Popped in here for dinner with a few coworkers, as it was one of the few places open near our hotel. 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. read more

Bateeni Mediterranean Grill - Bateeni Sampler - Mediterranean Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

Dined at Bateeni for lunch and it did not disappoint. We started with the bateeni sampler and the grape leaves were the best we've had. The rest of the sampler was also divine. My husband had the chicken kabob plate and I had the lamb gyro - both of which were phenomenal. The pistachio baklava was also great. Mediterranean food has been my go to since being pregnant and we will likely stop in here every trip to Greenville! Service was quick and our waitress was attentive. read more

Best Mediterranean food I've ever had and that comes from someone who has tried hundreds of them. Highly highly recommend!! Owner is extremely nice and welcoming to everyone and employees are efficient. The restaurant itself is being remodeled and is looking great. If I could recommend one thing its the Falafel Best I've ever had. They add sesame seeds that add so much!! read more

Food is amazing, the owner is very friendly and ordering is fast. I've only ordered from the app never eaten inside, but it looks very. Ice inside and seems to always be a crowd read more

This is a hole in the wall but definitely authentically delicious! Everything is homemade. The chicken dish didn't taste as fresh as I would've liked, but im was very impressed by the freshness of the falafel. Probably the best I've ever had. The pita was good but not the shwaest I've ever tasted. Great service though. read more

Couldn't decide on 3 or 4, but gave a 4 since it would benefit them. Interior was bland, nothing great, at least one booth had ripped seat. Attentive and friendly service. Gyro was average/good. Fries were avg and likely frozen. Falafel were freshly made and outstanding. Mint lemonade was excellent. read more

Great food. But it is geared towards take-out. Tables but no service. All food served in styrofoam w plastic cutlery whether eating in or not. read more

Nice to see there are middle eastern options in Greenville. Food taste great, falafel taste fresh and not hard and dry like some I had before. Shish kafta is very well season but smaller than I expected I would give them more stars if their portion is bigger. Reason I said that is Detroit has a lot of Arabic restaurants but their portion is usually 1.5/2 serving for the same price and that's what I am used to. read more

Bateeni Mediterranean Grill - Beef Shawarma Plate With Turkish salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

I had the chicken shawarma and it was delish. I was kinda sad that the hummus was plain with no other flavor options and the pita bread was cold. The salad was great. The baklava was ok, overly syrupy/sweet and the coconut pineapple cake was not to my liking, it was moist like a tres leches cake. The lemonade tasted like it was from a plastic jug (I ordered without mint.) The clerk was super courteous and she allowed me to replace it. The cafe is clean and spacious with a nice piano there. Relaxed atmosphere. I'd go Again if I'm the area but I wouldn't make a special trip out of my way. read more

I love the chicken Schwarma wrap. Get some hot sauce (it is almost like a chutney) and try it with the wrap. Good fries, and the pickles are also very tasty. They have my favorite hummus in town. read more

Very clean atmosphere - food excellent- service staff great-- caring and attentive.. its priced perfectly-- portions are very good. The flavor was delicious read more

The place is uniquely decorated with colorful paintings and furniture that create a very bright atmosphere. There's also lots of windows and natural light and pretty music playing in the background. The place feels clean and open. The atmosphere is very nice Bathroom was not too clean when I went to wash my hands. I would've been sad if I'd had to use it. Wait time was surprisingly long (and my table was the only one in the restaurant) but it's probably not normally that slow because our waiter apologized for it a lot. The food was great! They have rice plates, sandwiches, and more. I had the gyro plate entree with falafel and baba ghabouj as sides and I loved it. I personally would recommend hummus over the baba ghabouj though. Our waitress was also very kind and friendly. read more

my husband and i love this place food its delish and prices are great. great customer service and attentions .

Food, service, ambiance, it's all there at a very affordable price. My kids and I absolutely love this place, the staff is so nice and inviting and the portion sizes are generous. Mint lemonade, gyro sandwich, and falafel are but a few of the standouts here. Their sweet tea recipe is good and consistent, the vegetables are always fresh, and the baklava is quite good as well. One of the local gems of Greenville that I will continue to patronize. :) read more

Best Gyro in Greenville by far. Will go again and again. Found it by accident but glad I did . In Arlington Crossings.

