Such helpful and authentic people. I have been going here and to their northern store for years. I am glad to see they are still keeping Austin fed. Great selection of items. Great spot for a quick lunch as well.

Marvelous love the staff and food best olives in town and prices cant be beat!

Great tasting food. Good mannered staff. My wife is more excited about it than I am and she is not from the middle east..that should speak volumes. She loves the humus and the falafel

A great Mediterranean grocery store. They also sell amazing sandwiches.

Zatar was tasty, but the sandwich I had chose did not have fresh meat or bread had to throw it away after the first bite. They were understaffed so wait times were long one a slow day. Lavash was only served refrigerated. Staff was friendly, but parking needs much improvement especially with our quickly growing population.

Still the greatest market in all of Austin. The baked treats are so delicious! And they are always so friendly. Great everything all around!

Nice family run business, small but packed with goodies. Sandwiches are tasty, will be back for more in the future.Parking is available outside along with a few tables and chairs if you want to eat next to south Lamar.This place has obviously been around for a while, possibly a good sign that its lasted the test of time...

Malek Jr. the owner is so helpful. With his beautiful, gentle smile and muscular thighs, he can direct me to the kafta any day. His bread is always so fluffy although the Armenian cheese is always the right texture... and whenever I put his a olives in my mouth, I remember the flavors of Beirut. Keep bringing smiles to your customers and im sure they will keep coming back.

Delicious fluffy falafel. The only thing I regret is I couldnt finish my falafel special.

Love this small Mediterranean bakery!People are friendly, service is fast, and prices are reasonable.The pita bread is super fresh, and very nice verity of olives, feta cheese, and deli meats.The place is small and cramped, but it is my one stop shop for anything Mediterranean/Middle eastern food needs.I recommend this bakery

Be careful! I used to buy a lot here. Last two times when opening the cous cous box it was full of warms. I realized it was due 2016!!! I came back and told the owner and the answer was: things happen! No, my dear. This shouldnt happen. You had 5 years to review the dates.

They have the best tabouli, baba ganoush, and baklava in town. Tons of groceries, made to order foods, pitas, etc.

Great store, you can get stuff here not easily found it Austin. Plus the make Sandwiches, Falafel and other good stuff.

This is the to go grocery store for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food in Austin. They bake their bread and cook prepared foods onsite. Their staff have an amazing memory, so you will be surprised when they ask you if youre going to buy something from your last visit. :)

I started eating here in 1990. Im not sure how long they have been here but they are still making delicious gyros and their warm cheese bread. If you want something different something like a traditional comfort food come here for freshness taste variety and a little bit of the world culture exploding in your mouth then go check it out!

I had the chicken sandwich (wrap) they were out of gyros. All I could taste was blue cheese and garlic. The outside seating (only seating) was filthy and the staff was ready to leave, they close early. Im not going back.

I love this place,the owner and her staff are the most humble people ive met. They have the best Becca bla,if this is how you say it .

Where i get Turkish coffee and olives. 😉 Great service.

I just discovered Phoenicia and I’m sad I didn’t sooner. This place is AMAZING. Food, service, everything is so good.Vegan options too. Picture of my veggie platter that I took in the middle of eating it. 🤣

Delicious baklava, kalamata olives, great salami and zatar bread.

Love this place!Yummy sandwiches and sweets 💕

Cure little corner store that has almost anything you need. Love going there!

Hostile cashiers. Also not halal.

Really friendly place work delicious homemade items and lots of variety.

Delicious eggplant sandwich and falafel.

I was about to make a dish from the United Arab Emirates and I needed a variety of seasonings. I did not have to go far because they had a canister of the exact pre mixed seasoning I needed.I really need to go here more often. Very friendly folks and good prices.

All your cravings for international foods are here. Great breads made in-house, delicate pastries, Italian cold cuts, teas and Yerba mate, chocolates and lots of regional foods from the world, all in a tiny store worth a regular visit. Cheese, dont forget to try the many varieties of feta and olives. Beware, parking is tight during busy hours.

Nicest people. Great middle eastern food selection and reasonable prices! Finally found the lavash I needed! Thank you!

This place is a hidden gem for Austin. From the outside it doesn’t look like much. Once you are inside you’ll see the authenticity of the Mediterranean market that has great homemade wraps served hot and bakery items. The flaffel are made from scratch and not a mass produced freezer section product. Don’t expect a lot of wasted space inside. Do expect great food operated by a great family packed into a small store. I’ll be back to try more.

Ive been a loyal customer at this place for decades. Great shop for anything middle eastern. But their bakery and sandwich counter are what stand out - amazing. Top notch gyros and shawarma. And I love supporting local businesses like this one.

