19 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Birmingham

“Unique menu with offerings that tickle the taste buts in a Lebanese cuisine perspective that is truly fabulous. I had the sea bass, and the chocolate torte. Best ever! I highly recommend this restaurant that often gets assumed as being more upscale than they intended. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this wonderful dining experience.“

“My experience at this location is always great ! I do a lot of carry outs and the cashiers are always nice and friendly. I like to give kuddos to one worker in particular. A young man by the name of Nick. Nick exemplified great concern and customer service experience. Thank you Nick for your act of kindness! Barbie“

“We had a phenomenal dinner at Brock’s. Huge shoutout to Chef Mark and our server, Diamond!!

Almost as soon as we were seated, the manager came over to talk to me about my dietary restriction. He explained that Chef Mark had seen the note on my reservation that I can’t have added salt and had already taken it into consideration. What really blew me away was that they actually went out of their way to prepare a special potato au gratin for me with no added salt. That kind of thoughtfulness and attention is so rare, and it meant more to me than they probably realized.

Chef Mark is truly AMAZING. My filet mignon was cooked absolutely perfectly. It was incredibly tender, flavorful, and honestly one of the best steaks I’ve had, even without added salt. The asparagus was also cooked perfectly, and the special potatoes were unbelievably delicious. It takes a truly talented chef to make food taste that good while working around a restriction, and Chef Mark absolutely nailed it.

And then there was Diamond, who made the whole experience even better. She was fantastic! She was attentive, funny, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She took the time to give us detailed descriptions of different dishes and told us which ones were her personal favorites, which we absolutely love when a server does. It made the experience feel much more personal rather than just ordering off a menu.

Between Chef Mark’s incredible care and talent, Diamond’s wonderful service, and the manager making a point to personally check in with us, we felt genuinely taken care of from the moment we sat down. Brock’s should be very proud of this team. We will absolutely be back!“

“Always have a great experience at Taziki’s Mediterranean in Trussville. The tomato basil soup with Greek salad was awesome!! Service is outstanding!! Highly recommend!!“

“Faith was great and made our experience incredible. Both my mom and I have severe food allergies, and they take it very seriously. Faith went out of her way to change her gloves and make sure there was no cross contamination. We go there at least weekly because we know it's a safe environment to eat without a reaction. Thank you!“

“Today was my first visit..the freshness of the food and the environment was great. I got a bowl (chicken & steak). The steak was too tough for my liking. However, the flavors in the bowl made.me just put it to the side. Next time I'll stick with chicken and ill have to try the glazed salmon. I will be back.“

“Thank goodness Zozo’s is back in Homewood!!!! The food as just as nostalgic and delicious as the original Zoe’s. Everyone is kind and accommodating. The restaurant esthetics are fab and the cleanliness is superb. It has been a weekly staple in our house. We cannot get enough!!“

“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!“

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