This is the second day of my visit with my daughter in Florence, AL. We went to a very highly rated bbq place and they were out of chicken and ribs at 12:55pm - always a sign of a great bbq place. So my daughter told me about this "newish" Greek place. Let me say, I measure places by their food and service. Don't come here for ambience - that's not happening, although they did have some great Greek music playing. I ordered the hummus with beef shawarma and wings. I asked for the buffalo sauce and he asked if I liked it hot, or HOT? I said give me the hottest you had. So he said that I would want the strawberry hot, so I took that. Wings were cooked well and the sauce was great - it's not HOT, it WAS good. The pita bread was soft and warm, and the hummus and beef shawarma was great. Really good olive oil drizzled on it, fresh parsley, and other garnishes. My daughter got the gyro on pita and it was really good. The tazhiki sauce was really good also. There were several other people eating when we were eating and they all said their food was on point. The owner brought out falafels for us to try, and they were the best I have ever had. One of the others that was eating said she used to work in a Greek restaurant about 25 years ago and that the falafels were the best she had ever had. Try this place out!! read more

See all

Not sure about this restaurant. The falafel was surprisingly lacking seasoning and the tzatziki tasted odd. Like it was sour cream instead of Greek yogurt based. I'd like to know if the gyro meat is cut from a spit or frozen. I think I know the answer but it would make a huge difference in my decision to try it again or not. read more

The food was delicious and will be going back next week. The service was good and the ambiance with the owners little boy was special.

Food is fresh always and authentic hummus is awesome the beef platter is my favorite so is the chicken and very fast delivery

Love Mediterranean food and Tum Tum's did not disappoint. My first time having a Turkish Chicken wrap and it was simple and delicious. Yesterday, I wanted a low carb option and went with the hummus and beef shawarma. Excellent! read more

The food was very tasty. We had the chicken and Turkish beef Shawarma sandwiches. For dessert we had the baklava. The employee was very polite and the restaurant was very clean. A limited menu, but I will go back. read more

Since Tum Tum's is a new Shoals Area business, we didn't know what to expect. Entering the building where only half of the tables had been installed lowered expectations, however the enthusiasm of our host and the quality of the food more than made up for our concerns. Everything was very tasty and other customers gave us a thumbs up for having found this restaurant they seem to love. Please check it out and let us know what you think! WmLeroyKennedy read more

Tum Tums Mediterranean - Beef Shawarma Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Florence, Alabama

They gave our order to someone else that came in afterwards. We ended up waiting 33 minutes to get my order. Since we had to wait they brought my husband and I a grape leaf each. I took one bite of it and had to spit it out. It was that bad. they brought out my husband's gyro and brought out my salad with it. I took one bite of my salad and the dressing that was on it tasted like Lysol. It was horrible as well. I guess I don't have a taste for Mediterranean. My husband finished his meal and as I was walking up to ask for a refund on mine they bring it out . My husband said that Arby's gyros are better. read more

Had for the first time today and man I was impressed. Guys inside are super cool and even allowed us to mix chicken and beef in the shawarma platter because we couldn't decide which we wanted. The platters were awesome and they got the food out really quick. Even though it's a Mediterranean place, don't sleep on the wings. The jumbo strawberry hot wings are awesome. Probably the best chicken wings in town. Can't wait to go back and try more. read more

A surprise find in Florence. Had the best beef and lamb gyros! Good Greek salad. The owner was great. The food was wonderful!

Portions are small. The food was bland. The ambiance is spacious, almost vacant. I was hoping for more from this new shop. Hopefully they will get into a better groove soon. read more

The best hummus in the area. Now you know where to go for it. Chicken shawarma is my go to meal here.

We love how clean and bright the restaurant was! We ordered Schwarma platters and stuffed grape leaf appetizers (never tried them before....Loved 'em!). The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was top-notch! We loved chatting with our host and felt instantly welcome when we went in. I highly recommend you swing by and try these guys out. You'll be so glad you did! (I'm going back for the Falafels and hummus this weekend) read more
