Phoenicia Bakery has been among my favorites for over 20 years. Their dolmas are incredible, the special falafel is OUT OF THIS WORLD, and I have yet to have a better Gyro. To top it off, their pistachio baklava is delightful.

Oh my lordddd this was so delicious ~ plus authentic, quick, and cheap. Will be my new regular lunch spot without a doubt.

I love going into Phoenicia...the smells of their bakery are so welcoming. The ladies are always nice and attentive to my order! If you haven't been ...go!

I absolutely love Phoenicia Bakery! Their lamb and beef shawarma is the best I've had in Austin— so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Their bakery items are also amazing, and their namoura is hands down the best I've tried in Austin. Everything is fresh, delicious, and made with great care. Always a favorite spot for me!

This place has the best manakeesh (cheese/zaatar bread) in Austin. They taste exactly like how they make them in Beirut. The dough was perfect and the flavor was 10/10. It’s also nice that they have basic staples for when we’re running low on our Mediterranean goods like labneh, pita bread, etc. Will be visiting again and again!

Simply delicious and authentic. These market contains authentic Greek ingredients you can’t find elsewhere. You can order sandwiches, plates, and gyros at the counter - great size for the price.

Long overdue review here. Been going to Phoenicia for years. The have the best Gyro and Chicken Shawarma in town. Everyone is very nice and helpful. They have a grocery store, bakery, olive bar, feta cheese and prepared items in the fridge as well- tabouli is one of my staples- fresh and delicious. They have lots of loose and bagged teas, candy and fresh fruit as well.

This is one of those places that reminds you that before there were fancy sit down restaurants, there were small hole-in-the-wall ethnic grocery stores making great food. Everything here was unbelievably good. I had the Falafel Special (wrap, $8) and my girlfriend had a chicken shawarma plate ($12). We both had baklava. I cannot recommend this place enough

Phoenicia is one of those places you walk into and you just think, “I’m glad these kinds of places still exist.” When you don’t want the flashy, trendy, fussy new spots that close after 4 months and bribe people to leave good reviews… come here. You won’t find influencers and ostentatious decor here. The shop is charming and the workers are kind. Lots of specialty international goods. Not only is the food delicious, it’s reasonably priced and CLEAN. It’s really a fantastic spot. And if you’re in a hurry, grab a gyro (they’re made handheld), sit in your, and dig in.

Broad variety of foods, snacks, and ingredients not found at your typical supermarket. The gyro was very good with large pieces of meat, tzatziki, onions, tomato, and lettuce. Very tasty, will come back!

Great family run operation. Have not been there for years. Forgot what their gyro was like. Had one. There were no olives in it and not sure if that was part of a cucumber or not. Maybe a little more tomato too. Meat was delicious! And sauce was good. Baklava was good. Good change of pace for sure. I miss the delicatessen from where I'm from. Good job.

Nice family run business, small but packed with goodies. Sandwiches are tasty, will be back for more in the future. Parking is available outside along with a few tables and chairs if you want to eat next to south Lamar. This place has obviously been around for a while, possibly a good sign that it's lasted the test of time...
