    Kebabalicious is just a brief walk from my home and I'm glad for it. They started out with a food truck and now have this physical location. The fellas that own it have been at it for almost 20 years! Doner kebabs are my jam when I'm in the UK and I'm happy to say my jam at home as well. These guys nail it with the doners! The chicken doner kebab is my favorite with the halal steak coming in as a close second. I appreciate that all of the ingredients are fresh with flavors that just kick. Try the chicken rice bowl or K-fries too. Explosively fragrant and madly yummy.

    The Hutspa

    When I was in college many years ago Kebabalicious was just as good. And now? IT FELT LIKE IT TASTED BETTER. I got the hutspa and kfries and I kid you not I dreamed about it for the next two days. Only to go back to Houston and not find a falafel of the same caliber. What I love especially about Kebabalicious is the various sauces you won't find elsewhere and the flavor profile. I love this Turkish take and I highly recommend it to anyone. When you think fast casual "Mediterranean", think Kebabalicious! The restaurant is order at the counter and pick up when ready. You can place your first order online for 15% off. Additionally, everyone is so nice! And you can get wonderful cucumber water as you eat on the side.

    Rice bowl with falafel (a few bites in, lol)
    ciara m.

    Got the rice bowl with falafel and a side of fries with za'atar here yesterday night. I thought they had an indoor seating area but it turns out they only have outdoor seating that's covered. Thankfully they do have some heaters that they turned on from my friend and me. As for the food itself, it was solid. I enjoyed the rice topped with almonds and two sauces that you get the choose; I got the tzatziki and the tahini. The falafel itself was pretty moist but the flavor got a little lost with the rice and sauces. Overall, it was good but not great. It's a good option to have in the neighborhood though.

    I came here for dinner recently and really enjoyed my meal! I was expecting this spot to be a standalone food truck but it is so cute and has so much outdoor seating, part of which is covered under a patio situation. The guy who took my order was very nice and gave good suggestions. I ended up ordering the rice bowl with the beef and lamb kebab meat and it was so good. Everything was very flavorful and had a lot of depth. I loved the almonds being sprinkled on top! It added a nice crunch. Overall I really enjoyed this place and hope to see more people try it as well!

    Hummus & Pita

    Holy Mother of God the food is SO DARN GOOD!!!!! It's a walk up window. Outdoor seating with big fans for the Texas heat. I couldn't decide what to have so I got a lot A bowl with grilled chicken and tzatziki and tahini sauces Hummus and Pita And their K-fries The chicken was some of the best chicken I've had in a while The hummus was definitely homemade The fries - dear Lord! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside (so perfect basically) covered in a red sauce that had a nice kick to it the feta was sprinkled over the top and it was served with a lemon wedge. I will dream about these fries. Everything that came out looked good. Everything I had was fresh. Parking was pretty easy. Staff was nice. I do wish they had dessert - though I'm not sure I could eat, I'm so full (three containers of take home means I'm eating well tonight). I'll definitely be back.

    I am going to call it the OG for how long they have been serving delicious food. They were highly recommended by the family who have been dining here for over a decade. Loved the food. Its filling. The sauces were soo good and the red pepper sauce was truly refreshing. Loved it. Will definitely visit again. I am still wondering how crispy the falafel was.

    I was unsure what to expect, didn't realize it's just an order window and you sit outside. But man is the food amazing! I got the spoiled brat because I couldn't make up my mind about what I wanted. The meat was perfectly seasoned, falafel was flavorful, and the pita bread was warm and fluffy! The red sauce added a little kick to it. Best kebab place I've been to!

    The food was good, but definitely not worth the price. Two items came out to just over $43, which felt steep for what we got.

    Falafel Rice Bowl and lamb salad
    Catherine C.

    Was on town and wanted to give this place a try. The lady who helped us was super enthusiastic about all their food and let us sample the sauces, which were quite good and they also have a wide selection. Given her enthusiasm, we were not fully satisfied with the food. She raved about how great the rice was, so we tried both a rice bowl and a salad. First off, portions were a bit small. The lamb was better than the falafel, and the rice was just awful. It tasted undercooked, and was hard and stale. I'm hoping that the rice is not always like this. They do have nice outdoor seating and complementary fruit infused water which was refreshing, but the food was not up to par.

    Spoiled Brat
    Chelsea L.

    Amazing food! They have regular and king size wraps. I got the king size Spoiled Brat and one order looked like two! It was very delicious and filling. There are three spice levels-I got the medium level, which was more on the mild side for me but it was still very delicious. There are vegan options. There's also cucumber water available to drink and the tables are stocked with hot sauce, napkins, and forks. There are a lot of fans so it may be best not to wear a dress. I had to have my friend get the water haha. It was my first time coming here and my friends recommended it. I love it so much!! Keep the great food coming!

