Purple Onion Deli Grill - Homewood

When I dine at Purple Onion, I always order the chicken salad plate. The only downside is the strong odor in the restaurant. If the weather isn't nice enough to sit outside, I have to deal with the smell while eating my food.

I absolutely adore Purple Onion! The food is consistently excellent. The service is just what you need, no frills. The restaurant is generally very clean. Although it’s a bit small, they have a spacious terrace.

This is one of my favorite Lowla Onion locations. I always order the Gyro plate, and it’s amazing. The lamb is cut thicker and seasoned more thoughtfully than at other similar restaurants in the city. The vegetables are also much fresher. Plus, the staff is always friendly.

Surprise. I don't like this kind of food, but had to go there so I tried the Terraki wings and Pommes and they were fantastic!!!

Where have you been all my life?. The Purple Onion was a pleasant surprise for me. I live near this location and pass it every time I go to the Publix, but had never been in. It took an experienced friend, a Birmingham native, to introduce me to what I thought Al’s would be. Of course, there is no comparison. I believe I ordered the Falafel Pronto with fries, which was delightful. But this is a 24 hr. greasy spoon kind of place with a huge menu that all looks good and stomach cramp inducing, in the best way possible. I have only dipped my toe into the ocean that is The Purple Onion. So glad to know it’s there when I need it. By far the best, local fast food I’ve had.
