    chicken bites
    Marcus J.

    Indian fried chicken... never before seen until now. Insane crunch while still maintaining that juicy flavor blast, the version with apples on top is wild, and they even have duck fat fries. Make sure you try that 65 sauce, he's got his own version. Chef is doing it like never before and all his recipes are next leve; ! You can tell he takes pride in the food. We will definitely be back. This is in a food truck area outside of a bar. good seating

    Paneer sando with peri peri fries
    Ashley J.

    A really unique concept and delicious food! It did seem a little bit pricey for food truck food, my meal was $20, but my sandwich was yummy and it was a fun experience. Food came out pretty quickly but it was definitely fresh. There's a cute seating area between the food trucks so plenty of place to sit and enjoy in person or you could do take out.

    Nuggets
    Allie H.

    Omgggg I am obsessed with these nuggets. To be clear I am not a boneless wing girly so I was not sure how I would feel. However, these nuggets are delicious. Got them in the street Szechuan and loved it. Would maybe go up a spice level next time because these weren't as spicy as I expected. Boyfriend got the sando with peri peri which was also yummy. Not a huge fan of the tikka fries but I'd try a different type next time.

    Street schezwan and bhenncchoo
    Darian C.

    Chicken is crispy and super flavorful. I thought the street schezwan was pretty good and the bhenncchoo was super spicy. I enjoyed the yogurt sauce and wished I got to try their tikka sauce but they ran out. I thought the fries were alright, they could be crispier and they were also a bit soggy even though we were eating them fresh/right when it came out. You should get there before they close because they start running out of things around 8-8:30. It was about a 30 min wait for 2 orders of nuggets and 2 sandwiches at 7:45 pm.

    This place was brand new to me - my date recommended it and I'd never heard of it so went for it. It's inside a little food area next to a parking lot so there are spots there or on the street. There are lots of little tables outside where you can eat too which is nice. On to the food - I was actually really blown away by how delicious it was! They have different ways of preparing the chicken and different marinades. I got the mid spicy one on "chicken nuggets" which came fried with bay leaves. It seemed simple but OMG the flavor of this chicken was BOMB -- soooo flavorful and the sauces eg chipotle were fantastic. My date got a fried chicken sandwich and said it was also incredible, it looked like it! The workers told us they are new and won an award recently for being a great Austin food truck spot. Can confirm they're worth that hype -- seriously I would come here again any time. Really love the chicken

    Stopped by Guppy's on a weekend trip to Austin. The food was great (slightly preferred the burger to the nuggets) though less spicy than expected. Would suggest anyone who loves spice get their spiciest flavor. There was an unfortunately long wait, so I'd say be careful if tight on time. Raj was super friendly and made our experience a great one. Would definitely come back!

    Peri peri pieces
    Robert A.

    100% recommend. Really flavorful and delicious sandwich and bites. So much food for the price. The duck fat fries were rich and tasty. Wonderful head level for the Szechuan on the sandwich and periperi on the bites. Friendly staff and some covered seating. Will definitely be back to try more flavors.

    Chicken sando (kashmiri chili) was stunning, truly perfectly cooked. Incredibly juicy with the crispiest exterior you've ever tasted, technique was true perfection. Mango yogurt drink also very very tasty. Fries were very underwhelming and left alot to be desired, a bit soggy from the sauce and not super flavorful. Nevertheless, the sandwich alone and drink are enough to get this into the low 5 star range! And reasonable prices too! Small outdoor seating area by the food trucks, and close to neighboring bar for more fans and seating! Good experience

    Honey Badger Nuggets
    Kevin M.

    We had a fairly decent experience at Guppy's. Everything was priced well and we received friendly service. However the food itself didn't hit the mark. It wasn't bad just underwhelming. It didn't have those bold, layered flavors you would typically find in Indian cuisine. We tried their third highest spice level "Honey Badger" and It barely registered as spicy. If you enjoy heat I would jump higher on the list. We also tried their garlic duck fat fries, which were seasoned extremely well. To the point you couldn't enjoy them. Extremely salty, I'm not one to hate on salt but they went overboard. I don't think that's the norm could have just been a slip on their part.

