Reviews
The food was amazing, I had the mixed chicken and gyro plate and the white sauce + hummus was SO good. And the falafel was super moist. But the real 5/5 is for the owner. He was so kind and when he found out I accidentally spilled most of the meat on the table and had to reorder (we didn't want to tell him because it was my fault), he ran out to give us our money back. He also gave us a ton of free baklava. You can tell he cooks with a lot of passion and treats everyone like family.
Had it door dashed while I was at the conference center. Great flavor and value. My only regret is that I don't live in Austin. If I visit then I will make sure to go again. Also I had this weird thing happen where I had to cancel and reorder. The staff were very nice and followed the special instructions well. With that being said even if the food is not "hot" it is still really good.
This is the second time I've been to this food truck and it tasted as good as I remembered! This food truck is located right behind Valero Gas if you're heading down east Manor. Kinda easy to miss if you're passing by quickly but if you see something that looks vaguely like a silver submarine, you're at the right place! There's some parking spots (2-3) near the truck but if those are filled, there's street parking nearby too. There are also picnic tables right next the truck where you can enjoy your food (just be warned that there are usually a lot of flies in that area). Service is quick and the owner is always friendly! He gave my friend some free baklava with her order since it was her first time trying this place out. He would also occasionally poke his head out of the truck and ask if we were enjoying the food, which was sweet as well. Mix Gyro and Chicken Shawarma Plate ($16.99, 4.5/5) - Super big portion sizes - can last at least 2 meals! All the ingredients work really well together, just the right amount of flavor. I preferred the gyro over the chicken shawarma, so might just get the pure gyro plate the next time I visit. Overall this spot is affordable, food's delicious, and the service is great! Would highly recommend - this has become my go-to spot for Mediterranean food in Austin and you get to support a kind owner and his business while you're at it.
The food is incredible, high quality and delicious. My favorites are the mixed plate and falafel gardenia plate. Also, the owner is really nice and friendly. We love this food truck so much!
I'd been meaning to try this place for ages and finally got around to it. It was delicious! And the owner is so friendly!
