    Chicken Shawarma Plate and Falafel Bites with hummus
    Steve W.

    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

    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!

    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

    best truck in austin !!!! amazing so good gyro. get it anytime, now later forever. amazing

    SLAPPIN!!! set the order to go and then he put the sauces on the side, extra protein for extra charge, but he hooked it up, great location too

    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.

    Need and lamb gyro (brown people spicy)

    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!

    Beef and Lamb Gluten Free Salad
    AfterSound -.

    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!

    See all

Reem's is located by Spokesman coffee and I recently was able to learn about them and try their falafel at a Yelp event, and it really was the best falafel I had ever had - well seasoned, perfectly crisp, yet light on the inside. Ever since, I had bookmarked it so I could try more. I ordered a Chicken Plate and a Falafel Plate for delivery to share with a friend. They both traveled well. The plates come with a side of tabouli and hummus. I got the Spicy Hummus, which I didn't get any heat at all so I would order spicier in the future. The tabouli was nice and bright from the fresh parsley. The chicken was okay but I think I'd try the beef and lamb instead. The falafel was just as good as I remembered and I can see myself just buying a side of falafel every time I walk by.

I came back because I appreciated having a sample today reflected the main dishes of a Jerusalem street food truck. I order using the he link to their toast. They were on a break, so I had to wait a little longer. The link to order came in handy vs me waiting to put an order in until someone arrived. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a side of falafels. My falafels were crispy and flavorful. The chicken shawarma wrap was the perfect size. The amount of meat on the wrap was really good, all of the ingredients were balanced well. The chicken was flavorful as well. I wanted to order fries, but they were sold out. There is plenty of seating available throughout St. Elmo. You can sit outside, listen to music, and grab a drimk from other businesses. I will definitely go again!

However, I'll think about coming here again because I didn't feel a good vibe with the service. We had to go look for someone to show us the table even though the place was empty for early lunch. Then, to get drinks or even the order was a problem. It took so much longer than usual. Our waitress was rude, and seemed bothered that we showed up. Then someone else came as the waitress and she was preoccupied with other tables and barely checked on us. A regular lunch which would've been one hour became almost two because of the lack of service. My friend had to stand and look for someone to give us a box to take out the good we couldn't eat because it was getting late and also to get the check because No one came in to check on us at all. It was almost like pulling teeth to get a regular service let alone good service. Again, the food was really good, and that alone was the only positive.

    I come here exclusively for the pistachio baklava cheesecake. The parking situation is a bit of a…read moreheadache but totally worth it. 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!

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.
