If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do it. It was my first time in this restaurant, but it won't be the last one, I am completely satisfied. The atmosphere feels so authentic and charming, the design is amazing, very Arabic style, also the background music. The staff was so warm and welcoming, I feel they really care for the people having a nice time, every detail, they are available to provide you the necessary information of the foos for you to be able to enjoy instead of pushing for you to consume more and more, is so human, the menus are good illustrated with pictures of the food. The place is a bit small with tables adapted for all sizes of groups... big... small, or just a couple and it feels so intimate. In regard to the food, it was what I was looking for, the sizes are perfect in relation to the price, the flavors are a whole experience, not fatty at all, very delicious!!

I've had usta kababgy a few times when it first opened in Lamar area (the original location before they moved across the street). Food was excellent but I didn't write a review then cuz the service wasnt the best. This round rock location was unassuming from the outside but has some pretty nice ambience inside. It was pretty busy on a Friday night. This time, the service was homely and kind. Got the sharing bbq plate - comes with 7 skewers of your choice + hummus and tabbouleh, and bread. Not sure if bread is unlimited. The food was all fresh, the tabbouleh was the best I have had yet. Usually it's heavy on the lemon and parsley and both were fairly muted here. The meats were all good. My fav was the chicken kabab and the lamb Tikka. Besides those two and the chicken Tikka, the rest of them kinda tastes the same to be honest and I really don't know which is which. Still, it was all still good though. The 3 sauces (garlic, tahini, and some kinda really spicy sauce) really helped in enhancing the flavors. The bread was just fantastic too. I liked the music too but it was a bit too loud in my opinion. We had a pretty good experience overall.

Hubs and I tried Usta Kabobgy in RR today! Overall, it was very good!! Nice ambiance - and it's not fast food. Everything cooked in house (halal) and excellent wait staff. We love Med. food and were a bit overzealous in what we ordered, so we bought home a LOT of leftovers!😂 They bring some fresh flat bread and dips to start - and the bread is huge (and addictive!)! I included pics below. Then we ordered baba ganoush and the super tasty( it had mozzarella, halloumi, and akkawi cheeses) flatbread. Both were wonderful! We ordered one more app - their version of tzatziki, which was also great! We then split the lamb tikka platter. The lamb was a bit dry, but nicely trimmed and wasn't gamey, and was tasty. We took desserts to go - freshly made by their pastry guy and ate a piece of semolina cake while there (which they generously gave us on the house since it was our first time!) . The cakes ran a bit dry, but the desserts were still tasty (no pic of those!). Prices were very good also for the amount of food we were given! We'll be back!!

During our weekend visit to Austin, our family treated us to lunch at Usta Kababgy in Round Rock, Texas, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s clear why this spot is a favorite among our loved ones! This was our second experience with Usta Kababgy, and it only added to our appreciation of their quality. From the perfectly grilled kebabs to the authentic sides and fresh-baked bread, everything was cooked to perfection. Beyond the food, the hospitality stood out just as much — warm, welcoming, and attentive. The decor created a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. No doubt, Usta Kababgy offers some of the best quality Mediterranean cuisine in the area, and we’re so glad to have discovered this second location. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Austin or Round Rock area!

Wow! My broker Mark Taylor of Venture Partners R.E said this was an awesome place, I have to admit, words are not enough to describe this amazing place! The atmosphere, the design, culture brought to life is a MUST have experience! The food is an exceptional cuisine! Best I’ve ever had!

This is the best and most authentic Mediterranean food I've had in Austin. It reminded me so much of my grandmother's cooking. I'm so glad we tried it out. We will be back.

I got the Kebab plate and also tried their Tiramisu, the taste was perfect as usual, the service was great especially from “Um Hassan” she was super friendly and added a lovely touch to my dining experience. Definitely worth it

What can I say? My husband and I have been going here almost 3-4 times a week in the past month alone. We are floored by the authenticity of the food and the warmth of the owner - really made us feel like family. Our favorites are the ground chicken kebab, falafel, hummus and the home-made pita. The desserts are amazing too. Baklava is full of nuts and made with honey (no sugar syrup). Toffee flavored cheesecake was out of this world, and I’m not even a cheesecake fan! You can really see the quality in each and every item they make, it’s such high quality ingredients and the owner confirmed they make it all from scratch. On one of our previous visits, we had an issue with service, which the owner took seriously and made it right. Shows how much they are actively involved and care about customer service. We will continue to visit you guys!

