I was recently in town visiting from NC and decided to listen to all the other reviews and checked this place out and it was amazing!! What I liked the most: Hot grape leaves (as they should be) with rice and beef with a side of labneh. Lamb chops were juicy and tender and came with side of lentil soup served with pita croutons and fries! Homemade Warbat. Ashta (cream) wrapped in fillo dough and fried!! Lebanese Iced Tea made with light syrup. So good. Kennedy was an amazing server and recommended all the right things! Can't lose with any of the things above. read more

I don't live in Mobile but I like to come here when I'm in town. Today was definitely an off day. The service was not good at all. I asked for my check 10 min ago and nothing. There are not that many people here. All night, I've felt like an afterthought. That is unusual. If it ever happens again, I probably won't be back. The lentil soup is the most amazing thing on the menu! read more

Food was hot and fresh. The fries were good and plentiful but I wish there wasn't so much dry seasoning. Chicken shawarma wrap was juicy and the pickles gave great contrast. Comes with a soup as well! Would come back! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They got very busy just after 12pm for lunch rush on a Wednesday so come earlier.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food was very good, service was also excellent, and their grocery store had a great selection of items that are hard to find. I will return read more

Everything I had this evening was just terrible. Firstly, the so-called Greek Salad bore no resemblance to the real thing (lettuce, really?) and was drowned in an unimaginably bad citrus dressing. Secondly and worse, the Lamb Shish Kabob I ordered comprised indigestible and tasteless lumps of hard meat that bore no resemblance to lamb and was more likely beef. The rice that with it tasted like furniture polish and was inedible. The service was surly until it came to tipping time. I've been here before and it was decent. Something was very off tonight and I write this review in the hope that they will raise their standards so that the next time I go, I can at least enjoy something I order. read more

This is one of my favorite hidden gems. The food is phenomenal and they require a little more time to prepare these fresh dishes. So if Karen is with you take her somewhere else for fast food. Good food takes time! read more

Nothing beats the warmth of a perfectly spiced dish! Seven Spices Grocery and Grill is an awesome place offering all sorts of entrees and appetizers. In the front is the grocery store and the grill is in the back. The grocery store was a really cool place with lots of unique Mediterranean drinks, desserts, spices, canned food, fruits, vegetables etc. We ended up buying a bag of mini chocolate bars, and sharing them in the car. Next time I want to take some time to really look through the store. There were so many interesting food items that I would love to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The grill offers table seating as well as take out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a party of four and visited on a Sunday night, and there was plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered appetizers and entrees. My favorite appetizers were the falafel, baba ganoush and the hummus. For my entree,, I ordered the shrimp kebab with lentil soup and fresh vegetables. The lentil soup was absolutely amazing. Everyone in my party wanted to try it because it was SO GOOD!! The shrimp and vegetables were also amazing! read more

The restaurant is at the back of the grocery, you literally can't see it from the front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great space with dim lighting and romantic atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a few days before Thanksgiving and there were many large groups dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't get the name of the young woman who served us, but she was delightful. Following a sad Indian food adventure which you can find in my other reviews, we stopped here for some dessert. We shared our woe and apologized for not starting here. We ordered the Baklava and Kunafa which was also recommended to us. We also had a gyros plate (shared as an appetizer because of hungry kids) and everything was delicious. read more

I called in my order , arrived and paid it for on my card. The restaurant said they didn't receive the funds. I showed them my account on my phone and contacted my bank so they could be assured it was not on my end. They still refused me my food and wanted me to pay a second time along with telling me I wanted to scam them when I frequent here. DO NOT RECOMMEND . read more

7 Spice is one of my favorite spots in Mobile. The gyros are outstanding with perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and warm pita that holds it all together. The fries deserve their own shoutout too. They are always hot, golden, and perfectly crispy. Don't sleep on the Creamy Carrot soup. read more

