Chicken zaki, extra protein bowl

The workers are sweet and the food is always fresh! My favorite is the chicken Zaki sandwich and to create my own bowl with chicken and falafel

Mediterranean Platter
Mike B.

Good Mediterranean fare in a fast casual setting. It's an order at the counter, they bring the food to the table place, where you build your own meal (ala Moe's or Chipotle). A variety of Mediterranean choices on the menu in a wide assortment of combinations. I tried the Mediterranean Platter, which is jasmin chicken, Greek salad, and a stuffed grape leaf, plus hummus, tzatziki and a toasted pita, quartered. The jasmin chicken is cooked on a spit, in the same manner as the gyro meat. It's nicely spiced, moist and flavorful. Hummus and tzatziki are sharp and garlicky. It's a nice sized platter with nice fresh ingredients. Also tried a custom built bowl, with romaine lettuce, chickpeas, hummus, tzatziki topped with gyro meat, with toasted pita. Another tasty combination with fresh ingredients and generous portions. The food is good, service quick and friendly, dining area neat & clean. Nothing innovative or outstanding, but solid Mediterranean food.

Chicken Pesto Panini
Jasmine N.

This place is a pretty decent lunch option. I'm always on the go and got tired of the traditional fast food spots. Although this is a chain as well, the food is always good. Locations can vary as the one on Six Forks rd gives me old Subway restaurant vibes. Falls of Neuse is more aesthetically pleasing and cleaner. Plus I like the service better at that location. Their chicken ziki is like a Mediterranean quesadilla and was good. The pesto chicken panini was good too. Just note that their pesto is more of a mayo pesto, not the simple green sauce you'd see elsewhere. My only quam is when I get a Greek salad, give a sista more than ONE olive. I mean I am in the name of the restaurant

I am a falafel connoisseur and I really enjoy their falafel panini here. I've been a few times and I've only had the falafel panini, that should tell you something. The french fries are really good too. Service is good and workers are friendly. Their dining room is currently open. Wait time was about 15 min for food to be made, so maybe call ahead if you're in a rush.

Chicken bowl with, rice, feta cheese, slaw, cucumber salad. Delicious

I was so excited to try Jasmin and Olivz it's really convenient to where I live and because it was new. So for dinner I knew this would be the best place for us. I was a little underwhelmed by the service but the food was good. The first thing I noticed was the parking. The restaurant is situated inside of a shopping center. So the parking is decent. I was able to get a parking space right in the front which was awesome. When I walked in the line was a little long but it moved quickly. When I got up to the counter to place my order there was a young girl there taking the orders, she didn't seem very knowledgeable of the menu. But I'm assuming the lady whom was standing behind her was the owner or manager. She immediately took over. The line then became longer because she was struggling. When I got to the register, the guy needed help figuring out the menu which was fine. I ended up paying about $23 dollars for our meal. I ordered a chicken and lamb gyro and then a kids chicken with rice. The food on the other hand was absolutely delicious. I loved everything about it! I would definitely go back but I think that the staff had to learn the menu a little bit better. Overall good food, service needs improvement and clean restaurant

Here is the platter I purchased and had not touched. The amount of protein in this chicken platter is ridiculous and

I took a chance on visiting this establishment (North Raleigh location on Falls of Neuse) for the first time the other day. All previous reviews I read were favorable. Service was quick once I placed my order. The mistake I made was not checking my order before leaving the establishment and returning home. Once I returned home and was prepared to dine, I noticed the portion of protein (chicken platter) was next to nothing and the protein looked to be old and/or overcooked. When I reached out to the establishment via phone, each person I spoke with could not give me the name of the manager, but ultimately offered me double the amount of protein on my next visit. When I did return the next day, the employee only offered double protein and refused to replace the entire order. Needless to say, I WILL NOT RETURN TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. Its apparent that management does little to nothing regarding CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Today I decided to try something different from their menu. Their food is tasty, but the amount of chicken they serve on the chicken & rice plate is a joke. Where's the rest of the chicken to go with the rice?? like come on now!!!!

