Wow, we were titillated above and beyond by the flavors here at Kismet--decadent, vibrant, effervescent. The sauces, falafel and baba ganoush were exceptional. The staff was also terrific, generous with their time and recommendations, and helping us get all our vegan needs met. We'll be back!

My most frequented restaurant in Austin. Generous portion for around $14 with tax and tip. The rice, meat and veggie options, fries, and sauce hit the spot. I’ve tried the beef, gyro, eggplant, and falafel and all are great in their own ways. The chicken has been a bit dry, so I avoid it. The beef options can get a bit rich. The falafel is good to balance it out. Also, the employees are fast and friendly!

Kismet Café – A Gem for Halal Mediterranean Cuisine in Austin! #HalalinAustin (More food reviews around the world on IG: @sneha_speaks) If you’re looking for flavorful, generous portions of Mediterranean food without the typical Austin price tag, Kismet Café is the place to go. With Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine that caters to halal, vegetarian, and vegan diets, this spot offers something for everyone. The food portions are big and satisfying, offering incredible value for the price. My go-to recommendation is their P12, which combines the best of two menu favorites: the lamb mashawi and sheesh kabab. This platter comes with tender, flavorful meat, served with a delicious combo of rice, fresh salad, creamy hummus, and warm pita bread. The taziki sauce on the side adds the perfect zesty touch, and for those who like a bit of heat, the hot sauce option is a must-try. Even if you’re not usually a fan of wraps, Kismet’s are worth a try – packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients, they won’t disappoint. One of the standout qualities is the restaurant’s clean, welcoming atmosphere, complete with an outdoor seating area perfect for enjoying a meal with the family on a nice day. The cashiers are always friendly, adding to the inviting vibe. Overall, Kismet Café is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean food with a halal twist in Austin!

Great customer service. A blond woman helped us out. She answered all of our questions, she was great, super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. They have chips, yogurt drinks, candy bars, ice cream, high chairs for babies, damn they have everything you need to have a comfortable and warm meal. The place is super cozy with booth and table options. The music is nice and relaxing. The food is perfect! So delicious, prepared fresh! Also cool, they have a self ordering kiosk, a really nice touch.

Very good Mediterranean food. Generally get the p17 with chicken which never disappoints. The falafel however isn’t be best here (little dry). They haven’t raised their prices to insanity like a lot of other Mediterranean places in the area so that’s a plus. Usually come here every time Im in the area. Overall great place and highly recommend.

Amazing food and great ambiance. We dined in and felt it was quite safe and clean (Covid times). The staff was extremely helpful and courteous and they had a very authentic interior decor. I thought their menu was very diverse abd had various dishes I would like to try in the future. We ordered their Gyro over Rice, Lamb Masawi and Kids Menu with Nuggets and Fries. Lamb Masawi was yummm...I loved the sauce that came with it and the Salad was amazing. Their Humus was also flavourful and fresh. Gyro was top-notch ! We all loved it. Kids enjoyed their meal ... fries were good and they also gave us some complimentary fries which was great. At the end we had the chocolate baklava which was the perfect end to a wonderful meal. Looking forward to going back !!!

I got the Vegan Shawarma and Fries. Very good price, for both it was $13.50. The falafel was very crispy and flavorful. I think it could have had more sauce in it. My friend got the Veggie Supreme, it was amazing. Overall, the place was great the service was great too! They had some drinks and juices and the Strawberry Mango drink was really good! Atmosphere was good, definitely recommend this place!

A great place for Mediterranean food without it being Austin price. The food portion are big and really good for the price. My favorites there has to be their baklava. It’s always so sweet and delicious. They also have a dessert called nut roll. It tasted like cashew in it. I love their crazy sauce with chicken and gyro. Their gyro wrap is decent too. I tried their eggplant side, and it was good if you like eggplant. Wished it was salted though. There’s free parking and a nice dining area.

Nice Mediterranean restaurant located close to University of Texas campus and Interstate-35 located close to downtown. Food quality is so good, staffs are cheerful and help in choosing the options. Even for large orders, food serving/packaging is done very fast. If you want to try some nice Mediterranean meal for family during holidays/off-time ,I shall recommend this place. Togo orders are delivered through Grubhub partnership across Austin. #HappyDining

I came for dinner, with no line to order. I enjoyed my meal, which was Drizzled Plate with jalapeno sauce over chicken and falafel. The rice had a curry flavor, which I like. And the jalapeno sauce has enough kick without overpowering. Everything seems reasonably priced too. I plan to come back!

Poor service. We ordered a fries and drinks combo, and initially they said it was included at no charge. When I offered to pay for the combo, they then said it wasn’t available as a combo at all. The food quality has also declined. It used to be really good, but now it’s not great and feels overpriced. Not worth it.

The food here is fantastic. Nice music and friendly staff. BUT the cleanliness here is seriously concerning. Mold growing on the outside of the coke machine - just imagine what the inside looks like. Dirty bathrooms too. If this place just cleaned it would be 5/5. Seeing all the dirty stuff just makes me think the kitchen is the same way as well.