Fresh food, large indoor dining, and lots of variety. Bateeni Mediterranean Grill is one of the popular spot, and you'll want to check their busy times because it get packed with people. The deli cases have fresh foods prepared daily that you can order for dine-in or to-go. Hummus is a garlic delight, and the chicken kebabs / skewers are a perfect complement (the white creamy mixture on your plate is garlic, and it's unbelievably good). The indoor spacious seating is nice, and the tables are spread apart, so you can enjoy your meal. Parking is in a small lot or shared with other businesses. Once again, be sure to check the busy times, or you may be spending time trying to find a place to park. High-quality food, great customer service, and fresh food ... This is a great place to go! For my appetizer, I had Falafel, which is deep-fried ground chickpeas with parsley, onion, and bell pepper. For my entrees, I had Chicken Kabob and Mediterranean Salad. The salad is freshly chopped vegetables, olive feta cheese, olive oil topped with house dressing. For my drink, I had a fresh lemonade with mint. read more

Great food, fast service. The Turkish salad and the gyro platter are my favorites. Highly reccomend, my favorite place to eat when I'm in Greenville. read more

Falafel was dry. No pita or chips to go with the baba ganoush. It was just ok, not great.

What a great place, the food was amazing. The chicken Shwarma was maybe the best that I've ever had in my life, okay I'm going to go out there and admit it--it was the best. Sorry to my friend's tayta (sp?) before that she made the best everything. But wow, the flavors were so intense and rich. I was complimenting them and got to meet Omar, he explained that they ship all their spices whole from Bethlehem. Everything made sense from there, I also got a great pro tip to use whole spices. We enjoyed everything we had. The bread was so freshly made it was just perfect. The limeade is made fresh with real limes and mint. The food is real, your stomach will thank you. I think this is a family run business as they had the cutest kids running around on the weekend when we were there. Everyone was so friendly, and the regulars let me know that they would eat there almost everyday. I'd be a regular if I lived near there as it is, I'm starting to plan travel to make it back there again. read more

Love their food but the salads are extremely inconsistent- sometimes there's twice as much of one ingredient and none of another... I've ordered six times and every single time it's like a completely different salad. Only once was it made as described on the menu. It's disappointing because it's extremely good when made right! read more

So, I just rolled into town and was seriously hungry. I looked on yelp for food and found this. It was excellent! I ordered the MEDITERRANEAN salad with chicken and it was seriously good. Everything was fresh, the chicken was really good and the dressing was spot on! As I walked by tables I noticed everything looked good. Stop in, I don't think you could walk out disappointed!!! read more

Amazing food! Super friendly owners! Clean restaurant. The atmosphere was so inviting and the owners seemed to know every face that walked through the door. I'm glad I stumbled upon this gem on my short pit stop in Greenville. Very well done guys! If I am in the area again I will be sure to stop back in! read more

I love this place! The food is consistently delicious! Depending on my mood I switch back & forth from a gyro to the chicken shawarma. Both full of flavor! The fry's are also delicious as are the salads! Gonna have it for lunch today read more

I don't usually like Mediterranean dishes but when I had their food it changed my life. My friend had a party and hosted bateeni. I thought they would just deliver the food but instead they brought their grill with them and cooked it fresh! It was super delicious. They had everything from hummus, chicken, lamb, to falafel, baklava and Knafa. I didn't know where this place was so when I found out I decided to check out the actual restaurant. I convinced my other friend who was a super picky eater. She was hesitant but caved in. She ordered the chicken shawarma plate and had forgotten to put the sauce on the side. She loved it! And if you knew how picky she was then you would know that meant the food was good. I got the gyro sandwich and substituted the fries for tornado fries. I personally don't eat a lot however if you do then you'll like it here cause the portions are pretty big. On top of that their cups are really nice. It's a fancy copper cup. Also don't wait at the table forever like an idiot like I did because they won't bring you the receipt you have to pay at the front. read more

