Kebabalicious

by Lenny V.

Beats any NYC halal cart hands down, or even any NYC turkish doner kabab joint !  I was in Austin for the night on business, checked yelp for something to eat close to my hotel, a lot of people seemed to like this place so i decided to try it out. Got there at 830pm and the only open from 9pm-3am.... waited ... menu was simple, very friendly employees there and even a heat lamp outside for those cold cold nights. Menu is simple its chicken kebab pita, lamb and beef kebab pita, or salad. Decided to go with the chicken kebab pita cause im "trying" to watch my cholesterol. came with delicious white sauce, tangy yet flavorful spicy sauce, red onions tomatoes just a burst full of flavor that all worked really well together which blew me away. devoured everything in a few mins and went off with my night to enjoy Austin's nightlife !

I lived in Spain for a year in a town called Alicante. It was on the Med. coast and was this amazing beach/party town.  There was this big port and they built all these clubs on the port because in town they had to shut down at earlier hours so people could sleep (by early I mean 4am).  But on the port you could party all night and into the morning.Among the clubs on the port was a kebab shop.  A little room with their assembly line and nothing else.  The line regularly went out the door, down the corridor, and wrapped around a club.  I swear they put crack in these kebabs.  When we traveled to other cities we'd get kebabs thinking it was a Spain thing.  It wasn't.  Just that one place. Crack, I'm telling you.  Some nights we would go out, just so we could get a kebab.  We would go to a club...hang out for 20 minutes...then look to each other for approval that we had done our duty and deserved kebabs....not sure why we felt like we had to party before kebabs. Maybe we thought that was part of the magicI have been back state-side for about 5 years and still distinctly remember the port kebabs and miss them dearly.  I almost cried when I found kebabalicious (to get to the review).  They recreated the port kebab exactly!  I love them.

Sorry.. just don't see what all the hoopla is all about. I saw all the 5 star reviews and wanted to be part of the crowd but just couldn't do it. This place is obviously popular late at night (drunk food) - I see its popularity linked to the same reason Roppolo's is the star of 6th st after hours.. Drunk people think everything tastes better than it should be.. My lamb/beef kebab was decent.. the meat itself was ok.. nothing spectacular.. the sauce and filling also just ok..  the pita was hard as a cracker and dry.. which offended me the most here. I suppose they should get an extra star for just being there at 3 am.. but they are only open certain nights anyways and the wait sucked..

Disclaimer:  I have never eaten here when sober.  Or anything close to sober.That said...wow.  Kebabalicious is nutritious and scrumpdilicious and any other -icious words you can think of, unless they're negative.  Truly.  Meat-eating knuckle draggers and granola-chomping hippies will both find happiness at the little blue trailer of delight.   Be sure to ask for extra napkins unless you're sure that little hottie you just dragged out of the bar for a late night snack thinks tahini-funk is sexy.

I was able to pick up a falafel a couple nights ago and was definitely pleased. Water is only 50 cents with your purchase of a sandwich, and I definitely felt like the whole meal was worth the $6. I wish they had a location other than downtown though. Good work Kebab!+Great service+Seems clean+Falafel was great (I had it with regular hummus)+Was there at about 2:15AM and the line was moving surprisingly fastAlso, keep in mind they don't open until 8

After continuously missing them on 7th, I finally tried Kebabalicious. They were one of the food stands at Fun fun fun Fest. I'm guessing that since they're usually served through a food truck that my experience was authentic. Or the equivalent would be spending 6-10 hours at Beauty Bar, god forbid, and then venturing to their usual location on 7th. $3 water, $2 water, wait $1 dollar water from Kebabalicious and its even cheaper if you get it with a meal! Granted that because their prices are clearly printed on the truck itself, they couldn't perform selective festival inflation like so many of their competitors. I know Miller High Life is the 'champagne of beer' but never should anyone pay $5 for one! I shared a large chicken pita which was very filling and good. The chicken was cooked well not too chewy and the red sauce was delicious. I like my pitas warm and my ratios right, and they preformed on all counts.Forgot dinner? Ready to drink? Grab a kebabalicious.Done drinking? Need something to fill that stomach?Grab a kebabalicious.I LOVE THIS PLACE!I've had the chicken and lamb/beef shawarma. The chicken is great and the lamb/beef is AMAZING! The only thing I do not like about this place is the timings. They're only open after 9 PM (Wed-Sat). I wouldn't mind going here for lunch (if it was open!)So it got late and my friend and were hungry. We were already planning on going to Mugshots, so we started walking there. But right in front of our eye was a big gleaming yellow food cart named Kebabalicious. We checked it out and noticed it was only $6 for a regular chicken kebab, so we ordered. I got mild, she got medium. We got it hot, fresh, and oh so tasty! The chicken had a few bites that were a little flavorless, but the majority was good. ALSO AS A SIDE NOTE: use your napkins, and remember there is a hole in the bottom! I did not realize until some random guy gave me a weird look. I looked down and the sauce was all over my hand, my pants, and my purse, it looked like I threw up all over myself. Other than that the crew was friendly and were having a good time. I can't wait to go again sometime. Only this time I won't have sauce all over me.I don't think I was drunk enough to fully appreciate this cart.  But, I was at Fun Fun Fun on Sunday, in the rain, and semi-buzzed, and only experiencing fun fun wet.  While usually I give most festival food vendors the benefit of a doubt for crappy food, due to the need to produce mass quantities quickly, I figured that since this place is normally on-the-go, the food would be top notch.  Well maybe it was top-notch, for Kebabalicious, but I've definitely had better.  I ordered a large Falafel and got a large pita filled with a steamy mushiness like nothing I've ever experienced before.  Dried-out falafel is a common problem, but super mushy and over-spiced?  This was a first!  It wasn't the worst falafel I've had, and if I were piss drunk, I might give it another go.  But I'm hoping to be nowhere near it when that happens.  And you better hope I'm nowhere near your toilet!

My pal Tony, from work, took the gang here. So glad we went!Food was delicious, fun, and fast. Whatever you get will be good. Add feta to your order- makes it taste better.If you feel like you'll be coming again, ask for a frequent buyer card- soon enough you'll earn one for free.Please open a location in South Austin, like on 1st, Lamar, or Congress or something. I'm not that hip anymore and don't make it downtown very often!

When I stumble out of Mugshot's at 2am and need some munchies stat, Kebabalicious is just what the doctor ordered. I've had the chicken kebab and the falafel kebab. I like the falafel better. From what I can remember the hummus is tasty. There are usually cute guys working there too. One night a homeless man made us a cobra out of foil while we were chowing down. Kebabalicious is far, far better than most other late night food offerings downtown.

One time I ate here when I was really drunk. From what I remember, it was pretty good. I was too drunk to walk up and order so my friend took my credit card and ID and ordered for me, and the lady gave him shit for it even though I was right there and I was like "it's ok.." Maybe she thought he robbed me? Idk. Beef kebab = delish. Also it's about the size of your face. Not bad for $5.