Mmmmm special falafel sandwich with spicy sauce. And their tabouleh is great, not heavy on the grain. I pick up a lot of olives, dried fruit, Milka chocolate, etc. here as well. Nice folks.

Great place for quality saffron, rice and Persian / Iranian cooking staples. Great fresh baked goods like baklava. Staff is super friendly, especially Margaret, one of the owners. Support local places like this or they wont exist!

This place is always incredible! Love the food and the staff so much! My friend that passed from cancer use to take me here to get the chicken shawarma and everytime I make my way to Austin I always come here! Cant recommend this place enough!

Best baklava and fresh bread!

Amazing old world grocery store with the eastern Mediterranean cuisine covered, fresh bakery supplying Austin with pita... Also have prepared foods to go, like exotic sandwichesThe only source for fresh Feta from 5 countries and choices of olives from a dozen sources right from the barrelAgain amazing!!!

Little gem in this area. Their shawarma is super good. You can also get very good pita bread.

Amazing chicken shawarma & falafel sandwiches!!)/6actually more of a of a pitawrap. And they sell the pita wraps/sandwich bread, along with sweets like baklava. Great selection of different unique and ordinary grocery items. My ONLY one complaint is that there isnt one in my neck of the woods; but even still, I manage to get my phoenicia on!!! I have to drive south from Cedar Park 2x a month for doctor appointments & I always, always, ALWAYS, stop by the S. Lamar Phoenicia on the way back for some yummy lunch!!❤

All the Mediterranean ingredients you could want at a great value. Never change Phoenicia!

Yep.. Fav place of mine to get some Mediterranean goodies at great prices. Fresh made all right there. So good.

Love Love Love.Gyro sandwhichBakeryGroceriesCool selection

Amazing deli and ethnic grocery. Family owned and theyve been an Austin staple for EVER!

Greek bakery with specialty groceries homemade baklava and good prices on food to go the beef/lamb gyro was tasty!!

This is my favorite best kept secret of Austin.

The food is soooo good!

This little bakery/grocery store is a must for this little Mediterranean! They have great selection of groceries from the region, a lovely deli with plenty of cheeses, meats, and baked goods, AND they whip up sandwiches on the spot too! Highly recommend.

I love this place. The prepared food is always quality, they have a really great selection of food from all over and the staff are so nice

We love this little market. It has everything that we need from abroad. You can find food from middle east and also food from Eastern Europe. The prices are very good too. And the staff is very nice and helpful. Its located very conveniently near intersection of Menchaca and Lamar.

Beautiful locally owned small business. They bake and cook everything with Love

Great selection. Very authentic.

I love Phoenicia!!!! It is better then Central Market or Whole Foods!!! Friendly cashier...great sandwich, great brined olive selection, the only place you can find fresh green Almonds when in season. What more can I tell you? You need some out of the ordinary? Some Mediterranean specialty food? Ned some fresh baked breads? Need some Jared Good hard to find? Chocolate, cookies, spices, cheeses? And more...go to Phoenicia.

Has good selection

Great sandwiches on fresh baked rolls. Good assortment of goods tailored towards greek. Olives are fresh and delicious

Great gyros and baklava. Everyone who has ever been knows what I mean.Im worried that contributing with a positive review will only expose this underrated gem, but this business deserves a good review and you deserve to know about this amazing business.

I can find Everything for my meals!

Really cool place. Very eclectic.

I love this place! The worst part is that you cant take EVERYTHING. The people working there are friendly and helpful too!

Why buy hummus anywhere else?Great neighborhood mini market. Great people and selection of dry goods.Pita chips, pocket bread,cans baklava are on point!No need for a facelift, Phoenicia, youre perfect just the way you are!

Ordered 2 Gyros and they were delicious.

The little deli here was so good! I would definitely recommend going and getting one of their pita wraps! Nice little market and the people that work there are nice too.

Great service!

This place is awesome as are the people there. Good prepared food and many products that may be difficult to find elsewhere.

Absolutely amazing! Fantastic gyros, shawarma, and desserts. The plain baklava is the best. They have lots of handmade and prepackaged Mediterranean staples. Cant recommend highly enough.

Family staple for us. The fresh bread is amazing.

Best pita bread anywhere in Texas & Ive been to most of the bakeries in Dallas and Houston. The roasted chicken sandwich is amazing. Great selection of middle eastern groceries.

The cheese pie or as we spell it Mankouche is real tasty and good, even better than the meat pie ... the store is so tight with narrow isles and all it just annoys a 61 man with large shoulders

They have the best various baklava treats! I feel so welcomed when I first enter the place. They will begin to greet you much more personally when they see u come in again and again. I love seeing the older lady who might be the mom or grandma of the family there. It always makes me feel so happy when I enter to see the sweets to try out! Whenever Im feelin blue, all I have to do is enter the bakery and get something from there.Real reasonable prices for the desserts! Havent tried the gyros or anything but, Ill try it soon enough! One buck for a finger cashew?! Sure! It feels like they actually arent ripping us off. Quality >>>> so, keep it up. Glad I tried it out after seeing it for few weeks across the street where I work.