Spicy Kabob: 6.75/10. it was fine, but nothing special. Decent flavor. ($20) Bread came free (which was great) with 3 sauces: yogurt sauce, some spicy tomatillo sauce, and another one. All of these were just okay. Overall, didn't think the food justified the price. I personally wouldn't come here again.

Okay. I don't know what I was expecting but this wasn't it. Usta Kababgy is located in a little strip mall that used to have a lot of other stuff in it and is now filled with lots of top notch international cuisines. There is lots of parking and we were able to get a spot directly outside the front door. There is a patio area right outside, which will be especially nice once the weather is warm again. We walked inside and were taken aback by the decor. It was VERY sumptuous. Pierced work chandeliers, inlaid tables, embroidered and embellished pillows and cushions, just a gorgeous place. A hostess walked us over to our table with menus and gave us a chance to settle in. It was very quiet, despite being the first day of Ramadan. Our server came over with little cups of lentil soup and said they'd been making it all day long. She said it was extremely busy earlier in the day and they were just starting to wind down. We placed our order and waited. The lentil soup was delicious. It was very smooth and had an almost roasted flavor. It tasted like it had been slow cooked in a crock. I've never had a lentil soup like that before. Then came the flatbread. Perfectly crispy bottom while still being chewy and flexible enough to pick up food. It came out with some sauces: a creamy garlic, a jalapeño, and a tahini. The garlic was my favorite. We ordered a small pot of Moroccan tea, which came out in a silver service, already honey-sweetened with a delicate mint finish. This was a perfect accompaniment to our meal. The kofta tagine was served in crockery which stayed hot throughout our meal. The chicken and tenderloin kebab were both expertly seasoned and juicy, which doesn't often happen with grilled meats. The chicken was probably my favorite part of the meal. The rice it was all served with was warm, fluffy, and fresh. It tasted lightly of cinnamon and cardamom, and almost tasted like it had been cooked in broth rather than water. The hummus is extremely smooth. If you're a fan of chunky hummus, this isn't for you. You will not find a hint of graininess. There are no chunks of chickpea. It is as smooth as pudding or yogurt and I've never had hummus like it anywhere else. It was truly a delight. We ordered dessert to go and left. The absolute star of the show, though, was our server Ruwaida. She anticipated our needs so expertly that she often showed up with things before we even realized we would need it. We never ran out of sauces. I never noticed that my glass needed refilling. She was exceptional, thoughtful, and efficient. I don't get out to Round Rock very often, but it looks like I'll have to make it out more regularly because this place is fantastic.

Round rocks hidden gem! What a fantastic restaurant with incredible food and fabulous service! This place is beautiful inside! Love the middle eastern vibe and decor! The sofas the artifacts, even the music transports you into Northern Africa or Middle East! It's just so beautiful inside! As soon as you are seated you will be welcomed with pita and some dipping sauces to enjoy! The pita is hot of the stove, fresh and fluffy and the sauces are to die for! Both our servers zenia and Jessica were over the top kind and welcoming! They literally treated us as if we were long lost customers or family! The warmth in service was so heartwarming! The kababs are fabulous! We forgot to take pics because it was so good we attacked the food! Our favorite was the spicy kabab the humus and the chicken tikka as well as the Zatar flatbread! That flatbread was off the chart yummy! Definitely recommend this place

Some of the best kebabs I have had in the Austin area in a long time. I ordered the lamb, chicken and beef/lamb kebabs and enjoyed the lamb the most. All food is cooked fresh before each order and tastes delicious. The service was great here. 3 different workers came and checked on the quality of food and made sure we didn't need anything. At 6:45p on a Sunday, there was no wait and only other family eating inside. This was my first time eating here, but I had heard raving reviews from my parents who are seasoned vets at this place. Their recommendation did not disappoint and I am currently planning my return before leaving town in a week. When hearing it was my first time, they gave me some free complimentary desserts that were also delicious. Very fresh.

