    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.

    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.

It's unbelievable, honestly I just need a plate of short rib and I'll be set. As you can see the salad is almost gone before I could even take a picture. It was honestly so good. It was some sort of coleslaw salad I didn't get the specific name for it. The pita was seasoned, which was really yummy. I will say out of the fresh fish options. I prefer the yellowtail that I got last time. It was definitely more flavorful. This tuna dish had a little bit of a bitterness to it. I'm assuming from the lettuce. The kebabs and the rice were so delicious. The rice had a lemony taste to it. The Ambiance was low lit, the weather just happened to be perfect as well, we sat on the outside patio. Their service was very quick and efficient as well. No complaints.

I…read morearrived around 1pm on a Wed and it was pretty hopping so don't expect it to be empty just because its a weekday! I put in a to-go order for a kibbeh wrap; the price seemed typically high for the area, but when I got my order its quite a sizable wrap so all-in-all a pretty good deal! The food did take about 20 minutes to come out- I wasn't going to complain as there was a line of people the whole time so I could tell it was busy, but when I did get my food they apologized for the wait and gave me some free baklava so even if there had been hard feelings that would have 100% fixed it lol I'm a huge baklava fan and had actually been considering adding some onto my order but didn't because of the long line! So service was great, but most importantly- the food! The kibbe wrap was huge; I managed to finish the whole thing but in two different sittings lol. The kibbe was generous, and the pieces were flavorful and juicy. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the whole thing was lightly sauced but the flavor of the kibbe popped enough that I didn't think it needed more sauce. Delicious and I would 100% order again. Plus the (free!) baklava was top notch! Sometimes you get the ones where the filo dough is a little tough/chewy and it still tastes great but the texture isn't there- not with this baklava! It was tender, delicious, and a perfect end to the meal. Parking was limited on the street but I believe the Triangle has garages also- I was able to snag a short term parking spot for MezzeMe which is actually why I originally decided to check it out!

After my first visit, I know I will be coming for a long time to come. My partner and I came here on Friday night and despite not having reservations, we were able to snag a seat outdoors immediately (indoors would have been a wait so if that is what you're looking for, I highly recommend reservations). The place itself is really cute and has am aesthetic vibe. I have heard that the indoor section can get really loud but that is not at all an issue with the outdoor seating. Our server, Pedro, was incredibly kind and attentive. He took the time to ask about dietary restrictions and marked up the menu so we know exactly what we could eat. He was also just a real fun server and made our experience even better! As for food itself, words can't describe how good it was! - We got a few drinks to start. I ended up having their aperol drink (it came with an ice cube made of aperol as well!) and an everything martini (think of an everything bagel but in martini form. yes, you read that right). Both were good but I definitely preferred the the aperol drink (it's just more up my alley) - We opted for the traditional hummus for our first visit and it was great. I'll def be trying their grilled corn one next. - The whipped feta deserves its own review because nothing should be this delightful! So light and garlicky. My partner doesn't like sweet things so he was a little nervous about the hot honey but its so subtle. - The frena (bread) that comes with the dips is the perfect compliment - The smashed cucumbers were refreshing and did not taste anything like I expected it to (in the best way possible). I thought I knew what it would be but it was something else entirely. - We ended up sharing the mushroom skewers which could easily feed two people, especially with how many other things we ordered. Overall, it was an incredibly experience and we will be back to try more menu items (which change seasonally!) and to have some dessert which we didn't have during this visit as we were so incredibly full.

Nice selection of wines by the Glass - I went for a crisp white from Greece and my colleague enjoyed Chianti. We opted for the lamb starter and wild grouper tagine. After we ordered, the GM Tarun informed us that he and the executive chef were not pleased with the grouper quality and offered a substitution of salmon. The dish was even better as the rich salmon (perfectly crisp skin) stood up nicely to the flavorful sauce, which was served over black forbidden rice. The lamb was wrapped in a well seasoned bread with seeds, a slightly spicy harissa and whipped feta. I would come back for that dish many times. They gifted us dumplings and a sticky toffee dessert which was very kind. Both were delicious. I don't think I have experienced better service anywhere in Austin. Will definitely come back for more business meetings and with friends in the future.

We spent around $600 with tip and fees for 5 (mixed grill, two apps, two drinks each); and while the food was delicious the meats were luke warm not piping hot, our server while very friendly was not the best at giving suggestions (basically she said everything is good lol) and wasn't able to split the check 2/3 and 1/3 instead of 50/50 ("... I don't know how to do that"), and the cocktails while tasty didn't really feel special enough to be $21-25 each. It was a very enjoyable experience I just don't know that it lived up to the price tag. For that price I'm looking for exceptional not just very good. That being said the food was delicious! Pricey but pretty good portions. The server said the mixed grill was good for around 4 people, but with two apps it was actually a little too much food for the 5 of us. Mixed grill ($220): -Rosewood Wagyu Strip and Lamb Chops: tie between these two for the best dish; they were both juicy and tender and the sauces were delicious. Not served piping hot but they were so good I didn't really mind. -Harissa Marinated Beef Tenderloin: great flavor- a tad dry. -Spiced Lamb Kefta: also dry, I liked it best with the yogurt sauce. -Red Pepper Chicken Thigh: delicious, one of my fav kabobs. -Herb & Garlic Shrimp: tasty and not overcooked -Charred King Trumpet mushroom: loved the veggie option! they mushrooms were substantial and the sauce was great. -Crispy Shallot Hummus: very good- loved the crispy shallots in particular! -Manti Dumplings: top app- I would 100% order this again the dumplings were delicious and the sauce/yogurt on top of them was the best, we wiped up every drop with the pitas! -The pita bread was hot, fresh, and delicious and our service kept on offering more, so I don't know if they've changed their policy but my experience was not the same as reviews that said only one pita per person. We refused extra pitas 3 times I think! Cocktails- everything we tried was quite good, but again there wasn't the pizaz or just 'blown away by the flavor' to feel that the crazy price was totally justified. We tried: Spanish G&T (very refreshing- don't chew on the juniper berries lol), Banana Bread Old Fashioned (pretty good even for someone who doesn't much like whiskey!), Bonfire on a Beach (fun, smokey, love the harissa on the side), Peach Martini (teensy bit sweet for me but good). The manager stopped by a few times to check on us and our server was very attentive. She did give us good service its just for the high price I would expect some more detailed suggestions on drinks, being able to split the check other than 50/50 (or at least ask someone instead of just saying 'I don't know how'). It was friendly and enthusiastic service just not 'wow this truly is fine dining' service. Outside of the restaurant, parking is a bit of a pain but that is normal for down town. We parked at the Laz garage half a block away- $8 for 2 hrs instead of the $27 for valet.
