Tender shawarma, crispy falafel, spicy hummus, loaded fries
"What started as a farmers market stand now operates as a Jerusalem street food trailer in East Austin. Chicken plates come with turmeric rice and fresh pickles, while the falafel stays crunchy. Order the sumac-dusted loaded fries if you’re looking for something heavier. Place takeout orders on the website." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Reem’s is parked at The Yard on St. Elmo Road, and it’s home to excellent falafel, shawarma, and hummus. The menu is tiny, with just three different options in sandwich or plate form, plus a few rotating specials. We like the beef and lamb shawarma—the meat gets marinated in a homemade grape vinegar that makes it incredibly tender, and the hummus it’s served with has a silky smooth texture." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

"Another local restaurant that was mentioned among those originally targeted for inclusion in a food-hall plan for the 55 Harrison space that subsequently disbanded in 2021; the site is now being pursued for a different entertainment-focused use, according to reporting." - Dianne de Guzman
