" What can I say? This place is spectacular! From the warm welcoming to the mouth-watering food, it truly exceeded my expectations. I ordered the meat-stuffed grape leaves as an appetizer and they were perfectly seasoned. For my main course, I went with the grilled salmon which was fresh and flaky. I married the meal with their homemade garlic sauce, which was fantastic on everything. I can’t wait to visit again the next time I’m in Birmingham! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an unexpected delight! I stumbled upon Makarios while exploring Birmingham and decided to give it a try based on the glowing reviews. The grilled lamb chops were honestly the best I’ve ever had—so tender and well-seasoned. The atmosphere felt welcoming, adorned with local art. My server was attentive without being intrusive, which is always a bonus. I finished with their baklava, which was the perfect sweet ending. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried many Mediterranean places, and Makarios does not disappoint! I enjoyed their Chicken Ghallaba and it was seasoned perfectly! The accompanying rice was flavorful and complemented the chicken really well. The service staff was attentive and friendly, which is always a plus. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a genuine Mediterranean experience. I do wish they had a little more space for seating, but it’s definitely worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! I ordered the beef kebabs and they were simply divine, cooked to perfection. The portion size was more than sufficient for one person. I could taste the authentic Mediterranean flavors in every bite. The interior has a very welcoming and relaxed vibe. I also loved how the staff was very attentive to our needs. Making this a regular stop during my visits to Birmingham! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Makarios a couple of times now and I can confidently say it’s one of the best in town for Mediterranean cuisine. The chicken shawarma is always a winner here—the flavor is out of this world. I particularly enjoyed the lentil soup with fresh herbs and spices. The atmosphere is homey and inviting, making it a great place for family gatherings. I’ve recommended it to friends, and they loved it too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Makarios Kabobs & Grill! The lamb shawarma was out of this world—full of rich flavors and tender. I also tried their house-made hummus, which was creamy and delightful with fresh pita bread. The interior decor is eclectic, giving it a unique vibe. While the menu had a ton of options, I think my new favorite is the garlic almond rice. Service was pretty good—it felt like they really care about the customer experience here. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I decided to try Makarios for lunch one day, and it was a fantastic choice! We shared the Sampler Platter and were amazed by the variety. Everything from the baba ganoush to the grilled meats was exceptionally flavorful. The ambiance is cozy, making it a great spot for catching up with friends. Our server was friendly, too, which enhanced our experience. I look forward to returning with my family soon! " (*Curated Review*)