    That moment you meet a legend‼ Outside of technology, that's chefs for me‼ Chef Raj of Guppys ATX has created the best fried chicken concoction I've ever consumed! His Indian style blend of spices was perfection across every single bite. If I wasn't on Tirzepatide I would have downed at least three of these back to back. Yes! They're that good! Trust me, if I'm posting about it, I would go back again, & it means so should you. That's not all! It warms my heart when I get the chance to meet the creator in the kitchen for these feasts. That job is never easy, & let's face it, most of us are demanding pains in the ass. Also feasts are one of the best ways to evaluate friends, especially those being considered for wifey material. How a person treats the staff at a restaurant can be a great indicator of red flags. I've watched someone drill the waiter for 30 minutes about all her fictional self-diagnosed conditions as the group sat there in amazement. Before the lovely waiter walked away I caught her attention and tossed my prayer hands, then raised the tip to 30% at the end. That same person took home all the left overs. I guess the "allergies" were real... Right. That was the last time she was ever invited. The moral of this story! Always appreciate the folks working their ass off to take care of you. No exceptions! The job isn't easy. It takes sweat, guts, and patience. There's no need to add complexity or be entitled.

    Went here with a couple friends to try. It's a little bit tucked away in the back so not with the other food trucks nearby. It's right next to the zucchini kill bakery. It's all fusion of Indian street flavors meet spicy fried chicken. I got the street Szechuan sando, garlic duck fat fries, and a mango lassi. The flavors worked really well together and the chicken was nice and juicy. The mango lassi creamy and the duck fat an extra edge to the fries. Service was great and the guy who runs it was really helpful in deciding what to get and making you feel welcome. Since it's inside another outdoor bar there is a lot of outdoor seating so great to hang out when the weather isn't super cold. I will say this had lots of sauce so things soaked in pretty quickly. Definitely eat when you get it and don't let it sit too long before tasting otherwise you may have some soggy bread. 10/10 recommend getting nice and fresh!

    OMG, this place is absolutely awesome! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary last Friday evening…read moreand the atmosphere was incredible. Inside and out! I was glad we were seated outside though because even though it was a warm evening, their fans were very effective creating a constant gentle breeze. The music enhanced the experience with a fun and upbeat vibe. I truly felt like was sitting at club/bar/restaurant during a cool summer night in Greece! Just incredible. The staff were also great! Friendly and accommodating from the time we checked in for our reservation. Our server was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with my gluten sensitivity! The food was delicious too. Shout out to the chefs! The village salad (also reminded me of a traditional Greek village salad) was refreshing, the hot honey halloumi was like nothing I have ever tasted before, I regret not ordering extra to-go!, the Lamb chops made me feel like we were celebrating Easter - the seasoning was spot on and cooked to perfection, the Lamb and beef kefta with rice was also tasty, but the lamb chops are the clear winner. Don't forget to get dessert! If you have a gluten sensitivity like me, you are safe with the Pistachio Panna Cotta. It was a flavor high I didn't want to end! Lol. But seriously, it was super delicious, sweet, and just the right portion. Also FYI: we shared every plate. It's the way to go there, and I'm glad our server recommended that we order everything up front and they simply bring it out as each plate is ready. (Except for dessert and drinks - order those at the appropriate times of course). Speaking of our server, Lauren S, she was on it!!! Not only was she able to serve us and other tables extremely well, there was also a very large party of around 15 people next to us that she also served. Yet she always seemed to be around when you needed her and always with a friendly smile and positive attitude. Shout out to Lauren!!! You were amazing. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner memorable. Can't wait to visit Aba again!

