Sorry for no picture as we devoured our meal. This is hands down the best authentic Greek food in the area! We shared the chicken & lamb platter with hummus, Greek salad, Pita bread and taziki. Meat was well seasoned but not salty and perfectly tender. Loved the simple Greek dressing on the salad and both the hummus and taziki was delicious. Staff is also friendly and you can tell take pride in their food. Don't let the outside or inside deter you. Our new favorite place! read more

We were excited to find another Mediterranean restaurant to try out. I ordered the chicken kabob rice platter which comes with rice, hummus, cucumber sauce and pita. The chicken was super moist but lacked a certain flavor to me that I can't put my finger on. The rice is definitely different than what I have ever had but the more I ate it, the more I enjoyed it. I will say that it had a lot of a specific seasoning. I'm not sure if it was thyme but I felt it was over powering. The cucumber sauce was really good as was the hummus. I love that they grill the pita to warm and toast it before serving. The hubs had the kofta rice platter. Aside from the rice, he enjoyed the dish here better than the other kabob place we have been to in Holly Springs. If I could take certain elements from each place and build my meal, I could build the perfect plate. lol Overall, the food was delicious and we will definitely be back. read more

Rice was delicious, homeade cucumber tzatziki and hummus are served alongside the kabob with warm pita! I love greek food and this hit the spot.

I work part-time in Holly Springs and for years there were not many options for lunch especially on Sundays. I love Greek and Mediterranean foods. Stuffed grape leaves is on the top of my food list.

Stingy with the pita but that is my only complaint. We ordered the rice platter with a chicken kabob, a gyro and a side of hummus. I would not recommend paying $4.99 for a side of hummus with the amount of pita we received. I am not sure if there was some confusion since we were supposed to get it with the side of hummus and my platter so maybe we only got enough for one of them. In the end, the food tasted great and I was a huge fan. read more

That really annoyed me but the food and service made up for it.

I ordered the rice platter with two chicken kabobs and a side of falafel for delivery a few days ago--very good! The kabobs were well seasoned and nicely grilled, the hummus and tzatziki were tasty, and the five falafel were large and crisp. The seasoned rice was good, too, but a bit salty for my taste. There was enough food that I saved over half of my order for dinner the next night (which was my goal!), and I still have more leftover. This place is a definite go-to if I decide to order in again. read more

After hearing and reading many good reviews , finally gave it a shot 50 minutes round trip. for me a disappointment for my wife she said it was ok . I had the "Fresh Greek Salad" with GYRO meat. tomatoes weren't red for one but also bitter. I hope someone forgot to shake greek dressing before putting in the to go cup other wise dressing sucks like ours did, all it taste like was vinegar not one speck of spice in it either. as for the GYRO meat it taste like cheap fried Bologna and greasy "pup liked it". only reason 3 star is my wife enjoyed hers after she subed Kens Greek dressing in place of Basmas on her salad with chicken kabob. for me if I'm going on an hr or more cruise to get greek, I'm going to kabob skewer at Tryon & Cary pkwy or searching out Gussy food truck. will not return to Basma unless in the area ! read more

Post run meal search with hanger. Yelp to the rescue! Small place in a strip of shops off of the Walmart shopping center. Typical Mediterranean style options: salads, gyros, platters, and a $3.99 fries/salad and drink combo. We tried the chicken pita, the gyro (lamb & steak), and a Greek salad. Chicken gyro was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Gyro was also quite good but meat was not cooked in-house on a vertical rotisserie. Wasn't bad but it's still not the same as having it cut right off and served. Salad was fresh and tasty. Place was bright, clean, and the staff was friendly. Pricing was average for this type of food. Definitely worth a stop if you want fresh and healthy food. read more

It's a nice bright and spacious restaurant with tons of shared outdoor seating. I ordered the Mediterranean platter. After leaving I realized I ordered and paid for 2 Kabobs but only received 1. The platter came with greek salad, Tzitziki, hummus, warm pita, stuffed grape leaves and I got the lamb kabob. The salad was average. Lettuce, feta, oil, lemon juice, oregano, tomato, and olive. The Kabob was well seasoned with a bit of spice. The hummus was delicious, creamy, and balanced. I often find restaurant hummus has to much tihini, but this was perfect. The Tzitziki wasn't the best I've had, but still good with the Kabob. The Dolmas/ stuffed grape leaves were interesting. This was my first time having them. There was a subtle licorice like taste, then start/vinegary. I liked the flavor overall but I was left with an unsavory mouth-feel. Not sure if it was because they were served cold or the ingredients in general. Finally, I completed my meal with a piece of pistachio baklava. Now, I've never really like baklava, but something told me to give the pistachio one a try. OMG, I have a new favorite dessert. The nutty, salty, flavor of the nut combined with the syrup, and the best crunchy texture EVER!! I purchased three more pieces to go!! For the platter, a drink, all the baklava and tip, I spent around $37. Nothing stood out about customer service. They weren't inviting, but they were rude either.

Glad I was paying attention!! Another guy had to come fix it. I was surprised to see that my gyro was actually a lamb kebab sandwich. It's the only gyro both in the states and the Middle East that was prepared this way. Thank goodness there was lots of taziki sauce because the kabob was spicier than I expected. I ordered stuffed grape leaves as my side but it was not delivered with my kabob so I had to go up and ask for it. Again I was surprised due to the filling which is usually rice. Not sure what they were stuffed with but I left most of it on my plate. There were both clean and dirty tables and booths. A Greek restaurant playing Spanish music?? Yep....

Absolutely love the spinach zaki here. Not really a fan of the falafel zaki but, if you are a lover…read moreof falafel, try it for yourself. Pita bread and hummus were fine, but I would try a hummus with a little spice or other flavor next time (if available). This is a good catering option for group meetings if you're looking for something vegetarian-friendly.

