Went out for a ladies night here and let me tell you this place keeps up to all the hype ! They offer free Valet parking on Friday and Saturday- so parking was a breeze ! We had made a reservation so as soon as we walked in we were seated inside in a booth ! The place felt cozy and comfortable as well as nice vibes ! They even offer bar seating ! They have a covered and temperature controlled patio too ! Our server was amazing and professional and answered all our questions about drinks and other stuff ! The cocktail were amazing - I was curious about their onion bagel drink I think that's what's it's called and my server got me a sampler ... definitely I went with something else . We ordered few dips and appetizers and 2 entrees! Everything was delicious! To end the night we got the Krembo dessert and OMG it's a must try !! Can't wait to ge back soon !! read more

The food here was tasty, but the service was what really stood out. Attentive, friendly knowledgeable staff who did not make us feel rushed and paced the food out nicely. They were happy to chat with us without forcing conversation. As a group of 3 we ordered the traditional hummus, whipped bulgarian feta, beet tahini, the cucumber labne, falafel, pan fried halloumi and baklava apple pie for dessert. The group was not what I would call big eaters so we had leftovers (we likely should have ordered 1 less dish), they recommend 2-3 dishes per person (dips and meze). The hummus was decent, but I would not feel the need to order it again, the bulgarian feta was delicious and was tied with best dish of the night with the falafel. The falafel had perfect texture, crispy on the outside without cutting your mouth and soft on the inside. The beet tahini just tasted like beets and nothing else so I would not get that again. The cucumber labne was tasty and the halloumi was the only dish I took a bite of and would not take another. The texture of the cheese was rubbery, so despite having a crunchy exterior and delicious sauce underneath, I found the halloumi to be extremely disappointing. I am not a chef, but if they simply grilled the halloumi and served it on top of the sauce I think it would be much better. Desserts are not my thing but my friends enjoyed it even though they admitted the baklava apple pie was painfully sweet. I liked that it came with labne ice cream to make it a bit different. Overall it was a nice meal, the ambiance is modern and clean and the service was fantastic. A good spot for a nice dinner out. read more

Ezov is great! And I totally get why the NYT had called it one of its favorite spots in the country. Of course, it's exciting getting more Israeli / Mediterranean spots in ATX, and Ezov really lived up to the hype. As soon as i pulled in I was very excited to park next to an absolutely stunning red Ferrari and see the Ezov sign in the front (like the way the restaurant signs in Austin are in front of the buildings). Walked in and the space is beautiful - wood beam rafters inside, walls with Hebrew graffiti near the bar. The tables had a light wood color and the flatwear was really nice. Went for brunch and it was so hard to decide what to order but I really was on a quest to compare the chicken schnitzel to that of Motek (Miami & NYC) and Abbale (Miami), the latter of which I had last week. So we went with the hummus & pita for app, had the latkes and schnitzel. I went with a Turkish cold brew to drink which had such a great flavor to it. Our server James, super helpful and nice. The hummus with the chickpeas was some of the best Ive had. The pita was also fantastic. The latkes with over easy eggs on top was really a delicious dish. The schnitzel sandwich, had a very nice challah bun, egg plant and slaw, sauce was also very, very good. I will say it wasn't quite at the level of Abbale (my fave) because I thought the chicken was a bit too thick, maybe not quite as crispy as they do there. But I am kind of nit picking a bit. That said, my sandwich was $18 while the Miami Beach version is $28! crazy. Desserts - had the Lebanese pistachio bread and server recommneded this chocolate coffee cake, which is to me, a true Austin highlight! Overall, I can't wait to come back to Ezov, will def recommend it and will bring friends/family when they come to visit. I know some of the hospitality group's other restaurants are on the Chase exclusive tables, maybe Ezov will show up there also! read more