Bland, clumpy rice and spicy chicken.

I have been visiting this location since it opened. I went today to grab lunch and was extremely disappointed. I don't know if they're under new management but staff was unfriendly and portions were ridiculous small. The chicken has been spicier than usual and the rice had no flavor. This has been for the past few visits. I think we're done with them.

Before eating here, I wasn't a fan of Mediterranean food. I've tried multiple places (I have a friend that's really into it) and I haven't been impressed. Every time I come in, everyone is very nice and friendly. The food is consistently delicious. I've never had a bad experience here. I would eat here for lunch daily if I could. Oh, and their tea and lemonade is delishhhh!

Greek salad with chicken
Theresa H.

One of the most authentic Mediterranean place around Raleigh. Staff is super friendly, vegetables are very fresh! Definitely a delicious healthy option!

Chicken platter with hummus, tabouli, and grape leaves = you made a wise decision. Healthy and delicious. Highly recommended.

Food: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5 We started with the Ajja platter, which came with whipped feta, za'atar oil, eggplant dip, lemon hummus, and three pieces of bread. The whipped feta was my favorite, topped with strawberry jam and absolutely delicious. We ended up ordering an extra basket of bread ($7.50) because we ran out quickly. The bulgur salad was hands down the best thing I ate all night. I'll return for that alone and will probably order a second one to-go for lunch the next day. It had some kind of crunchy element that made the texture incredible. For our main, we had the short rib. The flavors were excellent and I can see why it's so highly reviewed. That said, at $48, I'm not sure the portion size justified the price. We each had two relatively small pieces and some vegetables. Drink-wise, I ordered the espresso martini ($18). It was a fantastic espresso martini, one of the better ones I've had, but again, the size made the price feel a little steep. My spouse ordered the Old Fashioned, which was also excellent and came with a nice orange twist. The restaurant itself is very cute inside with great décor and interesting seating areas. The back patio is beautiful, and according to owner Paul (who was incredibly friendly), they're opening a boat bar and outdoor kitchen, which sounds like it will make the space even better! The only reason I didn't rate the ambiance higher was that it felt a little warm inside during our visit. However, it sounded like they were dealing with a power-related issue, and with the unusually hot weather we've been having, I suspect the older building was having a hard time keeping up. It wouldn't keep me from returning, but I'd probably wait until the fall just in case. I worry as it gets hotter this summer it may always be a little warm. Our total for two people, an appetizer, salad, entrée, and two alcoholic drinks, was about $140 including tax, plus a 3% credit card surcharge (before tip). I'll definitely be back for the bulgur salad and to check out the outdoor space this fall! A boat bar sounds so cool! Parking: Street parking, a small side lot, or neighboring business lots after 5 PM!

One of our most exciting and flavorful dining experience in months. Our downtown Raleigh dining…read morescene has amazing options, and Madre has stayed under our radar for no particular reason. We dined at their lovely bar back in the first months of their opening, and it was good. We had met the general manager, Red, and were impressed with the flavors of our one appetizer, Calabrian Chicken, yet we never rushed back. Now, we feel compelled to return ASAP to enjoy these exceptional flavors, fabulous teamwork system of service, and a comfortable chic atmosphere. The place was happening at 5:45 pm on our recent dining night out with friends. Grateful to have a reservation we were seated at a very comfortable banquette type of seating. It felt like dining in a friend's home. Our server, William, is excellent at his job. Very efficient, great input on food choices, and quite personable. The meal started off with a burst of flavor as we enjoyed their fairly new offering of a ceviche called Eye of the Tiger that featured a sauce you can never get enough of. Wish their bread service was a bit more inspired, but the Le Farm bread did soak up some of the various sauces sent out from a very inspired kitchen team. Food runners help make certain the tapas come out fresh and hot when needed. They are a friendly group of hospitality workers who seem to genuinely enjoy their work and treat their guests with sincere appreciation. It all starts at the top, and GM Red is a personable and sound leader. We loved the Chef's pasta, our octopus dish was stellar, the Calabrian Chicken almost stole the show, but the unctuous flavors on the plate of the Seared Halloumi was hands down my favorite. I love how this culinary team can crank out such outstanding flavors table to table and patron to patron without missing a beat. The energy in the room must feed their souls & for that we are grateful. Lastly I wish to mention the thoughtfully curated wine list where my husband discovered a treasure of a wine from the Familia Torres brand. It was exquisite and paired perfectly with Madre's flavors. Our friend who frequent their bar often rave about their Mezcal margarita! Another visit. See you soon Madre familia!

