taste bitter! Not coming back here.. They have nice 25% off promo on Fridays (looks like the banner is gone). read more

Dare I say this was life changing....might have been the walk I was forced to make. The salad was refreshing in between bites of rice, their sauces were excellent and the chicken was tender pairing perfectly with their rice. I loved their hummus as well drizzled with olive oil. Casual ambiance but worth it for good food. read more

Oh. My. Gosh. The Greek Gyro Salad was to die for! Hubs and I walked over to this food truck for lunch as I was feeling salad-ish. The pictures looked promising so we made our way over. The truck is parked in a nook with other food trucks and as plenty of benches to eat around. The only con? There are flies everywhere. We walked over a couple of blocks where we found some tables to eat outside of the Trader Joe's spot. The gyro meat was flavorful and juicy. The salad was topped with the perfect amount of dressing and toppings (onions, tomatoes, and olives). Hubs ordered a wrap and scarfed it. I was picking at his fries which had ketchup and white sauce drizzled over them and they tasted great. The staff was friendly. Packaging was clean and presentable. And most importantly, the food was delicious. read more

Decent option if you're in the mood for gyros where they do plates, wraps, over hummus, over salad, or over French fries. We tried the chicken salad and the combo plate over fries plus a side of hummus. The hummus was a bit bland but paired with the other dishes it was okay. read more

What a yummy lunch. I ordered from GrubHub today: the beef shawarma Wrap with fries and baklava. The wrap was stuffed to the brim with shawarma, but had an equal amount of their awesome salad mix: romaine lettuce tomatoes with a fine dice of cucumber. No big pieces perfectly complemented the savory and delicious meat. The white and red sauce added some nice but not overpowering heat. The fries were ketchup and the white sauce. These were your typical fast food thin fries, and I wasn't overly impressed, but the wrap more than makes up for it. The baclava was sweet and flaky, honey and small chopped nuts that was a perfect dessert to finish my lunch. I loved the food, and will definitely try a plate next time to get some of their Greek salad. So nice to have an alternative to Kebablicious since I no longer work downtown. Grateful for GrubHub; the order was packed well and didn't spill. read more

They drowned my lunch! I started with the fries, which were nicely packed in a little box, which was smart because this was basically French Fry soup. There was so much sauce, the fries had gone completely soggy by the time I got home. I switched from fingers to fork, then gave up. And I rarely give up on fries! Meanwhile my BF was working on the hummus, which he said was "bland" and "weird." He is super picky about hummus, so I gave it a try and had to agree with him. It tasted to me like watered-down tahini, and slightly metallic. No hint of chickpeas, lemon, garlic, etc. I moved on to my Combo Wrap. At first, I tried to eat it like a burrito, as God intended. But She never met as wet a gyro wrap as this. I ended up putting it on a plate and actually blotting it with paper towels! Once I'd done that, it was better, but it was all so soggy that after I'd eaten most of the salad part, I put it in a skillet to crisp it up a bit. After that, it was delicious. If I go back--a big if at this point--I'll skip the hummus and say, "Don't drown my lunch!!!" read more

So much flavor and such a reasonable price. You get a hefty, flavorful sandwich on pita PLUS fries with delicious sauce on top all for $9. You can't find a better deal and better food for that amount. HOWEVER, the menu is not exhaustive about what ingredients they include in the sandwiches. If you don't like raw onions (like me) or perhaps peppers, beware that both of these unmentioned ingredients were in my sandwich. read more

Tried this for the first time on an Uber Eats delivery and it was just okay. We ordered both the chicken salad and chicken plate. It started off not great when we didn't get the red sauce with either of our meals. Also asked for all sauce on the side and that didn't happen either, but oh well, could be worse. I thought all our food lacked flavor in general and then the chicken plate ended up having bones in it, pretty gross to bite into. Would not order from here again. May be better in person, but delivery is a no go. read more

If you just keep on walking, all the way down the main drag, and then you pretty much have left the main concentration of bars and restaurants and loud music, and then. you still keep walking a block off of the main drag, then you've found it. Located next to what can only be described as a lonely dive bar, the setup here is a permanent food truck/cart kind of situation, with a little courtyard full of picnic tables. Though it shared the courtyard with another truck (Mexican, maybe? Thai? ) I never saw the other truck open. We stopped by in the height of SXSW and had the entire courtyard to ourselves. It was cold that first night, and since it's only outdoor seating, that makes sense. We came back on the last night--a beautiful Austin spring night--and there were two other groups, so I get the feeling it's not exactly a hot destination. And that was perfect for me, I was tired and in need of quick food both times, and it's very affordable so the party people can have their packed, loud bars. I went back and forth, but both times landed on getting a wrap and not a plate. The first night was chicken, and the last was a combo. I liked the chicken a little better, and the sauce really brought it to life, with that signature creaminess, with just the right amount of spice. I added dolmas the last night but would skip them next time. The wrap and fries are plenty and kept me far under my budget. While not perfect, this was dang delicious, plenty fast, and super cheap. read more

