The Greek salad had little to no feta cheese, the tomatoes were old, and maybe 3 black olives (not kalamatas). The chicken shawarma was not good, had like 3/4 crinkle cut fries stuffed in it, the tzatziki was more like Mayo. This is not greek food. Also left my side off of my to go order. Large Greek salad and chicken shawarma for $26, bad deal. 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

Good mix of Mediterranean and Filipino food. I grew up in the Philippines so I'm always on lookout for good tasting Pinoy food and this place doesn't disappoint. The pansit (noodles) and chicken BBQ were delicious. Will go back. read more

MediterrAsian Bistro - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Wonderful spot for a mix of Asian & Mediterranean food. Most may not be aware that a lot of muslims live in the Philippines; which has created a cool blend of foods. This is a great place to explore and the prices are SUPER affordable. Great customer service and clean. Before COVID-19, there was a buffet option, but now is all take out and some dine in. read more

So I thought I ordered a gyro wrap but I received gyro meat over rice. However it was delicious! The beef and lamb meat was so good and so was the rice. The humus was just okay. I added some paprika to my humus which gave it some more flavor. The pita bread was good. I also ordered the chicken spring roll appetizer which was also really good. I'll be back to hopefully try the gyro wrap with Taziki sauce! read more

Came back to order halo halo(yum!) , also ended up ordering food from the menu: beef bistek. That dish was very flavorful, although the meat was on the dry side, but it was still a delicious meal. read more

Clean in there and staff was friendly. However, I was disappointed with the falafel hummus wrap. Overall, it had a slightly bitter flavor and was not enjoyable to eat. I felt like I was eating it more so to avoid wasting my money and less because it actually tasted good. I was shocked to find that the fried cauliflower is served cold, which makes it less appealing to me(I ordered over the phone after looking at the menu online, somehow I must've missed that detail). The plantains were of the right ripeness and cooked well, but they aren't worth me going back. My guess is that their Asian style food is better than the Mediterranean offerings, but I don't think I'll be going back to find out. read more

What a gem! This place is absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to return (frequently) positioned next to shiki sushi and bean traders it's easy to come often! We ordered from the buffet since everything looked fresh and hot. Highlights - Filipino chicken skewers -plantains -coconut ginger chicken soup -chicken spring rolls -Taziki sauce and gyro meat -fried eggplant Seriously so yum! I noticed the menu had changed between Weekend and weekday and included falafel and grape leaves midweek! When doing take out try to get the veg wrap with EXTRA garlic sauce. It's really phenomenal! The eggplant and cauliflower are so well seasoned. And although fried we never feel heavy after read more

They're my go-to spot for lunch whenever I am in the Durham area. I have mostly tried their wraps, and none of them were even Okay-ish. All were delicious & super-awesome. Will continue visiting & suggest others to go there too. They have lunch buffet too, so would recommend folks to try that out! :) read more

Excellent meal, I had the Red curry with shrimp and brown rice. A generous portion that was absolutely delicious. One of the best Thai curry's that I have eaten. read more

Delicious Arabic/Filipino food. It was a pleasant surprise for the one day we spent in Raleigh.

Food was great so I would say five stars for the food. The ambience laughed a lot. So I knocked off one star. All in all great place to get Mediterranean food read more

This was my first time trying MediterrAsian Bistro. I went during lunch and found that they have a delicious buffet. I don't normally like buffet meals but almost everything I tried was delicious. They provide and prepare Asian/Thai and Mediterranean style dishes. I will definitely come back but I look forward to seeing what else is offered besides the buffet. read more

Love the combination of Philippino and middle-eastern cuisine! Never seen such a combo before but they definitely are a success! Ive ordered a few times from here and they have impressed every single time! Although, as a true middle eastern by blood, I should say their hummus is not the best. However, you definitely should try their fried eggplant- délicieux!! read more

Kinda stumbled across this place on accident and glad I did. I have been wanting Filipino for a while now and it's no an Asian cuisine as readily available as Chinese or Japanese so when I saw they had a lunch buffet I was like let's do it!!! The chicken adobo was so yummy with the perfect amount of vinegar flavor. The grilled chicken skewer was also delicious although some pieces were over cooked others were perfectly delicious. The lumpia was also decent as well as the pancit. In true buffet fashion I sampled mostly everything. In conclusion I think the Filipino portion outshines the Mediterranean portion, especially with places like Med Deli around although the baklava was pretty good. I'll definitely be back here because the food was really good and the price is reasonable. If I didn't get the buffet I'd get the adobo entree and experiment with the desserts. (Also the staff was really friendly). read more

So this is a Mediterranean/Filipino restaurant. From that knowledge alone, I had to try it! It's not a typical culinary combo. Combo, as in NOT fusion. Don't expect chicken adobo gyros (although that does sound tasty). My bewildered tastebuds aside, I appreciated the variety that MediterrAsian had available. I went in for the Sunday buffet. There were staples of each cuisine: Filipino like pancit and kare kare and Mediterranean like schwarma and hummus. The dessert bar was severely lacking: the fried banana spring roll and churro were cold and greasy and there were those weird little tasteless cakes that you often find at Chinese buffets. Nevertheless, when you're in the mood for an atypical lunch, MediterrAsian bistro is a solid go to. read more

