Always delicious. Always fast. They're my go-to for late night, lunch, and every time I crave halal.

My favorite of all halal places in Austin, currently. Only two things I wish they'd change: 1) Remove the cardamom pods from your meats before serving; biting into giant chunks of spice is disturbing and something my friends consistently comment on / complain about while eating here. 2) Add cheese fries to your menu! I would come back twice as often. read more

I'm a fool because I ordered the chicken and lamb over rice... when I know I love lamb more than I love chicken. Cmon, girl, what am I doing?! Obviously the lamb was taaaasty-tasty. And obviously I ordered a side of fries because my mother deprived me of them as a child. They were bangin. Food here is fresh and clean. I felt like a goddess of the earth after my meal. read more

I came here a month ago and fell in love. I ordered fries with all the sauces. I got a glorious tray of fries that had so much sauce I had to eat it with a fork. It was delicious. I found this food truck again yesterday to my great excitement. I stepped up and ordered two of the fries with lots of sauce. The man running the window stated that the fries has no sauce. I looked at him in confusion. Was this the wrong food truck?? I looked at the menu and the picture of their fries is covered in two sauces. I pointed at the menu and stated that the menu shows sauce. He shook his head and stated their fries don't have sauce on them. So I figured maybe they were out of the sauce? He shook his head and stated he could put some sauce on my fries. I just kept looking at their menu with the fries covered in sauce and remembered my last visit. I nodded and asked for lots of sauce please. He rolled his eyes and quoted me 10 minutes. When I got to work there was a single sample cup of sauce in my bag. (I ordered 2 fries!) The fries themselves were cold. (I only work 15 min away and they went into a food bag in my car.) And finally, the Dolmas I ordered were frozen! A month ago this was a five star food truck. Today they are a waste of money. I'm seriously sad! read more

I am writing this 3-star review only from a vegetarian's point of view. I wasn't a fan of the falafels - they weren't the fresh and fluffy kind I like. The baklava barely had any stuffing. The hummus was a small portion for the price though delicious and the white sauce/red sauce were the highlights. Second visit update: my husband got a double meat chicken rice plate and really enjoyed his meal. So no doubt, they do well on what they do well. read more

Giving 4 stars only because I continue to order delivery from Halal Hub whenever I'm craving a lamb combo over rice plate and this place ALWAYS hits the spot. The meat is super flavorful, the rice is always fluffy and aromatic, and the garlic and hot sauces I can't live without. I can't say much about the service at the food truck location, but based on the other reviews, I need to go there in person to order (: read more

Our go-to halal spot. It's friggin delicious and the guys are really nice. The baba is A+. Usually order the gyro wrap - tasty AF. Always a win! read more

Took me long enough to get here, but finally got to try the gurus. I think of all the halal carts in Austin, they definitely have the richest tasting rice as it has almost a buttery flavor to it. That said, it does make the meal heavier than one would expect. The gyro meat over rice is a good size portion that will make you full, with nice crisped gyro meat pieces. White sauce is a must and the red sauce, while hot, won't blow your face off. All in all it makes for a very enjoyable meal. My sister got the falafel and she said it wasn't dry, which given the scope of falafel at other places she's had in town, is a pretty big vouch for this shop. Price wise is about what I'm used to paying for this kinda food. If you're in the area, give it a try. read more

Very good all around , fast , good food , price good ,no problems, I got the falafel wrap it was very good. I'll get the gyro next time.

The Gurus as we call them. This restaurant is probably the most talked about in my household. We rant and rave about the awesome halal food served in a Texaco parking lot. We love ordering online through Yelp/grub hub and swinging by The Halal Gurus on our way home from work... but only when they have Lamb Shawarma. That stuff is some of the best! I love the shawarma plates and gyros. The only thing I wish was a bit better is the hummus but I can find that somewhere else. Thank Gurus! read more

Halal Hub slaps. The service is fast, easy, and great. The placement is in front of a weird gas station, but the food is worth it. Only issue is maybe parking, but tbh everyone was pretty chill read more

Food: 5/5 Halal Gurus is our go-to for quick halal in Austin. The chicken and lamb shwarma is always a great choice and you have to start with the falafel! Service: 5/5 I don't know how they do it, but Halal Gurus may just be the fastest food truck in the city. We always have our food within 5 minutes of ordering. Environment: 3/5 The only downside to this truck is its location on Oltorf behind the sketchy gas station. We always end up taking it to go for this reason. read more

