We came to Birmingham for a show and needed to find a good place for dinner near our hotel. We saw Makarios and decided to try it. It’s very casual but smelled incredible! I ordered the lamb shawarma with roasted veggies and salad. My husband had the combo shawarma. We also ordered hummus. My mother in law ordered the ghallaba. The food was absolutely wonderful!! The seasoning was so good and the hummus was perfect! For desert I tried the Turkish coffee and basbousa cake. The coffee was authentic and I enjoyed the cake. We will definitely plan to come back here again when we travel this direction. The staff was very nice and helpful as well.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The chicken shawarma is absolutely amazing and their garlic sauce, I need at least a cup of that stuff. The onion rings are also some of the best and actually battered and not breaded. Soooo good. Also, don't forget desert either because they have homemade baklava and their house cake is heavenly.
