About this business
Phara's is simply a gem in the rough. If you want to try something new or rather different from the usual American cuisine, then Phara's is waiting just for you. An ambiance with a mild touch of the east, this restaurant has comfy seating arrangements. The food here is quite delicious and scrumptious, and one may find it a little spicy. Next comes the shisha/hookahs available, which are attended by the staff regularly to refill the water and change the coal. Moreover, for your entertainment, there are belly-dancers who are s... read more

We felt robbed – This was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in 50 years. We were given take-out menus as they were out of proper menus for some reason. Our meal took over an hour to arrive after our order. Sauces were not brought with our meals. We were avoided by our waiter who gave one appology during that one hour wait. I finally walked up to a woman who seemed to be in charge and asked if it was usual for people to wait one hour for 3 meals and was told that it was due to a large party in the back. We waited... read more
I love Phara's! – This is one of my favorite places! The staff is incredibly accommodating. The food is WONDERFUL - especially Tenzin's Famous Aloo Channa & the Beef La Zeez; I get it every time. There are a few other bellydancers, but Phara herself will sometimes bellydance for you ~ She is wonderful & so is her beautiful story about her late son Christopher who is the name-sake for the Casbah. The entire place from inside out is like a mini cultural vacation. So, bring your own wine or beer (which saves youy $), and simply... read more
So good – Lamb! order it here. Yummy and they have belly dancers. Can be kinda awkward at times but they are great at shaking it.
Happy! – Nice place, had a wonderful dinner last night!
Amazing food & prices! – Phara's had excellent food and service and we even met Phara herself. A very gracious, kind-hearted business woman. The huge outdoor area was beautiful
True Austin – Phara's is trip, real time travel back to orginal weridness that was Austin before we were so impressed with our ourselves. My wife and I own a bed and breakfast nearby and when we have guests who want to know Austin's true weirdness, we send them to Phara's I love the menu especially the Chicken La Zees (sp ?) Phara could make so much more money if she had sold alcohol but having to bring your own is part of the charm
Just OK – Food was good and our server really nice. However I thought it was a little overpriced for what we got. My Aloo Chana was basically a cup of soup with cheakpeas and 2/3 tablespoons of white rice on the side. It set me back 15 dollars and I left hungry...
Great atmosphere, good food – I went there on a Saturday night and they had a belly dancer who performed throughout the night. I had the lamb shank which was delicious, followed by dessert and a hookah. The service was great, the entertainment was fun and their byob policy makes this restaurant a great deal and a fantastic experience.
New Austin Favorite – I've been wanting to try Phara's Mediterranean Cuisine for some time and had the pleasure of doing just that Friday night. Six of my friends and family had a lovely dinner and a great time. We got there around 8pm and were seated right away. The dining room is small but intimate - great place for a date or small dinner party. We got an appetizer that was sort of a sampler which was a great choice if you have never had Mediterranean food. Phara's is BYOB (with a small corking fee) so we brought a few bot... read more
