Easily my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Birmingham. While all of the meat dishes are excellent, the veggies are what really shine here. I don't think I've had better falafel anywhere else, and the cucumber tomato salad is simple but delicious. If you're feeling bold, try the shakshuka. You can specify the heat level out of 10, and let me tell you--as someone who eats spicy food pretty much every day--the level 10 is challenging!

I recently dined at a Mediterranean restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with the food and overall experience. The flavors were exceptional, the dishes were perfectly seasoned, and the ingredients were fresh. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious Mediterranean meal.