Great food. Great portions. Fast delivery. And this was after ACL when it was really busy. Can't wait to eat again! (Frequent traveler exploring his new home) read more

We ordered delivery from here, and all the meals arrived neatly packaged. I had the Combination Chicken and Gyro Over Rice Plate, which was flavored and portioned well. I loved the simple salad that it came with. Overall, it wasn't especially remarkable compared to other halal food I've had, but I've never had bad halal food, so it hit the spot. I would definitely recommend ordering from here! read more

I decided to order from Halal Hub on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed their combination wrap. All the meats were tender and combined incredibly well with their signature white and hot sauce. I'm not sure what they put in this but I'm definitely going back for more! read more

Great food. And good fast service. Best food I had in awhile ands it's budget friendly. Guys are great and stack plates to the brim.

Literally my favorite restaurant in Austin. The best gyros, rice plates, and everything in between. Highly recommend!

The food was just remarkable, service was super fast and the overall location is not far from home. They do offer a small outdoor seating area read more

Every single time I go here- I am left with awe. The combo plate is exceptional. The rice is well cooked and flavorful, the gyro and chicken is also equally amazing and flavorful. If you think this is good, just wait till you mix it with their white sauce!! Too much of their red sauce is a bit too spicy for me but just a little would hit that needed tang. If you aren't feeling like going out to this quaint place, ubereats also delivers. One of the best food trucks I've had here with exceptionally nice workers. read more

When my family and I craved Mediterranean food this was my go-to place. Today when I brought the food home, things were surprisingly different. And surprisingly different doesn't mean they have done extremely well, but the opposite. Beef Shawarma wrap had allmost 80% salad and 20% beef. Taste wasn't the same either. Not sure if this business have been bought out or what. Type of beef shawarma they have now is totally worth $6.99 and not a penny more. Charging $9.99 is absurd when they are actually selling you a Salad Shawarma with a hint of beef. Was so hungry that I forgot to take picture of Beef Shawarma, but snapped pic of Gyro wrap. South Austin no longer have any good Mediterranean food places anymore. Abu Yousef is great... Too damn bad they are in North Austin. read more

Searching through an online delivery list of restaurants, I happened upon the Halal Gurus. Their menu looked good, and I settled on the Chicken Shawarma Over Rice - Marinated chicken breast cooked to perfection over spiced basmati rice with a side salad. I figured for $10 for the meal would be a light dinner, so I opted to order some french fries and hummus with pita. To say I ordered too much food would be an understatement. Living in Austin, $10 doesn't go that far and rarely gets you more than a burger. The Chicken Shawarma plate alone was plenty of food and well worth way more than I paid. It tasted great, was well seasoned, with flavorful rice, and still hot when it arrived. Even the french fries were prepared perfectly and were also warm upon delivery. The hummus was ok, not my favorite, but still good. I've been trying hard to experience new foods past my norm. Photography on the delivery site did the Halal Gurus' food justice and helped entice me to order. The food spoke for itself, and when it hit my mouth, it shouted! My brain went into overdrive, and sparks flew from my ears! Amazing! Perfection! Wonderous! Will order again, and again, and again, and... read more

Such a good meal for a good price, fast, convenient and friendly service ~ the wraps are under $10, grab and go lunch on a budget is so hard to find these days read more

This review is for 3.5 stars. Fine food. Easy ordering and ready when you arrive. Seems very simple with salad and meat, but has a good grilled flavor. Smells take you in if you ever walk or drive by, but didn't quite blow me away. Lots of halal shops in town, and other than location near me, probably wouldn't come back. read more

Love the food. Hate the wait. Its a love/hate relationship i have going on with Halal Gurus...but obviously i continue to stick around enduring the abuse of having to wait in line and then wait wait wait for the food to be served. But i say to myself, "it's worth it, it's partially my fault, and it's not that bad." LOL all aside, come check this place out! They consistently serve up good food and have no problem with portion control. It's worth the wait! read more

I walked up and tried to order, and he wouldn't take it. He just said "it's too much, I can not do." I asked him what he meant by that since I just wanted to order two chicken and rice plates. But he just kept repeating that "it was too much. " People walked up after me and ordered, so I left and found a better place down the street at foody moody. Wtf. read more

I have to say we ordered the chicken shawarma with rice and if was incredible the rice was fragrant and the chicken had been clearly marinated for hours or possible days. Typically the rice from places like this doesn't have seasoning but this rice was fragrant and you could pick up hints of saffron and salt. Delicious hidden gem. This is a classic example of don't judge a book. read more