Went here for Valentine's dinner. We got the spicy kabob plate. It was a good portion and the flavor was pretty good. It came with free naan bread and 3 dipping sauces which were good as well. I'd say the food was a 7/10, good but not mind blowing. Service was fine and we enjoyed the beautiful decor. I'd recommend if you're looking for a nice little place with good Mediterranean dishes.

The food is amaaaazing!! They give you 3 different sauces and a big flatbread, which is SO good! My favorite sauce was the garlic, I got extra We ordered the kebab platters, everything on the plate was incredible. I wanted to keep eating and eating. We also got the half and half flatbread and it was really good too! The waitress was very polite and happy.

We've been meaning to check out Usta Kababgy for awhile now. But only knew of the north Lamar location. Great time to check it out. Beautiful decor and delicious food. We ordered various plates - spicy kabab, lamb Tikka, and mixed kabab plate. Each plate comes with rice, salad, hummus, kabab, and bread. Also the Moroccan tea was delightful - slightly sweet mint tea. The staff were friendly and very helpful in explaining what everything was. Definitely will be back for the generous portions and decent prices

Just like the one in north Austin, but in a nicer space. Family run and the staff is always so nice and patient in explaining the menu and describing menu items. My go-to is the Mix Plate that has the lamb tikka skewer and I usually get the spicy kabab (lamb/beef) as the second. This comes with their hummus, rice, salad, and piping hot pita bread that I can't get enough of. For apps, the domas and falafels are delightful and perfectly seasoned. I also like the Lahmbiajin (this thincrust pizza like thing with ground beef on top) and the lentil soup goes well with this. Whenever I'm craving kababs, this is one of my top choices to go. Location wise just depends on where I am, but both this location and the north Austin one are both solid.

I initially posted this review for the wrong location. THis is for the ROUND ROCK location only, I haven't been to the Lamar location. This place came highly recommended by the son of an oriental rug shop owner on Anderson Ln in Austin, who knew I like all types of mediteranean food. It happens to be relatively close to our new house in RR, and is located in an unassuming shopping center off Old Settlers. I figured it was going to be a bland interior, with good food. I was wrong! The interior is anything but bland. It's very cutely decorated in the style of Morocco. The tables and chairs are super cute, the light fixtures are wonderful and the whole place transports you in a far away land. Now, I know nothing about Iraqi cuisine, and I suspect this restaurant serves food that is not specifically from Iraq, but honestly, I don't care that much, everything we had was delicious. The tea service was also very nice. So, go there for the food, and be delighted with the decor! Well done, surprisingly nice for a suburban neighborhood!

Charging for water? In the Round Rock suburbs? That's just ridiculous. One star for that alone. The food was decent, and the service was just okay. The server was also cleaning tables with a wet rag while handling orders--not the most appetizing sight. We wanted to add more to our order, but no one checked in on us the entire time. Definitely not the best dining experience.

This was our first time checking out the round rock location and we will definitely be coming back. Their falafel is hands down the best falafel I've ever had. Perfectly fried and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The lamb is also flavored so well and perfectly cooked. The shawarma is always a must get for us. Great portions and flavor. We also tried the mango and avocado smoothie and they were also delicious. I loved the interior and the service was so warm and friendly!

We stopped in for a late lunch on Saturday, we seated quickly and given menus and some complimentary bread and dips. As my wife and I sat and enjoyed the bread and read through the menu and noted there were many good options. The only short comings were when we finally decided what to order and finished our bread. We couldn't find anyone to take our order. It was a 20 or 30 minutes before someone returned.

The decor of this place was really special, I loved that extra touch. The staff were sweet. I got the falafel wrap, it was pretty mediocre. There wasn't a lot of falafel and it was really lacking flavor. The rest of the dishes looked pretty tasty. I like how there is pictures of the menu.

Absolutely exceeded the description. "We are only grilling fresh halal meat over charcoal, large portions, good quality food, and affordable price for everyone. " The made from scratch sauces took everything to a new level! We loved the ambiance, service with a smile, and delicious dishes across the board. Looking forward to coming back with the crew!

