Who's the most envied girl at the table?? THIS ONE. Who's the most envied girl at the table?! THIS ONE. Out of all the many food trucks at St Elmo's, I landed on Salam's and was NOT disappointed! From the takeaway box alone, you can tell they mean business. It's fully branded with the chef and contact info, not your typical Sam's Club/Costco bulk supply situation. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Box and WOW. The wrap comes sliced into DELICIOUS, perfectly grilled, crunchy bite size pieces, making it perfect for sharing (or maybe not, no judgment here)! In addition to the mini-bites, you always get a generous portion of Spicy Coriander Fries drizzled with sauce and chopped cilantro. Some places beg for five-star reviews to bring in customers, but at Salam's Grill, their food speaks for itself. NO NOTES read more

Update: After eating probably 40+ chicken shawarma wraps from here, I wanted to do an update & also correct a few things from my previous review. First of all, after trying tons of other places, it's official - Salam's has THE BEST chicken shawarma wrap. I am quite literally obsessed with them. It's the chicken, the saj/Markouk bread, the Toum - everything comes together perfectly. If I could eat them every day, I certainly would and sometimes do. Mondays & Tuesdays are sad days for me. lol I still try other places sometimes, but I'm often disappointed. Unfortunately I don't live close by & my town has ZERO middle eastern places to eat. So that's also why I place larger orders. 1. Correction: The meat actually IS cooked and shaved from a spit. But, it's not paper thin and dry like some places tend to be. It's also not chicken breast. It's either thigh or a combination of both. Whatever it is, it's working. It's the best chicken I've ever had. I've tried to recreate it at home 100 times, but it's just not gonna happen. 2. I don't think I've actually ordered from here 40 individual times, but when I do come, I order several wraps. I special order them whole with no sauce or pickles so I can put a couple in the fridge to save for the rest of the week. They don't get soggy that way and are easier to toss in the air fryer or oven later. Then I add sauce & pickles later along with pomegranate molasses. I always keep a bottle handy. (HEB has it) Salam's is always really great about granting those requests for me. 3. They have added their baklava to the online menu. Yay! **If I could add anything to the menu, it would be little cups of pomegranate molasses. Personally, it doesn't affect me because I always get my food to go & I keep a bottle at home. But, I hate that other people might be missing out on it. I mix it with their garlic sauce. When you give your wrap a little dip, then take a bite, it's like a few seconds of heaven on earth. Think: that popular video/meme/scene where John Hamm is in the club looking blissful. Yeah, it's like that. read more

Very conflicted writing this and was very much looking forward to trying. Ordered online so that might be where the issue lays, but ordered the Fat Man's Plate with falafel. Service was quick, took maybe 7 mins for it to be ready. Looking at others photos and the description (included) I feel what I received was not the same, just fries and falafel with tahini sauce. Missing out on all the pickled vegetables. While the falafel and tahini sauce was excellent I do not feel like this was worth $25. Note, did not have the option of rice vs fries. Not a huge deal, but would've preferred the rice. Fries were solid. And you can select no spice or spice. Recommend the falafel and going in person if trying out! read more

Visited Salam's Grill food truck outside of Vacancy Brewing for dinner on a busy Saturday night. My friend ordered the chicken shawarma box with rice and I ordered the beef shawarma box with fries. Our meals were ready in about 20 minutes. A lot of my restaurant reviews are all about the food, but right off the bat I was taken away by the branding of Salam's Grill. The box my meal was packaged in featured Chef Amr Hammad's name and referenced the family's Peace Bakery in town, and was just cute. Our food was flavorful and cooked well. We enjoyed how the wraps were cut into crunchy bite size pieces with plenty of toppings. The tahini sauce on the side was nutty and smooth. My friend liked her rice and I enjoyed the seasoning on my fries, although I believe they could be even better if Salam's Grill made fresh-cut instead of frozen fries. Hopefully they add a restaurant pager or text when orders are ready system, as I saw the chef having to track down some people inside Vacancy when their orders were ready. Overall, we are very happy to have another great lunch and dinner option in South Austin. read more

A Middle Eastern (Lebanese?) truck that comes to play BALL. They gave us ALL a heavy handed sample of their offerings. The beef and chicken were thinly sliced, crispy on the outside, juicy inside. The yellow rice did its job, plus the thinly sliced marinated onions, tomatoes, tangy sumac, pickles, and that garlicky toum all came together so nicely. All of it paired well with the peppery Pilsners I was sipping. Tried them at Yelp Happy Hour: Cheers and Beers at Vacancy Brewing read more

