This was by far the best restaurant I went to when in Austin! Between the ambiance, service and…read morefood, this is a 10/10. We had a reservation for a party of 10 on a Saturday night. We were sat outside in this beautiful oasis. I didn't even remember I was in Austin, I thought I was in Greece throughout my meal. There were so many different types of seating, an outdoor bar and the whole outdoor area was covered in plant and trees and lights! The outside set up was jaw dropping beautiful. I couldn't believe we didn't get too hot and how beautiful everything outside was. This is a Mediterranean place, so the menu was very heavy on that. I love this kind of food, so I found plenty of option that I would like. To start, as a table, we split the hummus, feta dip and roasted pork belly bites. The whipped feta dip was the best that I have ever had. It came with plenty of pita bread, cucumbers and carrots. It wasn't enough for all of us to eat how much we wanted lol, but we all did try some of it. All of the appetizers were very fresh and light tasting. They came out in a decent amount of time too. For my entree, I got the grilled chicken kabob. After all of the appetizers I had, I wasn't even hungry for dinner, but I did manage to eat some of it. It was a pretty simple but delicious tasting kabob. It was one skewer with half a plate of basmati rice. Idk if it would have filled me up if I didn't have some appetizers, but it certainly was delicious. The service was spot on. The waitress took her time other us and kept checking in to see if we needed anything. Whenever I am back in town, this will be my first stop!!

I came here for a group brunch and it was very nice…read more We ordered: 1. Muhammara spread (5/5) 2. Greek salad (5/5) 3. Blackberry biscuit (5/5) 4. Shawarma spiced skirt steak (5/5) 5. Short rib shakshuka (2/5) Everything is so fresh and it was so hard getting a reservation and now I know why. I would order everything again except the shakshuka. The shakshuka lacked flavor, which was odd since everything else was super flavorful. The short rib was a little tough and the poached egg still had runny whites we subbed out the potatoes in the shawarma skirt steak for brussel sprouts, which was totally worth it. I would love to come back for dinner and try their fish. Service was 5/5. Our waitress was super friendly and checked up on us. The food runners were very prompt. All the starters and mezze came out pretty fast so we always had food. I love how they give unlimited pita and their pita is so good! Having been to Ema, we wanted to try Aba which has been in Austin longer. It was harder to get a reservation at Aba. The parking situation is a bummer at Aba though, which is why I gave it 4/5. The parking garage next door is $35. I think you can get $3 off from Aba. We parked somewhere else, which was also a bit pricey and a hassle. You're lucky if you can find street parking. Being a native Austinite, I both love and dislike how Austin has exploded. I wish the parking garage would work something out with Aba. Perla's, before it burned down, validated parking for 2hrs down the street. Too bad you can't get that here. Final verdict is that it's worth the hassle to park to eat here but I probably won't come as often because parking is a friction point. Aba is not hurting for my business though as it was already very busy when we arrived.

The menu offers a great balance of familiar Mediterranean favorites and traditional Turkish dishes, all prepared with care and bold flavors. Portions are generous, ingredients taste fresh, and the dishes homemade. In fact, the son of the owner was managing the restaurant which he does not do often. He had nothing but rave things to say about his family and the restaurant. I really love that! I stopped to pick up some hummus. It was packaged with pita bread and nicely packed for travel. The hummus felt thick and hearty...not normally how it comes at the grocery store. If you're craving authentic Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine, Troy ATX is absolutely worth a visit.

If you're not familiar with the cultural norms then I understand why some people may feel that the workers are rude, but they're absolutely not in my or my people's perspective. You just need thicker skin and ability to take a joke, really. Their intentions are pure, their food is made fresh, and the hookah is ah - so smooth. I actually bought my entire set from here. I've gone through over 10 sets at home over the past 6 years and the one I bought from them is by far my favorite and most durable one. My kid loves their chicken shawarma wraps and we joke that he should get a job there since he liked it so much. Great space, authentic and quality stuff! Thanks, guys.

The tender, flavorful lamb, fresh tomatoes, crisp onions, and creamy tzatziki wrapped in warm pita delivered that authentic Greek taste I had been craving.

Delicious, satisfying, and wonderfully authentic. One of the best gyros I've had in the US!

The brisket ravioli was okay. The mocktail drink was tasty but it was a small glass. Also, I had a sip of lemon cello, it was really good. It gave a crisp and clear aftertaste. Overall, decent meal.
