    I've never had a bad meal at Taziki's. Their food is consistently fresh and tasty. I usually get the salmon feast, but everything I have tried is good. The chicken soup is a family favorite and I make it at home in lieu of chicken noodle.

    Ordered a large catering meal for a Christmas party. Everything was tasty and the food was hot. I enjoyed this meal and every one at the party did as well. Plenty of food when ordering for 10 or less ppl.

    So glad I found this gem! I walked in and was greeted by a friendly face. Was not sure what to order as they have a lot of great items on the menu. I ended up going with Greek salad with chicken and it was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the salad was crunchy. Everything is super fresh and the employees are very welcoming and friendly. Great hospitality! I would come back in a heartbeat! To the amazing lady who gave me travel/safety tips - Thank you ! I would definitely come back.

    I placed an order and selected a time to pick it up (I LOVE that time select feature vs "ASAP")... When I got there at the exact time I was supposed to pick up, my food was ready!! The cashier was very pleasant and had a smile. I noticed another attendant having an exchange with a regular customer meaning she established a rapport with her customers. I love it!! I had the chicken feast and I ordered a beef gyro for my friend. Both of us enjoyed our meals immensely. Taziki's has never disappointed on taste though... Love this spot!!

    I absolutely love coming to this Taziki's location! It’s always so lively, and the entire staff is exceptional. The store is impeccably clean, and the staff is incredibly attentive whenever you dine in. The food is consistently great and always served fresh. I particularly enjoy getting the salmon and lamb for lunch – both dishes are absolutely delicious! Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a sit-down meal, this Taziki’s never disappoints. Highly recommend!

    I personally love this specific location because it’s a great option when I want something healthy at work. It’s walking distance from UAB hospital downtown. Very nice and clean with consistently tasty meals. My fave is Taziki dip with soft pita (usually warm!!) If anyone ever asks me where I want to go grab lunch, the answer is always Tazikis!

    I had an amazing experience at Taziki’s. I ordered the chicken kabobs with pasta salad and fruit, and everything was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I also received spectacular service from Jailan at the register. She was quick, friendly, and very helpful. My order was completely correct, and the entire visit was smooth from start to finish. This is my favorite Taziki’s location, and I will definitely be coming back!