I was over at vacancy brewery over on St. Elmo and I noticed this food truck salams grill so I looked it up. notice it had 4.9 stars and went through the reviews and pictures. I decided to get the beef shawarma wrap box with the fries! I put the order in at the window and the service was very friendly and I got my order within 10 minutes. there was a good amount of people so the fact that it came out this fast was very nice. The beef shawarma wrap had such amazing flavor and the fries were a good pairing! I would highly recommend this place if you were just looking for some food or you are getting drinks with some friends in the chill st Elmo area. read more

On a cold Friday evening in Austin we checked out Salam's. As we drove up we debated as it was chilly but had this on the list for a while. Immediately you are greeted with jut exceptional genuine service. Smiles, recommendations and kindness Is what they exude. I ordered the chicken shawarma box with hummus. Also they had a Turkish coffee hot chocolate and I couldn't pass it up. The chicken shawarma was delicious. The wrap light and crispy with juices chicken and all the fixings. The box comes with a side of spicy fries. I am not usually a condiment person but asked for it as it comes and was thrilled I did. The fries had a spicy sauce with the right touch of crisp. I could have eaten them all. The hot chocolate was topped with whip cream and peppermint. The flavors were a bit of chocolate with a savory tie from the Turkish coffee,I drank every drop. I highly recommend stopping by and don't hesitate cause it's a bit cooler. Bundle up and enjoy the area and staff who are amazing. One item I was humbled by was the hummus. It was a genuine hummus with a smooth olive oil on top. Stop on by and enjoy Salam's Grill. read more

Salam's Grill is an offshoot of Peace Bakery. All of the goodness from Peace is here. No doubt. The chicken shawarma I had was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy. You get the shawarma wrap and a side of fries. Honestly, I was so full I ate just 1-2 fries, and they were good. But my true love was with the wrap. I inhaled it like a beast. It was so delicious I barely took breaths between bites. Facts. read more

We were having a tasting at C. L. Butaud and wanted something more than a cheese board. Ran over to Salam's and got an assortment of items. The hummus and toum were AMAZING! The falafel was delicious and the dressed fries were out of this world. They even ran it into the winery for us! Definitely recommend checking it out. It's not as gluten free friendly as Reem's, but for those of us who are not as sensitive with cross contamination, still some tasty options! And I recommend getting some toum to go. read more

Located in front of Vacancy Brewing, Salam's Grill has the perfect spot to sit outdoors or indoors with a drink from Vacancy. The menu has just a few options - but all are appealing. We ordered the Fat Man's Plate atop coriander spicy fries as well as the beef shawarma wrap. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful and look delicious. My partner enjoyed the beef shawarma. The Fat Man's Plate was just alright - we had high expectations for the fries, but they were not quite as flavorful as we had hoped. The chicken shwarma atop was also not the most flavorful, but we came later at night so it may be that not much was left and it was not as fresh as it could have been earlier. However, for atmosphere and presentation, would definitely come back. read more

Tried Salam's Grill for the first time and it's officially my new go-to spot for Mediterranean food in Austin. There's an affiliation with Peace Bakery - owned by the owner's parents which used to be my favorite, and now Salam's has taken that spot. The owner is funny, welcoming, and imports his spices from overseas to ensure top-quality ingredients. The quality of the food really stands out. Authentic, flavorful, and better than any other Mediterranean spot I've tried locally. Service was quick, and I ordered the sampler plate, which was loaded and gave a little bit of everything. Highly recommend this if it's your first visit. The meats were crispy, juicy, and tender, and the rice was cooked perfectly. Plenty of parking when I went in the evening, portions were big, and prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality. I'm usually pretty budget-conscious, but I'd happily spend my money here. I'll definitely be returning, this is my new go-to for authentic Mediterranean food. read more

Salam's grand opening announced at Vacancy Brewing showed that they offered gyros, shawarma and falafel. I asked for a gyro but the order taker acted as if he had no idea what that was. He insisted that, "We only serve shawarma here!" I ordered a steak shawarma wrap. Instead of a typical foil-wrapped shawarma roll, as shown on the announcement, I was given a small, square, hamburger-sized styrofoam container. The 6" shawarma roll had been cut into 4 pieces and packed into the box. Disappointingly, there was no yogurt, tahini sauce or any other kind of condiment. On the positive side, I will say that the marinated flavor of the meat was very tasty. However, the meat probably should have marinated much longer. Instead of pieces sliced thinly against the grain for tenderness, the meat was cut into small cubes which were mostly tough and gristly. Not the best example of shawarma to be had. read more

