The Kebab Shop, a family-owned fast-casual chain in California, is planning to open its first Austin location in mid-August near The Arboretum.

Marketing Director Wally Sadat said the company's mission is to serve Mediterranean food that everyone can enjoy. The menu will offer customers the choice of creating their own wrap, box or plate with doner meat, which is cooked on a vertical rotisserie, or falafel. Doner kebabs are popular in Europe, Sadat said, and The Kebab Shop's take on them includes Greek, Persian and Turkish flavors.

Other options include saffron rice and doner fries topped with meat, pickled onions, garlic yogurt, feta cheese and mint.

The Austin location will be The Kebab Shop's 15th store and will be located at 9761 Great Hills Trail. Sadat said the company has more locations planned for the Austin area.