Wow! I simply don't know where to begin. This was a surprise and I mean that in a really good way. We recently moved to the coastal area and I have been missing being able to go every week to a middle eastern grocery store. Imagine our surprise to find one AND it has an incredibly delicious restaurant tucked away in the back! We were so happy to be able to pick up spices, sweets, and Lebanese yogurt. We decided to try the restaurant and it was well worth the visit! They have Lebanese tea which we absolutely love and is hard to find. It's a refreshing drink of iced tea with rose water and orange blossom water. It was hard to narrow down our choices on what to order since the menu had so many items that we love. We ordered zaatar loaf which is pita bread with zaatar seasoning and olive oil which is one of our favorites. We ordered a chicken shawarma, chicken shish took sandwich and a beef shawarma. We were surprised that our sandwiches came with a choice of soup or salad in addition to fries, rice or vegetables. We all opted for the lentil soup. It was wonderful! Our sandwiches came out quickly and we tried all three and not a single negative comment was made. There honestly wasn't much conversation at the table since the food was so delicious. All three sandwiches were hot, full over flavor, and delicious! We all loved the vegetables that had roasted potatoes mixed in. The rice wand fries were very good as well. Our server was extremely nice and answered all of our questions and made great recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is cozy and has quite a few tables. I love the music that they played.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of the employees were so friendly and helpful from the shop up front to the restaurant in the back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is very clean and easy to find any items that you may need.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am so glad that we found it. I will be able to soothe my inner Lebanese cravings with the items from both! Delicious food and so you know that you simply cannot go wrong! read more

I stopped here recently for takeout while passing through Mobile after reading the rave reviews from locals on Reddit. It did not disappoint! I had beef kebobs, with so many sides - rice, salad, and carrot soup. The meat was flavorful and delicious. The attached grocery store was like a playground. It reminded me of Japanese convenience stores, except Middle Eastern. So many delightful snacks and food that I usually can't find! read more

Came in right at dinner time and only one table was sat. Server was very efficient and friendly from the minute I sat down. Soon as my hummus arrived the place began to fill up quickly. Enjoyed the creamy hummus and grilled chicken but would have liked some hot sauce for the rice to set it off. The garlic sauce that came with the meal was good and the mixed veggies cooked just right. Will return again for a healthy meal. Nice touch was the lentil soup that came with the meal. read more

We are long term fans. My suggestions include the rose tea to drink. I love the hummus or falafel as an appetizer. The arayas is a good dinner option-but make sure you add the onions and cheese option. The desserts are definitely worth trying. This is a great place if you like authentic food. I always ask the staff for recommendations and they have never steered me wrong. read more

This is a quant little restaurant in the back of a Grocery market. Much like you would find in the Middle East. The food was good. Lintel soup was a bit grainy but very tasty. Then went on to the hummus which was just as you would find in Saudi or Qatar. Great. Next was lamb Chops. You can't go wrong. Smoky with a nice char cooked to perfection. There was a bit of a wait at the door but well worth it. Servers are attentive and super friendly. If you like middle eastern food don't miss out. read more

The Greek salad was a great appetizer. The Lamb Shish Kabob comes with rice, grilled vegetables and your choice of a soup or Greek salad. I've you've never tried this place out.

Stopped there for lunch and was impressed with the food and service. It appeared they only had one waitress and she was in overdrive trying to keep up. I ordered a lamb kabob sandwich with rice and a sweet tea. The sandwich and tea were incredible as was the rice. The restaurant is in the rear of a small store and nicely tucked away like a hidden jewel. Other customers coming in were talking about how good the food is and I heard some recommend the firecracker shrimp and baklava, I guess I know what I'm trying next time. read more

Came across this grocery store doubled as a restaurant during my weekend trip to Mobile. Their restaurant is separate from the grocery store placed all the way in the back so you still get a good sit down feel. There's plenty of seating so no wait necessary! Unfortunately the staff was short the day we went, but the waitresses were really on top of it! She got us our menus, drinks, and food very quickly!! Speaking of food, their portions are huge! You get a soup or salad with each sandwich or entree with a side to go along with it. I personally got a Chicken Kabob sandwich. I was very pleased with the spices on the chicken. It could've used some more sauce in my opinion but overall a good and filling meal! The staff were so nice and food so filling I'd definitely recommend to anyone in the area or even visiting! read more