    Ping pong out back is a fun way to wait for your order.

I've only ever ordered takeout at the counter so I can't speak to the dine-in experience, but the service is smooth and efficient. Dessert is ready in about 5 minutes and food orders during busy dinner hours have taken around 20 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all given how packed they get. Everything is always packaged nicely and securely, and the food is consistently delicious. They also carry other sweets worth trying like honey cakes and pistachio baklava. On the savory side, some dishes I've really enjoyed are the Mezze Platter, Beef and Lamb Doner, and Ribeye Steak Shish Kebab. It's not super loud but the front can get a bit overstimulating when it's busy, so if you're not a fan of crowds I'd recommend coming outside of peak hours. This most recent time, I didn't realize until I was home that they forgot to pack one of the baklava cheesecakes I'd ordered. They were able to refund me over the phone when I couldn't come back to pick it up. Highly recommend!

The meat was juicy and tender, topped with a rich tomato sauce, and the yogurt added a perfect balance. The bread soaks up all the juices, making every bite incredibly flavorful. You can tell this isn't just "Turkish food" -- it's made with real attention to detail. For the main course, we had a mixed grill: doner, kebab, and chicken. Everything was cooked just right -- nothing dry, with a nice charcoal flavor. The doner stood out in particular -- very juicy with great texture. The rice was fluffy, sides were fresh, and the sauces complemented everything well. We also tried the pide (a Turkish-style flatbread/boat pizza). The dough was soft inside with a crispy crust, and the topping was rich and well-balanced. Overall: -- generous portions -- fair prices for the quality -- fast service -- casual but cozy atmosphere If you like Turkish food or just want a solid, satisfying meat-based meal -- this spot is definitely worth checking out.

The kebabs are the true highlight...juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. The portions are quite large as the hubs and I shared a wrap. We were sufficiently full after eating the chicken tikka wrap. Interestingly, the wrap came in a Shawarma King packaging with their contact phone number. So, I assume that Usta staff are sub-contracting from Shawarma King. Usta also has freshly baked bread and classic sides like hummus and rice paired with the main dishes. The restaurant has a homey, lived in feel. It has a few middle eastern artifacts sprinkled throughout the restaurant. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from Iraqi and Adana kebabs to shawarma and traditional Middle Eastern plates, so there are food items for both first timers and regulars who want to explore beyond the basics. They also serve flatbreads where you can have two different toppings. The food focus is on bold, traditional flavors rather than modern takes on middle eastern foods. On the desserts front, they have an assortment of desserts and several sections of ice cream. I had the baklava, which was surprisingly delicious...it was not eye-squinting sweet like a standard baklava. It was crunchy, flavorful, and had nuts that were substantial. Layla, my server, was so super sweet and welcoming. She pointed out that Usta provides its customers free tea. How cool is that? I cannot remember last time I received a free drink.

The meat itself was okay, decently cooked, and topped with quite a lot of some spice that I can't quite put my finger on. It was okay. The rice though, that is what really disappointed me. Persian rice is usually amazing, but this really didn't seem traditional and it had a strange taste to it. It also came with onion and a grilled tomato, both solid additions. Good portion though. The doogh yogurt drink wasn't homemade like I had hoped, but in all honesty, it still really hit the spot on a hot Austin day. Reasonable price. The saffron rice was also fairly disappointing. Large white chunks (clotted cream maybe? But they were pretty tasteless), gritty texture, not much flavor. Just not really worth it. All in all, a bit of a disappointing dinner in Austin. I'll have to look for a different Persian spot next time I'm in the area.

The outdoor space, in particular, adds to the charm and makes it a great spot for a relaxed yet upscale evening.

For drinks, I ordered a Tender Robot Hazy IPA, while my husband went with the Verdant Mai Tai. I was a bit disappointed to learn they only serve canned beer and don't offer draft options, as I personally prefer draft beer and am not a big fan of cocktails, which tend to be too sweet for my taste. For the main course, I had the Heirloom Chicken Thighs, and my husband ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes. Both dishes were cooked to perfection--flavorful, well-seasoned, and the meat was incredibly tender. That said, the portion sizes felt a bit small considering the price point. We ended the meal with the Sticky Date Cake, and it was hands down the best I've ever had--rich, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. Overall, we had a great experience. Between the beautiful ambiance, flavorful food, and exceptional service, it's a place I'd definitely return to. I'm giving it 4 stars mainly because of the lack of draft beer and the smaller portion sizes for the price, but it's still a fantastic spot worth visiting.
