    Build Your Own Bowl
    Alex K.

    Great food and a great value. The gentleman behind the counter was polite and generous with his scoops. The decor is pretty cheap but I don't think anyone should come here for a luxurious dining experience. Not my first time here and certainly won't be my last!

    Greek bowl
    Markiesa B.

    First time trying this place out and it was empty inside , so quick in and out for me. I decided to do a bowl and pick my toppings and etc. I chose rice and greens for my base. Chicken for my protein and 5 toppings to go along. The bowl also came with pita bread. I must say the bowl was pretty good and filling. Would try it out again

    This restaurant was clean and spacious with multiple tables to dine in. I went to the counter to place my order for a bowl. There were several toppings available to add to my bowl. The server was patient and pleasant. I also got complimentary pita bread. The bread and soda were not good. The bread lacked flavor and didn't taste fresh and the soda was flat. The cucumber and tomato combination topping tasted weird and not fresh. Although I didn't enjoy some of the toppings, I was provided with a nice portion size for my bowl.

    The switch from Simple Greek to FRESKO Greek Kitchen has not brought about all good change to what I once considered a filling "go to" for a healthy and delicious Greek meal. The facade has changed, luckily the flavor of the food has not, but less costs much more and the starters here are now posing as the entrees! So, we do what we always do right? Stand in line, order the bowl, rice, chicken, lettuce, blah, blah, blah. Although this is not chipotle, we are expecting that endless supply of fresh ingredients we would always observe at a chipotle, right? Not the scraps at the bottom of the pan. The five green bean halves equate to a serving of green beans? This alone is hardly appealing and quite disappointing. Something is missing, the potato wedges they have provided in the past, apparently that favorite starch has been taken out of the equation, no longer offered. So here I sit with a half empty bowl. A bit disappointed I scarf down my snack and leave. Manage your expectations. Cheers!

    The Build Your Own Bowl option really lets you customize the meal you want.

    So glad I tried this spot as I'll definitely be going back. Originally I'd planned on getting a pita, but after seeing the make your own bowl option I went with that. There are so many options! You can pick 1-2 proteins and I chose falafel and traditional gyro. As the base, I got brown rice and greens. The fun part was being able to add as many toppings as you wanted... pickled onions (delish), feta, garbanzo beans, banana peppers, garlic green beans, and kalamata olives. To top it off, there are several sauces to choose from. I picked tzatziki sauce, Greek dressing and spicy pepper (requested they go on the side so I could add how much I wanted). The pepper one was far too hot for me. Side note: I just realized they left my pita bread out. Next time I plan on trying the garlic Greek fries and maybe go wild in getting the baklava cheesecake. Their online ordering was super easy and you pick up to go orders from a shelf along the wall inside. In and out in no time. Great lunch spot (a few outdoor tables) or a dinner to go!

    Build Your Own Bowl with chicken and falafel

    I really want to give this spot 4 or 5 stars but I couldn't justify doing so. The staff and customer service was great but I was not hyped up about the food. I opted for the BYO bowl with mixed greens and spinach rice, which both were good but I think the options for toppings were not as plentiful as other restaurants with the same vibe. I do like the fact you can choose two proteins. I just felt the topping options were all over the place. My daughter ordered the same and had the same thoughts. The spanakopita was delicious!! She ordered the Greek fries which were ok but the vinegar through it off a tad and would have been good if it came with a dipping sauce. They cook those fresh so the freshness was great! Overall it wasn't bad it's just wasn't what I was hoping for.

    Bowl with Chicken Gyro
    Kellie D.

    Love this place for a quick, healthy lunch. I always get a bowl. Sometimes these kind of make your own bowl places can be a bit confusing as to what you can select for your bowl without additional charges. Not so at Fresko Greek -- your options and how many you can choose are clearly listed on menu behind the counter and right on the glass you are looking through to pick your options. Ingredients are always fresh and delicious.

    Main ordering bar!

    Very clean and the food is great! Chicken Gyros were stuffed to the gills! They have the things you think of when you think of Greek food! We found it just put wondering around! They have catering and have been open 5 years!

    Traditional Gyro Pita
    Stephen C.

    This is a great spot for a quick healthy lunch. You can be in and out in 15 minutes. They offer custom made pitas, salads or bowls. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. Lots of diet friendly options. I had a quick traditional Gyro Pita. Clean facilities overall decent lunch spot.

