    Mediterranean Middle Eastern

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    Smashed cucumber on labneh is the opening move, and it sets the tone for this lively family-style Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurant from the team behind Emmer & Rye. The table fills fast with kebabs, fire-roasted eggplant, and dipping sauces nobody agrees to share, which is fine because the wine list is thoughtfully organized and keeps the peace. The New York Times put it on their Austin shortlist, and it's a Michelin Selected pick.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Smashed cucumber

      “First up, smashed cucumber marinated with amba and set atop luscious labneh is an ideal starter.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Beef and lamb kebab

      “Beef and lamb kebab on a bed of fire-roasted eggplant and charred onions is even better with dipping sauces like tahini with herbs, schug, and a spicy chili sauce.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Baklava

      “Meanwhile, baklava is a treat enough on its own, but here it's given an extra boost thanks to a scoop of tahini ice cream and brûléed banana.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Falafel

      “There are audibly crisp falafel riding a swirl of tahini, amba and schug”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
