    I stopped by TX Shawarma while in Austin and tried the chicken shawarma plate. It was pretty good, but I didn't think it was super flavorful. Pretty decent portion size. Nice staff!

    I tried this truck once and it was phenomenal. The mix shawarma plate was really good. The gyro meat was succulent and seasoned to middle eastern perfection while the chicken shawarma was also juicy and slightly charred which enhanced the experience. The rice was perfect and if you don't like the salad well my friend you need your head checked! Most have tried a Gyro before and this ranks up there with the best. The lamb was perfectly seasoned, the pita soft and pillowy while the cold crispy lettuce, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce hit all the required notes. As for traditional sides the hummus was tasty and not dry as chic peas can be if not careful. I opted to try the Dolma stuffed grape leaves (stuffed with rice) and reminds me of some of the best Greek Dolmas I've ever had. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you want to be adventurous and experience Greek/middle eastern food. If you are experienced look no further to curb your fix! Bravo!

    We were passing through Austin and decided to stop and try TX Shawarma and it did not disappoint. We tried the gyro wrap, gyro salad and the chicken shawarma plate and all of them were amazing! The service was friendly and fast and the portions were generous! My kids loved their meals too and asked to come back again. We'll be sure to come back next time we're in the area.

    Solid gyro bowl! Rice was less salty which I appreciated since everything else was salty (the gyro and white sauce). Will be back! Very filling :)

    I'm in Austin for business from So-Cal. Came across this food truck heading into the city. I enjoy Mediterranean food so I decided to give it a GO! I decided on the Gyro Plate and oh Boy, this was a great choice. It had everything from meat, rice and salad. The meat was perfectly seasoned, sauce and rice were perfect in balanced flavor... not too salty. And the salad was fresh, crispy and light. Perfect balance in my opinion. Real happy I stopped in. It was awesome!

    I had been meaning to check out this food cart area since I moved here and finally did. I was a bit surprised to only see three carts so that was disappointing but we knew what we were coming for so it didn't make much of a difference. Anyway, we were also surprised to see that this place's dishes were all under $8! What a deal! I got the shawarma salad, and we also got the dolma and hummus on the side, which each came with some pita. The salad was more meat than salad, and a movie of it, and while tasty wasn't really what I was hoping for or expecting. The meat was a bit salty and I really was hoping it would be more salad. In any case it's a great deal and very tasty just be aware that if you're trying to be healthy and eat something light even the salad isn't really the way to go

    Nice and easy for leftovers

    Lunch is SO affordable. Like $8 per person for their plates. I love their falafels. They're delicious, perfectly moist in the middle, tasty and flavorful, and surrounded with a crispy outer shell of goodness. Veggie eaters rejoice! I ordered the falafel plate and it was so yummy. The saffron rice is DELISH and I love that my plate also came with lettuce, tomato and cucumbers. The weird part for me was the pickles. I'm not opposed to pickles, but the pickled flavor was a bit off for my plate. The portion size is great for lunch. I saved mine and I basically had a late night snack later that day. It's a solid spot where you can expect to be full and flavored up. However, it doesn't beat some other falafel I've had from spots like TKS up north and Bay Area falafel in CA. They're located in the same location as other food trucks like Manoli's ice cream (YUM. They have soursop here...I mean c'mon!!) and another truck. It's basically outside picnic table seating, so it's great for groups, date night, dogs and kids! Come one come all, basically.

    First time having TX Shawarma, a student opine works here and he kept telling me to come visit him at work so that he could make me a delicious meal! He wasn't there today when I went to visit but the food at least what I had ordered was delicious!! I've had a fairly decent amount of Shawarma from around ATX but none tasted this fresh. The rice didn't seem stale and the chicken was super tender and flavorful! Definitely should try! I'll be going back to try other menu items!

