I got the combo rice plate and it cost about $17. Very quick service and great portions. I loved the flavor of the chicken. The food came with a spicy red sauce and a white sauce. Really delicious and great value for money. read more

Halal Bros - Menu - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

We stopped by here for a quick dinner. The service was really quick, though the food took a little longer since it's made to order. The place was nice and clean. We tried the combination platter over fries, and it was quite tasty. It was generous enough to share. read more

The good-the food was consistently good. The employees were polite. The bad: hoooo boy, where to start. The women's restroom had NO tp. One stall has no working latches or locks, and the other has no external handle. They have no diet drink options except water, so diabetics can drink water or go thirsty I guess. The most egregious thing, however, was how my food was given to me. I ordered a gyro wrap with cheese. Now, I don't know about everyone else, but if I'm eating MEDITERRANEAN FOOD, and ask for cheese, I expect a beautiful pile of feta. Instead, I received a wrap with a mountain of SLICED American cheese on it. Its mere existence infuriates me. read more

I was walking back to may car from campus when I finally decided to visit the Halal bros. With some familiarity with the food I noticed Lamb Kofta that I was not. When I asked the gentlemen in the back with glasses, he would only reply " We don't have it." I said of course but could you tell me what it is plz? "We don't' have it." Two more time I said the same things and got the same reply. Usually i would have walked out. Finally he gave me a very quick reply. My reply was, " That was all I wanted to know, you made that way too hard." There were two guys waiting on food so I asked, " is this food that good because the customer service is awful". They told me, 'it is". Nice. Well, the food did come, he even brought it out to me. It was great! These restaurant establishments near campus could really be great but they mirror the clientele, mostly students, not working professionals. Slow down and show courtesy. It's the difference between good and great! read more

The food is Good Gawd Good! Y'all sleeping on this place. It's a whole vibe! Seating is so chill and peaceful. The staff is friendly and gets the job done quickly. Glad to have stopped by there! read more

Halal Bros - Chicken Shawarma Over Rice (kinda had a few bites!) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Poor service. I ordered a dish and it was incorrect. They refused to redeliver. Service fees, delivery fees then tip and they wanted me to pick it up. I already paid for delivery. Shitty service. Bye bye Halal Bros. read more

This place has all the good eats. I have to advise anyone going to come here to try the loaded fries. The portion size is huge. Some say quality over quantity. The loaded fries give you both. The service is amazing. The staff make sure you are well taken care of. The ask, how is everything going, how was your meal. Make sure you get your bang for your buck. It's a very casual small place. The only thing is. You might have a bit of trouble parking. But once you do. It is well worth the small Hassel of parking. You will highly enjoy. I will be back to take some beef loaded fries next. read more

Really enjoyed this spot. Great location amongst the night life. The food matched the vibe for sure. Everything we had was great. The guys were super nice and hooked it up. Definitely a good little spot for food! read more

This spot is my go-to whenever I need something quick and simple. I usually get the lamb over rice with extra white and red sauce--it's delicious and honestly lasts me about two days. Once you mix everything together, the flavors really come together and it's super tasty. Parking is definitely the toughest part since it's right off Guadalupe, and I don't love going in and out of there with the traffic. Inside, the place is decent with limited seating. It feels more like a casual grab-and-go spot than somewhere you'd bring a big group. The ambiance is straightforward--bright, clean, and minimal with just enough tables to sit if you want to eat in. Service has always been quick and efficient; they get you in and out without a long wait, which is perfect for this type of spot. read more

I've been going here foreverrrrr and am obsessed. Lamb over rice is the best comfort food. The portion is huge and the veggies are fresh. I think the pita is just ok. Love the hole in the wall vibe and fast service. Parking is a bit tight. They have a small patio, which I recommend for people watching. read more

Halal Bros - Lamb over rice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

High-quality ingredients, healthy meals (chicken shawarma over rice), and friendly staff--without being expensive at all!

