The Purple Onion Moody - Moody, Alabama

I ordered the beef shawarma, and it was undercooked—grilled but not properly cooked like a traditional shawarma. The service was poor. I initially ordered two shawarmas and two Coke Zeros, but they didn’t have Coke Zero and were only serving two drink options from the soda machine. I ended up canceling one shawarma and both drinks. The total should have been 10.10 but got charged $12.09, then I was charged $13 because the cashier didn’t have change. The food was overly salty and didn’t taste like authentic shawarma. Overall, not a place I would recommend. Their health score from March was only 83, which now makes sense. I should also note, as you can see in picture, they had no cash register to track orders and the place looked like a ghost town. If this is a franchise, you would think Purple Onion would have certain standards.

The old lady working the drive through window can barely speak english and is very rude to the customers. She could not understand we were asking for a simple side of ranch and instead gave us a side of fries with ranch on them even after we told her that is not what we wanted. It is also insanely overpriced for the quality.

When the older lady would work there by herself my food came out hot perfect and good EVERYTIME. There's a new girl at the window who is rude and my chicken was literally burnt to a crisp...unedible. BURNT. A waste of $15. Might as well drive all the way to another Purple Onion location if you want it bad. Im glad the older lady has help now but they arent doing right.

I cannot say enough good things! There are several items on the menu that I love (turkey melt, cheeseburger, chili basket), I love the gyro plate the best! I’m so glad Moody has a place to not only get American and Mediterranean food! And the service is fantastic - I’ll call 10 min before I arrive to place my order, and I can pick it up in the drive thru. The lady who’s there at the window is so fast and efficient, and she addresses me by my name with my possible order when I call. It’s lovely to have this kind of service!

The Purple Onion in Moody, Alabama was beyond expectations. We have never eaten here and didn’t know what to expect. Cannot understand a review any lower than 5 stars. The only thing we could think of to change would be Earth friendly packaging, that’s it!

Next, love the idea of a restaurant with a drive-through. No, this is not fast food this is restaurant quality meals! The menu was good with healthy options. We will definitely come by Moody to go to the Purple Onion again! The shrimp kabob was delicious and a heart healthy amt of veggies. Will be back! Thank you.

Service was friendly and fast, but the gyro was really bad. Meat was dry and crunchy and the pita was more like a tortilla that was toasted. Fries were good though.

Food was just ok. Not enough pita for the hummus. The salad was drowning in dressing, I couldn't eat it

I love the chicken shawarma plate and unsweet mint tea. The staff is always friendly as well! It may take a few minutes to prepare -- because it's fresh -- but this is my comfort food.
