Hummus was bomb as usual, Tzatziki was creamy, falafel is some of my favorite in Austin, dolmas had a nice sweet touch to them since they add currant, pita and Tabouleh were pretty standard. The only miss for me was the Baba Ganoush, which seemed to have a creamier and more garlicky(?) taste than what I am used to. Oh, and they gave me some sort of garlic dip to go with the falafel that was super tasty as well. Parking is plentiful and seating was widely available since I was the only one dining at a late lunch time. Free coffee and tea was a nice touch.

Affordable with large adult portions and my kids love the Kid's Gyro plate. First started with a change to heavily pureed babaganoush. No big deal, just mix it in with the always-been-dry but tasty tabbouleh. Then the lemon soup seem to skimp on the chicken. But then last year the gyro meat supplier definitely changed to a more chewy texture and blander taste. Kids still liked it and still affordable so kept going back. But then last Thurs I got my usual combo platter and the chicken this time is rubbery under the seasoning. After eating about 1/2 of that it dawned on me that means it's likely undercooked so tossed that and just finished off the gyro side ... coincidentally, 24 hours or so later I got diagnosed with salmonella food poisoning that took 5 days to recover Keeping an extra star bc never know for sure if it was them but no matter that the quality has definitely dropped off.

The hummus was flavorful, the gyro meat was moist and well seasoned, and the rice was awesome. The pita even tasted fresh! Not sure how much is made in store, but from a delivery perspective I'd believe they make everything in-house, it was that fresh. It was all so good and the portions were so great I was able to bring a little back with me for the drive home!

Light bulb moment: Kismet Café located in the Hancock shopping center across the parking lot from HEB. Kismet Cafe is a casual, affordable Mediterranean restaurant, which specializes in dishes like chicken shawarma, gyro wraps, and vegetarian options. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap. The chicken was moist and flavorful along with the yogurt rich sauce, which complemented the tomatoes and lettuce. I was pleased with all the ingredients. The wrap itself was a bit hard. They were also serving baklava at $1.99 each, which is the cheapest price I have ever seen for baklava. The restaurant looked a little lived-in with a neighborhood feel. At the end of the day most folks take their food to go, so all that matters is the taste of the food. Kismet is open until midnight daily, which is rare for Mediterranean and other restaurants in Austin. It makes it easy for those folks to grab food after studying (near the University of Texas at Austin), after dancing or someone with a wild craving late at night. In addition, there is an abundance of free parking. Overall, Kismet café has good food at affordable prices and has convenient hours.

One of the best ive ever had and I'm super picky. I love it when its not too sweet, the layers are actually flaky and NOT dry with the right layers to nuts to sweetness. It had ALL of that and then some. I bought one to try and went back for 1 more. They should sell it in a 6pk. I'd def get that every week with some turkish coffee if they offered that! So.. onto the foods. Got 2 combo plates 1-chicken 1- chicken and beef Both were very flavorful and delish. Came with their own "white sauce" Which was perfect on the dish. Fresh pita made it a great compliment to mop up the foods. The hummus that came with both meals great and fresh. My son swapped the salad for fries. He is a teen and devoured the plate. Everything was juicy and seasoned well. Tabbouleh fell short for me here. Maybe it was an off batch.. I've had fresher in other joints. Come support local!
