Shawarma info
Allen M.

Ok I never had Shawarma before and I heard this was the best. My daughter had chicken shawarma and I had the beef shawarma. Both of them were fantastic. We had wraps which were surprisingly long. Everything was fresh. We dined in and we saw 30-40 people, mostly take out, pass through the counter while we were there. Its a quite large place with all the prep behind the counter. The chicken and lamb "rolls" are on spits behind the prep counter. The cook slices from those to make a entree. I like gyros but this was a seasoned upgrade. The wrap is different from pita. I'll crave this until I come back. The place is a couple doors down from Hotel Indigo. Parking is on the street. Try it. I think the flavor is fun and unique.

This establishment offers lots of selections and from what I've seen in the reviews and what I experienced myself, the food is always fresh and delicious! The young man running the register was helping in giving information about the menu options. My son got the kofta wrap. It came with a generous portion of fries, and also a side of spicy mayo, aïoli... Perhaps. I got the famous chicken Shawarma bowl and man ph man that I love that! It was a generous portion that I was able to make into two meals so a great value as well. With a beautiful weather out, we decided to eat outside on one of the two picnic tables. While we were there, we had a few folks come up or walk by and ask for money, i don't personally mind that as I've had my share of struggles in life. but others may find it very uncomfortable. For this reason alone I'm not giving this review five stars. Of course there's the option to eat inside as well but location can make or break an establishment.

The food is absolutely AMAZING! Fresh and made to order! Staff is great as well. It was our first time here and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend 10/10! Can't wait to try more dishes!

Been having this place bookmarked to try for a while and got the opportunity to try it over the weekend friendly service and I didn't feel rushed I didn't know what to try so I went with the basic chicken shawarma wrap and I added lettuce the flavors are very bold I realized middle eastern & Mediterranean food is similar but the flavors are very different I didn't really enjoy the wrap but I'm eager to try something different parking is a hassle it the establishment is so cute great ambiance I saw a couple of families gathered together and I loved that my only complaint would be the wait time they didn't seem to be that busy in the restaurant but I waited over 20 minutes for my wrap I think they have a lot of pick up orders I suggest ordering ahead of you know what you're getting or be prepared to wait and be prepared to search for parking

Chicken Shawarma Bowl
Hassan G.

While on a road trip stopped in Birmingham for the night and came across this place online, decided to give it a try. and absolutely loved it, first off this is a nice clean restaurant, with a great ambiance, next the staff is very friendly, and now for the food, we ordered the Chicken Shawarma Bowl, Hawawshi and the Tenders. and honestly I can say the rice bowl was one of the best that I have ever had. the chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned, and the combination with the Rice, pickled veggies and sauces were just perfect. next we also enjoyed the hawawshi crispy crust with very flavorful beef. overall we enjoyed it

Kunafa with Cheese
Westyn R.

Me. Shwarma is an inviting place with plenty of solid options to choose from. We ordered two bowls and the cheese kunafa. The bowls were large and felt like I got a good value for what we paid. Everything in the bowl was delicious, and the addition of the pita chips inside were a nice touch for some extra crunch. The cheese kunafa was also really good. It was unique and I couldn't stop eating it. Love having this place in 5 points!

Sausage bowl

I have heard the best things about this place! I tried it for the first time last week after seeing a coworker order it and her food smelling so delicious! I ordered it the very next day! It is located in Five Points so parking can be a challenge, but it is so good and definitely worth the search for parking! The restaurant itself is beautiful and provides a nice fast casual atmosphere. There were a couple of things on the menu that intrigued me. I ended up going with the sausage bowl. Wow! Parts of the bowl reminded me of a bowl at Cava with the sauces, pickles, rice, and meat. But the flavors were so authentic and different from anything I have ever tried around here! The spices made everything so flavorful, I couldn't get enough of it! The portion size was just right to fill me up. Not too little, and not a ton of leftovers either. The rice, tahini, veggies, pickles, and hummus were all amazing! The sausage was not the best sausage I have had, the texture seemed a bit grainy to me. I tried some of my friend's chicken shawarma bowl. The chicken had some sort of flavor to it that I didn't love maybe parsley? So I will likely try the beef shawarma next time or do without the meat since the rest of the bowl was already a 10/10. They have signage that if you pay in cash, you will save money so I luckily I brought cash with me that day. I had actually left my phone on the counter there while I was paying, and drove off without it. I came back and the staff had it on the charger waiting for me! That is amazing customer service!

Beef shawarma wrap
Maryam S.

The food here is mind blowing. Everything is flavorful and the meat combined with the rice, salad, and sauces makes this a meal you want to keep eating even once you are full. The portions are large and filling. So far, we have tried the beef with hummus, the wings, the beef and fries bowl, the chicken shawarma bowl (my favorite), and the beef and chicken shawarma wraps. We also tried dessert here; we tried the kanafa and the banana pudding. The kanafa was okay something different to try but we really enjoyed the pudding, it is perfectly proportioned to share with another or eat all by yourself! The restaurant is located near UAB so it's a great place to grab lunch. The restaurant is an incredibly calm vibe, spacious with plenty of seating. The guys working there are helpful and pleasant as well. Will be going back!

It was solid and good. Most people at the catered event I attended on Eid liked it. For me it was a bit mild. I would have liked more spices on the meat and rice. Hot sauce was needed. Glad this option is here in Birmingham and halal. Akhi's by the way is not halal. If you keep zabiha please avoid that place. Plus the owner of that place seems rude.

Falafel Bowl
Priya N.

I am so glad to have found this place in Alabama! Mr.Shawarma is a great Mediterranean place with plentiful portions and very nice staff. I got to-go, however the food was really good! The chicken shawarma had a lot of meat and had a good portion. I wish that it was spicer and have a little touch of salt. The falafel was also very delicious. I cannot wait to try this place again and try other items from their menu!

Dj D.

The service and food were great! The flavors complimented each other well. The portion is large. It is a good value for the money. It's family friendly. Easy to order. There's something for everyone!

Chicken shawarma bowls
Emily C.

My friend and I had chicken shawarma bowls (One has pickles and one has tomatoes). It was so good!!! The garlic sauce on the top was amazing. I will definitely be back!

Max F.

I enjoyed the food. I was not impressed by it, and that's ok. Price is high, IMO. A few $ less, and I would eat there more often. Water only bottle, and ofc for a charge. Parking practically does not exist, but that's the whole area. Nice, wide, space. Feels clean and welcoming. A good option

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!

Gorkhali Chicken- Chicken and vegetables grilled to perfection! Slightly sautéed in a Nepali sauce and served with rice. Aloo Naan- I actually had no intention to order this. We ordered the aloo paratha, but after we ordered we were asked if we'd be okay with aloo naan instead. I would've ordered garlic naan instead, as the potato taste overpowered the naan. It was a very fluffy and fresh batch of naan, although not my personal favorite. Our server was SO sweet and made sure that we got to choose our spice levels for each dish. The menu has many South Asian dishes to choose from!

I hated it and didn't finish it. The meat tasted processed and the flavors were overwhelming. Nothing about tasted authentic or fresh. My chicken wasn't bad and the flavors from the grill were great, but unfortunately it was very dry and even though it was dark meat which cooks pretty fast, I assumed that this chicken was either pre-cooked earlier in the morning or the night before in order to be ready so quickly and cooked all the way through. I guess I shouldn't expect too much in an area such as this for Asian food since this is not a predominantly Asian area, but I was still hopeful. The people who work there were extremely nice and they worked very hard.