Wanted to love this place since Greek food is my favorite, but I'm sure how it even has 4 stars... Ordered the gyro salad and for $16, I received a bed of mostly lettuce with gyro crumble on top. The gyro meat should be in longer strips and not how it was, and taste was very mediocre. Hummus on the side had an odd flavor. Dressing was good. Not a great meal and insanely overpriced. Can't speak to service since I didn't dine-in. read more

Gyro overstuffed and the meat was sooo tender! Such flavors! Red and white fries to die for. Baklava extra sweet with honey hit my sweet tooth just right. Cheesecake was small for the price but the richness made up for it. Favor delivery was fast and affordable. This is on my favorites list. read more

Love Habibi, but they're getting skimpy on their fries. Good food fairly fast. Love the worker that moved to San Marcus. Have never had bad food but it does seem portions are shrinking. read more

Food was pretty good. I just wish on deliveries the sauce was not put inside the wraps. By the time you get the food it's a soggy mess. Should include sauces on the side! read more

Our experience was quite mediocre, especially given the gentleman at the truck was just short and temperamental for no obvious reason. With so many fabulous options for Middle Eastern food, this truck escaped the top-ten recommendation list from us. Flavors were A-OK - nothing to return for. read more

Amazing food! Fast and friendly service! Cute little food truck with some seating outside.

Excellent chicken and rice plate. Chicken is well seasoned and rice is sublime. Must be cooked in a rich flavorful broth to make the rice this good. Hummus is good but a little on the grainy side. Couldve used a piece of pita for the hummus. read more

Austin's Habibi - Chicken plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I picked up Austin's Habibi after work on a Friday night and tried the combo on rice with baklava. The combo was a bit mixed for me--the hot sauce and white sauce didn't really hit, and the gyro was a little on the salty side. The chicken, however, was solid and paired well with the cooked rice. Overall, it was an okay dinner, nothing too exciting. But the baklava? That was fire. Sweet, crispy, and exactly what I was looking for coming into a cold week. read more

I hardly ever write reviews, but I ordered delivery from this place and got a beef shawarma plate and some chicken shawarma and both were so bad that I ended up throwing it in the trash after few bites. The shawarma was the worst I've ever had but beyond that it was so bad it wasn't even comparable to any previous shawarma I've ever had. The so called "beef" was extremely small hard nuggets of something that I guess might have been beef, but only detracted from the rice that it was laid over. The amount of "beef" was also very small. The chicken was at least recognizable as chicken, but was very unpleasantly pasty in texture. I put some sauce over it and had a few bites, but I couldn't stomach it. The little side salad where I would normally expect some palate cleansing cucumber chopped red tomato was mostly onions. The small amount of hummus was edible. I have no earthly idea how this restaurant got anything over a 1 star, but my guess is they mostly sell wraps and cover up their ingredients with sauces and bread. I'm not sure how whoever is making this food can avoid feeling shame. I aware this is a very harsh review, but when a place serves such unacceptable fare as I received, they deserve such. I will certainly never have anything to do with this restaurant again after having to throw away the food they gave me. read more

Inconsistent for me for delivery - food wise. I've ordered the fried mozzarella sticks twice and unless you know how to bring back their golden crispiness on your stovetop, they're kind of a wash. The last hummus batch I received was rancid. And not the first time I've found it inedible, which is a shame because I'd like to think this part of my order I'm thinking about my future self and how I'll want to snack on this, so I'm always so sad when that doesn't come to fruition. Love the pita and love the plates and salads. Always a mountain of food slathered in all the right kinds of sauces. read more

Ordered ahead for lunch and was able to pick up my food right away even though I was a few minutes early. The person working the register was friendly and accommodated my request for extra rice instead of salad that I put in through the app. The portion size was great for the price, including generous serving of chicken compared to the amount of rice. The chicken was pretty juicy, but not super flavorful. The white sauce was creamy, but I was surprised the hot sauce didn't register more flavor; even after I asked for extra it still only gave a mild flavor to the dish. Overall, a solid spot for a filling meal, but nothing spectacular flavor wise. read more

It wasn't terrible. We ordered the beef shawarma plate and the rice was a bit under cook. You could tell right away (visually) by the tightness of the grain -- that and the fact it was semi transparent which is what undercooked rice tends to look like. The beef was a bit salty but aromatics were there. My husband and I are new to Austin but have been struggling to find authentic ANYTHING. Was really hoping this restaurant could've filled the void but we'll keep looking. read more

Excellent falafel, good otherwise. The falafel is the thing here - hot, crisp, and crunchy while texturally complex at the same time (the inside m'friend, which is both soft, and has the occasional toothy feel). The rest of the food is good, but oh, those falafel! And the rice to go with it! (And yeah, for you hummus fanatics, that's good too). BTW, the whole thing is in the mini food court next to the "tiniest bar in texas" thing. The point being, get thee some falafel, wander over, and have one or more beers... read more

