    Unfortunately, I didn't have the best experience customer service wise, and I think it might be a demographic issue. I noticed a different level of treatment for different people that came in, even though there were others that it was their first time there just like me. Expressing I've never been there before and asking about the menu and getting the cold shoulder, ordering a falafel sandwich and sitting down to wait, and wait. An older couple came in expressed the same thing about being New. There never been there asking about the menu and they sit down for their food, or prompt brought out a big old sample platter of all their different items to try , and then our orders were delivered at roughly the same time. My falafel also wasn't freshly cooked, it was cold and honestly wasn't super impressive. Lacking in any sauce, there was some, but it was all on the surface, underneath it was cold and dry. Typically, I give a place two or three chances before I leave anything that might be taken as negative, but I don't plan to go back here. I would've ordered some more stuff too. Had they been a little nicer or at least a little more customer service orientated, I would've ordered some stuff to take for others and order some desserts but no.

    I was on my way home, passing through the area, and had bookmarked this spot a while back. It was dinner time, and since Mediterranean food is always a winner in my book, I decided to give it a try. It was a Sunday evening, and when I called to place my order, the line was busy. It took me two or three tries to get through, but when I did, the gentleman who answered was super friendly and helpful. I went with the traditional lamb gyro combo, paired with a side of grape leaves. I think I might've gone against the local trend because when I arrived to pick up my order, they had accidentally packed it with French fries instead of grape leaves. No big deal, though--after a quick reboxing, they had me out the door and on my way. The gyro itself was fantastic. They do their own blend of lamb, beef, herbs, and spices, which I really appreciate--it adds a layer of authenticity and flavor that you don't always find. The meat was generously portioned with nice thick cuts, and the tzatziki was spot-on: creamy, tangy, and fresh. The sandwich was well-constructed and held together nicely without falling apart mid-bite (always a plus!). The grape leaves were fresh and flavorful, with just the right balance of seasoning. The dining room caught my eye when I went in--it was very clean and surprisingly spacious. Whether you're dining solo or bringing the family along, it's the kind of place where you'd feel comfortable sitting down for a casual meal or grabbing a quick bite. The relaxed, no-frills vibe really works here. Price-wise, the food was well-priced and offered great value for what you get. Generous portions, quality ingredients, and flavors that hit the mark without breaking the bank. When I arrived, the sun had just set, and this place is definitely one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it spots. The building blends in a bit with the surrounding businesses, and the parking lot is a little quirky--the spaces felt a bit tight, so if you're driving anything larger than a sedan, just be prepared to maneuver carefully. All in all, this is the kind of hidden gem you're glad you stumbled upon. If you're passing through, have business in the area, or are lucky enough to live nearby, it's definitely a spot worth frequenting. I'll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu next time I'm in town!

    Stopped for a quick lunch as my family was traveling through the area. The food was so fresh! I had the falafel pita combo with fries. Everything was hot and fresh. The portion size was plentiful. The ambiance was traditional with a Mediterranean vibe. We waited for our food a little longer than a fast food place, but shorter than a sit down dinner. The fresh food was definitely worth the wait. We finished our meal with a piece of the lemon coconut cake and baklava. They were absolutely delish!

    What a wonderful casual restaurant! Delicious, & great value. I got the Kofta Sandwich platter and upgraded my side to the stuffed grape leaves! It took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready- hot & fresh. They made it just the way asked, didn't skimp on ingredients, & I really enjoyed my Dr. pepper with it and they gave me a free refill to go as well! There is an abundance of indoor seating as well.

    After hitting the outlets to purchase fall fashions that I'm sure my toddler will grow out of in the next 5 minutes, I decided to try something good. Since we lost Mooney's in Winston-Salem, I've wanted some really good Mediterranean. The restaurant was in a small strip mall just one exit from the outlets. There are several small straps on that road, but it's the one across from the State Employee's Credit Union. Although the strip mall was sort of tucked away, the restaurant has a nice large sign in front of it. I called in my order and spoke to a nice lady who was very patient and answered my questions. I ultimately ordered the Kafta over rice with cauliflower and falafel as my sides, an order of lentil soup and a side of hummus. The Kafta Kabob was a little dry and tough, but it was seasoned well. The rice was not seasoned at all. The dish was described as being served with a garlic sauce, but it didn't taste very garlic forward to me. The falafel was bursting with flavor and perfectly crispy on the outside. I dipped it in the tasty tzatziki sauce, and it took it over the top!! The cauliflower was referred to as roasted cauliflower and/or cauliflower salad. It was served cold and it was very garlicky, and herbaceous, but the lemon just over powdered the flavor. The lentil soup was unlike anything I've ever had. The lentils were ground and served in a spicy vegetable broth. It is a vegan option. It was delicious, but the texture was very different. Finally, the hummus. They have a couple of options. The regular/general flavor and a flavored option. I ignored the name of it when she mentioned cilantro. I'm one of those, "it tastes like soap" people. The hummus was creamy, seasoned, and served with warm pita. They also top your individual serving with extra olive oil and seasonings. Overall, it was a good experience. Although I ordered to go, they have tables and booths inside for you to dine in with them.

