Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe Opelika

Bless their hearts. Definitely not worth $30 for 2 soups and a hummus plate. No fountain beverages or tea. Certainty not run by Greeks. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1

Everything was delicious. There was a problem with the tea that the staff corrected immediately. Excellent service! Dietary restrictions: I try to eat lean with plenty of veggies and fruit. Excellent choice. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Mediterranean Salad, Hummus

A) I love Taziki’s. All the ones in Birmingham are great. B) This one is awful. It doesn’t participate in the weekly specials, which is bad enough. But we tried to eat there last night, and it’s “to go” only due to “staffing shortages.” Whomever is in charge of this location is taking a winning formula and ruining it. Edit: removed a star for the owner’s response, which confirmed my comment about the problem being the person running this location. I don’t have to be a restaurant genius to draw a conclusion that the problem is this particular store when I see a dozen Taziki’s operating smoothly and just this one running poorly. And yeah, the food was great at Takoyaki across the parking lot where we ate after seeing the sign on your door. Weird they were somehow fully staffed and able to serve customers in the exact same economy you’re failing in. In fact, I seem to recall numerous restaurants in the exact same area that were somehow managing.
