19 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Birmingham

“Great breakfast buffet that was very expensive but convenient if you are staying in the hotel. Everything was fresh and they had someone at a station making omelets and would bring it to your table if you didn’t want to wait for them to prepare it. Overall the breakfast buffet was good.

The staff was very friendly. We even came here at the end of our day for desert and enjoyed the restaurant that had a modern look and was quiet and relaxing.“

“We're not huge fans of Greek food, but we tried Tasty Town, mainly for convenience. We had planned a very packed day of sight-seeing in Birmingham on a Saturday. It seemed that hardly any eatery would be open and there wasn't time allowance to drive out of the downtown area, without being late for the next activity. Thus, we settled on a mid-afternoon lunch/dinner at Tasty Town. Honestly, both of us thought it was better than we had anticipated and the service and location were top notch. Thanks, Tasty Town! Thanks for being there, and thanks for being so good.“

“Nice restaurant. It’s my first time ever ordering from you all. I placed a To go order and my food was ready upon pick up! I can literally eat a whole plate of that rice by itself, it was so good and seasoned, and the chicken was tender too. I will be coming back again.“

“We have been using pickup of late and it is so easy to use the app! The food is ready on time and delivered out to the car. We love Taziki’s!“

“Great food, service, and experience. Will definitely return. Very clean and you are in and out quick.“

“UAB location is awesome. I have visited this located several times and always clean, friendly, and food always good. I normally do online order and my order always ready when I arrive. I ate there with my mother once and it was nice and pleasant. We sat outside on the patio.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“I had a great first experience. Kayla was Awesome! I was about to let the third person go ahead of me because I didn't know how or what to order. Kayla encouraged me to go ahead and order that she would assist me. She was patient and guided me in creating a chef kiss bowl that was wonderful!! She gave me a "My pleasure" experience. I will definitely be back, thanks Kayla!“

“Been going for 20+ years. Awesome food and service! Highly recommend.“

“I always play it safe with the grilled chicken I’m so glad Jose let me try the meatballs because OMG new fav! Would have never tried it otherwise cause I never tried lamb before. Love the sampling aspect! Good music in the store too!

“I am so happy that Zoes Kitchen BHM is back! All of the original menu items are available. Had lunch there this week and enjoyed the Grilled Chicken Pita with Slaw and extra slaw for my side—thought I had died and gone to Heaven!“

“Had seen Cava all over the place and finally tried it out. What a great Mediterranean upscale fast food place! Ordered takeout for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Soonest pickup option was 15 minutes, and it was ready to pick up when we arrived righ on time. Nice airy dining room at this location and a lovely patio, too.

Ordered a Steak + Harissa Bowl (w/ free pita) and a Spicy Chicken + Avocado pita wrap. They were both great! Good flavor in all the seasonings, tender steak, plenty of avocado on the wrap. Pitas were thick and good quality. A little pricy, but you do get a fair amount. Looking forward to trying their specialty drinks next time!“

“The atmosphere is so good and the food is great. Found a new place to frequent“

“This place is amazing. They have the best vinaigrette I've ever had. We had the grilled shrimp and chicken. Both were so good.“

“Great halal restaurant right next to UAB’s campus!“

“I had the Ahki’s 2 Meat Large Platter with chicken and lamb over rice, and it was fantastic! The meats were tender and flavorful, perfectly paired with the White Magic and Spicy Don't Play With Me sauces. The White Magic added a creamy, tangy touch, while the Spicy sauce brought just the right amount of heat. The portion size was generous, and every bite was delicious. The service was great, and the flavors were on point. Highly recommend Ahki’s for an unforgettable meal!“

“Red Sea is the Ultimate Dining Experience, I have been a Loyal Customer for years. In my humble Opinion, with the Ultimate Gumbo Alone, there is no comparison nowhere in the B’ham/Metro area!!! Sunday I took my Mother and Sisters here for Dinner after Church, and they were very Impressed. The Food was Delicious “As always”and the Service was Impeccable. Whenever I’m asked of friends and Family Or Co- workers of a Good Place to enjoy a meal RED SEA is the Place I will always Highly Recommend. Chef “B” and Staff are Awesome!!!“

“Look this was never even supposed to end up being a review which is why you'll notice that all the food has been dug into lol. So a bit of back story I went to this restaurant quite a few years ago and my first experience was kind of meh. The burger was okay at best, the fries were extremely salty, and the lemonade was watered down. This place is called Gyros Cafe. Now about a month ago on a Friday just like today I was scrolling through Door Dash (I'm still boycotting Uber Eats) looking for something different to try and enjoy my Friday night (Disclaimer I did not eat all this in one sitting this was a meal I split for 2 days lol). Well I came across them and decided it's been a very long time since I've had them let's give them another try. So I did! Yall look here I sampled everything while it was hot and yes everything showed up piping hot. The bacon Cheeseburger was amazing flavors balanced cooked just right like honestly no notes. 9/10 The wings were shockingly good. At first glance you think oh overcooked. But they weren't! They were seasoned well with a great crunch and the ranch was killer! 8/10 I'm sure the mozzarella sticks are just frozen but idk what brand they use or they may actually make them fresh. Either way they were so good and everything I look for in a good mozzarella stick. The marinara sauce was pretty good too! 9/10 Lastly the seasoned cheese fries. Guys they weren't salty at all this time. Cheese could have been a bit better but it still gets a really good score of a 7.9/10 I highly recommend you go try Gyros Cafe in Chalkville/Trussville area. Whatever they have done from then to now they have done a complete 180 and whoever is in charge and working in that kitchen are doing a great job. Not gonna lie I want to order this again right now lol!“

“Love this place! My favorite place to eat in Trussville. Service, food, price have always been wonderful!“