Such a hidden gem! We love shopping at the grocery, and decided to stop in for an early dinner. We shared the dip mix, which was three generous portions of their dips, the chili sauce is delicious! We also got a bowl of the lentil and the carrot soups, each were very tasty! Then ended with the clotted cream dessert- very creamy, not overly sweet. Our waitress was very sweet, and did her best with all of us since she was the only one waiting on tables. Highly recommend and we will be back! read more

This place is a really neat Mediterranean market and also has a restaurant in the back. I loved browsing and looking at all of the items they have to offer. I can't wait to make dolmas with my grape leaves I purchased.

While traveling through Mobile, we found this looking for a place to stop for dinner. Never would have found or considered this without Yelp, nor would we have known to go all the way to the back of a very well-stocked store to reach the restaurant hidden behind it. The positive reviews we read were right on point: great food, reasonable prices, and unobtrusively good service. From the Vegetarian Sampler, there was nothing I didn't want to continue eating had there not been simply too much food. If we weren't heading for another hotel, I would have gladly taken every bit remaining and had a second, wonderful meal. Despite its secretive location, it had a lot of customers and was handling a brisk take-out load as well. Maybe our timing was lucky, but with just two servers (and maybe some pitching in from the kitchen), there was barely any noticeable wait throughout the meal. Try the Lebanese tea. It has some kind of rose water and orange citrus infused in it and is interesting and delightful. Wish we were coming back. If I'm ever back in Mobile, I will return. read more

Chicken needed more seasoning. Overall the dinner and atmosphere was very good. Service was great. Reminds you of a little Greek restaurant/grocery store you see in Greece. read more

I'm so smitten with this spot, it's absurd! I Yelped, I came, and I fell in love! First, I had a reaffirmation moment of how awesome Yelp is as I pulled into the parking lot, realizing that I'd passed this spot a gajillion times never even looked in its direction. Then I entered, saw the grocery store and wondered if I was lost. Nope, keep walking and you'll eventually find yourself in a Mediterranean foodie wonderland! Guys, I tried everything I could stomach! Lamb gyro, hummus, grape leaves -- veggie and meat, and a bit of whatever the hubs was having! (lol) ALL WAS DIVINE! The food, again divine, the service was attentive and super friendly, and the restaurant itself is clean and quaint. I'm definitely going to do my best to become a regular, and then go full-on "Duchess badge!" 7 Spice is legit, don't miss! read more

Well I never knew I was part Mediterranean! This restaurant is located in the back of a store. Party of two that arrived a few minutes before the restaurant opened. After a few minutes the hostess and server took us to a table. She was very personable. Drink orders were taken and we ordered a combo appetizer with three dips, Hummus, Baba Gahnouj, and Labneh. For an entree I ordered Chicken Shawarma with rice, grilled veggies, and a Greek Salad with citrus dressing. My wife got the Moussaka. I would have to say this is one of those rare moments when an excellent front of house is perfectly complimented by a kitchen that is hitting on all cylinders. Every bite of every dish was clearly displaying a chef and staff that had a passion for fresh ingredients and tremendous flavor profiles. Absolute best recommendation for Seven Spices. read more

Great Mediterranean shop and restaurant! Came here for lunch and had a great beef shawarma pita sandwich that came with a side of veggies, rice or fries, plus a salad or soup. The beef shawarma was very flavorful. Portion sizes were about right for lunch and the price was great, at $8 for all that!! I would definitely recommend trying this place! read more

Great food. Great presentation. Fair prices. Good service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only issue: it was so dark in the restaurant that I had to use the flashlight on my cell phone to read the very small writing on dark-colored menus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food was great..should try the mixed grill which was awesome.They sell halal meat too.

In the past - the side of grilled veggies were under seasoned and on the raw side. Now they are overly seasoned and doused with a cup of zatar - I could not eat more than 1 bite! The pita croutons for the my lentil soup were burnt. Why would a chef agree to serve burnt pita croutons? This makes me sad. And the wrap had such a meager portion of protein, but lots of onions and tomatoes. read more