Ordered the beef & chicken plates. The beef was SO incredibly salty that my friend couldn't eat his meal at all. My chicken plate was meh. They were out of an appetizer & rather than contacting me or giving me my money back for it, they simply replaced it with something else (I didn't want). Very disappointed. We will never eat here again. read more

This place makes for a decent quick food stop. The service was friendly and fast. The salad was fresh, the hummus tasted good, and the chicken and rice was great especially with the sauce but I would probably ask for a little more red sauce next time. My friend and I shared a single chicken hababi plate and it was enough to satisfy both of us. I'd try this place out again in the future. read more

This is my new favorite falafel spot. Spiced perfectly, filling, crisp outside and not rubbery like others'. Obvi the food is halal and they have plenty of options for the vegans. Minus one star because the fries are drenched in sloppy creams/sauce. (If you know me from my other reviews, sloppy food is a huge pet peeve). I scarfed down a cauliflower wrap, dolma, and falafel, for the grand total of 1 Groupon and 2 dollars. read more

We passed by this place in high hopes because it was 4 stars. i ordered the combo shawarma which was pretty good overall- until i tried the hummus i ordered on the side. The hummus had a weird hard film on top as of it had been sitting out of the fridge for a long time and it DEFINITELY tasted expired. it was extremely bitter but i think it was left out for too long and went bad. read more

This place is hit or miss to be honest. Portions are very inconsistent. I've been here three times and the first time they gave me so much food it was insane. The food was like filled to the top... almost looked like it was going to explode. But then the next times it was like half full and more lettuce than rice or meat. They also give a lot of sauce sometimes or not a lot. They got my order wrong when I asked for no hot sauce and I almost died bc the hot sauce is pretty dang spicy. But when lulu do get lucky, the food is really good. In my opinion, better than halal guys since halal guys can be dry at times. The falafel is pretty good but I think that's hit or miss as well. The customer service that you get will vary depending on who serves you. I had a really nice person serve me but then another time the man was not friendly. Give it a try, and see how you like it. read more

Ordered the gyro plate and got food poisoning from it. It was a long three days of recovering. Please be careful eating here.

I love hummus so I thought I should try this place. On Grubhub, they have $8 off an order of $12. Okay!!! I ordered the Gyro wrap with fries and a side of hummus. Okay...I had lamb as a kid and I hated it. Hated it! I think because my mom said it was beef (picky eater, okay?) and it didn't taste right. Back to my sandwich. This amazing pita wrapped wonderfulness just removed all hesitation I have towards lamb. It came with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, i think cucumbers, and a white and red sauce. It had a spicy symbol on it. I'm a sissy when it comes to spice. This made my forehead sweat but not in a "what hell is this?" sweat. The fries had a signature sauce. Tasted like spicy ketchup. I ate them and am not complaining. I was beyond full and did not eat the hummus. I cannot wait to eat here again! No pics. It was messy and in my belly before I thought about a picture. read more

This food truck is delish! The combo plates have a subtle Indian flavor. The dressing on the salads are this amazing creamy Greek. The fries are smothered in a sweet ketchup. The outdoor space where you eat is funky and right next the small Texas bar with rock music playing. Great place! read more

The food truck on Menchaca has consistently good food. Their falafel is light and delicious! I'm addicted.

Aside from the outstanding food they serve here, let me just tell you how amazing their customer service is. I ordered a DoorDash order at lunch here and accidentally hit pickup instead of delivery. Unable to leave a job site to come and pick it up I called and asked if they could just put it in the fridge till I get off. The owner Ali who I spoke with said no I'll come and bring it to you. In his personal truck, he drove the order all the way to me and then refused my tip when I offered. What a solid dude!!! read more

Love their hummus and all of their plate options. Great balance of meat, rice, dips and salad! Great for a quick and easy workweek lunch, and not pricy either. read more

Food arrived over an hour late I ordered a falafel salad. It was comprised of lettuce, tomato, and falafel. There were no olives, feta, cucumber, cheese, or sweet peppers like the menu says it contains. Also ordered a side of tabouli, and didn't receive it. I got dolmas instead. I didn't order dolmas. I told the driver that my order was wrong, and he said he "grabbed the two items he saw" and to contact Grubhub. He didn't seem apologetic or to care at all. What the hell is wrong with y'all? Is it dumb cooks, or dumb drivers? This is the millionth time I've been disappointed with GrubHub delivery. I'm done with y'all. read more

The best Mediterranean food truck in Austin the gyro plate is great! Easy location to get to.

I have wanted to try this place for a really long time and finally got to today! I was really impressed with the service here. My boyfriend, roommate, and I ordered 6 dishes and they finished making them in 10-15 minutes (we ordered on the phone and then drove there to pick up). We asked for extra sauces and the server happily gave us a generous amount. They seem to genuinely love what they do and their customers. The food tasted great and I would definitely recommend this place! read more
