This used to be the go to spot for some shawarma with fries. But the quality has gone downhill and the last time I went and brought food in person it was cold and had barely any meat. 3 years ago this place would have gotten a 4/5. Filipino food is subpar. The chicken skewers are the only think that gives this place an extra star from 1 currently even though it's almost always overcooked. read more

Local joint in a strip mall. I went for the filipino food of course. We ordered a few items and all were on par. If you are looking for pancit or chicken adobo and just need to get your fix, give it a try. I drove 25mins so not sure if I would go just for the food. read more

Love this small family business! The food is always delicious and the service is incredibly kind and efficient. I haven't tried the Mediterranean food yet but the Filipino food is traditional and comforting read more

went in on a whim and saw good reviews. Place is truly awful and overpriced. I like hole in the wall places, but this is terrible. Living off very old reviews I ordered a beef and lamb platter. Pile of rice could have served a third world nation for a day and the 5 tiny meat triangles came straight out of the freezer. flavorless for $20 lunch. This may be the worst meal I've had in sometime. Do not recommend. read more

Got the rice noodles and their chicken skewers. This place is amazing and well priced. We've also catered with them for parties, and the food is always fresh and hot. Definitely recommend! read more

MediterrAsian Bistro - Rice noodles (Filipino Pancit) - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

MediterrAsian Bistro is very clean, humble and plain looking, which makes the food the star. Their name sounds like they would have a mix of the two cuisines in their offerings. Instead, Mediterranean food is on one side of the menu, and Asian on the other. I wondered if one cuisine would be better, but we really liked both. Order and pay at the counter, and they'll quickly bring your food to the table. Our food came on huge ceramic plates with Mickey Mouse embossed on them! My friend enjoyed his huge plate of garlic fried rice with chicken (he ate the whole thing!), and I thought my chicken kabob platter with rice, grape leaves and falafel was at least as good as I've had at any other Mediterranean restaurant in the area. Prices are about what you'd expect to pay, and the portion sizes were large. read more

This is a hidden gem in a sea of fast food and chain restaurants. MediterrAsian has a very nondescript storefront with a eclectic menu consisting of Mediterranean staples with some Filipino specialties. The inside is equally low key. You order at the counter & they bring the food to you. Since good Filipino food is hard to find in this area, we decided to order some of their specialties. We ordered a lumpia appetizer, chicken adobo & the bbq chicken skewers. Lumpias were a generous portion and came out piping hot with sweet chili dipping sauce. Filling was very flavorful. Chicken adobo was a generous portion served with jasmine rice and strangely, tabbouleh salad. It was flavorful and well made. The stand-out dish was the BBQ chicken skewers. You get 3 generous skewers of well marinated dark meat chicken. The flavor was reminiscent of Chinese BBQ pork (char siu) and had a wonderful slightly charred flavor. It was absolutely delicious! This was also served with jasmine rice and tabbouleh salad. Will definitely be keeping this on our list of go-to places! read more

I'll be upfront, I didn't know what to expect with this combination but I was pleasantly surprised. Ambiance: 3.5/5 - Plenty of booths to sit in but not much decor and I saw a lot more people getting food for takeout rather than eating in. Pricing: 5/5 - the portions are fantastic for the price! The grilled lamb platter was $16 which came with rice, pita and one side. Food: 4/5 - The lumpia is a must have here. The cauliflower side was flavorful and I enjoyed the lamb although it was a bit chewy. Rice were a tad dry but nothing too crazy. Service: 5/5 - Friendly staff and food came out super quick! read more

Overall, this is a great place for Filipino food. The owner is very nice and personable. We enjoy chatting with her when we go in. It's a nice family run restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy inside. It is clean and well-maintained. The food does take a little longer to come out since it is cooked fresh, especially if it is busy. The food is solid. I love the BBQ kebabs, Tabbouleh, and French Fries. They ate packed with flavor and well-seasoned. The steak and onions is sooooo good. My husband loves their gyros. If you love Filipino food, this is the place. My only complaint is I do miss their AYCE buffet. read more

I noticed this spot when I was out shopping and decided to give it a try. I enjoy Asian food and this place offers a lot of different options. Customer service was cool and the inside is a little outdated but the food is the star! I ordered filipino adobo chicken and it was incredibly delicious. It was hot, fresh and full of flavor. I'll definitely be back soon to try other menu items read more

3 chicken barbecue skewers with rice for $14 = not worth it. Menu is unique mix of Filipino and Mediterranean but neither excels in quality. Also eating Halo Halo - there might've been an insect in it - no kidding. Also curry chicken before and chicken was so dry! Sad that is the only Filipino restaurant in the area. read more