    Our food took forever to get ready, so I was going to subtract some stars from this review BUT the food was so good that the wait was more than worth it! We ordered a chicken kabab platter and a kofta sandwich. The chicken on the kabab was tender, the rice was aromatic, well seasoned and delicious. Baba Ghanouj and the jalapeño hummus tasted fresh, again very flavorful with a crispy pita on the side. The kofta sandwich was big enough to be enjoyed for me and my husband. Delicious combination of beef and lamb with a warm pita lettuce and tomatoes. They also had fountain drinks what it was a plus for us. Staff was very nice. Everything cooked to order, fresh and clean. Delicious! I highly recommend this place!! I already want to come back for more!

    Chicken Shawarma Pita Sandwich

    We stopped in for dinner on a drive down I-40 on a whim- and now can't believe how far it is from home. We will find excuses to go here. We got the chicken shawarma and falafel pita sandwiches. As Mediterranean lovers, my partner and I seek out great gyro, shawarma, and falafel all around the east coast. As much as it pains us to admit, Castle beats out our previous favorite. The falafel is hands down the best I've had. Fresh parsley takes it over the edge, and the texture is perfect. The sauces and quality of pita are also super, and we have high standards. Seriously, this dinner made our night after an exhausting move. Please stop here- and please let the owners know how much you love the food. Next time we'll eat in so that we can.

    As much as we were excited to try this place, the disappointment was much bigger. Chicken Kabab platter: chicken was extremely dry and old. A couple of pieces were okay but the rest were old and disgusting. Luke warm. That tells me that they had the chicken cooked ahead of time and just put it a little bit on the grill. When we made the order, they told me that It will take 15 mins and after 20 mins wait, this is what we got, inedible chicken. Falafel sandwich: took the falafel out of the sandwich because they taste much better than the rest of the ingredients and the bread. Falafel is okay but get it by itself on a plate. Kofta Kabab platter: stay away!!! I ate one bite and left everything as is. It is disgusting, literally. I had hummus as a side, watered down to an unrecognizable taste. We had grape leaves as sides on both platters, they are good, but guess what, they are canned, not made on site. So no credit to the restaurant here. Tabouleh side: disgusting! I just have one question for the owners of this restaurant: have you ever tasted tabouleh at any point of your life? A 5 year old can get the ingredients off of the internet and put them together. How can you screw up tabouleh!!! This restaurant is a disfrace to the middle eastern cuisine. Please stop this massacre.

Service is very friendly, and as quick as possible, considering that stuff seems to be made to order. I ordered a chicken kebab platter which comes over a bed of basmati rice, possibly with saffron. Whatever the rice tasted great and it wasn't dry like at a lot of places. The chicken was marinated in a tangy yogurt-spice mix, grilled and topped with a tahini sauce. Delicious! As sides I got mujadara and roasted vegetables which were also tasty. I'll be back for takeout for sure in the future.

    "Bodega-like Mediterranean Grill & Grocery in Parkwood area of Durham"…read more This place is WAY off the beaten path for most, but I'm so happy to have gotten to try it out. Nestled in a little strip between a Muslim school and a mosque is this grill and grocery. We came on a Wednesday evening, and almost every table was already taken by diners. You order your food at a counter, and it has the Middle Eastern foods you'd expect-- kofta, shawarma, gyros, falafel, baba ghanouj, hummus, baklava, etc. I opted for the lamb gyro sandwich with a side of baba ghanouj, and my dining partner had the falafel sandwich. They call your number when it's ready. Food took maybe 10 minutes to receive, so we browsed the market area. It's not a huge selection, but very traditional-- nice seeing so many labels in Arabic, and along with standards (e.g., canned fava beans for Ful Medames), they also had things like frozen chopped mulukhiyah leaves-- that's definitely a rarer sight. Lots of good spices too. The food was EXCELLENT. The lamb was juicy and perfect (unlike what another Yelp review said), the tzatziki sauce was delicious, and the baba ghanouj was perfectly cooked and textured. I had a small bite of the falafel, and it was indeed one of the best I've had in the US. Price was fair, too-- the sandwiches are all under $10 before tax and tip, and making it a combo with side and drink cost just something like $2.50. And service was friendly-- although they called out numbers, they did walk out with the food to try to find and bring you your dishes. And while it was an older space, it was overall still generally clean. Overall, I'd VERY happily come back.

They have the usual and traditional Mediterranean dishes, but I wanted something different today. Went with some authentic Yemeni food. I ordered the Fahsah Lehm. This is a Saltah (traditional Yemeni stew) with melt in your mouth lamb that came out piping hot and bubbling in a clay bowl (see vid). You can feel, hear, smell and taste the authenticity in this dish. Spices and flavors flowing all over. It comes out with an amazing garlic sauce and a Yemeni style green sauce, almost like a salsa. And if that wasn't enough, you get the biggest clay oven bread (a Yemeni Malawah) you have ever seen. Words don't do it justice, see pics for details. This is honestly the perfect edible shovel. Tear some off, scoop up some bubbling lamb and spices, then drag it through the garlic and green sauce. Get messy...flavor the authenticity this dish explodes with.

We didn't even need to look at the menu because we both wanted the Iskander Platter. Lucky we came in when we did because we got the last of it. Since having it the first time, I've watched a few recipe videos on how it's made. It's quite a process and takes a while so it's understandable they can't just make more quickly if they run out. This time it had a little different flavor than the last time. It had a saltier flavor and not quite as buttery as I remembered which was disappointing since that was the best part for me. It was still delicious but I was happy for the yogurt that helped cut the saltiness a little. Possibly the sauce became more concentrated since it was the end of the batch they had. I could only finish half because it's such a large portion but my husband finished his. The service was super friendly as always. The owners here are so lovely and always attentive. I will definitely be back again.