Food.. the best I have had in a very long time!! Everything is home made even the rice. Service was great Portion size = 2 meals I will be back most likely every week read more

I had a chicken shawarma over rice -- I thought the rice was surprisingly good (light, fluffy, and seasoned), particularly when paired with the white sauce that was the star of the show. However, the single serving of white sauce (which I requested on the side) felt quite meager, and I'd definitely ask for extra next time. It would also have helped given that I found the chicken shawarma meat to be pretty dry. That said, this is probably one of the best halal cart style options in the area, and this was indeed a generous portion of food. I just wish they'd allow half/half on the meats (beyond the combo of gyros and chicken, which is different from the chicken shawarma). read more

Halal Bros - Chicken Shawarma over Rice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Extremely slow service. Even with ordering food online in advance. I still had to wait 15 mins. This was my last straw. They removed the sauce bottles and now want to charge after 2 small containers of sauces. read more

Ordered the falafel wrap and chicken shawarma over rice plate for delivery. Food was delicious and filling. The white sauce, hot sauce and green sauce are a must have and really add so much flavor to the dishes. If you are looking for authentic Mediterranean food with quick service, this is the spot! read more

Came here sooo many times during college and finally got to revisit and take some people here for their first time! I love love love the gyro over rice-I have always gotten this and probably won't ever get anything else because this is so good. The portion itself is huge, you most likely will not be able to eat it all in one sitting. Sauces are great. I didn't order this, but still want to mention it...my friend got the beef, and it was not good. Beef was very tough and hard to chew. Very small parking lot in front. read more

Let's cut to the chase here: It's fine. Prices are reasonable for a nice big container of food, but it's really just a giant plate of rice. You get a handful of salad a good scoop of hummus, seven falafel, and about a quart of dry yellow rice. The falafel are equally fine. Not really crispy on the outside, not really moist on the inside, adequately flavorful if not particularly memorable. Ask for it without white sauce to keep it vegan, and opt for BBQ sauce instead of just more hummus. You'll need something more to get through that vat of rice, so double up, too. Very acceptable. Highly adequate. Exceedingly average. You could do better, by you could also do worse. read more

Halal Bros - Falafel over rice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Absolutely amazing food! The pictures don't do it justice but everything about the swarm chicken that I got, was amazing! White sauce (aka Taziki) was great too! If you like spicy. Definitely get the hot sauce to dip fries. read more

I am not sure why the cashier has to yell at another customer when I was eating there. The restroom was dirty and had no toilet paper. I won't go there again. read more

Good clean sit in restaurant with good portion size and taste on point. Variety of meals and combos

They never disappoint. Every time I go there, the food is excellent. Generous portions and friendly staff.

Oh my goodness! Delicious is an understatement! We were hangry for sure but this place was not only filling but everything we could ever ask for. Sizable portion and well worth. Together the meal was around $28 but could feed you for 2 meals read more

Halal Bros is soooo good and so iconic among UT students, although I think it's fallen in popularity. I remember it used to be really crowded when I went in 2019, but now there are only a few people inside every time I go. I always get gyro over rice or a combination of gyro and chicken over rice. The gyro tastes better than the chicken. The white sauce and red sauce add a lot to the flavour. I like the loaded fries as well. I've seen the prices go up so much, which is quite sad. $14 gives you a lot of food, but it is still really highly priced. I've heard people say this is one of the worst parking lots in West Campus because it's really hard to get in and out of, so I would never try to park there. read more

Halal Bros - Combination over Rice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Favor delivered pronto. Order was piping hot. Fries loaded with gyro and falafel would feed three people but was so yummy I almost finished it all, much to my regret. I also ate the dolma but had to save the baklava for later. Everything was excellent and I'm totally satisfied. read more

Halal Bros - Loaded fries, dolma, baklava - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

A classic UT favorite. I don't know what it is about Halal Bros but I'm never not in the mood for it! My goto is the falafel over rice since I don't eat meat. It's not the best falafel I've ever had in the world, slightly dry in my opinion. But the really winner on this plate is definitely the rice, it's so well seasoned and acts as the perfect base for everything else. I wish there were more vegetables in the dish but still a lot more green than nearby restaurants. I'm sad that they upped their prices in the past few years but a very large portion size, definitely at least 2 meals. read more

Halal Bros - Falafel over Rice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

It's just soooo good. The best halal in town. One of the few places we can always agree on.

