You have to. You just HAVE to. It's almost too good to be true…read more We showed up on Friday afternoon on my birthday. I was prepared to splurge, since it was my birthday, and I picked a Michelin rec. But I was immediately struck by how reasonably priced everything was. We went all in. We ordered brisket, sausage, lamb bacon ribs, the Egyptian Cowboy, hummus, and that special pink potato salad. The portions were great, even ordering the smallest serving sizes when given a choice. The food was fantastic. I really don't know what else to say. It absolutely deserves its incredible reputation, and it honestly might be the best bang for your buck in TX BBQ. The atmosphere is really cool too. They're stationed outside of Oddwood brewing and shares seating. The outdoor and indoor seating are both very nice. Oddwood also has some great retro arcade games. It makes for a great afternoon or evening out.

I think the fried has some yummy turmeric on it. I'm always looking for places that are a bit more gut conscientious, and have balanced portions . The meal was $17.00 through DoorDash but I only paid $11.00 with a discount. I would say the food was well worth the pay. When I went inside it wasn't very busy around lunch time which was surprising considering how tasty the food is. Black chef back there is doing wonders. It has a very quiet, peaceful ambiance. Very much enjoyed. Thank you. I think this place needs more visitors!

Our experience here was unforgettable as the staff-specifically abdul and angi- was very attentive and inviting. They reccommended their best dishes and they did not disappoint. I would reccommend this place to anyone. Best for special occasions and everyday dinner and lunch dates. Their baklovah is unmatched and gyro, chicken and lamb kebab are heavenly. The mezza platter is a great starter and mint lemonade perfect for summer days.

We ordered the half order falafel with hummus, mint lemonade, lamb kabob platter, and beef kabob platter. Everything but the salad came in large Texas style portions. I requested the beef be cooked to medium and the temperature was perfect. Tips: Substitute the tahini in the kabob platters for tzatziki and request garlic sauce on the side. The garlic sauce enhances the flavor of rice.

Appetizers the hummus were delish so gotta get those Halloumi was nice and crisper with the greens sauce too. Octopus was grilled well and beef turkey forget the name but was minced so well. Chicken shawarma was so tender and so were sauces for the pita. Dubai chocolate was the best dessert with fresh melted chocolate. Service was great even bagging our food. Reasonably price for what we ordered too. Will go back.

This place is filthy, stocked with well past "best by" date groceries at gouge-level prices,…read moreunapologetically charges more than in-store posted prices for sandwiches and is staffed by a customer-hostile crew. A sandwich made with a stale, dry roll cost two dollars more at the cash register than a price for that same sandwich on a sign just behind that cash register. This will earn any establishment a fine courtesy of the City of Austin. Complaining about the stale roll is met not by an apology, but rather with the ridiculous claim that the roll "was baked this morning." The store is a mess, and virtually every grocery item costs twice what it would anywhere else. Phoenicia remains in business only because it is one of the few "Mediterranean" food outlets in Austin, and also because it may have once been good. But now it is a disgraceful must to avoid.

The staff was friendly and patient with my special order. I was craving falafel but also wanted lots of veggies on it. They were very accommodating &, for a SMALL charge (less than $1) they FILLED IT! (see pic) Wrap was delicious, with very fresh veggies. Also had to try the baklava & it was gooey & delicious! That alone would be worth coming back for! Drink selection is limited, but FREE! Turkish tea, coffee & bottled water (also free!) TIP: I added a tiny bit (each) of the cinnamon & cardamom they had at the coffee/tea bar. AMAZING flavors together! Will DEFINITELY be back! I LOVE FALAFEL! AND their sauce on it is delicious &plentiful (some places don't put enough on for me). THEY CATER... so I've bookmarked them for that, too!