Fantastic variety of flavors! From flavorful kebabs and tasty hummus to noodles and fried rice, this place will cover a wide variety of food you will find across Asia. Give them a try! read more

I decided to get take out from here since the new reviews all sounded great. I didn't like the old mediterranean place that used to be located here, but seems like recently they have changed it up into a new restaurant and now it's a mix of Asian and mediterranean food. They do have a buffet which looked good but I would recommend that for a dine in option. This is a good quick place for take out. I called ahead my order and it was ready for pick up in 10 minutes. I got the chicken gyro and made it into a combo. The prices are good and it's worth it to try out a side and get a drink. I got the hummus as my side and it came with extra pita. Even though they just fill one tiny side of the container with hummus, it is actually a big serving of hummus. I couldn't even finish it all and have some for leftovers! The chicken gyro was also huge and stuffed with a lot of chicken. It was hot and fresh. Next time I would probably ask for the tzatziki sauce on the side because there was a little too much in the wrap for me. read more

MediterrAsian Bistro - To go order: chicken gyro with hummus as a side - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

This was my first time and I think I'll do a better job with my choices next time. I had the grilled lamb platter and I found the lamb very dry. I had a surgery and if items are too dry I end up . The cauliflower was a good side but I expected it to be hot. The falafel was ok but i should have ordered a sauce for it. The fazuka salad was very good. The beef platter was moist and flavorful. The summer rolls are fried...my BF was thinking they were summer rolls... So he bad. Lol. The staff is sweet and friendly and bonused me with a soda. I see they have a filopeno fish dish a guy was eating on my way out... And I def want to try that!! I simmered the lamb and let it get softer so that's good. Maybe the chicken is better for me. Next time I'm sure EVERYTHING will be great and my review score will go up. Clean place. Wore masks. read more

I just chanced upon this place after shopping at Sprouts a few doors down. I got two things: 1) chicken BBQ is SO good! Juicy & tender and perfectly seasoned. 2) chicken adobo was a bit dry. The ladies there were very nice though and I'd be happy to go back and try more dishes! read more

We were shopping in the Southpointe area on a Saturday afternoon. We wanted something different for dinner. Thanks to Yelp for steering us right again. We love Mediterranean food and have wished for an AYCE option. Could hardly believe it when we saw the buffet option for $10.99 adults and $6.99. It's small, not a million buffet options but everything I tried was great. In particular we liked the Asian noodles, chicken skewers, lamb beef gyro meat, stuffed grape leaves, eggplant, Greek salad, hummus and tzatziki sauce. There was a good drink selection but it was charged extra. Yummy baklava dessert was included and we ate a lot! If you like good Mediterranean food you know it's hard to get a non buffet meal for $11. I'm excited to add this yummy option to our regular Southpointe dining favorites. Would recommend. read more

This place is amazing!! I've been coming here since they had their old name "Baba Ghannouj". My go to item is the Chicken Philly wrap.. it is soooo tasty!! The combo with fries is a great deal. Another favorite of mine are the gyros. I'm Greek so I am picky when it comes to finding good Mediterranean food! The food and service here are great- I highly recommend! read more

I was very excited about trying this place since I had never eaten Filipino food before. I had the chicken adobo which I won't order again because the chicken was extremely dry. My husband had the lamb platter & thought it was really good. We shared a order of lumpia which was delicious! Will likely try this restaurant again because there were other Filipino dishes on the menu that sounded very tasty. read more

So Mediterranean and Fillipino together is kind a strange combination, but I like strange so I thought I would give MediterrAsian Bistro a shot. As others have mentioned the buffet is pretty small. I tried a sampling from both sides of the ethnic ocean. The Fillipino chicken on a stick was ok, maybe a little overcooked in my opinion. The plantains were good, as was the rice. On the Med side, I liked the eggplant. The falafel was just ok as was the bread. There are definitely better places in the area strictly for Med food. Overall, not bad, and definitely a unique combination, but they might just want to expand the Fillipino part of the cuisine since that is the more unique of the two around these parts. read more

Food was a bit bland. I ordered a Greek salad and a chicken gyro. I had 2 olives and 2 tomatoes. The chicken didn't have any flavor so I'm glad I ordered extra tzaziki sauce. read more

Love this place! Staff is always friendly. Food is always delicious. You can smell it before you even walk in the door. All you can eat buffet. Very tasty. Varied. Lots to choose from. I especially enjoy their peanut sauce, ginger chicken brother, and bbq chicken skewers. Yum! read more

I got curry chicken(7/10 could use some more seasons for sure) with collards (10/10 my fav part!) and fattosh salad (7/10 seasoned really well and fresh) and baklava (6/10 not a lot of filling and supperrr sugary and buttery ) read more

This is a very affordable restaurant, but the ambience and food leave something to be desired. The dinner Mediterranean buffet was $10.99 per person. I'm vegetarian, and the hostess indicated which dishes were vegetarian. They did not have falafel at that time, so she brought out a tray of four falafel for me and my wife after we sat down. That was kind, and the falafel was hot, but it was also overcooked. My wife enjoyed the food, and she is a big fan of Mediterranean food, but I was not a fan of most of the vegetarian options. It just didn't taste very fresh. We concluded with rice pudding that was quite unsatisfactory with corn kernels in it and baklava that was sweet but low quality. We appreciated how affordable and casual it was, but we likely won't be coming back. read more

This is the only authentic Filipino restaurant is this area. The food and the superb staff, make the trek definitely worth it!

