Not bad but I've had much better right here in Austin. This place was within walking distance except it was uphill both ways. I've been wanting to try the fairgrounds for a while now and it is a pretty cool place. I was disappointed to be awakened the next day by a message that my order was ready. What? read more

Terrible food. I ordered chicken but got some sort of ground beef whose only flavor was extreme saltiness. Every other shawarma plate I have ever had has come with hummus and pita bread, this one only came with only rice and a very sad garden salad. I will never eat here again, total waste of money. read more

Overall: Shawarma Point is okay if you're downtown and need maybe a quick meal. It is located inside of the Fairgrounds, so it definitely can get busy and noisy. If you want a more authentic experience, I would look for something else. What I Got: Lamb Gyro Plate; The meat is seasoned nicely and that's my favorite part. The pita bread is a huge miss. Not warm, flat, and not chewy. The bread is a huge part to what makes a gyro and this pita misses every time. read more

Shawarma Point - Beef/Lamb Gyro Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is so good. Had it catered. Mixed lamb, beef and chicken was so juicy and had great flavor. Rice was delicious. Greek salad was fresh, tangy and complimented the meats. The sauces are on point. Baklava was a hit. Almost as good as mom's! 10/10 Would go back for more! read more

me and my boyfriend ordered two gyros, one spicy. they both came spicy and they were not labeled. owner told me it was normal. so i guess their gyros are spicy. i could not eat it and threw it away. read more

So we're still I can remember having in a long time. We ordered the rice bowl with gyro. It looked and tasted it like old hamburger from yesterday or maybe the day before. The tzatziki sauce tasted like ranch dressing. So disappointed! read more

I came to Austin for Sxsw and found this hidden gem walking to 6th street. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it was a hit. It was fresh and flavorful also hot sauce was fire. I also ordered the falafel which was hot n crunchy. This is by far the best food I ever had out for swsx. Amazing food and good service just make sure to ask for extra sauce if u like spice read more

The chicken bowl was amazing + Sebastian and J were so kind! They are located at Other Racquet Social club and this might be my new obsession meal. read more

Came here after a night out in the area. The staff was super friendly and efficient in getting our order. The food was delicious and plentiful for a great price. My cousins and I all got something different and we all loved the food. The spice assortment is hilarious and delicious. I got the chicken gyro with brown people spice sauce. The chicken was so flavorful and with the condiments it was excellent. It was so good I almost got another to go! I would gladly come here again and again when in the area. Check them out! read more

The only reason I knew what shawarma was before this point was because of the first avengers movie. Now after tasting this I realize why they ate this after they saved the world. It's a lot like a gyro, it looks like it, and as far as I can tell it's the same ingredients but for some reason this tasted better than any gyro ai've had to date read more

I discovered this food truck while working at Tesla. Probably one of the best days of my life!! The hot sauce makes this shawarma. It's like crack. I've ordered every single item on the menu and have zero complaints. Oh. And the service! Always friendly, respectful, and helpful. I actually came to Chicago and wanted to eat it here over local spots because yes, it's that good. read more

We recently had shawarma point through our catering service (hungry) and I've got to say this was one of THE BEST meals we had all week! The meat was tender and soft chicken was moist and rice cooked to perfection. They even gave a giant bottle of white and red sauce! I will definitely be seeking out this place to get food here from now on and include them in regular food rotations at the office! read more

Is it fair to review food when it is delivered late at night? I had a late flight into Austin and wanted something delivered just about the time I arrived home 11:30 PM. Shawarma was still delivering and so I ordered the Falafel plate. The ball shaped Patties are generous in size and perfect for a late night eat after an evening of drinking out on the town. Since that wasn't my goal, I was looking for something flavorful to mindfully eat after a travel heavy work week. Although the meal wasn't bad, it was underwhelming in flavor. The patties did seem more dried out than what I'd hope for yet I might chalk that up to the end of the day. (Assumption only). The white sauce didn't add anything unique to the meal. Maybe if I had more hot sauce, my palette would feel differently. It be a go to if I was starving and needed to fill a void or if I was out late needing to get food in my stomach to absorb a bit too much wine. read more

I got a chicken pita and dang it was so good! They literally gave it to me for free because I was hanging out and I guess they could tell I was hungry. read more

Right on the corner of 7th and Red River so it's conveniently located. The prices were great and so was the food. I had the gyro that was brown people spicy. My only ding was that there was one guy working so it took a little bit of time. Worth the wait though! read more

