I pretty much knew I wanted a bowl but I tried something different . So I tried the Turkish meatballs with Quinoa and grilled veggies. It was more like medallions than meatballs but they were good! Hubbie got the *new Tilapia plate w/Dill caper sauce. I stole it to put on mine lol. Delicious! The fish was seasoned well My son got the Spicy Harissa chicken sandwich. He said it wasnt hot but the boy loves eating anything that tastes like hellfire so. Take that as you will. We got hummus and pita chips. Good might be a little hard to some. We have good teeth so its all good lol Our app came fast and then our meal right after. All in all a pretty good experience except employees going in and out by the door by us. Its cold outside. Please be more considerate in the winter. So it hit everything I use to give a good review quick service, Good food, clean bathrooms, and nice employees . Will I keep coming of course! The Fast food nonsense Alabaster keeps adding insures this. It's healthy, delicious, and the way I eat at home! You are one of the few places in Alabaster that deserves a 5*

I live in Oregon, so this was my first time trying Taziki's. I got the Kypelos bowl with rice, and I was grateful to be able to customize to remove the dairy ingredients. Order pick-up was quick and easy, and I felt the prices were reasonable due to the animal proteins tasting fresh and well-seasoned. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered two additional times while my dad was in the hospital! I do wish there was an option to get the beef cut into smaller pieces, but that won't stop me from ordering again next time I'm in town. :)

The chicken was tender & very well seasoned. we thought the portion size was good for the price. Also, the service was excellent! The woman was very friendly. She accommodated my husband's dislike for carrots by suggesting zucchini only. My grilled veggies included carrots which grilled perfectly. We travel frequently between TN & FL but it was our First time there. We will definitely return. My husband read great reviews and we agree! Don't let the location, next to a gas station, deter you from enjoying delicious Mediterranean food!

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.

It's literally a cute little mom and pop restaurant, so I knew that it was gonna be good, and it was gonna be authentic. When you walk in, you order, pay then find somewhere to sit. I ordered the pastichio with green beans, and my guy ordered the grilled ribeye with Greek potatoes and green beans. He absolutely loved the steak, as he said he would because he had been there before. He was as happy as a kid in a candy store. My pastichio was authentic and flavorful but in a couple of places it had been heated up too high which caused the pasta to be extra hard and inedible. Not necessarily a deal breaker. In fact, I placed a to-go order for this same dish to eat tomorrow. The owner was very personable and came around to make sure we were good. The owner's son also offered to discard our paper plates and utensils. Don't go here looking for a fancy, date night restaurant. However, if you want some authentic, well seasoned Greek dishes, this is your place. I will definitely return when I'm in the mood for some delicious Greek food.
