This past Saturday we took all the children (they are all grown-ups) out for lunch in celebration of our youngest's graduation from nursing school. I picked a restaurant near the venue called NaBeels. NaBeel's is located in Homewood, Al on Oxmoor Rd. It had good reviews and bonus, it was Greek. One of the things I miss/crave is Greek food.
We arrived early and took a seat at the bar. It was fun to watch the prep work being done for the coming day. After about twenty minutes we asked for a glass of wine to drink while we waited for everyone to arrive.The staff were cheerful and pleasant.
Once seated service took a serious downer. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry but you know it's bad when your server deliberately avoids eye contact. Twice, I left the table to get a server for a particular item. I suppose that since an 18% tip was built in that she didn't feel that she needed to work for it. She really, really didn't deserve it.
The food was a complete opposite. WOW!!!!! From the Bifteki (Greek hamburger) and moussaka to the pastitsio and the Camel Riders, everyone agreed the food was superb. Dessert was fantastic too. Tiramisu and canoli topped off our meal. So go to NaBeel's but sit at the bar or get take out.