Overall: 4.3/5 [dine in] We came on the Sunday after Valentine's Day for dinner and were lucky to snag an 8 PM reservation, since every other restaurant we called had a 1+ hour wait. The cocktails and appetizers came out in a reasonable amount of time, but the entrees took a while. They served us complimentary bread, which was perfect for pairing with the dips, though I found it a bit too thick for my taste. Service was great throughout the night and the place had a unique vibe as well. Falafel ($13): Four huge falafel, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Delicious and warm, and even better with the tahini, amba, and green schug sauce. Fire-Roasted Eggplant ($13): Yummy on its own, but I'm not sure it's worth $13. Whipped Bulgarian Feta ($13): The favorite of the table and an absolute standout. Pairs perfectly with the bread. Yellowfin Crudo ($18): The pomegranate flavor tasted artificial and the fish was just alright. Skip this one. Merguez NY Strip ($38): Delicious and far better than the chicken shawarma. Tender meat cooked to perfection, and the pairing with grapes was genius. Chicken Shawarma ($28): Apparently one of their most popular entrées, but it wasn't our favorite. It's served deconstructed, so you have to cut the chicken off a mini skewer yourself and build your own wrap. Lots of spices, but the flavors weren't the most memorable of the night. With so many plates on the table, it also made the whole process a bit awkward. I would have preferred it served as individual mini versions instead. Moroccan Marg ($16): Tequila, hibiscus, pomegranate, Licor 43, orange blossom, and lemon. Pretty good and easy to drink. read more

I really don't understand the hype and so many positive reviews for this place!! I came across their Galentines day brunch thing on insta, me and my friends were thinking of trying this place, so made reservations for it. If it's for just food, I would've given 1star but service was good, so 2stars. We dint needed reservations at all, we came at 11:30, only 30%was occupied, that should've been our first clue, and there was one cheap decor on one of there wall for Galentine's day, that should've been our second clue, but we still decided to try them out because I regularly go to E&R(one of my faves), and it's I think ezov is owned by same people or company, that got me fooled. I ordered hummus, pita and falafel, that's my standard order at Mediterranean restaurant, and none of them were good, falafel looked good, but they had added so much herbs, and I'm some one who loves and regularly uses herbs in cooking, but this one, it was so overwhelming and you get big stems in between, and they have not added any other spices to balance the herbs, it was in edible. Hummus, it dint had no flavor at all, I've never tasted such bland tasteless hummus, like not even seasoned with basic salt, the only thing those chickpeas tasted was sourness. Pita, well it tasted more like hamburger bun than pita. I ordered Dubai or don't, it's like espresso martini, it tasted good, but they served in mini cocktail glass and its was 50%drink 30%foam and 20%empty cup, basically 1/3rd of how much other places serve. Overall, you want to eat Mediterranean but it should be totally bland or if you like food to look good to post on social media, then this is the place, if not skip it. read more

Quite an interesting place with a pleasant interior and an unusual presentation of the dishes. Many of the plates don't really match the traditional or expected way those dishes are usually served. The hummus was tasty, and the meat was quite juicy. Our server messed up the order a bit, it seemed like he either forgot or something went wrong, because we waited for a long time and had to ask twice. In the end, one dish that was supposed to be a starter arrived more than an hour later. Overall, the experience was still pleasant, but the prices are above average. If you want to feel full, you'll probably need to order two or three dishes. We also tried the cocktails, interesting and unusual flavors, but not really something classic that would appeal to everyone. read more

This place was cool, a good spot for a date night or group dinner! The inside is a vibe and I loved the decor. Food was fantastic! Whipped feta was a highlight. Our waiter was helpful and knowledgeable about GF. Editing to add: the carrots were a bit undercooked, they tasted better as leftovers microwaved. Also, the knives provided were so dull we couldn't cut the wagyu (or the carrots for that matter) read more

The food, the atmosphere, the host and waitstaff were phenomenal. Highly, highly, highly recommend! Our waiter, Anthony, went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience for our first time at Ezov. The meat was perfectly cooked, seasoned with the best sauce and tomato salad. The schnitzel was light, airy and perfectly combined with the sauce and toppings. The egg cooked in the falafel was the most beautiful presentation. The Turkish coffee cake was the best coffee cake I've ever had in my life. Thank you, Anthony for the suggestion. A must to go and try all of the menu! read more