The indoor space flows nicely with the outdoors and feels trendy and polished without being overly formal. Parking is the typical South Congress challenge. There's access to the Music Lane underground garage (with a small validation discount from the restaurant) plus nearby paid lots and street options, but it can feel competitive and a bit chaotic, especially on busier evenings. Plan ahead or use rideshare if you can. Service was great--attentive and smooth throughout our meal with two adults and two kids. We ordered the whipped feta spread (excellent with the pistachios and oil; the house bread was a bit salty), Brussels sprouts (cooked perfectly), grilled chicken kebabs, the shawarma-spiced steak frites, and the grilled Branzino. The Branzino was the clear star of the show--flavorful and well-executed. The chicken and steak were mediocre at best. For dessert we shared the sticky date cake, which had a nice crunch outside and was warm and moist inside. It's a bit pricey (we paid over $240 for the four of us), but the setting, strong service, and that excellent Branzino make it worthwhile. I'd definitely come back.

    Usta Kababgy is an excellent restaurant for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in Austin, TX located…read moreon N. Lamar Blvd. The restaurant has well seasoned, charcoal grilled meats. The kebabs are the true highlight...juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. The portions are quite large as the hubs and I shared a wrap. We were sufficiently full after eating the chicken tikka wrap. Interestingly, the wrap came in a Shawarma King packaging with their contact phone number. So, I assume that Usta staff are sub-contracting from Shawarma King. Usta also has freshly baked bread and classic sides like hummus and rice paired with the main dishes. The restaurant has a homey, lived in feel. It has a few middle eastern artifacts sprinkled throughout the restaurant. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from Iraqi and Adana kebabs to shawarma and traditional Middle Eastern plates, so there are food items for both first timers and regulars who want to explore beyond the basics. They also serve flatbreads where you can have two different toppings. The food focus is on bold, traditional flavors rather than modern takes on middle eastern foods. On the desserts front, they have an assortment of desserts and several sections of ice cream. I had the baklava, which was surprisingly delicious...it was not eye-squinting sweet like a standard baklava. It was crunchy, flavorful, and had nuts that were substantial. Layla, my server, was so super sweet and welcoming. She pointed out that Usta provides its customers free tea. How cool is that? I cannot remember last time I received a free drink.

We got the lamb/beef kebab 1lb and first off the picture online is misleading. It shows for the catering of kebabs, not 1lb. Which is probably on me for not catching that, but that's fine. The kebab itself was just alright. Could have had more seasoning and there chunks of either fat or onions that were not pleasant to chew. The pita was the size of a mini pizza which is nice, but they were so chewy it was disappointing. The sauce was more watery than I would have liked and also not as flavorful. Overall, this was a miss for me.

    ABSOLUTE BANGER OF TX BBQ! Here's why:…read more Arrived at 11:05AM to beat any possibility of a crowd; still wasn't the first customer, but definitely in the TOP 5. For my order, I got an order of the Za'atar & Pomegranate Glazed Pork Ribs ($17), 1 Lamb Chop ($9.50), and an Egyptian Mac n' Cheese (made COWBOY - added smoked brisket) ($15). Total came to $41.50. First of all, the space is spacious! There are two areas for eating outside --- and although I never went "inside", I did see a building with people going in-and-out of, I assume that's part of the establishment as well? A good amount of fans to keep you comfortable during your stay which is a nice touch. Let's go to the food: I had to give the mac n' cheese the first try --- I've been disappointed too many times before. LOVED IT! First of all, KG BBQ use shells for their mac, and it's not just "queso" --- its seasoned, has some tomato in it, and when it's made "Egyptian" --- you add that beautiful amount of brisket and sauce which just enhance the whole dish. The ribs were also phenomenal. They were fall off the bone tender, but not fragile in any way. The marinade was amazing, and topped with pieces of pomegranate and served with some spiced onions, it's the COMPLEXITY. Often times with TEXAS BBQ, it gets heavy quick. Having these contrasting yet complimentary flavors just makes you want to eat more! It's a complete sensory experience, visually, smell, and taste. The famous lamb chop was also amazing, and served with a little herb concoction on the side that is again --- needed --- to cut through the richness of the meat and fattiness. I've heard some complaints from food bloggers which is valid: there is a good amount of fat on each of these chops, so you better SAVOR the meat on that chop! It'll be done in a few bites! Only feedback? Food temp. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't hot either. In any case, I was thoroughly pleased by KG BBQ and you should definitely pay a visit!
