    Moussaka
    Ruthie W.

    Recently, I looked up Restaurant.com to find a new place to try. Syrian Kitchen piqued my interest and we went to check it out. Don't let the simple outdoor facade fool you. Inside is traditional and beautifully set and inviting. Ghada was our server, who took great care of us. We ordered several dishes to share: Lamb Ribs, Lamb Shank Mandi, Moussaka, and Syrian Salad. Everything was delicious. Our favorite was the tender lamb shank. We ended the meal with the Baklava. The only bummer thing was that they no longer honor the Restaurant.com deals. It's still a decent experience.

    Couch to gather& share foods and fellowship!

    Small restaurant in a strip mall off Evers and Wurzbach. Don't let the location fool you! Fresh food and nice ambiance! They've been there for 12 years! (How have I missed out?!) There's a huge couch that people can gather in groups and share food and fellowship! Such a great concept! Will definitely be back!!

    This was one of my first ventures into Syrian cuisine. Came here for breakfast after a morning hike and was blown away by the food. I'll be honest, my boyfriend ordered everything for us, but I enjoyed every bite from every plate. Staff was courteous and attentive. The atmosphere was quiet, friendly, and intimate. I'm looking forward to going back!

    The food here is delicious! Definitely a place to go when you need a good home cooked meal. The atmosphere is quaint and there are loud groups at times but overall a really good business to support.

    Food and service here is AMAZING!!!! You have to come here. The Turkish coffee is to die for. Authentic atmosphere & food. They made me feel so welcome and comfortable. We had Mandi chicken with cucumber/mint/yogurt salad, rice, mandi lamb, chicken schwarma & falafels. Can't recommend it highly enough. My son ordered out gyros previously and recommended it to me. I'll definitely eat here again and again!!!! Baba Ganoush looks fantastic. I'm trying it next time.

    So let's start by saying. This is not a typical place to eat. If you are looking for service, this is not the place for you. So it took around 5 min for the person behind the counter to bring us menus & he just left them on the corner of the table. No smile, no Hi, no I'll be right back.... after 15-20 min the person from behind the counter (I believe the owner) showed up again to take our order. Took our order and left. Brought our drinks In 2-5 min. Soda cans only that didn't bother me (if you have any preference). Food didn't come together. We got our appetizers first tho. (2.5 stars) Atmosphere is quite, it almost looks like a hang out place for guys. Small place 25-30 max pushing. The only problem I will say, that if you have some ignorant customer who would make you uncomfortable. (3 stars) Food. So this is something that I was impressed. Appetizer were hot & tasted great. (Pita bread was in zip lock bag lol, was warm and not soggy. Don't have a problem with that as long as they were not microwaved) (so 4.5 stars on bread) I got my food in 10-15 min, took another 10-15 min for rest. Food was not warm but hot after 30 when everyone got their food my rice and chicken were still hot. Every thing tasted great. My family loved the food even my 5 year old loved it. (5 stars on food) ***7/16/19*** update Went with family for breakfast great experience. Food was fresh. Had a chance to chat with the owner. We had ordered the Breakfast Platter. Loved the tea. So will I come back to this place yes. Did i love the food yes. Service i can deal with. Now if I don't want to deal with the service make a pickup order.

    arabic breakfast

    I was not planning to review this because I was being selfish and I wanted this secret gem all to myself. Yeah, don't blame me. Being the first to review is a big deal and honestly during my to San Antonio, this is the only place I wanted to go. In fact, it was the only i place I went, (for breakfast at least). For ten dollars per person, you and your party will get a traditional arabic breakfast. Everything you can think of and more. Hummus, foul, olives, fresh pita and other dishes people might not know by name but rather by taste. The hot tea and this healthy yet filling breakfast is the perfect thing first thing in the morning. Too bad it opens at 10 am and not earlier. SORRY EARLY BIRDS! It's not the fanciest breakfast place in town but probably the most fresh, filling and bang for our buck you can find in Texas. I seriously want to transfer to UTSA from UT just so I can live in San Antonio and come here every day. The fact that there are nothing but arabs at this great arabic place just shows that it's authentic and tasty. I should mention it's closed on Mondays!

    This place is filthy, stocked with well past "best by" date groceries at gouge-level prices,…read moreunapologetically charges more than in-store posted prices for sandwiches and is staffed by a customer-hostile crew. A sandwich made with a stale, dry roll cost two dollars more at the cash register than a price for that same sandwich on a sign just behind that cash register. This will earn any establishment a fine courtesy of the City of Austin. Complaining about the stale roll is met not by an apology, but rather with the ridiculous claim that the roll "was baked this morning." The store is a mess, and virtually every grocery item costs twice what it would anywhere else. Phoenicia remains in business only because it is one of the few "Mediterranean" food outlets in Austin, and also because it may have once been good. But now it is a disgraceful must to avoid.

    This is the best middle eastern bakery, grocery store, and restaurant in Austin!! I stopped in here…read morethis weekend to get a chicken shawarma wrap and oh my god it was perfect. My boyfriend got the regular (meaning beef/lamb) shawarma wrap and it was insanely good. We also enjoyed some fresh pita bread and hummus and shopped around the store as well. Such an awesome place run by some really incredible people. Service here was fantastic and the seating area was super cute as well! Please come give this place some love!! You won't regret it!

I was so excited to try it out, and from the moment I walked in, I thought i was going to be in for a real treat. The ambiance was fantastic, ugly outside but a transformation inside. Sure it looks dated and tacky with Persian rugs dressing up cheap wooden benches, and middle-eastern floor seating that seems off limits unless/until they determine whether they like you or not, but it's Austin. There's real personality here. We were pumped for the food, ordering a pretty epic spread. Great: Gyro. Clearly roasted and carved properly on a spit versus the pre-sliced garbage that often graces lesser Greek and Middle-Eastern establishments. Falafel was exceptionally crispy on the outside and moist inside, accompanied by a lovingly crafted hummus. Meh: literally everything else we had was pretty boring or bad. The rice was clumpy, a clear sign that the rice had been cooled and reheated. That's pretty unforgivable (the only time that's permissible and proper is for fried rice or rice desserts like rice pudding). The chicken was overcooked and bland -- no salt at all. Kofta, which I always look forward to was undercooked and slimy inside. No thank you. From its location, kitschy decor, and friendly service I really REALLY wanted to love this place, but sadly, the food is what fell far from the mark. I hope they find their mojo.