Honestly, this place was not on my radar at all. But friends recommended it, so off we went. Complimentary valet parking in their private lot. Great service from host as you enter, and cool "hip" vibe inside. They do offer a decent amount of outdoor seating on their front porch. We had reservations and were seated quickly. Service was fast and friendly. The menu has a lot of options. We ordered an assortment of dishes. Some of the highlights for me included: whipped feta with bread, smashed cucumbers, beef kebab. And the two desserts we shared (Baklava apple pie and Krembo) were amazing. Will be back to try more! read more

We went for my wife's birthday. We ordered a lot of things, so unfortunately I can't speak to each item. Service was very attentive, kind, and informative. We had a few vegetarians with us and there were quite a few options for them. We had a reservation and we were immediately sat, which is always nice. They have some interesting cocktail choices. The falafel was by far the best I've ever had. Falafel always seems to be dry and this one was NOT. Kudos! The lamb shank was the best dish I ate. I definitely recommend it. The whipped feta was delicious. The fig revani cake was a good choice. I think we'd come back for another special occasion. read more

took my girlie here on a date. We sat at the bar because we prefer to sit by each other. The bartender was super friendly and knew the menu very well which we appreciated since it was our first time. It wasn't too busy or too loud on a Saturday night actually! We ordered vegetarian foods only and everything was so delicious/fresh tasting. I want to go back and try some of their meat dishes. Food is better off sharing and parking off the streets doesn't seem too difficult. read more

Ezov is easily one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in Austin. Every dish felt intentional, vibrant, and layered with flavor, modern Mediterranean cuisine executed beautifully. The falafel was outstanding, perfectly crisp on the outside, tender and herbaceous inside, with a deep, rich flavor that tasted freshly made. The citrus and cucumber salad was incredibly refreshing and balanced, with bright citrus, crunchy radish, fresh herbs, and olive oil tying everything together. It was light but packed with complexity. The absolute highlight was the pastrami lamb. It was tender, juicy, and deeply flavorful, clearly slow-cooked with care. The spices gave it a smoky, aromatic crust while the inside remained melt-in-your-mouth soft. You can tell this is a dish that takes time and technique, and it shows in every bite. Even the mezze, including the roasted eggplant and tabbouleh were exceptional, smoky, silky, and elevated with fresh herbs and thoughtful seasoning. The atmosphere is modern yet warm, and the service was attentive and welcoming. Ezov feels creative and refined while still being comforting and approachable. read more

Oooh this is one of my new favorite spots in Austin! I finally made it here for the first time for my friend's birthday dinner. We made reservations, but our table was not ready when we first arrived. We did appreciate that once our group was seated we were never rushed. We stayed at the table for several hours chatting and usually other restaurants will try to move you along. This is the perfect spot for a group dinner where you can get a bunch of apps and share. Our server was great and adjusted each person's menu based on their dietary restrictions. We started with the bulgarian feta (literally my favorite thing of the night), fire roasted eggplant, lamb butter, falafel the size of baseballs, and the fluffy round bread! Delicious! Since we were sharing all the apps I got the seared octopus as my "entree". It is super small which the waiter let me know, but was perfect with all of the dips and bread. I had a glass of a unique red blend from Lebanon. Wine prices are really high or I would have definitely had another glass. We shared 2 desserts - a take on a panna cotta and my favorite, a hazelnut chocolate meringue dessert. Amazing. My friends that got real entrees like chicken shawarma and short ribs loved them. I was impressed at the portion sizes. You can definitely go here and share a bunch of items. There is even a parking lot right next to it. I can't wait to go back! I have been dreaming about the feta with hot honey and nuts on top. 5 stars! read more

I love love love this restaurant. The food is very good and everything tastes so fresh. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, definitely hoping to be back with my family. Every dish we tried was 10/10, the only thing that was not my favorite was the Baklava Sundae 4/10. It didn't do much for me and it was a very simple flavor in my opinion and I couldn't not finish it. It was the only thing I left, but worth a try if you're into a dish with this flavor Their hummus is a must try, their bread is so fresh! Will be back soon! :) read more