Food trucks are a must in Austin so I was on the prowl for something. Since there were so many halal carts around I wanted to try one and this was nearby where I was staying. First off, love the part of the menu where it shows spice level. No spice, white people spice, and brown people spice (there's apparently a 4th off-menu spice level which I heard about after ordering). Brown people spicy for me please! I ordered the lamb/beef gyro salad (staying low carb) so I can't really comment on the rice. The salad was fantastic though and came with a good mix of greens, olives, and feta cheese. Add to that the ground beef style gyros and I was good to go. Pricing was decent for the amount of food I got. Of course, I'm a quantity type of guy so more would be appreciated but it was enough to fill me up for under $10 and that's hard to argue with when the food is delicious. I'm not sure when I'll be back in Austin but if I'm in the area I'll be sure to stop by next time! read more

Best damn falafel wrap I've ever had. Had one 5 years ago when we visited Austin from Boston & finally having another 5yrs later. Shout out to Matthew - "wicked awesome" service!!! read more

We got a family meal when they visited our neighborhood. Everything had great flavor from the bread to the gyro meat. The flavor of all the dishes, sauces and sides were clearly important to the chef as nothing was overlooked and left to suffer the fate of being bland. They were very busy and forgot a couple of items and when we went back for them they made everything that was missing fresh. read more

A solid food truck. I ordered the chicken wrap and it was great!! Very flavorful and fresh.

I usually don't eat Halal food, but this place is AMAZING! I got the chicken wrap with a pretty low expectation, but the first bite into it, I was in love. The meat was really juicy and every bite I could get meat and veggies, it was distributed evenly. The texture of the wrap was soft but not soggy. The sauce they use was unique and it wasn't too saucy that will cover the taste of the meat. This place is a great late night food place that you will definitely want to return. read more

Visited this stall at ACL and the people there are rude and disrespectful. Food was skimpy on portion size for what a festival goer pays. The behavior of the employees was horrible and they acted annoyed when asking for white sauce and red sauce..common condiments. I will not visit this place again. read more

Ive been dreaming about falafel wraps since I got one a month ago. The chicken wrap is also solid and well seasoned.

I may not be able to eat Greek food for a long time. Falafel bites were like rocks. Tzatsiki sauce like a bad ranch. No dressing came with the salad, unless they made the white sauce a combo of ranch and tzatsiki ‍ Chicken and rice were sweet. Hummus wasn't too bad though! I've had better Greek food literally ever other time I've eaten it, which is a lot. Sorry won't be back. read more

Every time I'm at a major outdoor event in Austin, a Shawarma Point truck is always there and I always have to get something! The beef/lamb plate is my go-to but the pita wrap is also good if you want to eat on the go. You can customize your spice level from no spice, "white people spicy", to "brown people spicy". I wouldn't say this is a "must go" for Mediterranean/halal food in Austin, but it is definitely a solid option! read more

Had the falafel bites here and they were crispy and delicious! Would like to go back and try their other offerings!

Like whoa! I dunno if it was the awesome jams they were playing. The guys across the street dancing to said jams. Our reasonably priced street food meal. Or the two guys who promised it would be delicious, the same two guys who were so super nice and friendly taking our order and serving us, but I'm still impressed with my first (and def to be a regular) visit. Still salivating. The flavors were on point. *No pun intended. (; Thanks guys. I'll come back on a Tuesday... so its appropriate to play that catchy track. read more

Shawarma Point - Brown ppl spicy! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Austin, Texas

The good: Try the chicken plate (brown people spicy) and I highly recommend it! It's a generous size as well so if you're not very hungry it's good enough for two. :tip: add extra white sauce! The bad: in tiny letters in the side of the truck there is a sign reminding you of a $1 fee for all credit card transactions. It's pretty cheesy to charge your customers a extra fee for a CC payment! I would come here more often if not for that fee. Update: Was told by the owner that the $1 cc transaction charge was a rule set for every food vendor in their lot during SXSW. Customers will not have a transaction fee any other time of the year. read more

Grabbed a family meal to go from one of the food truck that was in our neighborhood because my daughter thought the food looked good. She wanted the chicken which was too spicy for her to even eat. We also did not care for all of the cinnamon in the rice On the upside, the beef/gyro meat was good and so was the salad and hummus. read more

Great! Especially at the end of a night! I got brown people spicy and it was just the right amount! Great flavor, great portion for the price. read more

