"Fire-grilled meats, such as lamb tikka and chicken shawarma, take center stage on the menu at this halal Mediterranean restaurant, with locations on North Lamar and in Round Rock. The beef kebab wrap packs in smoky char and garlic sauce, while the halal double cheeseburger offers a satisfying detour. Mix-and-match platters make it easy to feed a few people without much fuss. Order online through its website for takeout or delivery." - Darcie Duttweiler
