Editorial Review for Phara's Mediterranean Cuisine – by Andrea Lora

In Short
Owned by a former local belly dancer (Phara), expect an updated, more elegant space that still manages to maintain its north Austin character. The menu is Middle Eastern with family-style appetizers including hummus, baba ghanoush and tzatziki served with fresh pita bread for scooping. Standout entrees include a generous lamb shank, beef tenderloin, grilled salmon, and beef or chicken kabobs sided by an order of the fruit-studded rice pilaf. Share a hookah with your group out on the patio while enjoying live entertainment.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I had a birthday party here for a group of 15 and Phara and her staff could not have been more accomodating! The food was amazing, we sampled everything. The lamb with haberno garlic sauce melts in your mouth and the hummus is creamy and smooth. Our waiter continually checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed like ice buckets for our white wine and beer. The hookah room was set up with low seating and candles. Our Hookah expert showed us the ropes as we smoked the strawberry sheesh and the belly dancer was great entertainment. This was the best dinner and birthday party I have had in Austin, and I thank for Phara's! Highly reccommend and perfect for date nights too.

Pros: great patio, ambience

i chose phara's for my birthday party in the end of july after a very long search for the perfect bohemian location. as soon as i saw the cute, funky outdoor space at phara's i knew i had found the place! we used the hookah lounge which phara and her staff set up with low seating and some regular tables as well. our guests ranged from 18 to 88 in age (around 40 total), so we had something for everyone! phara also decorated the tables with fresh flowers and brought out buckets and corkscrews for the wine we brought, along with plenty of ice, glasses, water all evening long. we ordered several appetizer platters for starters and let people order dinner at their leisure. it worked out great! the BEST part was that the food is absolutely amazing. i was so sad when ararat closed, but phara has taken this place to a new level! i will be back many times! Thank you Phara!!!!

Pros: great food, very acommodating, byob, good place for a party too!

Cons: none...i loved it!