Very friendly, helpful, and reasonable prices

Classic Austin business still going strong. We enjoyed our deli lunch and picked up spices and pita for later. Staff was friendly. Parking is tight. The interior is well loved and crowded. If you are put off by that head to the Rosewood location which is newer and less loved.

You wont find everything ur looking for.

Im half Lebanese half Italian and I can tell you the stuff they make here is just like my mom use to make. Very delicious! If you are looking for an authentic flavor look no further.

This is a great place! One of the few remaining mom & pop places in Austin. I go in for all of my gyro accouterments. Lamb, tzatziki, flat bread and then Im home with a feast; DELICIOUS. They also have a large selection of European candies and other stuffs you cant find many other places, sort of a more authentic World Market. The staff know their stuff and are willing to help out with whatever you need.

This is a very special place. The hummus and pita bread are amazing. I always stop here before heading home for the holidays. Super authentic ingredients.

Really great spot. Friendly Good service!

Cool place to meet and catch up with coworkers. Ill return with my coworkers. The bill was fair I would say. They have a lot of good reviews for a reason.

Great authentic Lebanese deli sandwiches, pies, croissants, and the best imported olives.

Decent selection of goods such as: chestnut puree, cheeses and yogurts, pickled things, Turkish delight, sweets, jams and preserves. They have some good wraps from the little deli. They also have a decent bakery with baklava.

I Love, Love their EGGPLANT SANDWHICHES. EVERYDAY THEIR PARKING LOT & STORE ARE ALWAYS PACKED. PLEASE GO. ENJOY. DELISH.

Great food to take out or eat on premises oh, and great groceries for any Middle Eastern cuisine you like.

Ive been coming here since 2006 and It taste consistently fantastic. Ive ordered in English, Spanish, and Arabic here. They even tolerate my off the menu customizations. Need I say more!

This is a great place to stop in for a quick lunch. I always get a gyro and save room for baklava for dessert. Its also fun to take time to browse the shelves and see the unique international items they stock. One word of caution, check the expiration date before you buy as a few of the lesser in demand things seem to have sat there a while.I usually make a point to take home some of their homemade hummus and pitas every time I go.

I have been eating Shwarmas here for more than 25 years! I love the deli and picking up some other Mediterranean staples from the grocery store. the pastries are the best as well.

This is a really great find. I went here for lunch and had a really good sandwich. They have a small grocery section with some nique items. There is a large olive bar that is really good. The bakery is amazing and has a lot of fresh baked goods to choose from. I never knew this place existed and now its a favorite of mine. The people that work here are always happy and very nice.

Good down to Earth people very interesting place, good food

Delicious hot shawarma sandwiches. Lots more than just Greek products.

For the third time in 2 weeks I went to buy white breads, but the woman tells me they don’t have bread today !!!!!!!

The Roasted Chicken wrap was very good. Great bread. Extensive Olive Bar. Nive people. Lots of international goods for sale. Bakery with fresh pastries. Very friendly and helpful. Gotta go!

This place is amazing! Their gyros are so good! Highly recommend!

I love everything about this bakery. They run a little Mediterranean grocery store, serve pastries and olives, and offer some of the most delicious gyros and other Mediterranean plates! The ladies and gentleman there are very nice and I respect their honest prices.

Liked hope they can open same bakery up north in Austin

The cashier should be more friendly, the have a good quality products

Best chicken shawarma I’ve ever had. We go here for lunch at least once a week.

Nice place to meet and catch up with family. Looking forward to coming back with my coworkers. This place has a nice design.

Ive fallen in love with the baklava! This place is absolutely amazing. When you go dont be afraid to try new foods you cant go wrong!

Great customer service! We are regular customers so its nice to be greeted like family.

This is my all time favorite place to go eat with moeny its very affordable and it the most delicious food and deli. The meat and cheese wraps are my favorite and the most amazing tabouli! They even have a lot of imported sweets that i love so much. Perfection at its greatest.

Great place to go for fresh pita olives feta and all things Greek

My Favorite Foods and Pastries Always Here ! Love it ! A Treat Everytime Im in Austin, Tx !

Step into a mouthwatering selection of Mediterranean food, ingredients, sweets, etc...yum!!

I go out of my way to get the macaroons and lemon and coconut bars from Phonecia never a stale pastry they are the perfect example of the saying dont judge a book by its cover there are hundreds of bakeries with prettier buildings but their pastries cant hold a candle up against Phonecia!

Less grocery selection than the Burnet Road location but better service
