Decently solid med spot that seems to be operating out of a ghost type kitchen in the food plaza near congress bridge. We grabbed a bite here during downtown exploration. They didn't quite get my order right with the customizations I made and there wasn't anyone to tell, next time we'll try somewhere else. read more

This is located in the bustling food truck park on Rainey. I checked in this time, and Yelp had a 20% off deal. The employee said he had never heard of it before, but he honoured it. This was very kind of him to do. I do hope it is a real check-in offer and that it is consistently honoured. I've gotten the chicken shawarma plate here twice, and I've enjoyed it. It doesn't compare to Halal Bros or Kismet, but it's not bad. The portion is a decent size, and the price is reasonable. With the discount, I paid $10.36. I wasn't able to finish it the first time I got it, but I easily finished it my second time. The flavours are good, and it's nice that they put a good amount of salad in it too. read more

Will never return. This isn't the authentic way to make middle eastern food. Very disappointed in the shawarma. The chicken had a distinct taste that I couldn't figure out. (I'm Jordanian). Not enough veggies and barely any garlic sauce. I ordered humus. They served only a dollop of humus with pita. Humus is from a can and they don't even try to dress/fix it up. Disgusting. Never again! read more

After an exhausting afternoon at ACL boy were we happy to find this place! This place served up delicious food and we were so thankful that ACL was inclusive enough to include halal food. I had a string fries craving so we got the beef and lamb gyro over fries and it did not disappoint. I was worried that the fries might get soggy but they didn't and salty fries mixed with spiced meat, creamy white sauce and feta and zingy red sauce was arguably perfection. The owner seemed really nice and even gave us more halal recommendations for other vendors at ACL which was super nice of him!! (Though I forget what these were) all in all would definitely try this place again. read more

Food: 3/5 Not bad but not great. I had this place at ACL - a balanced musical festival meal that served all the needs: carb, protein, and veggie. Do not think I will be going. Here otherwise. The chicken wasn't that flavorful // overall the dish was lacking flavors. I wish also that there had been more sauce on the food. read more

Shawarma Point - Sharwma Chicken Plate - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

4.5 stars The lamb/beef shawarma wrap is really delicious but the meat could be just a little bit better. The spice level was great. The meat was juicy enough and they had the right amount of sauces in the wrap. The food was made quick enough. read more

Waited 30 min for my salad When I checked on it they had totally forgotten it. The girl whipped it together. No apology and the salad was not worth $15. Tossed about half in the rubbage bin. Food truck location. Nope and nope. read more

As a vegetarian, the only item I can have is the veggie falafel wrap consisting of chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, and fava bean patty and it's an absolute delight. After a couple of late night events, my boyfriend introduced me to Shawarma Point one night and it has been my number 1 go to place of all times. The server always has a smile and 'ready to serve' attitude despite being in the inferno heat inside. If you are into Mediterranean quick eat food fix then Shawarma Point is the joint to be at. read more

We ordered the Chicken Schwarma Plate, adding Hummus with hot sauce on the side. I received a bowl of rice and lettuce with two tomatoes and a few pieces of chicken. No hummus and not an actual plate meal, it was half salad and 2+ cups of rice. Will never return. read more

Was super full but couldn't resist getting an order of falafel. It was so good! Crispy on the outside, moist and delicious on the inside. The two gentlemen who worked the truck tonight was super nice and friendly. read more

Shawarma Point - Falafel - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

We like the beef/lamb shawarmas here. Taste very fresh with the lettuce. The bread is like fresh naan/pita bread.

