Tino’s Greek Cafe

Less than adequate service. The food was not great and really pricey. Much better places in Austin that serve Mediterranean food.

Not authentic greek food
Food was dry! Its sad i was really excited about this place but once i went and ate the food… Ugh it looked like the food was sitting there for 3 days, did not look fresh at all.

My fiancé and I have been talking about Greek for quite a while, so while waiting for a haircut appointment we decided to stop in for lunch. We came in about 1pm on a Saturday, not too busy, but still a good amount of people left over from the lunch rush. We were a little bit confused about the wording of the lunch menu, but the employees were great at directing us on how to order. We even had a couple in line help us decide by telling us their favorite menu items, it was great! I ordered a combination wrap plate with French fries and a cheese spanakopita on the side. Yummy! The combination was not mixed together (chicken was on one side and lamb on the other), but I mixed it myself, no big deal. My fiancé got the same but he added a side of rice with vegetables. He also enjoyed his meal and can’t wait to go back. Too bad there’s not one closer to Georgetown, Boo! We will definitely be back and will probably make this a thing when we get our haircut every month!

I was so excited to find some authentic middle eastern /​Mediterranean food. I went once and it was great, no forks but great gyro. The second time I took my husband and wanted a falafel. The server took pita bread and sauce and wrapped it up. I asked her where the falafel was… she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked for a manager and the server said there was none. Then after we sat down, still no forks… another server came up and asked me if I wanted a falafel patty. This was insulting, they gave me a large under cooked falafel patty. Needless to say this place is not authentic or worth wasting money on.

Good, fast Greek food. Don’t expect an «authentic» Greek cultural experience. But the food is tasty for what it’s worth.

Let me start off with I Love Greek Food. I has big flavors and is not afraid to have bitter as a flavor. Some dishes are pratacates on being bitter. Nothing I had here had any big flavors. I wanted a gyro plate with a few sides. The guy taking the order could not comprehend I did not want a wrap. It was wrap or veggie plate. I got the veggie plate. The only thing that had flavor was the store baught pitta. I used it to scoop up some baba ganey and I tasted the pitta. Again so scoop some tabouli and I taste pitta. The veggie mucaka had crunchy peppers and what looked like a garlic pod the was simmered so long it was tasteless. I would not recommend this to anyone. I have had better hospital food.

Everything tasted fresh and had great flavor. I had the chicken plate with rice, potatoes, and meatball. Portions were large and the staff was helpful to a normally plain boring «American fare» eater.

Had gyro at ACL this weekend. Was awesome. Very satisfying– just enough to fill me up! Delicious meat and bread– glad they had a truck out there!

I called 15 minutes before closing to get a late night gyro fix. They happily took my order and waited for me to get there to pick it up. Gyro meat and tomatoes were good, greens were a bit wilted. French fries were very very good with a nice crunch. I’d go again.

I love this place! It’s great and pretty authentic Greek food! I brought my mom and dad here to try it, my mom being 100% Greek decent was very impressed, and that is saying A lot!!! (:

I love greek food. This place was ok. Nothing super special or outstanding. Cheap greek food. Sadly I was not impressed by any of their foods. All I can say is that they are quick to serve, and staff is friendly. Buffet style set up.

The Gyro wrap was tasty enough. The meat was good but I had a soup that was very bad. All I could taste was lemon with a hint of chicken. I’ve had lemon based soups before and none of them were this strong. Would’ve loved to give a higher rating but with that soup I started out at one star

Tried this place for the first time. I usually go to Zorba Greek Restaurant and Pita Fusion which are both in Round Rock. I was at Arbor Walk shopping so I thought I’d stop by. The set up and food was similar to Zorba’s in Round Rock. Their falafel was not that tasty though. The falafel at Zorba’s and Pita Fusion was much better. I might go back when I am in the area. I just think their falafel needs more flavor. I went yesterday after 5 PM and the place was quiet. The staff is not that friendly.

Food was gross and inedible. The young gal with long hair gave rude service. She rushed us even though it was 20 before closing. Sad, I was excited after reading positive reviews. The meat was ok but everything else was nasty and tasted. I never give poor reviews but a girls gotta draw the line somewhere!

