Greek Twist (Acocks Green)

Bringing a taste of the Mediterranean to Acocks Green, Greek Twist is a cheerful little takeaway specialising in the kind of fresh, hand-built street food you would find on a sunny afternoon in Athens. The signature move is the gyros wrap, with seasoned meat shaved straight from the spit and tucked into warm pitta with crisp salad, chips and lashings of tzatziki. A proper Chicken Gyros here makes for a satisfying, well-judged lunch that travels happily for collection or delivery across south-east Birmingham.

Beyond the wraps you will find loaded gyros boxes, halloumi options for vegetarians and plenty of dips to share around. Online diners have warmed to it too, rating the takeaway 4 out of 5 from 22 reviews, which points to a kitchen turning out consistent, generous portions. It is a welcome bit of variety in an area thick with curry houses and chip shops, and a handy pick whenever you fancy something a little lighter and brighter than the usual takeaway fare.