Nice Mediterranean and Phillipine combination. Don't forget to order fried plantains!

I was surprised by the Filipino-component of this restaurant. I walked in to grab a shawarma Dan's was happily surprised by the buffet of Filipino and Arabic cuisine. I will admit I am writing this review after eating here 3-4 times including once today. It's really good... particularly the bbq chicken on the skewers. Get the bbq chicken on the skewers! read more

This place was Baba Ghanouj before but now has turned into a delicious and authentic Filipino food spot PLUS has all the old Baba items as well that taste even better than before! Their buffet is so good, including all the favorites from mediterranean food mixed with the best Filipino food made super fresh and so delicious! A must try! They keep their buffet stacked with amazing flavor and always keep things fresh and new adding new items everytime I come! My girlfriend and I love coming here for lunch or dinner, and now they have even added the buffet as a takeout option! read more

Bottom line: really happy to have found this place. It's quirky, it's cheap, it's freaking delicious. Saw this place after leaving Shiki Sushi, and thought the name sounded like a very interesting combo. I didn't think Mediterranean and Filipino cuisines would really work together. I was wrong. This place was DELICIOUS. We ordered the buffet (which was maybe $11), and you can go back up as many times as you want. I got a little of everything and it was all yummy. My vegan friend was also able to find plenty to fill his plate. It's kind of a hole in the wall, and the ambiance is a little lackluster. This is not the place for a first date, but if you and your friends are looking to stuff your faces with delicious food and chat, you will not be disappointed. I'm just hoping more people find out about this place so that it stays open. So good! read more

As far as buffets are concerned, this is as good as it gets. A variety of dishes with different culinary inspirations. They cater to the carnivores and the vegetarians alike. Having only went to the lunch buffet, they constantly placed small amounts of fresh food out. While it may agitate some that they run out of things, within five minutes, there's a completely fresh batch. I'd rather have that than a surplus of food cooked in the morning that has been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Service was incredibly friendly for lunch, as both ladies were working incredibly hard and made it a point to see if I had any questions. Will definitely be back! read more

I'm being generous w/the stars - based only on my Sunday buffet meal it would be 2 stars. There was a drabness about the place that bothered me to start with... windows are smeary, there hand-written signs warning that the bathrooms are not public and the 'hostess' was sooo not interested in being there (but her phone was simply captivating). Maybe getting there at 5:15 on Sunday was a bad time for a dinner buffet, maybe the flavors were not for me but I found the selection poor, not fresh, not hot and, in some cases, kinda' stinky (the Filipino noodle dishes smelled like fish food and were stone cold). There was no pita bread even after many requests. Now, to be fair, the older man behind the counter seemed to be trying his best... as the time passed and other patrons wandered in he (and a woman behind the counter) began tossing in freshly cooked chicken satays and gyros meat patties... Eventually pitas appeared. They have an odd way of displaying some of the buffet choices - putting plastic wrap over the chafing dishes and piling small amounts of food to float on the wrap - no wonder so many things were cold! The satays were ok, the gyros meat was ok, the chicken tamarind soup was kinda' terrible ... I think it was supposed to be sour but it also tasted and smelled a bit spoiled... To be fair some other people seemed happy with their food Now I have gotten chicken shawarmas to go from here and always they have been ok ... and I'll prob. get them in the future (I live pretty close) but Sunday was a sad buffet. I love supporting small local places... I admire hard work... . I love not having to go far for a meal out and a $10 buffet has an obvious appeal but ... Even the older man panting next to our table piling up the satays and gyros meats and muttering apologies couldn't make things worthwhile. read more

I did the Saturday lunch buffet. It was a reasonable price and the food was really good! I don't think they really need the Mediterranean piece so much but it definitely gives you more variety to pick from. My favorite items were the BBQ chicken skewers and the adobo chicken - I went back for more of each of those, and also the lumpia. I haven't seen a ton of Filipino food around this area, but I can tell you this place does it right. Definitely check it out! I wish I was lunch-driving distance from it, because they also do the buffet every day for lunch! read more

Food was really good. I ordered the curry chicken with rice and grape leaves. The grape leaves tasted similar to collar greens and were really tasty. The curry chicken came with steamed rice but I would recommend basmati instead. I'd also recommend getting some cucumber sauce to put on top of the chicken! read more
