“The last Taziki's I visited was in Denver years ago so when I saw one on our most recent roadtrip route, we had to stop in! The food was delish and the hummus and pita chips were on point. So tasty!! My kabob platter was perfect and I love how fast everything is made. It makes it the perfect stop on a road trip. Quality food that's not fast food. Thank goodness!! Service was great and the vibe was comfy!“

“Take your tastebuds on a magical journey that will delight and thrill. This is as authentic as it gets for Greek cuisine in Alabama. There is most definitely truth in advertising as everything was indeed tasty. Since I couldn’t decide on what to order I instinctively went for a whole assortment of different flavor profiles. The baked chicken is the tell , if you go to a Greek restaurant and they don’t have a good baked chicken… walk out. This should be a staple on every single Greek menu. Seemingly innocuous but it is the cannery in the coal mine so to speak for what you can expect for the rest of the meal. It outperformed even my high expectations. Served with a grilled lemon to squeeze over the top it was perfectly salted and not over or under cooked. Our sides were the Greek fries (which were crispy in all the right ways, and a punch of saltiness from the cheese) I asked for some taziki sauce for the chicken but dipped my fries on it as well. Honestly I didn’t even dip the chicken in it because it tasted so good on its own I didn’t have to. I also feasted upon the spinach rice and tabouleh and both were opposites on the flavor spectrum one with warm savory spices that melted with the tomatoes and rice and the other bursting with fresh herbs and spring vegetables with Frekkah which is a roasted green wheat that adds such a wonderful texture and pleasant yet slightly nutty flavor. The orzo “Mac and cheese” is no ordinary Mac and cheese side, this Greek version of a classic dish had such an amazing mouth feel with some garlic and herb notes that just elevated it to the next level. And I’m going to end where we started which was with the appetizers. I can never get past the spanakopita (which is heavy on the dill just like I like it) But today I added in the garden humus which had fresh limas and asparagus with an array of herbs with a drizzle of olive oil… and that is just the topping, underneath laid a silky smooth hummus that was not grainy or bitter . The fresh pita sent me over the moon… I was in greek heaven. The chicken pita was like having all the freshness of the salads and the spot on roasted chicken all in one…. So you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I have yet to try something I absolutely didn’t love . We were so stuffed that we had to get the desserts to go but my god … if you haven’t been here you are missing out on one of the best restaurants Birmingham has to offer. It’s a hidden gem in plain sight.“
“This is a great family-owned restaurant. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The food is wonderful and a nice change of pace compared to all the food chains in the area. Food is freshly made and very flavorful. Highly recommended! You’ll love it!“

“Ya me habían recomendado ir a Red Sea, pero hasta la semana pasada pude verificar lo que me habían dicho. Qué comida tan tica la que preparan ahí, personas muy amables que explican cada plato y buena cantidad de comida, vale la pena visitarlos.“
“I had dinner tonight at Brock’s and the atmosphere is amazing. It’s very modern with an open kitchen. I got to sit at the chef’s table and was greeted by amazing servers and chefs. The focaccia bread was amazing and so flavorful and served with the house butter. I enjoyed the flatbread with rotisserie chicken, goat cheese, and grapes. I would highly recommend the flatbread. It was delicious with fresh ingredients and made in front of you in the kitchen. This is a perfect spot for a great dinner and to get away and relax from the busy day.“
“Went last night after being in the mood for some wings. Placed an order online, arrived and found out they were getting ready to close since their internet went down which would not allow them to be able to process any sort of payment. After showing the gentleman my order, he then went out of his way to prepare it just for us. While it was a small act of kindness, it really meant a lot. The wings were FRESH and perfectly sauced and seasoned. Will definitely be back. Would definitely recommend, this is one of the only good wing places in Hoover.“
“This was the best costumer experience ever. The owner runs the whole place by himself and you can see how much he puts into his business. The food was amazing, and he even gave us free ice cream after we ate. I’ll definitely be returning!!“