This place is ridiculously grubbing! The deets: + EVERYTHING was season well - kebobs have excellent flavor, perfect amount of charcoal flavor! + Vegetarian options available + Bread and a couple of dips come out with meal, even at lunch - Service was okay, need to call over staff for assistance - Pay at front only

Came on a Friday around 630, it wasn't too busy but restaurant was full by the time we left. Service was on the slower side but the waitress was very nice. Free pita bread was delicious and fresh! The rice and tikka chicken were great. I think the veggies could've been grilled more. The beef skewer was a bit too chewy for me, I think I would've preferred the chicken skewers instead. Portion was good, I shared with my son and it was enough food for the both of us.

Felt like I was a guest in someone home. I knew I was in for a treat as I was following the aroma of grilled meats. Really enjoyed the food and service. Nothing to complain about here. Been around since September 2023. This place will be blowng up I'm sure.

My family and I visited this delightful middle eastern restaurant for dinner. The first thing I was impressed by was the decor. Beautiful lanterns, artwork, cutlery, tea sets and more. I appreciate the thought and detail that went into the decor & ambiance. Service was also wonderful. The waiters were very kind, patient and attentive. We ordered a small pot of tea, falafel for my 4 year old, a mix kabab plate for my husband and I to share, and their most popular flatbread - the Lahmbiajin. Tea - absolutely delightful, and the small pot offered a generous portion! Falafel was crispy and delicious. Even my daughter agreed it was very tasty & she is a picky eater! Mix kabab plate - we got the lamb tikka and chicken tikka. I don't eat lamb but my husband was very impressed by the lamb tikka and how well cooked + flavorful it was. The chicken tikka was an 8/10 - it was juicy but lacked a little flavor (very citrusy). The plate came with really delicious yellow rice and hummus (yum!). Lahmbiajin had a very mild flavor - not for spice lovers - but very unique and tasty! We enjoyed it. Overall I strongly recommend this restaurant for an authentic and yummy middle eastern meal .

After trying the other location I went to this one. The ambiance and decor is good, staff is very friendly. We ordered shared platter and I felt the food was good but it was better at the other location. The rice and kebabs were good but bread they served was bit cold and chewy. Over all we like the experience and will go again.

First visit to this gem in Round Rock and had a great experience with good food, ambiance and service! We ordered the mixed kabab with chicken tikka and spicy kabab and both the meets were cooked to perfection ! Ambiance was set with a middle eastern theme and they had soft music playing . The falafel was hands down the best I've had - crispy outside and soft inside and not oily at all. They had a complementary dal side dish for Ramadan and it was okay. I think the dessert we ordered was called basbousa and it was a honey cake texture and tasted great! Overall had a wonderful experience and cannot wait to go back!

The food is really good and the atmosphere is very nice! We came with a large group for dinner on a weekend. Unfortunately I told the server I was allergic to onions and I found some onions in my salad. Also we were sitting for a very long time before the waitress noticed us and took our order.

I ordered the falafel and hummus plate combo and added tabbouleh. It was served with pita bread which was large, warm and delicious. This was one of the best middle eastern dish I've ever had. They even gave me 2 extra pieces of falafel which came out crispy in the outside and filling was flavorful and soft on the inside. For dessert I had the baklava and Turkish coffee which was a delight as I took in the nice decor of the interior. Highly recommend this local gem of a place in North Round Rock. I've ordered twice since then!

The food was alright , except the hummus, and the baba ghanouj was way too heavy on the tahini, and it was almost in distinguishable, not enough spices to create a good discernment of flavor. The lentil soup is not orange lentil, but green lentil, which is not as advertised or as tasty The phone service is abysmal, I asked if they had any fish, and I was told yes, but not on the menu And the owner has very little tact re terms of receipt discernment, left me with such a bad taste I would not return.

100% recommend this restaurant, the food was amazing so if you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food this is the place to go. The service was just as exceptional along with the ambiance.

The food was truly great. The hummus, aromatic rice, and meat were very tasty. I appreciate that the salad they serve is like a true cucumber salad, and not romaine lettuce. I wish there was a little more kabob meat, but that is only because it's just that good. The service was good. Very nice place. My family and I had a great experience. 5/5.

