    Had their kufta kabab plate the kebab was tasty! Rice was good, too. Hummus was just okay, as it needed a bit more flavor. The plate was served with hummus and rice but no salad. We also ordered their lamb kabob plate and it came the same way. Would prefer if they had a light salad with this plate. Pita was average and didn't taste homemade. I also ordered their baklava and it was soggy, tasted stale and not good at all. I was very disappointed.

    The restaurant has its own parking space in front of the mall. It is not in the mall. It is near the jeweler. The restaurant is small, clean and quiet. The employees are friendly. The food is amazing! Very authentic. the portions are generous, and the prices are unbelievable For what you get! I recommend the Bettini sampler for a little bit of everything. My husband's chicken wrap was also very good. I feel like more people need to know about this place. GOLDSBORO, You have a dynamite Mediterranean restaurant right by the mall where you can eat healthier, and for less money than nearby franchises. Check out Bateeni you won't be sorry! I'm thinking of using their catering services; it would be a hit!

    Stepped into Bateeni for some light lunch due to the gorgeous weather. All I can say is, WOW. Authentic Mediterranean flavors, incredibly fresh veggies, and polite staff. I love this place. We got a small hummus, a chicken gyro, and a beef bowl. This place is a must if you love rich flavors and a perfect tzatziki!

    Beef Shawarma, Turkish salad, grape leaves and a Gyro!!

    Traveling through the area I was looking for local restaurants and I stumbled upon a Bateeni. Such an amazing spot. I will be back! Food was very fresh, I ordered the beef Shawarma plate with Turkish salad and grape leaves. I also picked up a Gyro sandwich. I have no idea why there's not a line out the door, but I will be back. Great customer service, and very clean. 10 / 10

    Both got plates. Phenomenal portion sizes. Rice & meat spiced well and not overly oily. Recommend the tabbouleh and hummus as sides.

It had snowed that particular week, so not sure if it was quiet because of that, because there was only one other customer in the restaurant. The place is quite plain and noticeably sparse. I shared a Bateeni Sampler with a co-worker. My thoughts - Hummus and Babaghanouj were quite good. - Falafel had a lot more sesame than I normally see, which I liked - Tabbouleh was very fresh - Grape leaves and cabbage salad was OK Despite being very quiet, the food took a long time to prepare. I would say it probably took 15-20 minutes, which seemed very long. Server was nice enough, but there was definitely some miscommunication between the front and back because we ordered a few items to go too, so we waited around 5-10 minutes to find out what we wanted wasn't available. There was some difficulties with refunding what we prepaid, so we ended up taking other food as a substitute. Overall, food was fine, but service had a lot of room for improvement.

As soon as you walk in you can see the kitchen and prep counter with the menu right above it. Order at the counter and pick up at the other end when your pager goes off. We kept it simple and ordered the lamb gyro, seasoned fries, drink, and hummus appetizer. We just had waters, but they offer wine, beer, sodas, bottled water, and some other drinks. Fairly simple, but good size menu with plenty of options. There are plenty of seating options with tables, booths, and outdoor tables as well. While we were waiting and eating there were several to go orders. Steady flow of customers in and out. They also have a great music selection! After a short wait our delicious gyros arrived. The presentation was nothing flashy, but good. The fires were seasoned just right for me, but a little too salty for the wife. The gyros were as expected, delicious and a good size for us. The hummus plate was actually larger than expected, but a nice surprise. There was enough naan for sure. I did not take any pics this time. Overall experience was excellent honestly. We'll definitely eat here again. I recommend giving Olea Mediterranean Kitchen a try.

Large parking lot as the building sits in the front of a strip mall. Staff was very friendly. Service was very good but it was (maybe) 20% full on a Saturday night at 630. Marrakesh claims to be Mediterranean and they are somewhat correct. I consider Greek, Turkish, Italian to be more Mediterranean. OK, I'll give you Moroccan,, but no way Indian. India is in Asia. ( I know this sounds a little like bragging but I've eaten at many Greek & Turkish restaurants in my lifetime (high end to little, casual cafes), so for those who gave it 5 stars...they probably gave the Olive Garden 5 stars too) The menu is not big and has items from all the cuisines I mentioned above ( except Italy of course) The FOOD.... Apps --The Hummus was just pretty good. but the pita they served was dry like "store-bought". --The Grape Leaves (Rolled grape leaves stuffed with ground beef, parsley, and rice) were just OK too. --The Spanokopita; ( a Greek dish) a mixture of cooked spinach, feta cheese, and onion wrapped in phyllo dough.. was very good. Entrees --The Lamb Chops ( you get 4 of them) are the best bet here. Served with rice or salad. It may be the most expensive dish on the menu but well worth it. ( I did find it odd the server never asked how we wanted it cooked but they were juicy and delish) --I had the Three Meat Combo and choose three items: Chicken Tawook, Lamb, and Sheesh, served with rice and salad. All the meats were very dry. --Maqluba (Mediterranean rice casserole with a special blend of spices, chicken, cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes, served with salad) was tried by a few at our table. It's a huge portion of rice with stuff in it (it was very inexpensive at $16 but then again it was mostly rice) There was an item on the menu ( stuffed Cornish game hen) but they were sold out by 630pm on a Saturday night (odd). Desserts I found it odd that the menu only lists 2 desserts, yet when I asked there were approximately 5 more, including the currently popular Dubai chocolate cake or ice cream ( I forgot which but wish I chose it.) I'm glad I asked because our server never mentioned any specials. Warning: do NOT order the baklava. It was as dry as sand. Worst I ever had and I've had many. All in all the locals surely will like it because it is different and I doubt it has much competition. But if you are visiting and eat this type of food a lot back where you're from, buyer beware.

We both love Mediterranean food, and the reviews were great, so we stopped in.

As we waited for our food there were a few others who came in and seemed to be regulars who knew how good this place is. I got chicken shawarma deluxe, and it was perfect. No notes!
