When visiting birmingham i like to stop at this cafe. Very unassuming but the food is consistent and prices fairly. Each time i go the flavor profile for the gyro entree and presentation is the same. It’s quite filling and tasty! The salad is always fresh and well prepared. I really enjoy the grilled tilapia entree. The onion and mushroom toppings work really well with the flavor of the fish. The rice is also cooked very well. The hummus is worthy of taking a dish to go!!! Highly recommend this gem. I will say also that i have eaten at similar restaurants in homewood and alabaster. I find them overpriced and the food is not as flavorful.

This was our first time here. It was delicious. We ate a late lunch so it wasn’t crowded. There was plenty of places to sit, inside and out. The stuffed grapes leaves were amazing. My husband got a gyro wrap and I had a mushroom Swiss burger. Yummy! Fries were hot… highly recommend. 🙌🎉

Passing through the area and thought I'd try this place. They have a wide variety on their menu. I ordered the Gyro plate. Didn't have a clue what I was gonna get. It was nice and tasty.

Disappointed 😞. Ordered the lunch special gyro. My tiny onion was dried out. Poor cherry tomato would have felt alone but had plenty of company being mixed up with the rice and salad because the girl behind the counter was too busy goofing off with kitchen staff to pay attention to my bag. Flavor: meat a bit dry and sliced too think, salad dressing a little too much vinegar for my taste (and I love vinegar), wild rice was excellent. Great mint tea option and baklava was perfect. Overall, think if staff cared more- this could have been a great meal but was ruined by distracted, uncaring staff. I recommend dine in only the. Box yourself if you want it to go.
After reading other recent reviews, seems all are in agreement. Suggest owner change to drink hut and stop selling food. Many good reviews about drinks but consistent complaints on food due to staff. Other options are to pay for experienced staff and stop hiring kids
