• Very good!

Makarios is a veg-friendly restaurant in the heart of Five Points, which makes it convenient to UAB and the entertainment district. It is family-owned, and you can tell they take pride in their restaurant. Every time I have been there, it has been very clean, but the decor is a little "here and there", like they couldn't decide what direction to take it. Part middle-eastern, part southern kitsch. The food is great, and I HIGHLY recommend their crushed lentil soup. They also have wonderful hummus and are very generous with the pita bread. Their chicken is always cooked well, with just the right amount of spice, and their staff is very friendly. If you are looking to go to lunch there on a week-day, be prepared to wait on a table, as it is a very popular spot for staff of UAB hospital, students, and UAB faculty and staff.
