My family and I dine here at least once a week, and each time, the food is consistently fresh and bursting with flavor. Despite being a busy spot, the restaurant is always neat and clean, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend Taziki's for a healthy, well-balanced meal that pleases the taste buds.

Let me first say that I usually LOVE Tazikis! My go to food is the veggie gyro with pasta salad and…read morerice. I decided to try a salad and mix it up. I got the Mediterranean salad and added lamb. The lamb was in three small pieces and very tough/chewy. I have had lamb at plenty other places and this is not the texture of lamb. The dressing for the salad was very small and was barely enough to cover the salad. The lettuce and veggies on the salad itself were fresh and tasty. I think more feta needed to be put on a salad of that size, but that's just my personal opinion. It came with only one pita chip. I could have swore when I was reading the description of the menu it said you got three pita chips? Either way, was a little disappointed. I did eat the salad, but none of the lamb after the first bite because it was hard to chew. My boyfriend got a lamb gyro and his lamb was shredded and said it was very good! May be they use different types on salads vs gyros? Next time I'll stick to my usual. Also think there should be more than Splenda sweetener options at the beverage station. Sweet n low or stevia would be nice. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean and employees were friendly!

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!!

We tried the Gyro, the Greek chicken plate, and the pork tenderloin kebab with Greek fries. The Guro was amazing! The Greek chicken was seasoned well and so is the rice. My daughter had the pork tenderloin kebab. She said it needed a little bit more flavor. The line of the food looked long, but it went by fast. Definitely a must try if you haven't been.

Excellent food! Amory(server) is awesome. Go see her on Saturday's. We love the Kibberead more

I was really excited to try this place because of the good reviews but it was such a letdown…read more When we walked in, there were maybe two other customers. We were seated pretty quickly but waited about 30 minutes before the server came back to give us menus. He appeared to be the only person working so I tried to cut him some slack but it was another 20-30 minutes before we were even able to place our order. They brought out salad appetizers, which were essentially just fresh-cut lettuce with no dressing or flavor. Our food finally came out after about 45 minutes of waiting. I ordered the Beef Kebob and my husband got the Lamb Mandi. The beef itself was flavorful and tender, but there were only about 4-5 small pieces sitting on top of a huge portion of rice. The rice was bland and dry. The lamb mandi also lacked flavor, and the lamb was very dry and bland as well. Overall, it was a pretty underwhelming experience.

I decided to try something completely new to me while on Green Springs, and I ended up at…read moreBirmingham's first and only Yemeni restaurant. Mandi Oasis is unassuming with a small sign right on Green Springs. I had no idea what to order, so I played it safe with Chicken Mandi and a side of naan bread. I had to get back to the office so I ordered to-go. Not even 10 minutes passed before I was walking out with a massive grocery bag of food. What a MASSIVE amount of food. I got a half chicken and a massive pile of rice with the chicken Mandi order. It also came with reshly ground house hot sauce that was spicy but not unbearable. Mostly fresh tomato with a slight jalapeno flavor. The chicken was very tender and juicy. Very lightly spiced, like a super mild baked chicken. It was really delicious. Salad didn't have any dressing and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I didn't eat it. It looked like it was iceberg and cucumbers. Maybe I was supposed to mix it into the rice? The RICE!!! OMG. Perfectly cooked very long grains of basmati were so flavorful with lots of exotic herbs and spices. I pulled out bay leaves and a cinnamon stick- like this is so good. Some of the best rice I've ever had!

Don't let the casual atmosphere fool you--this place serves some seriously good Mediterranean food…read more The restaurant is spotless, nicely decorated, and the staff was welcoming. It's counter service, so you order at the register and pick up your food when it's ready, making it a relaxed, no-frills experience. We ordered the lamb shank platter along with the lentil soup, and everything was outstanding. The lamb shank was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly, the rice was fragrant and packed with flavor, and the platter came with a generous assortment of hummus, tahini, yogurt sauce, and other accompaniments that made every bite different. The lentil soup was rich and comforting. It leaned a little heavier on the curry than I personally prefer, but that's simply a matter of taste--it was still delicious, and we finished every last spoonful. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Mediterranean food at a great price, this place is absolutely worth visiting. They don't serve alcohol, which is pretty typical for many Mediterranean restaurants, and honestly, the food is more than enough reason to go. I only wish more people would venture into places like this instead of sticking to the big chains. We'll definitely be back whenever we're in the Pelham area again.

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've driven by this place many times, and I finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the steak…read moreshawarma sandwich, baba ghanoug, and hummus. 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.

Upon arriving, I was pleasantly greeted by a gentleman at the counter. I placed my order, which was the chicken kabob entree, meat pie and water, and took a seat. I had my pick since I was the only customer at that time. The vibe was quaint and quiet, with music playing from their culture. Shortly after I sat down, the meat pie was brought out along with something like a toasted naan I think. The meat pie was really, really good. The irony is that I ordered it after reading another Yelper stating how good it was. I don't even know what type of meat it was. Lol! My entree came out looking just like the photos I had seen online. The tomato, cucumber and onion salad was very flavorful and fresh and I almost want to try my hand at making it at home....its just that good. The chicken was moist, tender and marinated well. Everything was freshly prepared and hot when I received it and I could tell it was made with love. I had enough food to take half to work for lunch tomorrow. My total was around $27.00 and it was worth every penny. I'm on a quest to try out all of the Mediterranean and Persian restaurants in the area. Taboon Noon o Kabab is right up there as one of the best. Try them out...your taste buds will thank you. Happy eating!