Love the kind of pitas they use, so there's that. And the salad ingredients with the Salad over combo meat were fresh and crisp. But the gyro isn't sliced, it's minced. The chicken at least was bite sized-ish. The tabouli was okay, because parsley. The hummus had little flavor, and the the Baba Ghanouj had none at all. The falafel was so peppery there was no other taste.. If it wasn't bland, it was peppery. We ordered a variety of things intended to graze off them for a day or so. But honestly not sure if we're going to bother finishing it all. read more

I absolutely love this place. My husband and I have eaten almost everything on the menu, because it's our favorite to-go Mediterranean spot. Our favorites are: The kibbi, the gyro wrap, the chicken shawarma plate, the falafel, and extra sides of pita and hummus. DO NOT FORGET THE EXTRA PITA, or you will cry. Also, their red sauce is so damn delicious and addicting! My husband cannot tolerate spicy food, but he loves the flavor of this red sauce so much, he sucks it up anyway and loads it on his food from here. It's actually pretty amusing to watch a 6ft 6in Midwestern man try to eat spicy food, wincing and smiling at the same time. Forever fans of this place! read more

I don't normally write reviews for restaurants but I ordered the baklava even though I thought it was pretty expensive and it was hands down the best baklava I've ever had in my life. It was worth every penny. So happy these guys are a few minutes away from my house although my waistline isn't as excited. read more

Visiting Austin from Seattle after a brief trip to Anchorage the prior week. Due to cold and ice, flights were cancelled in and out of AUSand I landed up staying over the weekend. As for The Halal Gurus, I ordered a Gyro and Falafel Wrap. It's the best wrap (gyro) that I've ever had and I've had well over 20 in my lifetime. Not quite expert, but enough to know what is good. If you visit Austin and want something other than tex-mex, BBQ, burgers, etc, I recommend Halal Gurus. The lamb and falafel were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pita soft and fresh. It came with a red sauce and a ranch-type sauce. Both were awesome and just enough for a wrap. Last thing, call Liz at Alaskan Husky Adventures if you want the best dog mushing tour in Anchorage. read more

The food here was pretty good and they give u a ton of sauce, super spicy. Fast service. The food is kinda overpriced

Yummyyyy #10 gyro with a side of French fries! Also, the #4 was delish- their rice is sooo good. SO good. Super fast service too. Really glad I checked this food truck out tonight :) read more

As we were driving home on our way back to Dallas, we decided to have an early dinner in Austin. We figured we'd stop and grab some BBQ... But apparently all the BBQ joints close up around 3pm! So I turned to Yelp to help guide us to something tasty, and boy are we glad we did! As soon as we found it, I knew it was my kind of place. It was just after 6 and no crowd or line. Which usually makes me nervous, but the owner quickly made that go away. He immediately greeted us & was ready to answer any questions we had. I knew right away that I wanted to try the lamb gyro. So before even looking at what else we may want to try I ordered one. After that we were trying to decide what else we should try, the owner then handed us each a falafel to sample. He then offered a bottle of water for my daughter because it was hot outside. I told him that we had water in the truck so she will be okay. He then told me that he wanted her to have it on the house! Right away I knew whatever else we ordered was going to be excellent! Their Gyro was one of the best ones I have had all summer! I've had Gyros in 3 other states so far. But this Gyro topped them all! It was so good we had to order a second one since my wife only had 1 bite of mine! We also had to try the gyro over race plate which was also loaded with flavor. Overall we enjoyed every bite we took & would gladly come back the next time we are in Austin! read more

I have tried the gyro over rice and the gyro wrap. Both are delicious, but not the best I've ever eaten. Fast service with tasty food!

Not happy with this place. Got an order delivered. Picture of food showed sauces on the side so assumed it was on the side. Got it and no it wasn't yet they only drizzled a tiny bit on my food. It was very dry as a result. read more

I work an overnight shift, so my food options for "lunch" are limited. Thank god Halal Gurus are open late. Everything I've ordered has been great. Lately, I've been ordering the salads with whatever meat tickles my fancy. They're all delicious. In my last order, I tried the Baba Ganoush. My hand to God, it was the silkiest most amazing Baba Ganoush I've ever had. Can't wait to order for you guys again. read more

Very nice food and has good quality for serve size would definitely recommend going here

Always fresh and ready on time. I love the chicken shawarma and their falafel. If you're like me ( a sauce person) make sure to ask for extra sauce! read more

I ordered the combo plate and a side of hummus. The chicken was raw and the hummus had no flavor and was really grainy.