Best food ever!! I don't eat out that much because of food allergies but I LOVE this restaurant! Great quality - made fresh when you order. I ate at least 2 steak and cheeses a week when I was pregnant. I've taken my parents there a dozen times and they love it too. I also think that "Sweetandsour S." is quite naive OR doesn't actually know how much food costs . You spend at least $7-9 on a meal from a fast food place and I've never heard of a place that gives double meat away. read more

Decided to try this place on a whim! There was a small road sign and a parked box truck advertising…read morethe restaurant as soon as you enter Crossroads Shopping center off of US 1. It's a nice bright and spacious restaurant with tons of shared outdoor seating. I ordered the Mediterranean platter. After leaving I realized I ordered and paid for 2 Kabobs but only received 1. The platter came with greek salad, Tzitziki, hummus, warm pita, stuffed grape leaves and I got the lamb kabob. The salad was average. Lettuce, feta, oil, lemon juice, oregano, tomato, and olive. The Kabob was well seasoned with a bit of spice. The hummus was delicious, creamy, and balanced. I often find restaurant hummus has to much tihini, but this was perfect. The Tzitziki wasn't the best I've had, but still good with the Kabob. The Dolmas/ stuffed grape leaves were interesting. This was my first time having them. There was a subtle licorice like taste, then start/vinegary. I liked the flavor overall but I was left with an unsavory mouth-feel. Not sure if it was because they were served cold or the ingredients in general. Finally, I completed my meal with a piece of pistachio baklava. Now, I've never really like baklava, but something told me to give the pistachio one a try. OMG, I have a new favorite dessert. The nutty, salty, flavor of the nut combined with the syrup, and the best crunchy texture EVER!! I purchased three more pieces to go!! For the platter, a drink, all the baklava and tip, I spent around $37. Nothing stood out about customer service. They weren't inviting, but they were rude either. I'd go back for the hummus, to try the chicken solvalaki, and of course for more pistachio baklava!!

My first time here. I came for a late lunch. Only one other person in the restaurant…read more I ordered a lamb gyro and opted for the combo which is a drink and your choice of sides for $5. Some of the sides were an up charge even after the $5! I'm not sure if the guy at ghe register was new but he rang me up for a chicken gyro and then charged me $6 for the combo. Glad I was paying attention!! Another guy had to come fix it. I was surprised to see that my gyro was actually a lamb kebab sandwich. It's the only gyro both in the states and the Middle East that was prepared this way. Thank goodness there was lots of taziki sauce because the kabob was spicier than I expected. I ordered stuffed grape leaves as my side but it was not delivered with my kabob so I had to go up and ask for it. Again I was surprised due to the filling which is usually rice. Not sure what they were stuffed with but I left most of it on my plate. There were both clean and dirty tables and booths. A Greek restaurant playing Spanish music?? Yep.... Well, at least the tea was good.

It took me way too long to come back to this Mediterranean restaurant…read more The set up is still the same. I went at an "off" time between lunch and dinner so there was no one else there, but several people came in for take out. There was nice music playing in the background that I enjoyed. I got a lamb kabob with rice and salad and a pita. It was served quickly and was hot when I received it...literally just off the grill. Lamb is hard to get right but these guys really hit the spot. It was full of flavor and spiced just right. The salad and dressing were fresh . I'm glad I stopped here and will not take so long to return again.

It comes with one olive, one cucumber slice, one small tomato slice, and a VERY light sprinkling of feta cheese. There should really be 3 times this amount to make a good salad.

Kind of average greek food. Reminds me of a reincarnation of greek fiesta from years ago, but still…read morenot quite as good. The space itself is great, well curated decor, nice ambiance, and well kept overall. The service was also friendly and fairly efficient, portions were plentiful but prices were a tad high imo. The dishes were not bad, jsut lacking any flavor really, seemed like there was some skimping on seasonings and sauces. Another thing, when asked they stated their chicken was halal along with their lamb. however, there are no lamb options, just lamb mixed with beef, which is not halal...so...that made no sense, why would one take halal meat and mix it with non halal meat, effectively making it all non halal, and then on top of that not offer anything with just the halal lamb. Anyways, while this may not affect everybody I wonder if this is actually teh case or just a case of miscommunication.

I usually order the two chicken skewer kabobs with rice, a super salad, and the jalapeño cilantro hummus. The hummus is *so* good that I often grab a small container to take with me when I travel. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients, especially with olive oil as a base. They offer both fresh pita and gluten-free pita, which is great for anyone with dietary restrictions. Honestly, I could make a meal just out of all the sides--they're that good. The menu is consistently solid, and I feel like you really can't go wrong with anything you order. It's a perfect spot for a low-key lunch or dinner. Also worth noting: on Tuesdays, kids eat free with a paying adult, which is a great bonus for families. Highly recommend!

The portions are very generous, so if you can't finish your meal, it's easy to take the leftovers home. They conveniently provide to-go containers and bags for customers. One thing I found a bit challenging was the ordering process. There is a huge selection of food, which can be overwhelming for first-time visitors. I would have appreciated a little more guidance from the staff when making my choices, as I think it would have helped me order more confidently. Overall, it's a good place with plenty of options and great portion sizes.

The prices are great too for how big and filling of a wrap it is. The service was extremely fast and the woman who made it was friendly and patient.

A free parking garage is located across the street. Servers were very friendly adn helpful when we visited for lunch today. I chose a build-your-own bowl with grilled chicken, and my friend got a wrap with lamb (his favorite!). Our food was well cooked and seasoned, and seating was comfortable and plentiful. Because they serve the businesses around them, they are only open on weekdays until 5 p.m., and they're closed on weekends.
