What People Are Saying About Kismet Cafe Of Austin

In Short
A small space is well-utilized, with counter ordering and many wooden tables packed into a very informal dining area. Wood paneling walls feature colorful murals depicting Middle Eastern architecture. Most customers are students from nearby UT who appreciate affordable prices. The kibbe's golden-brown, fried wheat coating reveals a beef-herb-onion stuffing. The lamb gyro platter comes with yogurt, basmati rice, cucumber/tomato salad and grape leaves. Vegetarian-friendly falafel/hummus platter offers light patties with flavorful tahini sauce.

Kismet has awesome gyros! Their hummus is really great too. Come to think of it, everything I've had there has been delicious. Plus, you can't beat the fast service and friendly staff!
