Just left here because I ordered food at the yalla, the worker seemed as if he didn t care about anything and that I was bothering him. He couldn t understand or pretended not to understand what I wanted. I ALWAYS GET Beef and chicken over rice. I shouldn t have tipped him. I get my plate and notice it s lightweight and small with more salad than anything. Two chicken kabob strips WRONG order. I didn t even bother telling him it was wrong because he look like he would just play with my food. I m upset because the bar or shop next door recommended the place.

I want to say thank you very much for the absolutely respectful and friendly service. You took my order so fast and returned just as fast with the amazing grape leaves if you havent had any you need to. Ill be honest if it wasnt to my limitations of money I probably wouldve ordered the entire menu it all looks so delicious regrettably Ive only had the grape leaves but my next trip to Austin i will try new things please for those of you willing go and try it be patient this is good quality food for am good price.

Half an hour while we were waiting for a plate of hummus, it turned out sour and the falafel still had oil in it, as if it was reheating. Frankly, I do not recommend it at all.

Fantastic late night food. Stopped by after a concert and were served an amazing beef and lamb gyro, chicken wrap, and fries. Service was fast for 1:00AM and the food was super good! Very friendly service as well. Went out of the way to make sure they wrapped the gyro and chicken wrap differently so we could know which was which. Fries were super tasty as any 1AM snack should be. Short walk from Aloft Hotel. Highly recommended for late night grub! Will have to try the falafel next time we are in town.

Have been regulars at this place since October when we discovered them by a total accident. Me and wife always crave for late night food and we always drive down at 2ish. We visit them at least 2 times a week sine Oct. On a very general basis the food is consistent and good but if you try to go in on a Sat or around events (south by Southwest etc.), I have seen the quantity and quality drop. Another time when i have seen the quantity and quality drop is when only the sons are around with weird reasons as to why it has dropped. Once it was so damn good, we came back the next day and it was subpar (knocking one star off for that). When the old man - the owner is around, he makes everything perfect and to the T. We recommend this place to everyone on a non busy night to enjoy the food to its full potential. Our friends visiting love this place as well. Parking is a pain if its busy/weekend nights. Regulars we order and recommend: Chicken over rice, Gyro over rice, zucchini over rice (crispy zucchini), egg plant over rice (crispy eggplant), chicken falafel wrap or fries with extra dry seasoning, water and lime topo Chico. Always get extra jalapeno white sauce and red sauce.

I honestly can t explain how perfect the food is here. it may only be surpassed by the quality of the people making it for you. Amar and his family have nothing but love to give to everyone who passes and you can taste it in every single item they offer on the menu. everyone should be so lucky to take him up on his sample of his rice and homemade sauces as you pass by the truck, I promise you..it will make you feel like one of the luckiest people to have it in your life from then on. *kafta over rice with creamy spicy sauce truuuust me* shako mako

Short answer: Eat here. 10/10. Longer answer: The service is 10/10. The owner is master class in food service. He believes in his food and has a passion for his business. He let me try several items and I was completely enticed into buying more. Everything was delicious. My friends had already purchased from another vendor across the street and the owner insisted that I gave them food that he provided as well. He gave me samples to take across the street and my friends were surprised how much better his food was compared to the competitors. Give this man your business, you wont be disappointed.

Delicious! Scrumptious! Yummy! The rice is a must order. My crew and I dined here tonight. Hospitality on . They were kind enough to adjust our super larger order for my crew mates who were vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters alike. We were visiting from Atlanta, Georgia. The servers at the truck were incredibly kind; we cant recommend Shako Mako enough.

This is NOT your average halal truck. The sauces are absolutely fantastic. The rice is well flavored (dare I say the best and most unique that Ive had). The meats are unbelievably fresh.