Don’t do it. It’s as if a hospital opened a greek fast food place. The food is either flavorless or way spicy. Strange flavor that is not greek or Mediterranean. Literally slop that was wayyyyyy over priced. It was like I was being punished to even attempt to eat it. I don’t understand how they are in business when they put so little care into their food. Here’s a hint. Look up. There is half an inch of dust all over everything. The owner doesn’t respect his customers. It’s gross. Try the Peace Bakery and Deli for homemade food and pitas. Miles better. They don’t have gyros but they do have schwarma.

The lemon orzo soup is amazing ! The chicken plate humans and rice you can’t beat. It is pricy I agree with the other reviews. There is plenty of seating but it gets so crowded during lunch

I stopped here because it was convenient and I was hungry, but I wish I hadn’t. Poorly executed and lacking flavor. Not authentic and not tasty. Will not return. The least objectionable item was the tabbouli, which was solid but nothing special. The falafel and grape leaf and spanikopita weren’t good at all. The chicke soup was meh.

The Lamb and Chicken Gyros are slammin. The falafel is delicious (but it’s a precooked pattie, not freshly fried falafel nuggets). The spinach turnover is great, but the meatball and rice sides were lame. The guy behind the counter could use a smile on his face, but he’s certainly not rude or unpleasant in any way. I’ll probably stop by again in the future, but won’t go out of my way to eat here.

Absolute worst food I’ve ever gotten anywhere!
Service: rude, unhelpful, OVERCHARGED, don’t offer the same menu they have online apparently.
Food:
Salad was mildewed and tasted accordingly, it was promptly discarded. Their «dressing» is just tzaziki, which is fine, but I was expecting a vinaigrette. I was also expecting edible food, so, my bad.

Gyro meat, pretty tasty. Nothing special.

Falafel is wrong texture, wrong shape, soggy, mushy, looks like a latke. Tastes like fried and nothing else. That’s right, tastes like fried. Everything about this was wrong. Disgusting is an understatement.
Hummus & baba ghanouj were quite edible, I just had nothing edible to eat them with.
Tabbouleh tastes like lime and nothing else. Gross.
Dolmas tasted ok, but they were stuffed with what tasted like soggy Mexican rice. Weird.
Pita is store bought, dry, too thick, NOT GOOD. I couldn’t even eat it with anything. It was like trying to chew and swallow a hummus flavored sponge from hell when I attempted to use it to eat hummus.
I can’t believe I paid $ 31 for this. Seriously. I was overcharged and argued with the cashier about it, but she had already run my credit card. And she didn’t give me a receipt. I am so hangry right now! Perhaps if I could have eaten this might have been a slightly less harsh review, but only slightly.
Do not go here, run far, far away!!!

I usually only come here for lunch since it’s near work, so this review is just based on that.
If you want the most bang for your buck, I highly recommend the lunch platter/​special. It consists of: choice of soup or salad, choice of meat (lamb, chicken, beef), and 3 sides. My platter was made up of the salad, chicken, rice, hummus, and steamed veggies. (See picture.)
The chicken was the star of the platter! It was juicy, tasty, and had a bit of a citrusy/​tangy kick to it. Next time, I’ll ask for less tzatziki, as it took away from the flavor of the chicken. Note: they drop a huge dollop of tzatziki on your meat. I mean… I love me some tzatziki and all but this was just too much. But hey if you love it THAT much, by all means go for it!
I just wish they didn’t drench my salad in their dressing :(Salad was pretty subpar as well – chopped iceberg lettuce, one slice of tomato, one slice of cucumber, red onions, and some feta cheese sprinkled on top of a heaping serving of their creamy yogurty dressing.
Sides:
Rice — tasted better than I had hoped – haha I mean that in the nicest way possible! The combination of mushrooms, peas, and carrots went well with the soft and flavorful rice.
Hummus — was underwhelming, tbh. nothing to rave about here.
Steamed veggies — were oversteamed and possibly just heated up from a frozen bag.
Overall, it was meh. It was definitely a lot of food to keep me full for the rest of the day, but quality was just lacking.