I…read morearrived around 1pm on a Wed and it was pretty hopping so don't expect it to be empty just because its a weekday! I put in a to-go order for a kibbeh wrap; the price seemed typically high for the area, but when I got my order its quite a sizable wrap so all-in-all a pretty good deal! The food did take about 20 minutes to come out- I wasn't going to complain as there was a line of people the whole time so I could tell it was busy, but when I did get my food they apologized for the wait and gave me some free baklava so even if there had been hard feelings that would have 100% fixed it lol I'm a huge baklava fan and had actually been considering adding some onto my order but didn't because of the long line! So service was great, but most importantly- the food! The kibbe wrap was huge; I managed to finish the whole thing but in two different sittings lol. The kibbe was generous, and the pieces were flavorful and juicy. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the whole thing was lightly sauced but the flavor of the kibbe popped enough that I didn't think it needed more sauce. Delicious and I would 100% order again. Plus the (free!) baklava was top notch! Sometimes you get the ones where the filo dough is a little tough/chewy and it still tastes great but the texture isn't there- not with this baklava! It was tender, delicious, and a perfect end to the meal. Parking was limited on the street but I believe the Triangle has garages also- I was able to snag a short term parking spot for MezzeMe which is actually why I originally decided to check it out!

Chicken shish kabob - The wrap was massive, missed on flavors here BUT quantity was more than enough. Falafel - about average? Overall the lamb beyti carried, and I'm curious to try everything more fresh!

The hosts and hostesses at the door were incredibly warm and welcoming and truly went above and beyond to find us a table on a very busy Saturday night.

The food was exceptional: fresh, beautifully presented, full of flavor, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared.

We spent around $600 with tip and fees for 5 (mixed grill, two apps, two drinks each); and while the food was delicious the meats were luke warm not piping hot, our server while very friendly was not the best at giving suggestions (basically she said everything is good lol) and wasn't able to split the check 2/3 and 1/3 instead of 50/50 ("... I don't know how to do that"), and the cocktails while tasty didn't really feel special enough to be $21-25 each. It was a very enjoyable experience I just don't know that it lived up to the price tag. For that price I'm looking for exceptional not just very good. That being said the food was delicious! Pricey but pretty good portions. The server said the mixed grill was good for around 4 people, but with two apps it was actually a little too much food for the 5 of us. Mixed grill ($220): -Rosewood Wagyu Strip and Lamb Chops: tie between these two for the best dish; they were both juicy and tender and the sauces were delicious. Not served piping hot but they were so good I didn't really mind. -Harissa Marinated Beef Tenderloin: great flavor- a tad dry. -Spiced Lamb Kefta: also dry, I liked it best with the yogurt sauce. -Red Pepper Chicken Thigh: delicious, one of my fav kabobs. -Herb & Garlic Shrimp: tasty and not overcooked -Charred King Trumpet mushroom: loved the veggie option! they mushrooms were substantial and the sauce was great. -Crispy Shallot Hummus: very good- loved the crispy shallots in particular! -Manti Dumplings: top app- I would 100% order this again the dumplings were delicious and the sauce/yogurt on top of them was the best, we wiped up every drop with the pitas! -The pita bread was hot, fresh, and delicious and our service kept on offering more, so I don't know if they've changed their policy but my experience was not the same as reviews that said only one pita per person. We refused extra pitas 3 times I think! Cocktails- everything we tried was quite good, but again there wasn't the pizaz or just 'blown away by the flavor' to feel that the crazy price was totally justified. We tried: Spanish G&T (very refreshing- don't chew on the juniper berries lol), Banana Bread Old Fashioned (pretty good even for someone who doesn't much like whiskey!), Bonfire on a Beach (fun, smokey, love the harissa on the side), Peach Martini (teensy bit sweet for me but good). The manager stopped by a few times to check on us and our server was very attentive. She did give us good service its just for the high price I would expect some more detailed suggestions on drinks, being able to split the check other than 50/50 (or at least ask someone instead of just saying 'I don't know how'). It was friendly and enthusiastic service just not 'wow this truly is fine dining' service. Outside of the restaurant, parking is a bit of a pain but that is normal for down town. We parked at the Laz garage half a block away- $8 for 2 hrs instead of the $27 for valet.
