Usta Kababgy - Round Rock

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