This restaurant is close to our new house but we had never tried it until recently. It's kind of odd to see a place that serves both Mediterranean and Filipino food, but just pick one and go with it. You order and pay at the counter, and they'll bring your food out when it's ready. I ordered chicken adobo and my wife got a Greek salad. I've only had homemade adobo in a crockpot so I don't have a lot to compare it to. The flavor was good but I was kind of put off by the basically raw onions it came with -- I would have preferred them cooked some more. It is a small mom and pop shop, and they were trying to hire some help. Prices were reasonable. We'll consider them again. read more

Not a fusion restaurant. Not a Buffet. There's a Mediterranean menu and a Filipino menu. Both were good with a lot of flavor. Slight change from traditional flavors of each. Chefs are Filipino with a background in Mediterranean cooking. Healthy portions. read more

Love their halo-halo and spring rolls. Great food and customer service. We will definitely be back.

Always delicious food choices. Satisfies my Filipino food craving with Mediterranean food also if I choose I wish their buffet would come back. I make a point to eat here whenever I visit the area. read more

Very good service! Food was delicious, sushi were ok, great drinks! Nice atmosphere, great service and nice setting inside!

Food was overpriced for what I ordered. Filipino chicken skewers were dry (easy to do with breast meat - thigh meat is superior for Asian cuisine) and they were unfortunately over-cooked too. The rice portion was generous but the ratio of rice to skewers & soup were noticeably off. My husband ordered a gyro, which he liked. The tzatziki was tasty. He ordered a side of hummus which was under seasoned. We also ordered a side of grilled plantains. They were plain, not caramelized as we expected they would be. Maybe tonight was an off night for them since we seem to have an unpopular opinion. Can't say we'll be back any time soon but we are willing to try it again. read more

If you ever just want a taste of an Asian mom's cooking, please check out MediterrAsian Bistro. Their chicken adobo with rice is so flavorful! My absolute favorite is their chicken egg rolls (chicken lumpia). I could literally eat my weight in them if nobody stopped me. Their chicken and ginger soup is absolutely delicious as well-- perfect for a cold night. They have their seating spaces out for social distancing, but their food is just as delicious to-go. :) read more

My friend and I came here for lunch go check out their Filipino dishes. I had never tried Filipino cuisine before and was quite impressed. The portions were large and the flavors were great! We had ordered lumpia, pancit, chicken adobo, and bistek. Some of the meat was dry but I felt that was compensated by flavor. My favorite is definitely lumpia. It's a great place for takeout and casual dine in. The service at the ordering counter was great and the woman who helped us was very kind. Otherwise there wasn't really service since it was more of a take-out place than a dine in restaurant. It's great comfort food and I would definitely return when I'm craving Filipino food. read more

The food is excellent but the customer service is horrible. The older short guy snatched my money out my hand and had my change flying all over the place. They don't greet you when you walk in. This alone made me feel uncomfortable and not welcomed. read more

I stopped by to grab lunch bc I was in the area. In an effort to sample a few different options, I got the veggie platter. I ordered the eggplant, cauliflower, and hummus. I also ordered some baklava and sadly, they failed to put it in the to go packaging that I requested. The eggplant was my least favorite but really enjoyed the cauliflower. The hummus and pita bread were also really good! read more

Tl;dr: Masarap! Naimas! DELICIOUS! Just moved to the area from Portland, OR so I was nervous about finding a filipino restaurant since I was used to being spoiled by the vast array of food carts and restaurants in Portland. I did not have to worry because this place was just down the road from where we moved to. My (very filipino) parents came with me to help us move so we decided that we wanted to eat some filipino food after a long road trip across the country. Upon walking in, my parents felt very good about the restaurant because you can always smell good food before you eat it. The wonderful woman who took our order pegged us for being filipino almost immediately so my parent's comfort level increased ever more so. We got a variety of different dishes including lumpia, sinigang (hot an sour soup), beef and lamb gyro, and two delhi kebab plates. The hot and sour tamarind soup was the best my mom has ever tasted (second to her own, of course). Even on a hot day in Durham, it "hit the spot". The beef and lamb gyro was the perfect size and had the perfect ratio of filling to sauce to protein. The delhi kebab plates came with two sides. My dad and I area basically the same person so we both got the same two sides: adobo rice and plantains. The platter is served with basmati rice, but we're filipino so of course we could eat even more rice. Everything was tasty and well seasoned. The meat was not dry, and the portions were large. We had enough for dinner later! The staff (family?) that work there are amazing and very welcoming. Treat them well, because they are treating you to a very delicious meal. EAT HERE, and go back soon. read more

Overall disappointing except for the tzatziki which didn't taste like paste! I wish I could say the same for the rest. I had the gyro and the falafel was over cooked and hard as a rock. The fattoush could have used more marinade and there was no torn up pieces of pita in it. I tried the Filipino rice noodles and it looked nothing like the photo which showed vegetables in it but this was just a clump of congealed bland noodles that were unsavory and unappealing due to the sticky texture. Granted, I didn't try a lot of things so maybe the other items are better but the vegetarian items I had don't warrant another try, at least for me. read more

The food is always delicious whether dine in, pick up, or delivery. I recommend the gyro, eggplant, cauliflower, and fried plantains. Their hummus is also delicious, but I love the garlic in the other veggies. I give it five stars for food and would only take .5 off if I could for atmosphere. The restaurant has so much potential to be bigger than it is. read more

The Filipino grilled bbq chicken skewers are so yummy! Chicken adobo & garlic fries are also great.

