    Chicken over rice
    Keshav N.

    It's two homies in a truck making some good Syrian style food. We didn't expect the fried chicken over rice since we thought it was going to be gyro style cuts. The sauce is unique and a mix of sweet and savory. The people working there were super nice and there's two tables to eat at or other vendors there. I would go check it out when you get a chance!

    The food is absolutely phenomenal. The service is incredible. Cheesesteak - 5/5 Fries - 5/5 Falafel - 5/5 The entire menu is insanely delicious. The steak is fresh and cooked perfectly. The falafel is amazing. Crispy outside, soft tasty inside. The service is excellent. Super nice guy, making fresh, tasty food with passion and love.

    Lamb and chicken over rice!

    My desire to try other Mediterranean foods brought me to this food truck while looking for lunch at work. My "go-to" from food trucks is the combo over rice, so I ordered that. For starters, the to-go container was filled with lamb, chicken, rice, and salad. The lamb was thinly sliced, and the chicken was fried instead of grilled, which added a different twist. The rice was seasoned well and flavorful, and the salad was crisp and fresh. The dressings richened the dish, but I failed to ask for some heat, which was the drawback of the dish. Finally, all of my cohorts from the hospital should make the short drive to this food truck for some excellent Mediterranean food. The operator was friendly and produced way before he promised it!

    Cheese steak fries & falafel were served hot and fresh! The man in the food truck was helpful, courteous and very friendly. He mentioned the menu hasn't been finalized but everything I tried was memorable. The chicken shawarma is a decent portion and palate pleasing but this place hit it out of the park with their cheesesteak fries (which is a cheesesteak minus the bun topped over fries). The falafel were perfectly crispy and bite sized with a really good flavor.

    Best Mediterranean sandwiches in town. It's Mediterranean w/ style and amazing flavors. - Chicken Shawarma is not like any you ever tasted! - Chicken Franshiska is to die for! - Cheesesteak melts in your mouth!!! - Kabob sandwich is DELICIOUS!! This is what we tried from the menu so far, will update this post when we try more!!!

    Bu'jadoh is a Syrian American food truck located in North Austin. When we arrived we were greeted kindly. We both got the lamb kabob express (wrap), and shared the steak fries with the falafel. The wraps were huge and they were not shy on the fillings (win). It was decent but now I'm thinking I should have tried the chicken shawarma instead The steak fries were a little bit on the sweeter side and I was caught off guard for a moment. Perhaps the sauce that came on it? The falafels were my favorite!! Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft filling on the inside. Everything was well made really well and you can tell the owners put love into their food. It just wasn't for me.

    Probably one of the best steak sandwiches I've had. Fries were seasoned to perfection and the service amazing.

I decided to order a mini Persian feast: the beef koobideh with rice, doogh yogurt drink, and a saffron ice cream for dessert. This was my first time trying beef koobideh, and unfortunately, this just didn't seem to be very good. The meat itself was okay, decently cooked, and topped with quite a lot of some spice that I can't quite put my finger on. It was okay. The rice though, that is what really disappointed me. Persian rice is usually amazing, but this really didn't seem traditional and it had a strange taste to it. It also came with onion and a grilled tomato, both solid additions. Good portion though. The doogh yogurt drink wasn't homemade like I had hoped, but in all honesty, it still really hit the spot on a hot Austin day. Reasonable price. The saffron rice was also fairly disappointing. Large white chunks (clotted cream maybe? But they were pretty tasteless), gritty texture, not much flavor. Just not really worth it. All in all, a bit of a disappointing dinner in Austin. I'll have to look for a different Persian spot next time I'm in the area.

Parking is plentiful right in front of the restaurant. We came by on a Saturday around 1 PM, worried it might be packed, but it was actually pretty quiet. You can sit anywhere you like, grab a plate, and pay when you're done. The space is large and open, with three full rows of food and drinks plus a dedicated station for fruit and desserts. Everything was fresh, not overly salty, and there were plenty of options. My favorites were the hummus with eggplant (so flavorful with great texture), the salad and cucumber salad (fresh and refreshing), the dolma (perfectly done), gyro (tender and tasty), baked cauliflower (so good), fried chicken (juicy, crispy, and not salty), falafel (extra crunchy), and the lentil soup (simple but delicious). And don't miss their coffee at the checkout--it has a hint of warm spice and is the perfect finish after a meal. Surprisingly, I ended up loving the vegetable dishes even more than the meats. Overall, yes, $26 per person is on the higher side (what doesn't cost these days, right?!), but it's a great spot to try a variety of Mediterranean dishes that are fresh, simply seasoned, and let the ingredients shine--perfect whether you're new to the cuisine or just want a bit of everything.

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.