Amazing food with amazing quality. I've been enjoying Shawarma Point for almost 10 years now since it opened in 2013. My go-to order is Chicken Shawarma Wrap with brown people spicy and it never fails to satisfy my late night cravings. Employees are accommodating to modifications and helping with recommendations. I highly recommend Shawarma Point to anyone! read more

Came here, because I was absolutely starving. This is a good reason to come here, you will pretty much get what you pay for. The food is OK, taste pretty good, but a little ho-hum. A little on the salty side, but way too much on the oily side. I gave it three stars because the wait was very long, the parking was atrocious, almost scary. Best recommendation is to just stop by this wonderful place if you're on foot, if you're not worrying about your health as far as salty and fatty food, and if you're starving. Thank you very much for satisfying a starving person's plight. read more

No question ask, this is one of my go to spot for a late night snack !!! I have tried alot of locations across town and this one always come out on top. The employees are very nice and accommodating to all my needs. The wait is never long (5 mins max) unless it's like 2 AM when everyone just demands foods (even then the wait is only like 10 mins max) The food always hits the spot for me. On top of that, they have a wide variety that will solved all your vegan/gluten free group problem. They are even vegan/gluten friendly. They are the best. I always come back to this location whenever I am in the area. If you haven't try it yet, I am really recommending this location. You will not be disappointed . The only thing i would advise is to know your spicy when you come here. Their spiciness scale is not your normal average spicy scale. I would defiantly come back read more

Shawarma Point has the highest quality ingredients of any downtown foodtruck. The beef/lamb gyro wrap is the greatest ever

Love shawarma point it's always a treat for me . ToNight I asked for the vegan option and the server said, oh you want lettuce? I said no I want the vegan falafel option. Guess he said ok and tried to make my falafel the spiciest thing ever, probs annoyed or something cuz he was on the phone. Gd I love spicy, like no restaurant believes me when I say I want spicy. I loved it tonight evens tho it left a lil burn in my mouth how spicy he made it. Thank you so much!!!! I'll definitely be back cuz this is the only time I've had this dude and he killed it thank you all much you the best dude on the phone with the spicy food. read more

My neighborhood got this food truck for our food truck Friday and I never have a problem! Well today I tried to order online and it wouldn't work, that's ok it happens I understand. So I went to the truck and told the guy hey it wasn't working and he's like ok what did you want I'll take your order. So I just relax and I'm a happy mood because I just got my order taken, well time passes and he asked me what was my name did I have an order and I tried to explain to him again what happen, his automatic response is well I am not Facebook soo. Then he starts to raise his voice after he asked what I would like and I tell him he already took my order and he continues to raise voice as I leave cause I don't want to deal with it. I am a huge fan of these trucks but he ruined this experience, I hope my neighborhood doesn't bring them again. read more

Shawarma Point I wandered into your establishment during lunch for my Thai massage class. Why not? There are picnic tables, it's sunny and nice and I've freebased enough claritin to live in this city without committing hara kiri. I peruse the menu and order my beef/lamb shawarma as the plate with rice. I'm asked if I want it white people hot or brown people hot. Since the guy I'm talking to is brown and I'm white (like Jim Gaffigan Pale), I pause for a second and ponder the race relations debacle I'm about to succumb to. I begin to ask, "What kind of brown people? Thai? Indian? African?" I gaze to my right and see the thermometer and announce...make it white people hot, no ghost chilis for me. $9 bucks later I wander to my spot in the shade with a bottle of water. The guy comes out a few minutes later and casually hands off what could have been a foil dish of porn. Booty so curvy and round...oh wait, we're talking about food. Shawarma that's been on a vertical roaster and caramelized like the food of the gods it is. Marinaded in the spices and sauces that Sirens tended to while they washed laundry in O Brother Where Art Thou. The rice was a light yellow and each grain was unstuck to the next. It was like they all got together and decided they'd snuggle underneath this meat of love I could say love meat but that'd be gross. The lettuce and tomato on the side was cool and refreshing while the cucumber sauce was tart and tangy thus meshing a barrage or flavors and textures into a nearly ecstasy like experience that made me forget people were watching me eat like a hog at a trough. The chile sauce that came with was hot, think sambal but fresh. I don't believe this was bottled folks and it blended with the food just like all the other flavors in such a way that I wondered what culinary Motzart was in that food trailer figuring this out. I sadly finished my tin plate, considered licking yogurt off the pan but allowed myself tie to breathe. Another plate? I refrained, I had class to teach and it'd be too much in my belly. I looked at the trailer longingly and noticed that they cater. My only thought was how many more Thai massage classes would I have to teach to get them to set up outside of my home permanently. read more