I still love this! It's just as good as when they were named Halal Guys and all the Indians would crowd around the food truck after being 6th street. I didn't give them 5 stars because sometimes they can be difficult with special requests like no or less hot sauce. Which you should definitely ask for because they use a sort of paste which is concentrated and just way too hot, even with the small amount they put on it. It really doesn't matter anyway if you take it to-go because they include the sauces on the side. Anyway don't let the cute kid in the front sway you. Insist on no hot sauce on top! At least that's what I'll try to remind myself next time. read more

Really good shawarma! Definitely the cleanest tasting place around and they use fresh ingredients. I recommend this place for the nice service and excellent food. read more

Mo is SUPER helpful, and the food is AMAZING, this is the first time i got it and i say this would be one of the best food places near campus, GET THE COMBO OVER RICE 10/10! read more

As good as ever. Made to order and fresh with attention to detail. Staff is friendly. Be prepared to wait a bit, but it's worth it because this isn't being microwaved. I lived in Dubai and this is as close as we can get to decent Middle Eastern food. Portions are still just as big as pre-covid. Thanks and I'll be back. read more

Halal Bros - Chicken Kebab over Rice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is a solid 3.5 - the customer service is weak as the place is overwhelmed. There is no social distancing practiced, there is barely any parking, everyone is touching everything. But - the gyro and chicken were good. Maybe I suggest this as a takeout option, as the safer and less frustrating route to enjoy their food. read more

Halal Bros - Combo plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

Be aware when ordering from Yelp and clicking "order takeout" instead of ordering from the website! It's an extra $3 per item, I didn't know this for a hot second and thought they just increased the price. Other than that, Halal Bros is very solid food that I've been coming back to for over 5 years. read more

Ordered chicken kebab. It had clearly been frozen and marinated in something that tasted like chemical to me. Was hoping for something fresh. read more

Great place by campus to get some quick Mediterranean food! I usually order the lamb bowl that comes with rice, salad, veggies, and pickles. I love putting extra white sauce on top and getting a side of falafel! Super plentiful and cheap. read more

food was fantastic, they made it quick and fast... i got the chicken shawarma over rice and ouuuuuu lemme tell u sum..... I NEED ANOTHER PLATE!! real talk though this sh*t SLAPS! read more

Large portion and really great tasting! Wasn't planning to eat the whole plate in one sitting, but I'm never good at self-control. I got the combo since I like both the gyro and chicken. I think the gyro is more flavorful, but I still like the texture difference between the two. I wish their menu has salads as a base, instead of only rice or pita. I'd opt for that instead of the rice. read more

I always go to Halal Bros with my... well bros. The portions are always super large and enough for 2 meals, with a lot of meat and vegetables. I swear by the Combo Over Rice, which is lamb and chicken over rice. I have been going here for 4 years, and slightly disappointed by the price increase in their menu items at the guad location (from 7.99 to 11.99) which made me come here a bit less but it's still a go-to winner when I'm craving Mediterranean food. The food is served in an aluminum box with a plastic lid, which is the same for to-go orders or if you're eating dine-in. Honestly this is a great concept as it allows easier portability if you were going to take your portion of leftovers home with you. And trust me, you will have leftovers. If you're not too hungry, I would suggest splitting one combo with a friend and make it a combro. Parking is a bit limited, with only 3 spots out in the front and during lunch or dinner times it can get packed. If you can't walk, I recommend trying to find street parking as it's also sometimes difficult to back out of the parking spots onto Guadalupe street at a weird angle. The atmosphere is very casual, with plenty of tables and seats around. You don't need to wait to be seated and order straight from the cashier. They will ask you if you'd like both red and white sauce on your meal, and if you can't handle spicy don't get the red one. It's extra hot! You can always adjust and add your own later. Tip: Order without the red sauce and get it on the side! It's very spicy and you can always get extra from the pumps next to the drink machine. read more

they enshittified halal bros. used to love this place. food is good. but they removed the fridge where customers could access squeeze bottles of white and red sauce. now you get it in a 2 oz plastic ramekin. 2 oz of sauce isn't enough for squat. not to mention, the ramekins aren't refrigerated. i love room temperature sauce. awesome. bring back the fridge and we can talk about the 5 star review i used to award this place. read more

Trust me- combination over rice with extra white sauce. That's the way to go. It's been my order since college and will never change. It is PERFECT. I only docked a star bc it just isn't the same as when it first opened, but it's still a solid spot!! I'm glad they beat out Halal Guys when that garbage can of a halal spot opened across the street. It was the worst to accidentally order from the wrong spot when ordering delivery! read more
