Tawakkul Bites

I was craving some Pakistani food and after eating some delicious Lahor Karahi in Manchester, UK I…read moreasked Chatgpt for a recommendation. This was the one that came up. Based on the food we ordered yesterday, I don't understand why this place is not more highly rated. We ordered, Beef samosas - since it was to go it was already soft. I think the flavor profile could have been better Mutton biryani - delicious, mughlai style Beef haleem - they ran out of goat haleem, so had to settle for this. It was mouth watering ly good Mutton karahi - probably my favourite dish. Loved the flavor profile Bullet garlic naan - had a nice spicy flavor Kheer - I think they added kesar or saffron. Loved it

Great Karahi ! Prices are good as qwll. In the past I tried their buffet that was super good !read more

My food arrived hot, which was a plus, but unfortunately that was about the only positive. I ordered the chicken shahi korma, medium spice, with plain naan. The korma had basically zero spice, even though I ordered it medium, and the portion was noticeably smaller than what I've received in the past. The naan was absolutely unacceptable. It was extremely hard, stale and had been sitting around for who knows how long. It just crumbled into pieces to where I couldn't even eat it and had to throw it away. After ordering from here so many times, I expected better. This was easily my worst experience with Bayleaf, and I was very disappointed with the quality of today's food. And to whoever packed the naan up, shame on you.

My husband and I visit regularly--almost every month. The restaurant is spacious and very clean. They serve food on Corelle dinnerware, which elevates the dining experience, and keep several water bottles on each table for convenience. In addition to the waitstaff, they use a food delivery robot, which adds a fun touch. Yesterday, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chole Bhature, and 10 pieces of Dahi Puri. The food arrived quickly, with the kebabs still sizzling on the plate. The spice level of the Tikka Kebab was spot on, and the Chole Bhature was delicious--even getting a stamp of approval from my husband! The Dahi Puris were so good that we couldn't stop eating until they were all gone. We highly recommend this spot.

It was fine because I was able to gauge the place and noticed a robot delivering some of the plates to the tables, I thought that was cool! I ordered a bunch of food because I was hungry, but I started with a cold soda which I asked a glass with ice 3 times to 2 different people, it took them about 20 minutes to get that for me. After I finished eating, I asked for boxes and the check. After 20 minutes of waiting for those. I approached the front desk and they gave me the boxes, still no bill 10 minutes later of me standing there, I was given the bill. I paid with Inkind so they asked to confirm payment but they never came back. At this point it was almost midnight and I've had it, so I paid and I left. The robot didn't deliver my food, the iPads with the menu were just for picking as you couldn't place an order directly from them ‍ The only reason why I gave them 2 stars is because the food was good and the portions were generous. I will NOT be coming back or recommending this place.

If you're looking for not just great food but a top-notch customer experience, then Tawakkul Bites is the place to be. I stopped by today, and I was honestly blown away by how welcoming and friendly the staff was. From the moment I approached the truck, I was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm about their menu. The staff took the time to explain the different options, offering recommendations based on what I was in the mood for. It felt less like a transaction and more like a conversation with people who truly care about their food and customers. What really stood out was how patient and attentive they were, even during a busy lunch rush. They made sure every customer was taken care of with a personal touch--asking how I liked my food, checking in to make sure I was satisfied, and just generally making sure I felt welcomed. It's rare to see that level of genuine hospitality, especially in a food truck setting. And honestly, the service made the delicious meal taste even better. It's clear that the people behind Tawakkul Bites are passionate not only about serving up great Mediterranean dishes but also about making sure every customer has a positive experience. If you're craving delicious food and a heartwarming atmosphere, this food truck is the place. The kindness and attention from the staff are truly one kind!! read more

Oh my lanta... the food speaks for itself! It's almost like Mediterranean fusion with some spice. I had the falafel wrap and loaded fries... needless to say, I will be making this a regular spot. Would also like to comment on how kind the owner is. If you haven't tried it, I would highly recommend you do. read more

The young lady at the register left quickly when we approached, and when I asked if we could dine in, she told us there was no room. That felt unusual, but we decided to order takeout. While placing the order, she mentioned there were plumbing issues and something was overflowing, which raised another concern about the cleanliness of the environment. She also seemed anxious and unprofessional during the interaction. We were told the food would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 30-45 minutes. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations, especially for the price. The oxtails, rice, greens, and macaroni and cheese were around $36. The okra looked like it had been refried, and the chicken wings tasted as though they were cooked in old grease. The greens had an unusual flavor, and the macaroni and cheese did not taste like traditional mac and cheese. The oxtails were messy but not tender. Based on the lack of professionalism, the long wait, and the overall quality of the food, I do not plan to return.

They were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of vinegar and cooked to that ideal tender texture without being mushy. The fried chicken and catfish were outstanding. Both were well seasoned, incredibly crispy, and tasted like they were fried in fresh grease. Every bite was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The baked macaroni and cheese was good, but it leaned a little more toward a Velveeta-style cheese sauce than my personal preference. Still a solid 9/10. I also ordered the Peach Passion Fruit Hennessy margarita, and it was superb. Smooth, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous. If you're looking for authentic soul food in Austin, The Rolling Rooster is absolutely worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.
