    Awesome cheese fries!!!
    Chris M.

    I am so glad to see Halal Time still thriving on E. 6th! Drove by last weekend and the area was packed. Parking is not easy but made my way over to this trailer. Sam (the owner) was there, working his tail off as usual. I went for his awesome Falafel over rice, minus the yellow sauce. And it's been a while but his cheese fries are to die for! After several years - the falafel here is still the best I have ever had - no joke. It has this nice robust seasoning and a tad bit of heat to it. No other falafel tastes as good as his. It's my favorite dish here - anything falafel. I love his red and white sauce too. Now - he used to have purple pickles, and they were slightly sweet, but he changed the recipe to a salty pickle. They are good, but those purple sweet pickles were oh so awesome, and a great balance with the savory dishes. Those cheese fries - omg - now I know it's just melted cheese in the microwave added to his crispy fries - but he adds in the white and red sauce, and ketchup, and oh man that is an awesome late night gluttony dish. I just love it. Took the two dishes home to share with my neighbor girl - she went nuts and now she's in love........with Halal Time, not me. ; - )

    Delicious & Worth the Stop! Halal Time is a true gem in East Austin! The chicken over rice was packed with flavor--tender meat, fluffy rice, and their sauces are so good. Portions are big and prices are fair. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. If you're in the area, this food truck is a must-try!

    I love Halal time!! I get the falafel plate and it's enough for my partner and I to get full, with a side of the fries. We can always count on Halal time on a late night! The customer service is always genuine and pleasant. We Always look forward to going back! You won't regret it! The environment is always nice and we feel welcomed to eat there or in our car!

    Chicken over rice

    Classic halal cart although you can't beat their price. Only $12.99 for a chicken over rice plate, I feel like most carts charge $15-16. They give you a lot portion wise and load up the white sauce

    I love halal food, and I love places that open late even more. My friend highly recommended this food truck and after a long night out, it truly hit the spot. I recommend getting their gyro over rice. As you can tell, they give a really good balance of salad, meat, and rice. They were also super generous with the white sauce, which I love. I like the rice grains a lot because I've been to some halal food places where the rice grains are a bit too hard. Overall, 10/10 halal food. I will be coming back again and again.

    So I have developed a halal addiction since a few weeks ago. My latest halal adventure happened while having drinks at the Low Down Lounge. Halal Time is right next door and conveniently open early. I had lamb shawarma and chicken over rice and it was so good. I was disappointed about the garbanzo beans given I had ordered it without but other than that, I was extremely satisfied with my food.

    Halal Time is a good time! logistics: We came here after happy hour drinks in East Austin based off a recommendation from some guy with a podcast. We had street parking and just walked the couple blocks over. food: This is the perfect late-night, after drinks food. Given it was only 9pm or 10 pm on a Friday, it wasn't busy. They didn't have Falafel that night (probably because of the ice storm), but the lamb was cooked to perfection. That white sauce is the star. I think it's tzatziki and it's delicious on the rice and the fries! I ordered fries for the drive home and they were so crispy and warm. In-n-out needs to take some notes. service: The service was outstanding! The gentleman who took our order was so kind and helpful. He apologized multiple times for the wait and it had only been about 10 min. I really appreciated that even though I was perfectly fine waiting.

    Excellent fries - huge portion! Like, seriously, absolutely the best French fries I've ever had!! The lamb over rice was also very good per my husband's discerning feedback.

    Lamb Wrap
    Anna B.

    Was looking for a quick and easy bite and saw this food truck with a decent line even after 9pm. I got the lamb wrap to share and it was delicious! Loved the flavors of the lamb and the veggies tasted fresh and gave the wrap a nice crunch. I appreciated that there were a few benches near the trucks that we could sit and eat out!

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!

Lamb beyti - loved the flavors here, kinda was giving a Mediterranean take on ravioli in the to-go box. Not sure if that was meant to happen, but we enjoyed this and the sauce on it! Chicken shish kabob - The wrap was massive, missed on flavors here BUT quantity was more than enough. Falafel - about average? Overall the lamb beyti carried, and I'm curious to try everything more fresh!

The hosts and hostesses at the door were incredibly warm and welcoming and truly went above and beyond to find us a table on a very busy Saturday night.

The food was exceptional: fresh, beautifully presented, full of flavor, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared.

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.