Needed a quick bite while at work and decided to give Shawarma Point a try. This is your very standard shawarma food truck. It wasn't the best I've had and it also wasn't the worst. The food came out pretty quickly but the food lacked flavor and the chicken was a bit rubbery. read more

This is like reaaallllly close to a five but not quite. It's a food truck at UT near the intersection of W. 21st and Whitis, making it a quick jaunt from Calhoun Hall, my academic Batcave. I ignored it for years because most of the UT food trucks are lame, and now I regret it. So, you can get your stuff as a plate or wrap (get the latter), with beef/lamb, chicken, or falafel as the main. You should get the last one to be good people, but also because the falafel is crunchy and made-to-order and glorious in all known ways. Spice is a game here. The owner/operator is friendly and cool, and so are the other people I've dealt with, but the spice levels (ranging, bluntly and hilariously, from "no spice" to "white people spicy" to "brown people spicy") will require you to assert yourself. (This is also true of all Thai places.) Speak up if you want it spicy, and let them know that you mean it in your soul, or they might downgrade you. Truth. So, it's about ten bucks, it's good, and it's hot if you plead your case. Can't think of any better truck options around and it provides an alternative to Teji's, lackluster Dobe Mall carryout, or Chipotle. Check it out. Protip: hummus and pita is $2 off with a student or staff ID, so be sure to ask. read more

The staff was polite but the Beef/lamb salad was basically a spoonful of meat on lettuce with ranch dressing. Perhaps I ordered one of the weaker menu items but this was sub-par. Meat not very flavorful and not really browned much so texture was also uninspiring. read more

While in Austin for my boyfriend's birthday, one of our must-do's was go to Rainey and check out the food trucks. I wanted a gyro SO bad, and was so excited to see Shawarma Point. The computer went down while I was ordering, but the gentleman helping us still took, made and brought me my order. He even went so far as to try give us the gyro for free for the inconvenience (there wasn't one, it was amazing and very quick). The gentleman that helped us was so funny and kind, we will definitely be back on our next visit! read more

I ordered the Beef and Lamb Wrap, mild, with extra white sauce. My daughter ordered the Beef and Lamb plate. I am a huge fan of Gyros. While the one I ate here was good, I have had better quality at other establishments. The white sauce is not Taziki suace, its tastes like a creamy garlic sauce. The plates are not much more in cost but seem to be double the size with ingredients. They ask how spicy you want it, I asked for mild but it was definitely hot. The ingredients were good quality though. Just really surprising at the quantity difference between the plate and the wrap when they cost about the same... read more

Their chicken shawarma plate is bomb! The white sauce over the chicken was delicious and took it to another level. You have the option of customizing the spice level. I had mines on the side to alter the spice level to my liking. It came with a bed of basmati rice and a side salad. It was reasonably priced, 10% off for students (must show ID). The food truck is located off 24th st across from the campus fountain. There was no wait which was a plus especially since it was during lunch hours! read more

The truck came to our neighborhood and we were blown away. Placed an online order and it was ready within a few minutes of the scheduled time. Got home with the food and... Damn!!! Best falafel we've ever had, and we love falafel! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with lots of flavor. The chicken was great too, not to mention the hummus! We had an all around great meal and will order again the next time they are close to us! read more

The portions are always generous and I'm happy about that because the food is tasty! If you love pita bread, hummus, and all foods middle eastern - try Shawarma Point!! The staff is always friendly too and that's always a plus for me :) read more

I noticed a sign for Shawarma as I was heading home one day and I had to stop by. I tried the wrap with beef/lamb and hummus and asked for it to be fairly spicy. It was awesome! I am quite opinionated about shawarma - I feel like people tend to either make it too dry or too greasy. I thought that the meat was moist, not greasy (YUM!). I also loved the fact that they did not skimp on the veggies and were generous with the sauce and hummus. I plan on going back to try out the salad. There should be a ton of chatter about this spot - it's fantastic. From a purely cosmetic standpoint, the logo is clever and bright (super attractive). Bonus - there are awesome, shaded tables and benches right next to the food truck. Best spot in the house. read more