The Mediterranean salad was excellent and the beef kabob plate was delicious. Arrived in Greenville after a long flight from the west coast and chose Bateeni to grab a meal to go. As mentioned, I was not disappointed by this choice. Good place to dine in also. read more

She was very kind and welcoming to me which was especially memorable to me since I recently moved here. read more

Our party of 3 was very pleased with this nicely appointed Mediterranean eatery that we ate lunch at the other day. I had past by this restaurant on several occasions since it's in an assuming strip mall of sorts, but regretted not coming in sooner after partaking in their authentic Mediterranean fare which was extremely flavorful and fresh! We tried their gyro, Jerusalem burger, Mediterranean salad, and baklava while eating in the other day, and were extremely happy with all their dishes as well as the attentive and efficient service we received while eating in! Our server was very friendly, and did a wonderful job of explaining what all the dishes were since we were novices to the Mediterranean culinary world that we sadly had been missing out on up to this point! We left extremely pleased with all we saw and partook in, and are so very grateful to all you wonderful yelpers out there who took the time to write about this eatery! This eatery left an indelible mark that won't soon be forgotten! read more

Nice family owned restaurant food seems authentic but portions are not as big as I would've hoped for being that I'm paying $17 for beef shawarma and 4 falafels the gyro was very nice and I loved the thickness of the meat but they gave such a small portion of fries it was enough for a child definitely not for an adult over all the food was good although I did have a piece hair in my food in my opinion they're overpriced for the amount they give read more

Eh. Not the best, not horrible. Fries not great. Falafel, very good and would eat that again.

Bateeni Mediterranean Grill - Chicken shawarma wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

Edit: I'm saddened I have to remove a star for service, but yesterday I went to eat lunch and while I was seated and had my order taken right away, it took 10 minutes before I had to remind waitress to bring my water, and another 10 minutes to receive it. After I had waited half an hour without my food I told the waitress I needed to have it to go as I had a meeting soon. She came back a few minutes later, not remembering what I had ordered, and then told me my order was never put into the system. So I sat there for 35 minutes for absolutely no reason and went to my meeting starving. I really like the food here, but that's about as bad a service experience as one can get. If I go again and the service is at normal levels, I'll consider it a hiccup and move it back to a 5 star rating. If I go again and get that kind of service, well that will be my last visit for sure. Bateeni is the real deal, especially compared to its local Greenville competitor, downtown's Marathon. Clean, well-located on Arlington near K&W and Firehouse Subs, and incredibly reasonably priced, Bateeni has never disappointed. Whether you are ordering a gyro, grape leaves, babaganoush, or any other combination, you will be pleased. The atmosphere may be a little stale, but you won't notice as you scarf down your entree. Recommendation: Even their Mediterranean half-side salad is too much to eat in one sitting, and I'm a 6'2" overweight guy. Go here! You will not regret it, especially for lunch. read more

Service is amazing! I got a take out order, to remind me of home. The fattoush was not all that (my nana meanmas is better) not as tasty, was missing something and the pita crisps were thick. Just not as good as Dearborn Michigan has to offer. The takeout of chicken kabob was great, but I was way in the mood for some fattoush. I will definitely be back to try a shawarma sandwich with tabouli and humus on it.... Cannot wait! Thank you for opening up some tasty middle eastern cuisine close to home! Said the Chaldean down the road :0) read more

OMG this place is outstanding!!! I came here after a friend told me how good the food was. I'd passed by it before and made a mental note to try it so when she brought it up today, I had an "Ohhhh yeeaahhh" moment and put it in my mental roladex. I just didn't think I'd be unfiling it so soon. I walked in and the young man at the counter took my order and told me it would be ready in about 10 minutes and sure enough, it was. I ordered the falafel sandwich with fries. It was ready within 10 minutes as promised. I waited WAYYYY too long to eat dinner but I don't think this meal was good just because I was hungry. It was REALLY good. The wrap wasn't traditional pita but rather a flatter flatbread. Almost like a tortilla. The sandwich was HUGE and grilled on the outside. Every bite from first to last was chocked full of falafel, tomato, pickle and hummus. The fries were perfectly fried and sprinkled with a delicious seasoning. Everything was served nice and hot. I cannot wait to return soon. read more
