BU JADOH — Restaurant in Austin

Was visiting Austin and wanted to try something new and support a small business. Had the pleasure of talking with Jadoh when I arrived as he was working on new menu ideas during some downtime. He passionately described what his business means to him, what he wants his food to represent, and what he wants his customers to experience. After hearing his passion, I decided to order a little of everything.

Ordered the Chicken Franshisko, Chicken Shawarma, Falafel Wrap, Steak Fries, and a Shake. Upon paying, I wanted to tip him well as he was very helpful. He actually offered to not accept the tip as it was larger than he expected. That kindness and humility is unheard of and an example of how much he appreciates his customers. While waiting for my food, he even brought out a few fresh falafels for me to try and enjoy while waiting. After about 10-15 minutes, he carefully reviewed and verified my order before giving it to me.

It was a cold night, so took it to go. All the food was carefully prepared, packed, looked great, and smelled amazing. The food tasted just as great as it looked. The Franshisko was full of flavor wrapped around bread that was very soft. Chicken Shawarma had a nice crisp on the outside and full of fresh, complementing flavors on the inside. The Falafel wrap had a lot of ingredients, but you could still taste how good the Falafel was. The Steak Fries were very good and had me thinking I should've also ordered the Cheesesteak as the meat was very juicy and flavorful. Lastly, it all went down well with the fresh shakes he made.

Both the customer service and food were amazing. His passion for his food and business were very apparent. I will definitely come back to try some more menu items and some of the new items he talked about adding in the...

First off the guy that was there was amazing on customer service, taking the time to explain about the food and given detailed explanation from texture and what's on the food.

This place has always been under my radar as I pass this place seven times a week, on Saturday afternoon I decided to try it and I was ecstatic with my meal. Never try Syrian food but this definitely made me want to try even more traditional Syrian dishes. The 1907 Chicken shawara was packed with flavor as the chicken was tender and seasoned well as I could eat the chicken by itself thus being content, but wrapped up with that pink sauce just hit out the park. The cheese fries was my favorite as its definitely a comfort food in itself also very filling let alone. The atx cheese steak was meh even with the pink sauce. It just fell flat and the meat alone didn't hold much flavor and comparing it between the fries As well the sandwich, it felt like these two dishes came from different places. But the other thing I noticed that the meat was frozen for the Philly, I thought it would have been fresh. The big take away is customer service that's amazing and wonderful food that's halal, can't wait to see what else is added to the...

Let me share a scenario with you — you’re in Austin and you’re absolutely starving for some good food, you’re sick of all the high priced hipster spots that will charge you 20$ for a taco and you’re looking for something out of the ordinary.

Well boys and girls, have I got the spot for you. Slide on down to Bu Jadoh, this place is humble and you’ll definitely miss it the first time around but it is damn worth it when you see the tree-shaded food truck. Tasting the shawarma with the best garlic sauce(white sauce) in Austin will instantly transport you to the old days of the streets of Damascus, the pomegranate sauce is nothing to sleep on either it reminds you of days of the old Persia all with beautifully wrapped and packaged food to compliment it with each item saying enjoy before you bite in. And believe me you will surely enjoy this meal. In the grand scheme of things, if you’re looking for a good meal with that hits you like your mothers cooking, I highly recommend it. 5/5 bravo to the...
