    Chicken Shawarma Plate, Kibbie Ball, and Falafel
    Zachary W.

    This was a great find, felt like a hidden food truck gem. We wished we lived closer to eat here more frequently. The chicken shawarma, kibbie balls and wrap, beef shawarma, and falafel was incredibly tasty! The salad and hummus were fresh and we took leftovers home for a late night snack, which was just as enjoyable. Joe provided wonderful service and warm conversation. Will definitely come back here and recommend this to anyone who is in the area or driving through.

    So glad my partner found this amazing Lebanese spot! The food was insanely delicious, the portions were great & the family that runs it are so sweet. They make everything fresh to order! Definitely recommend going in person vs ordering online to get the full experience of the picnic tables and lights at night. We ordered the beef shwarma plate with Baba ghanoush & hummus, the red lentil soup, fries, Turkish coffee, and afterward an almond baklava. We ordered WAY too much food but didn't regret it at all because it all tasted amazing. The family is very nice & provided great service. Thank you Yusuf and Gabi!

    Lamb shank plate is amazing
    Veronica Y.

    Updating to include review of the lamb shank plate. LOOOOOOVE! The meat was literally fall of the bone tender. The rice was super fragrant and had some nuts and other goodies. The tzatziki salad was refreshing with chunks of cucumber. And of course their hummus is always great and the plate comes with a very generous serving of it. Leylas is always a great choice.

    Awesome Mediterranean food! Super high quality. Joseph and his team serve only the best! The chill outdoor Texas vibe is great.

    Best Lebanese/middle eastern food around with lots of vegetarian options! We order this in each week. They listen to order notes and the food always tastes fresh! Great quality, consistent, and wraps are a good portion. Faves: - Cauliflower wrap (I add extra pickled turnips) - Chicken shawarma plate

    I'm Lebanese and I absolutely love this place. I found it on DoorDash, and I've been ordering from it for a long time, and today I finally went to the spot myself. Everything is authentic the way it's meant to be and the way it is if you had it in lebanon the Shawarma is OG. The hummus is OG. The tabouli is OG. And even though a cheeseburger and the steak sandwich are not Lebanese. They are probably my favorite cheeseburger or steaks sandwich from anywhere. 90% of burger stores don't eat the burger at Leyla's kitchen.

    Hands down the best authentic Lebanese Mediterranean food in Austin. Set as a food truck in a charming food truck park with clean benches and games. Very friendly owner and staff. Prompt service and reasonable prices. Wide selection of excellent quality food. Will certainly be back!

    If you don't yet know that Caspian Grill has a whole vegan menu, you should. I'm late to the game…read moreand now working to make up for lost time. Not only are they incredibly kind, but also very knowledgeable about the vegan options, and even keep all vegan prep separate from animal products. For the first time ever, I was able to try real tahdig, so thoroughly crispy that you can hear it crunch between the teeth of your dining companion across the table. Khoresh bademjan is typically made with lamb, but in this case, tender lentils carry the eggplant with enough meatiness that you'd never think the dish had ever been prepared differently. If you only get one thing, though, make it the ash reshteh. Don't be fooled by the size of the bowl; this is one hearty entree, absolutely packed with chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans, soft wheat noodles, and more herbs and spices than I could identify on a single spoon. I'm already plotting how I can recreate this at home, ASAP. There's even a vegan dessert! Sweet and sticky halva, which is rich enough to split four or five ways at least, if you weren't already stuffed from the main meal. It's a double-edged sword that it was so quiet on a Saturday night. No fight for a table or wait for service, but it worries me that there's almost no buzz for this family-owned business. Get out and support them, early and often!

    A Fantastic Introduction to Mediterranean Food!…read more I recently visited Levant Halal Restaurant and brought my parents, who are visiting from India. It was their very first time trying Mediterranean food, and they absolutely loved it! We started with two different types of hummus served with pita. The hummus was incredibly flavorful, and the pita was exceptionally fresh. We also ordered the falafel, which was perfectly prepared and delicious. For the main course, we shared the Chicken Shish Taouk with sides of beet salsa and Lebanese potatoes--everything was cooked beautifully and tasted amazing. Honestly, the highlight of the meal for us was the drinks. The mint juice and beet juice were so refreshing and easily the best part! We finished our meal with baklava and basbousa for dessert, and both were fresh, sweet, and incredibly tasty. Beyond the fantastic food, the ambiance is very neat and clean, and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Levant Halal, especially if you are looking for a great place to introduce family to Mediterranean cuisine!

They looked like they were unhappy that I walked in. The food was alright but the pita was burnt (not good to serve to the customers). Otherwise... I'll check and see if the friendly workers are working before coming back. And the guy started cleaning right next to me with his spray bottle of chemicals. He stopped after cleaning the two tables on each side of me. That could've waited till they closed or he could've started on the other end. Naughty! They need to learn better customer service! Also I ordered the Levant Shawarma plate and I didn't even get to choose the sides.. very very disappointed!
