Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Taziki's frustrates me. Good atmosphere and location, and I really want to like it. I was excited when it first opened, but that's fizzled. There's a lot of potential it just doesn't live up to. Here's what I mean-- -As another reviewer notes, there are several other places in Tuscaloosa to get a gyro, and at much better prices. Tazikis is a little on the pricey side for what you get. -I wish they had spanikopita. I wish they had falafel. I wish their sandwiches were less oily. But I understand that it's a chain and there's only so much control they have over the menu, I guess. (The salads *are* really good, although they could be more substantial for a $9 salad.) -They used to have a really good grilled shrimp salad and now they don't. They replaced it with a grilled shrimp dinner, which has shrimp and a small side salad and white rice. (Does anybody actually like just a bed of white rice?) Basically, this dish is the same price as the salad, but with rice filler thrown in to replace some of the salad. Not a fan of that. -The service was pretty good when it first opened, but after a few rude or just weird encounters with the cashiers and food pick up, we've kind of just forgotten about it and dropped it from our radar. For example-- Once after the cashier ran my card and handed it to me, she didn't say anything. Not "please sign your receipt," not "do you need a receipt?" not "thanks and have a good day," not "your order will be up soon," not "you can pick it up at the next window when it's ready." It was bizarre. She just stood there looking kind of sullen and, I guess, waiting for the next customer. I said, "is that it?" and she looked at me like I was crazy. Another time we ordered pick up, my husband went in, paid, and then had to MAKE the person go back and get his food. Apparently after taking payment, she just stood there like a lump. (Same cashier?) Also, when you call in an order for pick up and you want dessert, you have to grab it off the counter yourself! If you don't do this, you won't get your dessert. They don't put it in the bag for you. I don't have a problem with putting the dessert into the bag myself; it's just that since this isn't really standard practice in most restaurants, I forget to do it. Anyway, there's not one particular glaring problem, or one particular glaring thing that's great. It's just OK. UPDATE!!: There's a new manager! And she just left me a really kind note on here! And they apparently *do* have my shrimp salad now! So we may try them again after all...

    Like here~I forgot to take the pictures of our food. My order was grilled chicken roll-up and the choice of my friend was roasted chicken salad. Both tasted good~

    Very clean restaurant including the bathrooms. Paper towels, so that will keep the funk away as you turn off the faucet and open the bathroom door. I had the pork sandwich with roasted potatoes, and it was very exceptional. I have no complaints on this one including the price.

    I pretty much love everything on the menu. Even the basic spicy pimento cheese sandwich is awesome. One of my favorite lunch spots.

    Taziki's kind of dropped off my radar after a couple of experiences which left me high and dry - nothing bad - but annoying. One of them was simply that they were out of roasted peppers, but they didn't tell me until the food came out. I'd gotten the dish because it contained roasted peppers, and it was just treated as an insignificant detail that I shouldn't be concerned about. With the horrible Midtown lunchtime traffic, it's not worth the hassle to me.

    Very disappointing. White bread pita, no flavor hummus, sub par rubbery chicken. Lamb moderate quality. No flavor rice. Tea hardly befitting the south. All in all very "white bread" chain restaurant.Would not recommend this restaurant.

    I just had the worst experience at Taziki's. The wait was 52 minutes for our meal. The Manager Matt was so rude to table after table of people. Tuscaloosa is a college town and Sunday's are always going to be busy. They need new management quickly before foorball season starts or they will have more disgruntled and unhappy customers like me.

    Do you see silverware on any tables? Just the tip of the iceberg. My rice is crunchy. Waited have way through my meal for a glass of wine. When I asked about it the lady said someone would bring it to the table. It never came, has to walk to the register and get it myself. This place has really dropped the ball since our last visit!

    I love the Fish taco which is only available on Thursday because it's the special. The weekend pasta is great too. Chicken salad and pimento cheese is wonderful too!

    Me and my husband used to like going here but not anymore. A month ago, we ordered takeout and hubby was mad when he got home. He had ordered the Mezedes platter which is supposed to come with Dolmades, Taziki dip and hummus, complete with pita bread to eat with the dips. He checked the bag before leaving the restaurant and the pita bread wasn't there. He goes to the register to let them know he didn't get his pita bread and he says that one of the workers gave him a dirty look as if he was implying my husband was being "difficult." You know that kind of look. HELLO! THE PITA BREAD COMES WITH THAT PARTICULAR DISH. Hubby didn't appreciate that. So then they give him his pita bread and they gave such a small amount that it was ridiculous. We have ordered this dish many times in the past and they give a decent amount of bread so we knew this had been done on purpose because they obviously perceived us as being "difficult" even though we had every right to ask for what we were SUPPOSED TO GET AND FOR WHAT WE HAD PAID FOR. So after he tells me all this I decide to contact their customer service e-mail and I pretty much explain everything as I am writing now. I even included a picture of how much pita we got so they could see for proof. As of today I still never heard anything either from the company; not by e-mail, phone # or letter in the mail. This tells me that Taziki's main headquarters apparently does NOT CARE about the customer complaints. So we will probably NEVER EAT AT TAZIKI'S AGAIN! Even if it's another location somewhere else, they've lost our business for good! I advise anyone who wants to eat here, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

    Just ok at best. the lamb was weird thick strips for some reason and small portions. Between Big Daddy's and Hooligans there are better places for a good meal. I know this is suppose to be a Traditional more upscale Mediterranean restaurant but fails miserably at it.

    Tazikis is a staple memory and food from visiting friends in Birmingham on 280. I'm glad to see it in Tuscaloosa. I ordered the lamb feast and was pleased with the promptness and delivery. The interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated and woody. Peaceful. We are outdoors as the weather was nice. My lamb was slightly dry but not too bad. The rice was good, salad was good. Meal was good. Definitely a recommendation if you're in town. If you're in Birmingham on 280 give it a try too. Definitely a highlight of taste in the area outside your traditional bar-b-q joint.

    I am a bit conflicted on the 4 stars for a chain restaurant, but there aren't many original restaurants in the area, and this place is better than other dining options in the immediate area. This past visit, I ordered the Greek salad with grilled lamb, and my companion ordered the daily special of a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich. Both dishes where good. I enjoyed my salad (the dressing could have been spicier), and my dining companion enjoyed her sandwich. Service was fast, but is was a Monday lunch, and most places aren't busy. Given this experience, I'd come back.

    Service was fine, new clean attractive decor, nice menu... The food just wasn't very good. I can't really describe any particular issues so it could very well be that it just wasn't what my familt likes...but none of us cared for what we ordered.