Wonderful people, great vibe, hope their food will catch up as they settle in. We had the large tea, Babaganoush, Beef Kababs and Tajin with tahini. I would get the babaganoush again for sure and the tea was nice as well. My partner's tajin took a while which makes sense but I think they held my kababs hoping everything would be ready together so my food was a little cool. The tajin was not our favorite and the potatoes they used looked to be French fries. I think these are all hiccups that happen when places first open so I hope they will improve. They have great staff and a beautiful space to work with.

I lived in Middle East and was excited to try this place. I ordered lamb and eggplant dishes and chicken and bread with zatar. They give you a plastic bottle of water instead of a glass. The zatar tasted old and so did the lamb. It was tough and chewy. I left that alone and just ate the babaganoush. Then oddly I got stomach sick and spent an hour in the restroom. My friend also got upset stomach but an hour later. I think we only were able to eat about 1/4th of what we received as either it tasted weird or old. I'm so sad about it because it's my favorite kind of cuisine and I make it at home frequently. But this was not that great.

I LIKE Usta Kababgy but it's so dang expensive. The hummus is my favorite - light, fresh and whipped. The falafels are the best I've had - not too dry. I ordered the veg plate - hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel and it was almost $20. The portions were SMALL. Also, there was something wrong with their to-go estimate. It gave me a long wait estimate and it was ready way too early. I got there on-time and all of my food was cold. When I got home, I received a text saying it was ready. Kinda disappointing meal for almost $80.

Many things to love about this place. Service....was consistent and on point. Really nice and attentive folks. Seems locally owned and they care for their customers and business. Food was great. They bring out this massive bread deal with tahini and yogurt garlic dipping sauces. So good. We also ordered the bread appetizer half Zatar and the other half cheese. Loved it. Wife got the falafel wrap and I got the veg platter. Tasty, fresh, good portion size. Ended with some baklava. Very good and nice little bites to end the meal. We also had the hot mint black tea......really nice part of the entire meal. All in all, really great meal and would recommend anyone to try it out.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! Probably one of the best kababs I have had! But apart from that every food item we ordered was very flavorful and left us stuffed. Their ambience is also very nice with authentic decor and comfortable seating. We went with a large group and they accommodated us quickly. If you're in the area, heck even if you're not you should make a trip to visit this place.

Had high hopes for this place after seeing a few instagram reviews for it & even so many good reviews here on yelp but it was a let down. I'll preface this by saying I grew up in Istanbul & know a good kebab. I know every country seasons differently & that's okay & I even appreciate it! Love to try new flavor combos. We ordered food to go. Everything was packaged tidy & nicely. We ordered 2 of the mixed kebab plates. They were supposed to be different but we ended up getting 2 of the exact same thing which might have been fine if the meat had any flavor. The chicken tikka was pretty bland & something tasted off about the kofte. It was also under seasoned but the meat itself was not pleasant. Next we had the lahmbiajin. I LOVE Turkish lahmacun & have spent so long trying to find something like home here in CTX. Some of my family members enjoyed this but it was quite sweet. Maybe not terrible but definitely threw me off. We also ordered the kibbeh & only my 1 year old enjoyed these. The texture of the filling inside was so mushy. The tabbouleh seemed a bit old not fresh. The hummus is very creamy/smooth but also very tahini forward. The bread we got was a bit stale. There was a coupon code on their website & I tried to use it & it kept saying invalid & when I called did not receive help but decided to order full price anyway given the good reviews. Overall disappointing experience & we won't be visiting here again

Absolutely MUST visit!! I came here on a Thursday date night with my husband and we were blown away. The decor is stunning, it immediately transports me back to Qatar, the little details with the vases to wall decor to the chair and everything are top notch. The parking is ample and the portions are great. The service was kind and thoughtful as well, Walaa our sever gave us some complimentary baklava which was a wonderful touch. We got the cheese and Zataar, mixed kebab plate, cheese burger with fries and a lemon mint. The kebabs are juicy and a MUST try. The cheeseburger was delicious, the beef patty a really good halal option. The lemon mint was perfection.

