Definitely give this place a try if you want something authentic to what they have in Israel.

It's only ten bucks and you get pita bread, tzatziki sauce, gyro meat, rice, and a salad in a pita bowl with onions, mushrooms, tomato and a wonderful vinaigrette. While I must admit that I think the gyro meat is a little too soft, I come here because the ingredients are fresh and because the sauces and the salad are really good. Do not forget to get a bag of the fresh pita chips. They are only a little over a dollar and are so amazing that you will ask yourself why didn't you get two or three more bags. Sometimes they take a while to answer the phone so be patient or call back.

I liked the baba ghanoug and hummus, both of which seemed fresh, but I did not like the steak shawarma sandwich. The ingredients just didn't seem fresh. The steak was quite tough and chewy, and it didn't have a good taste. I wasn't sure what to think of the vegetables in the wrap. The pita wrap itself was a little dried out and, thus, on the tough and chewy side. I'm willing to give this place another shot and order something else only because hole-in-the-wall ethnic food places are my specialty.

We had same lamb kabob amicable salad. Love it? Tried fried cauliflower app. I loved it but hubby did not. It had great spicy sauce and nice tomato slices. Place is tiny and gets noisy so go early.

It was a breeze to get to the free parking lot , walk a block or so to get right to it! For the first time , I went over by the tent area since it wasnt layered with people. There's GFF merch, dessert, coffee, ice cream, wine & beer. Last but not least, there were pork kabobs and fries. OMG!!! The pork kabobs and fries were a nice little switch up from what I usually order. And SO good!!! I also had a beer ( of course) created by straight to ale specifically for the festival. I couldn't leave without getting some desserts and a Greek chicken meal to go. Coming on the first day was so relaxed and calm. No line , no waiting. The volunteers were ready to serve!!!! Hope yall attend and enjoy the 52nd annual GFF!!

While searching for a vegetarian restaurant in the Birmingham area, Al's Deli & Grill popped up, so…read moreI gave it a try. Al's is right by UAB's campus and serves American and Mediterranean food. Their exterior is nice in theory, with a fountain and a pretty fence, but it needs some cleaning up. Their parking lot could also be better. It's a small lot hidden behind the building with some potholes and invisible parking lines. The interior is quite small, but they still have enough seating. I came in with the intention of trying a vegan menu item, but I was informed by a kind man working behind the desk that he wasn't sure what they had that was vegan. He asked another employee if they had falafel at the moment, but they didn't. He was very helpful, but I was still disappointed that they didn't have falafel since I've tried it before and enjoyed it. I continued to look at the menu and finally decided on the veggie burger. The price was nine dollars and some change, which was baffling to me as I only ordered the burger and nothing else. I only had to wait a couple of minutes for my order, and I took it to go. The burger was packaged with care, large in size, and had plenty of toppings. The burger tasted good and didn't have that weird taste that some vegetarian meat patties have. I really enjoyed the bun of the burger in particular since it was really soft, not soggy, and had lots of sesame seeds. The veggie burger is a pretty good vegetarian option on their menu!

This review is specifically for the catered/box lunches we recently enjoyed from Tasty Town…read more Each lunch was boxed separately and included the silverware packet. That's a huge plus; the number of times I've seen referees having to pass on the side because they didn't have utensils! The entree was a chicken pita. It did have a few fresh onions, but I enjoyed them since I didn't have to be the one dragon breathing around the field all day. We did have a choice of roasted potatoes or basmati rice. The potatoes went much quicker than the rice; I had the potatoes and they were fantastic. There was also a tray of chocolate chip cookies provided. I don't think they were frash made; they looked similar to other restaurants generic chocolate chip cookies. They were a nice addition to the lunch, though. They also provided sweet and unsweet tea in gallon jugs.

They also brought a large side box of chocolate chip cookies that were individually wrapped. Everyone loved the wraps, though the fresh onions were a little rough on some of us. Others took heed and removed a couple so their afternoon running up and down the field wasn't filled with regret. The potatoes were a hit; wish I could get them again.
