Kebabalicious - Austin, TX

Walked the ladies downtown this afternoon to get a kebab from Kebabalicious.

Man was this place good.  I opted for the beef and lamb kabob, which I got with all the vegetables, feta cheese, and extra spicy.

Meat was good solid Kronos (I'm guessing) prefabricated gyro meat, which was prepared the right way thinly chunked from a rotisserie with the expert markings of crispiness on one side, tenderness on the other.  Fresh lettuce, onion and tomato provided a nice, cool, crunchy offset to it, and the spiciness came in the form of red pepper flakes, simple but effective.  The pita was incredible.  Not soft and doughy.  Not dry and crumbly.  It was the perfect texture, with a crisp initial bite, firm integrity, and soft insides.

The regular was perfect size for lunch, and left me satisfied but not stuffed, which meant we could stop by Amy's Ice Cream for a scoop on the way home, which we did.  Sugar cone mounded with Mexican Chocolate Cayenne ice cream, which was awesome.

Plenty of tables to sit at outside at Kebabalicious, and other food options adjacent to it if you want to mix and match.  Sushi in a Box, Chilantro, and Patika Coffee.