First time dining at Ezov and we had a good time. I was in love with Pitch Fork Pretty and was beyond sad when they closed their doors so I hope the vibe continues at Ezov. For a table of 4 we shared the following: Hummus with warm blue crab-it was interesting; definitely not your traditional hummus. It had alot of crab and it was a tad fishy. Whipped Bulgarian feta-amazing! Kanpachi crudo-delicious Smashed cucumber and smoked labne-creamy and delicious. I liked the bread, but then later, I was wishing for a traditional flat bread Falafel-perfect Seared octopus-cooked to perfection and the spices were great Chicken shawarma-the presentation was cool and different, but I have had better Wagyu beef kabob-apparently was a huge hit Baklava sundae-so good! I almost ate the entire dessert by myself! Seasonal peach pie-I love peach pie, but this was not my favorite. All in all, Ezov is good. The service was amazing! However, I absolutely love Peacock and Aba when it comes to mediterranean restaurants in Austin. read more

The best thing we ordered was the lamb and beef manti. Absolutely spectacular. The 2nd best was the whipped feta- the honey added just the right of sweetness to keep me coming back the entire meal... even when full as could be The server was so friendly and had great recommendations for what to order. We've tried other restaurants owned by the same restauranteurs in San Antonio and this one takes the cake! Would highly recommend. read more

Ezov is amazing and so vegan friendly!!! This was actually my second visit and I must have forgotten to review. It's a very cute, trendy spot with excellent service. When I let my server know I was vegan, they brought me a special menu with notes on all that was vegan or could be modified vegan - so many choices! The pecan muhammara was very good, but my favorites were definitely the falafel and mushroom shawarma. Absolutely delicious!! Do not miss out on:) read more

We came here to celebrate our friend's graduation. Incredibly easy to get a reservation. They left a congratulations card on the table with graduation wishes for our friend, which I thought was a sweet touch. The place is nicely decorated with brightly colors everywhere. There was six of us and I got there, everyone was already seated. Our waiter was friendly and nice but he didn't really make recommendations or described the dishes. It is meant to be family style/shareables and the positions were so generous for that. Every dish was tasty, some more than others. Heavy on the eastern Mediterranean influences. It all was fresh and rich flavors. Definitely a theme in flavors from one dish to the other. The space was comfortable and a pleasant atmosphere. The check was also surprisingly reasonable for such a big party. read more

Ezov has the best vibe during dinners. I went with a group of 4 to celebrate something special and they were so sweet to leave us a little congratulatory note signed by all of the staff on our table. The food was delicious. My favorites were the chicken shawarma main and the cucumber smashed salad. I also really enjoyed their cocktails. You must try the Tom Selek and the Dew drop. Both were delicious. read more

Ezov is really really good. From the moment you walk in, the space stands out with vibrant art and bright colors. Also love a place with easy parking!! I ordered the "Women in Wine Flight" which I thought was a super cool feature for them to offer. My favorite was the Chenin Blanc. We started with the whipped feta and falafel. The bread that came with the whipped feta was light and fluffy. The falafel was perfectly crisp and had a great texture on the inside. We then had the chicken shawarma which was also delicious with juicy and flavorful chicken. This was the perfect amount of food for 2 people - we didn't have any leftovers and didn't leave feeling overly stuffed. Will be back! read more

Went for birthday celebration. Good meal. Enjoyed the menu. Good was flavorful. Will be back at some point. Service very good!

I love Ezov!! This is my second time being here. The first time was right when they opened and they have definitely improved over the last year. The inside is so fun definitely a good date night spot!! The servers are very attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to the menu/ flavors. We ordered: Whipped Feta - very yummy and great started plus the bread is amazing. I'm not a feta fan but this is balanced well with the hot honey and hazelnuts Kanpachi Crudo - this dish is very pretty and I did enjoy it. The serrano peppers are a little over powering. Smashed Cumber - 10/10 must order. The flavors are amazing and this is a great summer dish!! Chicken Shawarma - so so yummy!!! Chicken was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. Laffa bread was flavorless probably could go without it. read more