This is my go to place in west campus for shawarma/halal. I typically get the beef/lamb wrap (with brown people spice level- interesting metric for spice level, but they don't mess around with their red sauce) and it is always consistently delicious. Quality meat, pita, veggies, and of course, sauce. Reasonable price for UT students too. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for a good shawarma wrap/plate near campus. EDIT: Unfortunately, I have since been forced to change my review. The food remains great. However, the fact that they accept online orders (which, mind you, requires you to pay upfront), when they are closed is absolutely ridiculous. I tried to order food online (during normal working hours as listed on google), placed my order of about $20, but when I arrived at the truck, it was completely unstaffed and closed. My first thought was to call their number as listed on google. Yet, the phone number listed on google is actually for some young kid, who had no idea why I was calling. After, I decided to attempt to contact them online, but I have not received a single response. No restaurant establishment should use an online ordering system, if they are going to allow people to order when they are closed. This truck really needs to figure out a better way of posting hours and taking online orders if I am to reconsider my review. EDIT #2: my complaints and issues were solved quickly by the owners. Back to 5 stars! read more

Yeah buddy this is place to get your Shawarma on! I really enjoyed eating here. It brought back some memories when I serverd over in the Middle East during my miltiary career. I have not had Shawarma since I was last over there. It was definitely great tasting! I will agree with others the meat was not cut like they do over in the middle east. The staff was very friendly and were excited to know I knew what a Shawarma was. I definitely recommend folks to try it. White boy was pretty spicy but not to spicy hot for your taste buds. I am going to have to try the Brown Boy hot next time. Food was very tasty, very well cooked, and I felt like a VIP when ordering my food from the truck. I can honestly say the negative reviews for the place are not justified in my opinion. I look forward to coming to this truck for a shawarma in near future. I will say my four and ten year olds liked the white boy hot too. My little three year definitely thought it was too spicy for him. My wife enjoyed her shawarma too. We both got the chicken shawarma. read more

This food truck was at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, CA two weeks ago and they are a complete scam. First of all, the food was awful, that might be expected at a music festival, although a gyro was $16, so that really sucks. But yeah, food sucked. That's not why I'm writing this review. The workers of the truck are scamming people out of money on tips. I order 2 sandwiches, which should have come to $32, I know ridiculous, right? Still, not why I'm writing. My total came to $40, very quickly, and I was trying to get out of the way of the next people in a very long line. I suddenly realized how much this cost, and I stepped up on a stool to inquire. They said, "Oh you tipped $8." I corrected them and said I did no such thing. They asked me how much I meant to tip, and I felt on the spot, so I said $3. They refunded me $5. The point is, I was never asked how much I want to tip on the original purchase. This is a scam, and the owners should know about it. Buyer Beware. People are crooked. By the way, the food sucked, too!! read more

No complaints on anything from salad to shwarma to rice. Everything was spot on. For the proximity to campus and it's bustling competitors, I'm pretty satisfied. I came looking for a decent mediterranean meal and pretty low expectation and left full and thinking I'll come back. Don't be fooled, for being a food truck, they have great catering options as well! Everything was well flavored and cooked and the sauces were good - I don't think it's traditional Taziki, but I liked it. Had both the chicken and lamb shwarma and no complaints there. Will be back! read more

Delicious food! I had the Beef/Lamb Gyro plate, definitely recommend putting extra white sauce on it! Service was fast and friendly.

My wife and I have been eating here for 7+ years now. We no longer frequent Austin, so anytime we go back on a weekend, Shwarma point is a must. The flavors are so on point, its not even funny. I've eaten 2 beef lamb bowls in a single night... Its that good. The owner is awesome and so are his employees. Double brown people spicy on the beef lamb shwarma. They will know what you mean. Don't let people get soft lol. Keep it og. Eat here!!!! Give them your money. I do it time and time again. read more

Who doesn't love a good food truck? Austin is full of them. Shawarma Point is probably the best in a town with MANY options to choose from. Whether it's a late night snack or with my friends after a busy night out, or a lunch date with my girl, these guys and gals are always on point. I especially love their wraps. I'm a long time customer and will continue as such. 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

I love the chicken wrap, highly suggest it with "brown people spicy" if you enjoy a kick to your food. It's a great meal to grab and go on the way to class, or if you're in the area. The meat is flavorful with a sauce you'll probably want extra of. read more

Walking distance from dirty 6th and open late night, this food truck was THEE best! Any place that has some vegetarian options holds a special place in my heart, but this place is also SUPER good! I wish I could have come back here once more before my trip was over but sadly it was a once in a lifetime experience. read more

