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

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally made it here tnight. We ordered the chicken shawarma box and for $15 this is a lot of food so already plus points there! The chicken shawarma wrap was delicious and tasty - only slight negative was the wrap got a little chewy but fries were tasty and extra garlic sauce is always a plus. Will be back! 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

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

Went for the beef shawarma. It was great. The meat was well seasoned and thinly sliced with the sauces on the side. Hit the spot. I'll be going back to try the bowl next time. read more

Came here for an event and had a mini version of the poor man's platter. That version was plenty big though for me. Not sure I could handle the full size but myself! Had a mix of chicken and beef over rice. Really tasty. The garlic sauce on the side was excellent also. Do recommend. 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

Soooo good. I had the chicken Shawarma wrap with garlic and it was amazing, fresh and hot. They were also very friendly! 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.... oh how I love you. This is a sister truck to Peace Bakery up on Parmer so my expectations were high, and Salam's did not dissapointtt. I will dream of your falafel. Plus the owner is just a chill guy, and funny! Follow their instagram you will not regret it. read more

Would die for this place. Get the beef shawarma. Hi. My name is Customer. I loved it. Good portion sizes.

The service was great and pretty quick! I tried the chicken shawarma wrap and the beef shawarma plate that came with the seasoned fries, and overall both plates were a 10/10! The fries were seasoned and cooked to perfection! the beef shawarma was my favorite but both wraps were full of flavor! I highly suggest this place for a delicious lunch or dinner! 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

As a certified Palestinian this was one of the best shawarma spots I've ever had. It's a classic shawarma, the hummus tastes exactly how my mom makes it, the fries were so crispy. A must try if you come to Austin. 10/10 read more

Salam’s Grill - Fat man's plater and beef shawarma box + side of hummus - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

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

Hidden gem, with excellent food. The coriander fries!!! The service!!! Great vibe at this new place. It won't be a secret forever.