Truly, though, I'm here often and love it - my dear friend and I are both heavy-duty allergy kids and the Madre squad is exquisite at managing cross-contamination and adapting plates to be accommodating. If you have nothing else, order the cauliflower with the green goddess dressing. Maybe order that two or three times, actually. The salchipapas are probably my favorite app in Raleigh. Also, the owners are both super cute, and the Bryan Costello design is magnifique. I would hire that man to redo my entire home to feel like Madre.

We ordered the grape leaves, baklava, namoora and tabbouli. I am Lebanese and these are staples in our home. The grape leaves were extremely dry and tough. The rice was very undercooked and the leaves themselves were so dry and tough we could barely chew through them. 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. This was again, tough and stale. We threw those out as well. Lastly, our favorite salad, tabbouli. The lemon taste was nonexistent. The parsley wasn't chopped fine as Tabbouli should be. 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.

It was frustrating because that's one of the main dishes people go there for. What really stopped me from giving this place a higher rating was the condition of the men's bathroom. It was pretty gross, with visible mold and a wet towel on the floor that looked like it was there because of a leaking toilet. A lot of people say the bathroom reflects how clean the restaurant is overall, and honestly that crossed my mind while eating there. The food and service were good, but the restaurant really needs to improve the cleanliness and do a better job keeping popular menu items available.

His service was greatly appreciated as all of us wanted to make it somewhere to watch The Canes game! He was efficient with opening the wine and getting our dinner orders in right away. Thank you Diondre for a great start to our evening. All of us raved over our food. Two of our friends had the Tomahawk Pork Chop featuring spinach, barrel-aged feta, herb aioli, and yummy Greek lemon potatoes. Both people agreed the kitchen team cooked them perfectly. One person absolutely loved his fire-roasted lamb chops that also had the delicious Greek lemon potatoes. Another one of our friends loved her Chicken penne Mykonos which we have ordered to-go many times. It looks even better in the restaurant as it has spinach, feta, mushrooms, tomatoes, white wine lemon cream sauce, and parmesan. This dish is a must try when you visit Taverna Agora in downtown Raleigh. Lastly, someone at the table exclaimed that their grilled salmon was one of the best salmon dishes he had ever enjoyed as its unique presentation features pickled beetroot, sautéed spinach, and a lemon caper sauce. I had the Poseidon Branzino which was fabulous. The dish had roasted branzino, medley of sautéed cherry tomatoes and onions, fresh herb rice, and skordalia (I had to look up what that is - a fascinating Greek garlic puree). The blending of all those flavors made for a scrumptious dinner, and thanks to the kitchen team for preparing it perfectly so that I could even eat the skin of the fish. We shared two bottles of Assyrtiko wine which is one of our favorite Greek wines after visiting Greece a few years ago. The wine list at Taverna is simple but thorough and fun to experiment with.

At around $40, it was a bit pricey, but lamb isn't cheap these days and, honestly, most dining out isn't either. Fortunately, the portion was generous and well worth it. I took nearly half of it home and enjoyed it again for lunch the next day. Overall, the restaurant is beautiful, the service was good, and the food was delicious. It's hard to ask for much more than that. I'd definitely come back.