Great food - we ordered barbecue chicken skewers with basmati rice and side of chicken soup and gyro salad. Everything came out fresh, moist and delicious! Will definitely eat here again! read more

Great food and value for the price. I got the chicken kebob platter (pictured) with the grape leaves and hummus on the side. The rice was delicious and the hummus was some of the best that I have had. I have had the hummus here in the past and it wasn't as good so it seems to be hit or miss. I also ordered the filipino chicken adobo which comes with plenty of chicken and rice - enough for 2 meals. The flavor is amazing and this is one of my favorite items on the menu. Due to COVID, I ordered via phone and it took about 20 mins for it to be ready. Not sure if curbside is offered, but I went inside to pick it up and it was a pretty quick process. read more

I tried MediterrAsian Bistro for dinner not long ago (via Doordash) and was very happy with my meal. All I had was a small Greek salad with gyro meat, pita bread, and the grilled BBQ chicken skewer appetizer. The meat on the skewers (you get five) was absolutely awesome -- just the right amount of sauce and charcoal. They tasted like they had just come off of a backyard grill -- so good that I can't wait to try MediterrAsian Bistro again just to savor another order of them. The menu overall is a mix of Mediterranean and Filipino specialities -- based on my experience I don't think you can wrong with anything on it, and I'll definitely be back. read more

How can you serve a bad Greek salad? Let me count the ways: unripe tomatoes, unpeeled cucumber, small green Kalamata(!!?) olives actually Spanish, wilted lettuce, browned green peppers, sugared balsamic dressing. With tasteless gyro meat slices 1/2 inch thick, ungriddled pita. Wow! read more

This place is great in my opinion! The lumpia is delicious, the Gyro is very good. I've ordered from this restaurant many times and will continue to do so. Food is packed well. read more

Their Tapsilog, chicken bbq, and beef bistek are to die for. Excellent customer service.

The food was decent tasting, but kind of overpriced. I ordered chicken adobo which didn't taste very authentic.. However, I liked the lumpia rolls the best! The atmosphere was very nice and the servers were amazing. I would definitely go back but I think I would have to try something different next time! read more

I have never had such different experiences. My office gets this place catered very frequently and everyone loves it. So I enthusiastically brought my dad here for lunch one Saturday. What a mistake that turned out to be... We came in right after 12pm so we were some of the first customers of the day. All of my favorite dishes from catering were on the buffet but they were all cold, clearly prepared some time other than today. The eggplant was shockingly cold, as was the cauliflower. The chicken skewers were warm but had a very strange rubbery texture. The noodles were room temperature. The tabouleh and baklava were fine, but not particularly fresh. It was scary how all of these items were sitting on a steam table. My dad used to be in the restaurant business and he said it was a health code violation to throw cold food on a steam table to heat up slowly- that's how bacteria grows and people get sick. I thought if catering was good the restaurant itself must be amazing. How wrong I was. So unfortunate but I won't be back, my opinion of them will be forever changed, and I just hope I don't get sick! read more

There is some weirdness with the name of this place - it's otherwise listed as "Baba Ghannouj Mediterranean Bistro", but this and that are the same place. Recently got some Door Dash delivery from here, and it was surprisingly good. Prices are very reasonable and the selection was really quite nice. The hummus is super flavorful, always a good sign. Opted for the Curry Chicken Platter with basmati rice, and was very impressed. The curry chicken was fall apart tender and crazy flavorful. Really could have kept eating it, despite there being more than I could/should have eaten in one sitting. Will definitely be back to try more here! read more

Great service in quality of food, speed, and accuracy of order taking. Every time I have visited the staff is working hard to get food out of the door. Even if there are instances when they are busy and could be struggling to meet a high demand on a Friday, you see them hustling to get your food ready quickly. Never do you see anyone resting on their laurels or playing around whenever the line is long. This business is serious and professional when it comes to service, execution, and delivery. read more

Definitely an odd looking menu but the place smelled incredible. I got the lamb and beef gyro platter and everything was delicious. Took it to go and grabbed some drinks at Sam's. A little confusing about where and how to order but the food was great. read more
