Lakeway Market & Deli — Local services in Lakeway

We've lived in the area for over 12 years. A friend mentioned Lakeway Market and Deli for lunches to go. We were a little suspicious since we always drive up to North Austin for fairly priced, tasty international fare. About a month ago we decided to give LM&D a try. Wow, just WOW! They have a chef in charge of the boxed lunches and he does a great job with a good variety of choices and quality (and a friendly smile). Most lunches come with a protein and two vegetables, plus rice and tortillas. The other two cooks are in charge of the salad choices , and both Mediterranean and Indian foods. We tried those too and they are really, really good. What are the chances? We figure that there are several stars lined up: good management, excellent cooks and fresh, tasty food which is always replenished since the place is pretty busy during lunch hours. Give them a try and we guaranty you will not be disappointed. While there, make sure to say hi to the chef. Kudos. 11/13/21 Discovered that on Fridays they offer a delicious version of chicken biryani....

I think 3 stars is fair and even generous, considering some of the issues this establishment has and the rude, unhelpful and dismissive attitude that i have consistently recieved over the years everytime i have a simple question about their menu. Perhaps i am not enough of a regular for them to care. Also, there's an issue with cleanliness. I wouldnt mind the dirty floors and dusty corners if this was a simple Convenience Store, but its not and the fact that its such a small space with a kitchen makes this an even more serious issue. Finally, theres expired and damaged items for sale and they refuse returns. So 2 of the 3 issues here are borderline illegal. On a positive note, the food dishes are very delicious and reasonably priced so if you dont have any questions and know exactly what you want then this is an option i guess, but if theres an issue with food or service dont expect them to refund you or even care to make it right. Infact youll be lucky if they dont get defensive and...

This little market is really something special. We love to make any excuse to pop in when we’re in the area.

This morning I had finally ordered something from the back deli. They have full Mediterranean and Indian food menus, as well as steaks and all sorts of other stuff. I ordered a Gyro wrap, simple as-is (lamb.)

It was 10:20 in the morning, and I think they hadn’t quite fired up the spinning cooker for lunch, but the guy asked me to wait just a few and he cooked up the meat on the flat top grill. It was one of the best Gyros I have had in recent memory, so good!!

They also sell the “everything bagel” fire hook crackers, which when combined with simple cream cheese as a dip, is one of our next level snack combos. I’ve only found these everything flavor fire hooks at this market, and Central...
