" I had a very unfortunate experience at The Purple Onion. Initially, the service seemed promising, but the longer we waited for our food, the worse it got. Once it finally arrived, my kabob was overcooked and dry. I tried explaining this to the staff, but they were dismissive. It’s hard for me to spend money when food quality isn't there. Hopefully, this was just an off night for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Purple Onion is a must-visit for anyone in Birmingham! When we visited, I had the lamb kabob. It was succulent and had such a delicious marinade. The outdoor seating area was quite nice, adding to the overall feel. Can’t wait to go back and sample more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried to give The Purple Onion a second chance but was still let down. I ordered the chicken gyros and they were overcooked and lacked flavor. The service was quick, and the environment was fine, but food quality must be paramount in a restaurant. I won’t be returning after two unsatisfactory visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try The Purple Onion after hearing so many great reviews. The ambiance was relaxed and pleasant, making it easy to enjoy our time together. However, when the food arrived, we were somewhat disappointed. My gyro was not very flavorful, and the portion sizes for the price felt a bit small. Though the fries were great, I expected more from the main dish. I think I’ll explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Purple Onion surprised me when I visited it last Saturday! I had the lamb gyro, and it was fantastic. The meat was tender, and the flavors were robust. I also ordered the fries, which were crunchy and flavorful. Delightful experience overall, and the staff was welcoming. I’ll be recommending this spot for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience we had here last night! The Purple Onion has a versatile menu, and I opted for the veggie platter. Everything was fresh and seasoned perfectly. I also enjoyed the pleasant outdoor seating! Service was quick, and the staff was friendly. I can’t wait to return to explore other options on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first got there, the place appeared a bit rundown. I was skeptical, but I soon found that the food was fantastic! The burger and fries were hot and delicious. Quality definitely makes up for the looks, and I will be coming back to enjoy more great meals. " (*Curated Review*)