We booked Ezov for dinner since our picky 4yo son usually liked saffron rice and grilled kabobs. Ezov is a modern, hip Mediterranean spot outside of Austin's downtown on the East side. They have a large parking lot and outside area that reminds me of a beer garden. Inside, its graffiti-lined decor, loud music, and open bar. The cuisine has elements of both European and Middle Eastern. Definitely lives up to "Keep Austin Weird." The food is good, though some dishes were a bit on the salty side for us. To our surprise, our son refused any of the yellow saffron rice but literally ate all of the grilled octopus! Super soft, well-seasoned octopus that even a 4yo can enjoy. We would up ordering an extra one! Other excellent dishes I recommend: 1. The lamb skewer was grilled perfectly and super juicy inside with a nice, seared crust. The pickled garbanzo beans were good too. 2. Steamed mussels were fresh. 3. Chicken Shawarma is a must-get shareable dish. Super soft chicken and you get to slice it vertically on your own, mini gyro rotisserie, only that its not moving, LOL. If you want more carbs, enjoy the gigantic pita bread that serves as its base. 4. Pickled Everything Beets were good. 5. Lastly, save room for their pistachio tart. A crunchy layer of phyllo dough (baklava vibes) smooth and creamy cake layer, and topped with pomegranate sherbet. Items to be wary of: 1. I found the whipped feta way too salty, but the two giant buns thar came with it were excellent, especially the crispy crust. 2 The saffron rice was okay but definitely on the saltier side. read more

One of the best meals I've had in Austin in a while! Food and drinks were great and the vibe inside here is awesome. This is a great place to bring friends or family from out of town. Went for a friend's birthday and they brought out a round of shots and a candle for our dessert. APPS: Frena bread and lamb fat butter - 8.5/10, definitely order for the table Hummus with spiced lamb - 9/10, also a great order for the table Hummus Kanpachi crudo - 8/10, great but probably won't order again and try other things. MAINS: Fried snapper and market greens - 8/10, had wonderful flavors and fish cooked wonderfully but least exciting of the entrees we got. Loved all the veggies. Chicken shawarma - 9.5/10, chicken was tender and flavorful, loved making wraps with the pita bread and sides it comes with. Wish pita bread was on the side of the plate though so it was easier to get to. Grilled lamb kabob - 9.5/10, I had never tried lamb before and this was awesome. The chickpeas it comes with were so yummy. Saffron rice - 10/10, some good rice and complemented all the entrees we ordered very well DRINKS: Everything bagel tini - 7/10, fun idea for a martini and I'm glad I tried it. It was savory for sure and could really taste the feta and dill but probably wouldn't order again. Amba rita - 9/10, refreshing, delicious and not too sweet DESSERT: Coconut malabai: 7/10, similar to a parfait, wasn't bad but wasn't a sinful dessert read more

Ezov - Pastrami seasoned lamb shank. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

The food is still very good. Best dishes were chicken shawarma, smashed cucumbers, butternut squash, hummus. What I didn't like was the atmosphere, seemed cold and of course the weather was too so the doors kept opening and we'd all be freezing. The music was very loud and it was constantly pounding. Techno, selected to make patrons eat, and drink faster. The waiter was overselling. read more

High end spin on Eastern European food. I'm not sure if it was because we weren't starving for carbs, but none of the food hit. The Whipped Feta ($13) was very salty and oily, and the bread was a fluffy whole grain bun instead of a pita which I don't think went that well with the spread. I was expecting a beautiful plate of little dumplings when we ordered the Lamb and Beef Manti ($17) - it was more like a crispy lasagna with two layers. It was drizzled in lots of oil and yogurt. I appreciated the creativity but it was a dish in which I preferred the classic. So stars for the pretty interior, very polite staff, and uniqueness. read more