Amazing food, friendly and efficient service. I had to be rolled outta there because I was so freakin full! Don't forget to get their hot tea! (Available sweetened or un-sweetened) Our palate was pleased from beginning to end with their vibrant and tasty dishes! USTA Kabobgy is 100% the best Mediterranean restaurant in the Austin/Round Rock area! (Two locations and we visited their newest Round Rock location) The decor and kitchenware were mostly imported from Morocco. Their kitchen staff is diverse to ensure each dish specialty's as authentic as they can make em. What we had: Sharing Platter (5 specialty kababs, hummus and tabbouleh), do not forget to have their garlic dip - it is excellent with chicken kabab!!, greek salad, zaatar & cheese flatbread, Tora bika cappuccino and herbal hot tea. The tea pot is gorgeous as it is heavy duty! (Also imported from Morocco) Dessert: basbousa, mamool, baklava plate Everything is made in-house, fresh daily! The food is beautiful as it is tasty with every bite - bursting with the flavors of the Mediterranean. I can't tell you one fave because we loved em all!!!! Their Round Rock space is open for private rental for parties 100 people or more- ton of space to eat and be merry! GO and thank us later!

An absolute hidden gem for Georgetown/Round Rock area. Just found our #1 local Mediterranean spot. Still raving about the Hummus and Baba Ghanoush days later We picked up takeout from Usta, pretty large order to feed family of 6. The food was absolutely awesome, to the point that we all wanted it again within 1-2 days. I'm a harsh critic when it comes to Mediterranean food. Some of my favorite spots are on the west coast (Mazra, Falafel Stop). Falafel, Hummus, and Dolma are my staples. Usta has some of the best Falafel and Hummus I've ever tried Let me sum up my food: - Hummus: amazing flavor, creamy, perfect - Baba Ghanoush: perfect texture and amazing flavor. For me this rivaled the hummus - Falafel: great flavor, not too dry, perfectly crispy (good falafel is a good sign for me) - Lentil Soup: surprise hit, super comforting and robust flavor. Great for breakfast too - Dolma: perfect size, consistency, and flavor. Exactly what I wanted - Pita bread: very unique, fluffy and homemade, very delicious. This is not the typical pita I've had anywhere else My wife enjoyed her tenderloin wrap and our friend enjoyed the falafel wrap. The staff was super friendly when I picked up my order, even adding a couple extras for us to try. I regret not dining in, beautifully decorated inside with comfy looking seating and tables. Can't wait to go back

I had the Tangine Kofta and Kumi had the Lamb Kebab which were both great. Prices are little high but it is enough food for 2-3 meals. The ambiance is great and big improvement over their first location on Lamar.

The ambience is amazing, gorgeous lamps, tables and decor. Service was great too. Everything we orders was served within 10-15 minutes of placing the order. All their meats are made on charcoal fire and that's the first thing you taste. Coffee was a bit too strong for my taste but loved the hint of cardamom in it. Would highly recommend the restaurant!

Hands down best Mediterranean food I've had in a long time. The food is seasoned to perfection. You can tell the restaurant appreciates quality...

Very nice setting, quick service, excellent options, and nice dessert and smoothies. We went on a weeknight when very quiet.

I was not happy with my falafel sammie. Even the falafel in HEB to go area is compatible. There was no Tzatziki sauce & they said they had no hot sauce, so they gave us garlic sauce, which I didn't want. They have a lot of work to do if they can't get their falafel sammie on spot. Boyfriend got the spicy Kofta, and it was not prepared as requested. Place inside is unique, but I think they need to focus more on their food. I give them 3 stars because they were so nice when I went to pick up the food. Maybe we just went too soon. They are only 2 months there. I was hoping for more.

Usta Kababgy in Round Rock is a true local gem. Its warm, friendly, and fun ambiance makes it a welcoming spot for any meal. We began with the Dolma, which was fresh and vibrant--a great way to start. For the main course, we chose the Mix Kabab, featuring perfectly cooked chicken and lamb kabobs served with rice, creamy hummus, fresh flatbread, and a crisp salad. Every item on the plate was delish!

Wonderful food and customer service. When I eat here, I feel like I am eating in a palace. People need to try this place out. I love how this place is family-friendly. I love the design and lights in the restaurant; light is not too harsh, but good enough to give a warm, hospitable vibe.