    "Consistency Matters"…read more The food is delish, let's start there. This hasn't been on my bingo card for a while and boo hoo! The garden pizzette and chicken shawarma are fan favorites for a reason. Chicken Shawarma is a (IMO) well seasoned cinnamon forward profile that delivers a tender chew. Don't let the cinnamon description deter you. The flavor is complex, savory, and very good! The garden pizzette is delicious. The perfect mixup of feta, mint, tomato, and cucumber...Chef's Kiss (dip in hummus and/or tzatziki for that extra, extra added flavor). We also loved the tzatziki/lebnah sauce. Perfect balance for our Americanized palate. My biggest complaint, would be consistency. I ordered twice in one week. Each meal was delicious, but noticeable different. Not a huge factor, but one I thought worth mentioning. Bread was whole wheat ... cool/ not a problem .. but also not my preference. All in all, a darn good meal! Sold side options. Fast casual Mediterranean/Lebanese : 4.5

    I usually go to the Cary location for multiple catering orders that I place per month. The people…read moreat the Cary location have been very polite, friendly and helpful. I was going to be closer to the Raleigh location this past month so I decided to go to the Raleigh location and see if they could do the same as cary. I went in and asked a young man he said that should not be a problem for me to put in my catering orders and then have my payment done a certain way at the register, as they usually do, in cary. I placed my order and got to the register and then the very nice girl that was there was going to ring me up. She wasn't sure how to manually enter my credit card information that I needed to give, so she asked what I'm going to assume was her manager or whoever was in charge that day? The woman turned around and looked at me as if I walked in and started in her face. Her face was so disgusted, twisted up, and snarled with disapproval. She asked me, with a huge attitude, "what was going on here?". I politely explained the situation, which is that, at the Cary location our company pays over the phone when I arrive. I handed her the phone to give her the credit card information and she was speaking to my boss (who is a very world-renowned doctor) about the payment info. She was so rude to him and said "well usually we don't do this but we'll do it this time". I informed her that from now on, since it was such a problem we will gladly go to the other location or just another restaurant in general. The younger people at the register were extremely friendly and polite and really made this experience the most positive thing from this whole trip to this location. As I was leaving the female who had the attitude earlier did say that she " was sorry, and that she just didn't know what she was walking into". At this point, I really did not care about an I'm sorry, because I will never go back to this location. I don't care who or what she is, but if she doesn't know what she's walking into, then the best idea for her(if she had any business or common sense)would be to approach it in a professional manner and not with a stank attitude. I have worked in doing catering sales,amahing businesses, throwing events, and ordering multiple catering orders for other businesses that I run. I have never and would never, approach anyone like this if I was uncertain of any situation. It puts a really bad look on their whole concept. I have already talked to multiple people about this and told all the physicians that I work with. I have also discussed this encounter with other people who do multiple orders for catering and other event networking groups. I will never be ordering from this location again. I hope whatever they do, they get it right, and start hiring people who appreciate having a job, to make sure that no one else feels so turned off by someone like this. I'm only giving a two stars for the Friends League kids that were at the counter and at the cash register

They weren't wrong. We were out on their patio on a summer evening, a mix of fans and a good cross breeze kept it nice and the vibey decor helped us learn into the summer heat. Shared plates, roasted flavors and a cocktail driven menu sets the theme. We started out with a few amazing spreads then shared large format fish, beef and veg. For the starters, the roasted carrots and the roasted eggplant spreads were served up with home made pita served piping hot! Both spreads were delicious, balancing savory and a hint of sweet with just enough spice to add depth w/o taking away from the natural veggie flavors. The fried haloumi was gobbled up so fast I almost didn't get a picture of it! For the mains, we had the fried fish which was ZOMG!!!! Flaky but still juicy, bathed in this east Asian inspired sauce and sprinkled with fresh herbs that gave the whole dish a pop! The kids destroyed most of it. The Short rib fell apart with a fork!! Enough said!! And the charted cabbage and broccoli was such a crowd favorite we almost got another order but had to leave room for dessert. The table shared the strawberry shortcake and I opted for an espresso martini that was both sweet and balanced and so smooth you could take it in one glug. The shortcake was a hit with the kids and parents! The cocktails were all perfectly balanced and the service was immaculate. No notes from me except to check this place out!!

We ordered 12 and thought maybe it was a fluke but all 12 were completely inedible and we threw them out immediately. The baklava was okay, nothing to write home about. Very simple syrup forward and you couldn't taste much else (we ordered the walnut). The namoora was stale. Very dry. Namoora should melt in your mouth with with a slight chew.

It was a watery mess. Overall, we won't be back. We spent over $75 on 4 items and left feeling hungry and bamboozled. There are other Lebanese food spots to visit in the Raleigh area, I will stick to those. Please do better when representing Lebanese cuisine. 15 workers behind the counter can seem like you're doing something right but in the end, it all comes down to the freshness and authenticity of what you are claiming to serve.