I think I just found my new favorite restaurant in ATX. Six of us dining here, some our first time. We came for the Meze Mash Up where other local chefs collaborate with the Ezov crew. The chefs of Este were featured so we had to go. Este is another on my ATX favorite list. We dined on charred broccoli and hummus, the octopus was so good we ordered another, the burrata and carrots, whole branzino, the ceviche....then dishes kept coming. It was a flavor journey I didn't want to end. And how could I forget the oysters!!!! I think they were probably the best I've ever eaten. The cocktails were fabulous and to finish the night we had the orange blossom sorbet. I want it all again. Ezov has a new loyal fanbase! I wish I took more photos but I couldn't put my fork down. read more

First time dining at Ezov and it did not disappoint! I met a friend there for dinner on a Thursday evening. We made a reservation previously, but I don't think we needed one. There were tons of seating options - indoor, outdoor, and a little covered side patio seating area, too. My one regret is not taking pictures of the food! We started digging in quickly and were yapping away, so k really didn't have any time. Nevertheless, everything we had was so tasty. We got the whipped feta and the burrata with carrots as starters. Both were so good, but there really were not many carrots at all with the burrata. It was a ball of burrata, salad, and 3 little carrots. Then, we got a side of saffron rice, chicken shawarma, and the lamb kebab. We were so full from everything that we ended up boxing up the shawarma and taking that home. I would gladly come back (and this time, take pics of the food!) also, they had free valet parking! Always a plus. read more

my favorite restaurant in austin so far! everyone was so friendly and the ambience was great. inside was bustling but we were seated in the covered outside area which was quieter. smashed cucumber and smoked labne: 10/10 I loved this dish! it was so fresh and the chili crisp was not spicy but flavorful (I think it was chinese lao gan ma). very refreshing and complimented the rich hummus well. blue crab hummus: 9/10 the best hummus i've ever had. I was a bit skeptical of the seafood and hummus pairing but it was delicious. the frena bread was also amazing, crispy and buttered on the outside but fluffy inside. a little heavy and rich in flavor chicken shawarma: 10/10 the chicken was well seasoned and had a nice smokey flavor. it was also crazy juicy and tender. I loved the caraway cabbage, sumac onions, and pickled cauliflower/radish it came with. best shawarma i've had as well. read more

What a great vibe! Love the concept of this restaurant, te graffiti really threw me for a loop but it was a fun component. We were a group of three and sat inside. Definitely recommend making a reservation. We got so many plates to share. If I would come back I would get only dips. We got the hummus with broccoli and the feta dips. Both were absolutely divine but I think the hummus is one of the best hummus I have ever had before. It was amazing I kept eating it with a fork. The frena bread was a great dipping medium. The cucumbers and labne was so refreshing and light. Great bite! The carrots and burrata is basically a salad. It was ok. The chicken shawarma presentation wise was really cool but ended up being overly salty. Great staff. Each person was so attentive in filling up our water cups! read more

So many wonderful things to say about Ezov. The vibe is always fun and welcoming. The bartenders are great - Fraya took care of me. Stopped in last night to treat myself to dinner. Started with the Burrata and carrots. The freshness of the dish was enjoyed in every bite. The greens, the dill, the crunchy pistachios, all perfectly balanced with the creamy Burrata. I had the lamb kebab for my main and it did not disappoint. Flavorful marinated lamb that still managed to be tender. Was on a bed of chickpeas with fresh tomato. A burst of flavors in the mouth. It's instead of dessert, the bartender suggested I try the beets which were out of this world! He said they take three days to make. Two days of smoking, then 12 hours in a vinegar solution. The result is a sour almost candy like delicacy. I am going to dream about those for a long time read more

2nd time here and much more mellow on a weeknight. They do not do valet parking during the week. Came with a group of friends. My favorite drink was the Persephone's last stand. It's a nice refreshing summer drink. The dew drop and midnight train to GA were close 2nds For apps we got the hummus with blue crab. It was good just wish it had more crab, my favorite and the groups favorite is the seared octopus. they also liked the lamb fat butter, some how the server forgot to order the crudo and the entire group didn't realize it was missing from the table until the drive home. We shared the entrees. The beef kebab blew us away. Was not expecting it to be as good as it was, chicken shawarma is a classic and a very hearty dish. I loved the mango sauce that came with it. The group loved the lamb shank. The saffron rice is a must and we're pleasantly surprised with how good the beets were as well, My absolute favorite dessert is the Krembo (brown butter Blondie, banana ice cream, a vanilla meringue and a yummy sauce on top but the baklava sundae was definitely a close 2nd. Definitely on the sweeter side and great for a larger party to try. read more

