Yeah buddy this is place to get your Shawarma on! I really enjoyed eating here. It brought back some memories when I serverd over in the Middle East during my miltiary career. I have not had Shawarma since I was last over there. It was definitely great tasting! I will agree with others the meat was not cut like they do over in the middle east. The staff was very friendly and were excited to know I knew what a Shawarma was. I definitely recommend folks to try it. White boy was pretty spicy but not to spicy hot for your taste buds. I am going to have to try the Brown Boy hot next time. Food was very tasty, very well cooked, and I felt like a VIP when ordering my food from the truck. I can honestly say the negative reviews for the place are not justified in my opinion.

This is the second location that Shawarma Point opened up, the first one was on 7th Street. Shawarma Point has learned a lot since opening up their first location, their second location has put a lot of emphasis on food preparation that's noticeable when you first unwrap your food. I don't understand the negativity some reviewers have, their really minor things. Bottom line is that the food is great whenever you're hankering for some delicious Mediterranean themed food with a modern twist. The sauce is unlike any other, it's hearty and gives the wraps an added umph to compliment the oh-so-spicy brown people spicy sauce. The meat is nicely cooked and the bread is unlike any other middle eastern eateries and is always warm and fluffy. The best part is that although the portion size is generous it always leaves your palate feeling refreshed, and the rice bowls never feel too overbearing.

Shawarma Point I wandered into your establishment during lunch for my Thai massage class. Why not? There are picnic tables, it's sunny and nice and I've freebased enough claritin to live in this city without committing hara kiri. I peruse the menu and order my beef/lamb shawarma as the plate with rice. I'm asked if I want it white people hot or brown people hot. Since the guy I'm talking to is brown and I'm white (like Jim Gaffigan Pale), I pause for a second and ponder the race relations debacle I'm about to succumb to. I begin to ask, "What kind of brown people? Thai? Indian? African?" I gaze to my right and see the thermometer and announce...make it white people hot, no ghost chilis for me. $9 bucks later I wander to my spot in the shade with a bottle of water.
The guy comes out a few minutes later and casually hands off what could have been a foil dish of porn. Booty so curvy and round...oh wait, we're talking about food. Shawarma that's been on a vertical roaster and caramelized like the food of the gods it is. Marinaded in the spices and sauces that Sirens tended to while they washed laundry in O Brother Where Art Thou.The rice was a light yellow and each grain was unstuck to the next. It was like they all got together and decided they'd snuggle underneath this meat of love I could say love meat but that'd be gross. The lettuce and tomato on the side was cool and refreshing while the cucumber sauce was tart and tangy thus meshing a barrage or flavors and textures into a nearly ecstasy like experience that made me forget people were watching me eat like a hog at a trough. The chile sauce that came with was hot, think sambal but fresh. I don't believe this was bottled folks and it blended with the food just like all the other flavors in such a way that I wondered what culinary Motzart was in that food trailer figuring this out. I sadly finished my tin plate, considered licking yogurt off the pan but allowed myself tie to breathe. Another plate? I refrained, I had class to teach and it'd be too much in my belly. I looked at the trailer longingly and noticed that they cater. My only thought was how many more Thai massage classes would I have to teach to get them to set up outside of my home permanently.Read More

The concept of food trucks in Austin isn't new, however in the midst of numerous food truck options Shawarma Point has found a way to stand out above the rest. From it's simplified yet delicious menu and it's hilarious spin on the Spice Level Chart it makes for the perfect choice weather you are out and about exploring Austin during the day or just wrapping up a long night of partying at night. The customer service, food quality, and price for the food are all excellent! I've ate here numerous times and I usually end up leaving with a to-go order as well! I highly recommend the chicken plate with brown people spicy! Oh and don't forget to ask for extra white sauce!!! You won't regret it!!

Living in Portland, OR I'm pretty familiar with the food cart scene. That being said, we all know it can be totally hit or miss, so when I came to this particular pod I was ready for anything. After reviewing my choices for a moment I almost reluctantly chose this one. The universe really does provide, for this is one of the best gyros I have ever had. And then the baklava... Oh my. My food- snob chef friend was with me and he was tripping out on the baklava. He went so far as to call it the best he's had! There were six of us altogether, one vegan and gluten free, and between us we ordered nearly everything on the menu. I didn't get to try the shawarma but I heard rave reviews from said chef friend. We all ate and were completely satisfied with food and price. Will definitely go again before we leave!

I have been going to this food truck since they opened. I was new in Austin, and I didn't know very many places to go, especially that would be vegan friendly. I am so glad I found these guys. And no, I was not drunk at the time. I had actually been across the street getting tattoos. Now I hit the truck every time I am in the area. The guys are sweet and sincere, and very accommodating to this hungry vegan. I usually get two falafel wraps because one will never be enough. Not for lack of size-they are very big, but they are so good I always have to get two. And totally worth the wait.
