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

amazing food, amazing service, awesome birthday party...i love it! – i chose phara's for my birthday party in the end of july after a very long search for the perfect bohemian location. as soon as i saw the cute, funky outdoor space at phara's i knew i had found the place! we used the hookah lounge which phara and her staff set up with low seating and some regular tables as well. our guests ranged from 18 to 88 in age (around 40 total), so we had something for everyone! phara also decorated the tables with fresh flowers and ... read more
All Around Great Restaurant! – Service was great, food was delicious (the lamb shank is AMAZING, it basically falls off the bone when you pick it up). The vegetarian appetizer's had a lot of character and flavor too! We got to bring in our own drinks for a reasonable ($3/person) coking fee, and there was live belly dancing! I highly reccomend this place!
Hidden Paradise! – Here I was minding my own business while my girlfriend was shopping (the usual), when I stumbled across Phara's in this funky little bend in North Loop. I had no idea that Phara's was a restaurant and I was standing right in front of it?! I thought it was just another chick-shop until I peeked in the window. When we first walked in it didn't look like much - only 8 tables. But then the host gave us the grand tour through this huge, sweet backyard area that includes a HOOKAH lounge!! Then there's the belly ... read more
North Loop Mediterranean spot fuels date night with BYOB and live belly dancing. – In Short Owned by a former local belly dancer (Phara), expect an updated, more elegant space that still manages to maintain its north Austin character. The menu is Middle Eastern with family-style appetizers including hummus, baba ghanoush and tzatziki served with fresh pita bread for scooping. Standout entrees include a generous lamb shank, beef tenderloin, grilled salmon, and beef or chicken kabobs sided by an order of the fruit-studded rice... read more
Enchanting weekend dining experience – Not much more I can add to these glowing reviews. I tried this restaurant on Saturday night and had one of the most memorable Austin dining experiences. Attentive host and waitstaff, wide menu selection, good prices, and really tasty food expertly presented. This is probably the best hummus I have ever tried. Romantic and quaint interior, with a huge outdoor patio in the rear that boasts a hookah lounge, live music and bellydancers. Of course, you can always sit inside for a quiet conve... read more
Best Mediterranean Cuisine in Central Texas – Phara's keeps getting better and better. Some friends of our happened along this restaurant a few days after it opened and we went a few days later on their recommendation. The staff was still catching their stride, but the food was outstanding. We have been back twice since then and the food has improved from its already lofty level and the service has risen to the high standard of our meal. We have tried each of the appetizers (they are all wonderful) and the lamb shanks are no... read more
DELICIOUS – No offense to the previous reviews, but it is not necessary or fair to compare Phara?s to Ararat. Yes, it is in the same location and it is also a Middle Eastern restaurant. But, it is a different owner with a different menu and frankly, it deserves a chance to shine all by itself (which I think everyone will agree it does once they try it). As for Ararat, it was so much more than just a restaurant for the Austin community and I will forever miss it. Now onto the review. The food is fantastic! I went with a group... read more
Very good food and service – We arrived early, about 15 minutes before opening, but they were super accommodating. The service was very good. We both had the mezze plate (tabouli, hummus, baba ganoush, dolmas and pita) The food was excellent. I don't quite get the 'Fine Dining' part of the restaurant's name. I didn't see anything on the menu that was beyond the usual. Don't get me wrong though, the food was well prepared. The only thing I truly missed was no falafel on the menu. I love falafel...
Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful music! – My husband and I went to Phara's first on Saturday last weekend, then we went back again on Wednesday. The atmosphere is so friendly, and Phara greets all of her customers personally, and is truly concerned with whether or not they are happy. We've been to a lot of Middle Eastern restaurants, because that's what we like to eat when we go out, and the food at Phara's is delicious. I had the beef kebab, and he had the chicken kebab. It was seasoned and grilled and very tender, served wi... read more