Seriously loved every single thing we ate! I went with a small group and we ordered so much food to share. We got the falafel, whipped feta (SO GOOD!!), hummus (best I've ever had), smashed cucumbers, chicken shawarma, rice, and two different deserts. Everything was a flavor journey, so unique and absolutely devilish. This place was in my list for a long time and it really lived up to the hype. I love any place that has orange wine! And they have a menu spot for it so you know it's common. The cocktails were also amazing, one person in the group ordered contrails and they looked craft. Service was kind and fast! Valet parking is free, tip what you want. I really love that because this neighborhood can be tricky for street parking. read more

My wife and I came into Ezov for the first time with 2 friends on a Tuesday Evening at 5:30 PM. We made reservations ahead of time, about a week in advance--definitely recommend this! It wasn't so busy at first, but an hour or two later the restaurant was poppin' inside and outside. It was packed! Parking here was easy at the time we came. If I remember correctly, Mon. - Wed. you're allowed to park in their private parking lot, but the rest of the days you either go through their valet service or you find parking along the street nearby. The ambience was very chill and modern-like. Loved the different colors throughout the restaurant, music was nice and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. We were lucky enough to be seated inside and not in the cold outside, although they have plenty of heating lamps from what we could see on our way out. The service was super attentive and friendly. Being our first time in the server gave us the rundown on what was good and what she'd recommend, which we really appreciated. It's recommended that you order and eat your meal family-style, sharing with the rest of your table. The food was SOOOOOO delicious. Ugh. To start we ordered the "Hummus with Warm Blue Crab:" it included drawn butter, pickled celery and shawarma spice. The crab was meaty and mixed with the hummus, it just paired so well together. I wish I could go in detail of each plate we ordered, but just know each was delicious definitely worth ordering: Whipped Bulgarian Feta, Falafel, Lamb & Beef Manti, Kanpachi Crudo, Grilled Lamb Kebab and Chicken Shawarma. These plates were perfect to split among 4-2 Dips, 3 Meze, and 2 Mains. We also added a side of rice. Portioning was great for each, none felt too small. To drink I ordered the "Rose Tinted Glass:" a mix of strawberry gin, embered labne, elderflower and honey. It wasn't what I expected when it came to the table--and it tasted like cough medicine/liquid jello--super sweet, too sweet for my liking! Overall we had an amazing dining experience here and with all of the plates we ordered we were pleasantly surprised with the bill. So much quality and portioning for such a great price. I highly recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to come back! read more

Everything about the experience at Ezov was wonderful. It was my favorite dining experience on my last trip to Austin. The ambience, service, food, pace, noise level were all perfect. The drinks were divine, we probably ordered too much food for 3 people and I didn't take pictures of everything but it was all excellent and I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. I absolutely appreciate this is somewhere where you can come and not have to yell at each other over dinner to have a conversation. The restaurant is very mindful of ambiance which allows for slow and easy dining with beautiful drinks and easy conversation over beautiful food and great service.

Ezov - Eggs - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

A third visit here has me convinced this is a top ten restaurant in Austin, and perhaps top five. The Israeli cuisine is complimented by nods and additions from other middle eastern cuisines. The service is enthusiastic - they'll happily explain what something is if you aren't sure. The interior is fun - yes, a bit too loud with the music that can slightly dampen conversation - but simultaneously upscale and modern. And the food...oh, it's so good. They know their way around beef and lamb and fish, but perhaps the real stars are things like labne and hummus - comfort foods elevated in exciting ways. They say their Everything Bagel Martini is hit or miss with people. It's a hit with me, so unusual with tastes of gin, feta, and dill oil. But dang, one was enough for me. It's a sipper, for sure. Go and enjoy. Ask questions. Explore the menu. Ezov is superb. read more