I ordered the Mediterranean plate with the beef/lamb and requested it "White Boy" hot.. though I did want to get it "Brown" hot.. I was sharing with others who cannot take that level of heat...so I declined it. (note: Brown heat comes with Habanero's) The meat was cooked good, the rice was flavored nice, the yogurt sauce was refreshing and the overall to-go plate was nice. Next time I am in the area, I would visit the truck once more. read more

I would definitely advise against ordering from this food truck. The lamb and beef gyro is disgusting. It's mushy ground meat, mostly fat. I'm used to having thinly shaved meat in gyros, not mush. There was very little white sauce added on top, and way too much lettuce. The chicken was better, but still not worth returning for. Also, seeing as though they are parked at football games, festivals, etc in hot weather, maybe sell COLD water bottles? Especially in Texas on a hot day, please do not give customers warm water bottles. read more

A friend has been telling me about Dock & Roll Diner and their Lobster Rolls for months so finally I decided to give it a try. Arriving shortly after 11:00 a.m., when it was scheduled to be open, the place was closed. I was not a happy camper. Dock & Roll is located in a food stand park so there were several other options. Shawarma Point caught my eye. I love Middle Eastern cuisine so I ordered the Lamb plate but was a bit disappointed in the size of the portion The food was flavorful but not enough. I will give it a try again but I will not rush into ordering. I saw several other items that I like but many questions will be asked before I order and perhaps the next time, I will be able to give Shawarma Point Five Stars!! read more

Only bought a coke. The one outside on display was a 1L but when I bought he gave me a small one which was only 355ml. That was misleading. Edit: Amended the problem. Will give a shot in the future. read more

#brownpeoplespicy . That's the spice level I chose, I kid you not, that was the name. I got the Beef/Lamb Bowl with basmati rice and all the fixings. Wanted fries....but they ran out. Oh wells. The portion was large enough for me to be satisfied and everything was delicious! Service was great, they are such friendly people. My only tip is, this portion might not be big enough for those with bigger appetites. Great place! read more

Nothing screams more mainstream than kebab, falafel, or gyro food trucks in Austin. The market for ethnic diversity in the form of a mobile eatery has long been tapped into, and I cannot think of much more you can do to aforementioned eateries to set them apart. Nonetheless, Shawarma Point executes its namesake well, whether in wrap, salad, or plate fashion. Plates come with rice, which provides a change-up from the typical "beef/lamb wrap to-go." The falafel boasts solid flavor, though lacking that crispy fried texture. Atop a salad, I found the feta and tzaziki nice touches, but the canned black olives disappointed. Hits and misses alike in their offerings. On the whole, a pretty middle-of-the-pack food truck. I believe it merits your attention if you are on the hunt for the best shawarma in Austin... though we have so many variations here in town: gyros, shawarmas, kebabs, doner kebaps, when do the options end???? read more

Expensive for what you get but it was near 6th street so that's understandable. I got the falafel wrap, with hummus, and it tasted okay. Nothing to write home about. I asked for a no spice wrap and I still found it to be very very spicy, AND I'm brown! So yes, I don't understand their spice meter. Not funny guys! The wait on the wrap was about 12 minutes, which tbh I appreciated (freshness) and not (hunger). But after the wait, I was expecting to be blown away and I was disappointed! It tasted nice, but not "Woah! I can't wait to go back there!" read more

I tried out Shawarma point at Mala Luna Music Festival, and I have to say I wish there was a location in San Antonio! The falafel was great and crispy, yet soft on the inside. The ratio of vegetables to falafel and pita bread was great, not a lot was falling out. The lady who took our orders was helpful and kind. However what really won my heart were the seasoned fries. The white sauce and spicy sauce were a great addition to the seasoned fries, we piled on the sauces and then my friends and I devoured them. The fries where seasoned well and the portion was amazing and enough to share for 2-4 people. read more

Wasn't sure if this place was good but I decided to give it a try. Got the beef/lamb wrap and it was actually pretty good. Would definitely recommend it. read more
