Beef Shawarma Over Rice
Paula L.

The food is delicious and service is decent. Love their shawarma over rice. A little on the pricey side ($16-18) but the portion is huge. I can never finish one myself. Also love drenching it with that white and red sauce.

Food is always great here. They are very quick on making your food as well. Remember to get extra white sauce and red sauce if you taking it Togo. Got the chicken over rice and combo over rice. Usually these will last me 2 meals which is great. Tons of rice and decent amount of chicken. The extra sauce is need if you are save for another day which will make it a little moist again. Decent size of the restaurant, multiple tables across the restaurant. You can also order online as well if you know if you are on the way there.

Combo Over Rice (No Salad)
Saahir J.

Halal Bros was probably the first "halal cart" style food I had ever had. I tried it many years ago after the opened their first Brick and Mortar location on UT campus. I instantly fell in love with it and it became one of my favorite restaurants. It's really good food and always a place I like to take friends who have never had this type of food to. I always get the combo over rice, which is a massive plate of rice covered in chicken and gyro as well as white and red sauce. The portion size is very generous and can definitely be made into two meals. The only reason this is not five stars is that it can sometimes be a little inconsistent, especially the chicken. Over time the quality has gone down a little bit and other restaurants similar to this in the austin area have caught up. It's still the og "halal cart" style food in Austin but it's not the undisputed best anymore. Tips: - Make sure to ask for extra sauce on the side (no extra charge), especially if you plan on having leftovers. If you heat it up the sauce dries up so it's always good to have extra on the side. - You can ask for no salad and they'll replace it with more rice and meat for no extra charge. It's a lot more value and makes the meal more filling but less balanced. - Combo over rice in my opinion is the best item especially since you get two different meats. Would definitely recommend especially if it's your first time.

We love halal bros and typically go to the Braker Lane location and tried this one today. We kept finding these seed seasonings in our rice and it made it super hard to eat. Biting into it is a strong unpleasant flavor. We love halal bros so super disappointed after trying a new location and biting into whatever these things are :/. Gonna switch back to the braker lane location

Chicken over Rice, falafel, Lamb Kebab Wrap(foil wrapped), pita bread,Hummus, red and white sauce.
Shashikala P.

Our experience was 31/2 stars but rounding up to 4! We ordered takeout yesterday afternoon, chicken over rice, lamb kebab wrap, 1 pita bread, hummus and falafel. Chicken over rice: it's chicken thighs marinated and grilled over basmati rice and a small salad(lettuce n tomatoes), chicken was juicy, nicely marinated but it dint had that grilled flavor nor I saw any grilled marks. chicken fat wasn't properly trimmed, personally me n my kid both don't like chewing the fat nor the taste of it, it spoils the whole taste, I started doubting every time I took a bite of chicken, was hesitant I bite on fat again. So next time will stick to chicken kebab. rice was good, nicely flavored, portions were good both chicken and rice. Lamb kebab wrap: lamb cubes were little undone but when you take a bit everything together tasted good, balanced flavors. Pita bread: we ordered 1, but there were 2, 1 was goOd thin nicely cooked, other one was like an very thick flat bread and wasn't cooked all the way, you could see the parts of uncoOked dough. Hummus: it was a disappointing, it tasted sour, topped with couple of drops of olive oil, we dint eat it, so will avoid it next tIme, Falafel: it's 4small falafel(munchkins size), comes with white n red sauce, little hummus on lettuce bed. Falafel was delicious, just perfect in every way, freshly made, cRispy outside, soft and flavorful inside, wel balanced herbs flavors. White and red sauce: nothing special, white sauce tastes like plain ranch, red sauce tastes like the Asian sauce(Huy Fong chilli garlic) you get in stores. Plates and wrap were $10:99 before tax n tips, Overall it's good!

Ask the Community - Halal Bros

Is the falafel considered gluten free? Or at least not containing gluten ingredients directly? I tried to email halal bro's directly but never got a reply.

See if you can give them a call, they do answer their phone. Only issue is the frontline staff may not know, but I am sure they could find someone to ask.

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!!

We were able to have a larger party dinner on the patio outside. It was wonderful weather and our…read moreservers were great and attentive. We had a pre-set meal and they brought out plenty of portions for the table, so no one got hungry! Stars of the show for me were the brussels sprouts and crispy potatoes! Both were cooked and seasoned so well. We also got salmon and chicken dishes, which were both tender and soft. We ended our meal off with some chocolate cake, which was delicious! We also had some greek yogurt ice cream dessert with sea salt and olive oil, which wasn't the biggest hit at our table -- definitely more of an acquired taste! Overall, had a lovely dinner at Aba!

Combining that with the Egyptian spices makes for such a unique, delicious experience. I don't really see an argument against having them in the S tier of Austin bbq I've been pleasantly surprised at how short the lines generally are when I come. Even on weekends around lunchtime I don't think I've had more than a 20 minute wait. The lamb chops do tend to run out fairly quickly and I have had a few visits where some other items are out. If you're dead set on those coming closer to late morning is probably the move. The space is fantastic, given the volume of people visiting here doesn't go up dramatically. Theres plenty of tables, the brewery has solid beer options, and it's one of the few brewery type spaces in Austin that will consistently have games on. If they ever get the level of attention their quality deserves, this goes out the window. The line area does not have room for a franklins/interstellar type line. My guess is they'll eventually go the brick and mortar route. Overall I can't recommend this spot enough!

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.

Quite honestly, I was full after eating 1/4 of the sandwich, which had cabbage, pickles and of course the pork (not the typical stringy pork but chunks of pork bursting with smokey flavor). The mac-n-cheese was substantial with cheese filled shell pasta with a hint of a smokey flavor. So yummy...Well, I might have eaten "all" the banana pudding.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Boozy Brussel Sprouts which were smoked and flashed fried, a balsamic glaze with whiskey soaked raisins and parmesan. I am definitely returning to check out the Half Chicken Plate with 2 small sides that I eyeballed.
