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!

We love Halal takeout and this place is a pretty good option. Not the best in the city, but convenient, and the staff is so friendly.

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.

Been here a couple of times now and its reputation as one of the best in town is well earned!…read more All the meats are cooked to the standard you would hold a good Texas bbq place to. 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!

What makes KG BBQ stand out is its unique blend of Texas-style BBQ with Egyptian and Middle Eastern flavors. We've all had plenty of brisket, beef ribs, and pork ribs, but how often do you find a BBQ joint specializing in smoked lamb? Since we came with a group, we ordered a little bit of everything. Our favorites were the lamb chops, lamb bacon ribs, and sumac and cinnamon lamb shoulder. All three were well seasoned, smoky, and surprisingly not gamey at all. The brisket was okay, and the homemade sausage was decent, but neither really stood out compared to other Texas BBQ spots we've tried. One of my favorite combinations was stuffing the pita bread with smoked lamb shoulder, tahini, and spicy chimichurri. The flavors worked perfectly together and offered something different from your typical BBQ experience. The sides were also a hit, especially the mac and cheese and Egyptian baladi salad. The salad was refreshing and helped balance out the richness of the meats. The ambiance is casual with outdoor patio seating, while the indoor space has a brewery and pizza spot. It's a great place to hang out with friends. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces available. Overall, KG BBQ is worth visiting for its unique take on Texas BBQ, especially the smoked lamb. I'd definitely come back when I'm in Austin. If you're strictly looking for brisket and beef ribs, I'd recommend Franklin Barbecue instead. But if you want something different, KG BBQ is worth adding to your list!

Austin Restaurant Week takes place from August 28th through September 13th. First stop...Rollin Smoke BBQ, located in the Chalmers building, which filled with a crowd of people. I ordered a pull pork sandwich, mac-n-cheese and banana pudding. The pulled pork sandwich was huge, which I shared with the hubs. 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. This was not your typical banana pudding (dense and flavorful). I certainly understand why they run out of this dessert. Service was superb! Great dining experience...

I order a very nice lite afternoon snack, 1/2 lb of Prime Pork Belly Burnt Ends, 1 Pork Sparerib, and a side of Boozy Brussels. The Prime Pork Belly Burnt Ends which are tossed in bourbon sauce and smoked again for a tender meat candy-like finish which was quite to the contrary, not overbearingly sweet, just a hint. The first time that I went to Rollin' Smoke, I wanted to order the Pork Spareribs but they weren't available so that's when I was introduced to the Pork Belly Burnt ends so today, I ordered just 1 Pork Sparerib today which was good but not great, sadly. 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.