Nice to see Peace Bakery expanding. Service was great and it's in a nice little area. We ordered: Hummus: This has a really nice flavor. The olive oil on top tasted nice and overall it was very creamy. Sometimes it tasted charred almost like baba ganoush. Delicious. Beef shawarma box: The beef, I think it needed more seasoning to cut through the gamey flavor. I would go for the chicken next time. Fries were over seasoned and really salty. I like Peace Balery's cumin potatoes, I think it translates a little differently on fries. Toum sauce was really great. and the pita that they used for the wrap was as well. The custom box is a wonderful touch. This is a new place and I am sure they are finding their footing. Maybe I just caught them on an off day. I will try them again! read more

Even so, the ambience seems like the decorations were cute, but very cheap and damaged overtime with little to no repairs. But I didn't come here for aesthetics. I came here for great Boba tea and sweet treats. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. What looked like a traditional milk toast dessert, was literally four pieces of stale bread, toasted and stacked on top of each other. that tasted freezer burnt with lots of sauce on top. No topping between each layer so it was not flavorful or tasty and all you could taste was a weird chemical flavor from the bread. Same thing with the ice cream, so freezer burnt that it tasted of chemicals, cardboard, and didn't even melt despite sitting on the plate for 15+ minutes. The Taro tea itself was fine with the crème brûlée topping, but the brown sugar Boba had the same chemical "going bad" flavor to it. It was super hard and bitter tasting instead of sweet. The soufflé pancakes were fine, but the ice cream was terrible on that too. It's hard to mess up Ice Cream, but somehow they managed.

Uncle Tetsu

Uncle Tetsu specializes in Japanese-style cheesecake, a dessert I had never tried before…read more Therefore, my dessert palate was eager to try this intriguing treat. The cheesecake shop is located on N. Lamar in Crescent Plaza and focuses on takeout rather than dine-in service. I ordered their signature Japanese cheesecake, and it was delicious. Unlike traditional dense cheesecake, it was incredibly light, fluffy, and airy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The cheesecake featured a thin, creamy top layer that paired nicely with the soft, cloud-like texture underneath. Each bite melted in my mouth, making it unlike any cheesecake I have had before. It was both unique and completely satisfying. The shop itself is small and designed primarily for grab-and-go customers, with no seating area available. The store manager was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. Pro tip: Parking in Crest Plaza can be difficult during peak hours, so plan accordingly.

It's just about a mile from where I work and I'll often walk over to grab treats for myself or my colleagues. In addition to Japanese and basque cheesecakes, they also have pretty good cookies. All of the cakes have the Uncle Tetsu character stamped in them...so adorbs. My favorite cakes are the Hokkaido Milk and Strawberry. They have a great flavor selection including seasonal flavors. I love these cheesecakes because they're like a cross between what you think a cheesecake should be and a soufflé. Fair prices. Fast and efficient service.

While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.

Open kitchen so you can see how clean it is in there.

We were seated after a three-minute break, and I ordered the Joe Lioni. The chicken was very dense, and it pulled apart with barely any force. It was the texture that all chicken strives to be. The flavor was a three-way gradient: Strong lemon; to soft, heavy chicken, to a slow-building spiciness that faded quickly and painlessly. I was finished with the first piece, and about to move on to the second, but my father and sister suggested that I eat some of the spaghetti. The taste and texture can only be described as the feeling on a hike, when you come into a clearing with the sun gently filtering through the trees, and you know and enjoy that there is more to come. Very subtle and light. The pasta and chicken paired more perfectly than anything I have ever eaten before. After I finished, I got the stracciatelli cannoli, that is, the chocolate chip cannoli. I was given the cannoli, as well as a surprise bonus: the Brown Butter gelato. It was amazing. It's the next step up from custard. The cannoli was crispy, brittle, and the ricotta was smooth and rich Scraping my plate on all of these. Like a dream. Prices were somewhat steep, but worth it. 10/10

That alone says a lot. The sauces are incredible, the chicken is packed with flavor, and the rice is on point. What really sets this place apart for me is the ability to customize your salad and get sauces on the side rather than having everything pre-loaded, which a lot of other shawarma spots don't offer. Generous portions too. The food truck park it sits in also has free, decent parking, so no stress on that front. One thing to be aware of: I have found sharp bone fragments in the chicken on more than one occasion, which is a real safety concern. It may just be a byproduct of how the meat is carved off the spit, but it is something to watch out for. We also received free baklava once as a little treat from the guy running it, which was a genuinely nice gesture. Not my personal favorite dessert, but the hospitality was appreciated. Highly recommend giving this place a try.
