Great food and cheap buffet option at lunchtime (though I didn't have this). The lamb and beef wrap I did have was really good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Environment is basic cafe style but great value food. read more

First time dining here. Decided to go for the buffet, I was impressed. Food was fresh and flavorful. I love their grilled meat, they were very juicy and delicious, definitely will be back! Only thing they should improve on is dessert, I was ok with giving 5 stars because I wasn't there for dessert. read more

Came in for late lunch they have an all day buffet. It consists of Mediterranean and Philippine food. It includes dessert and no drink for $11.00. They are good with refilling for the most part. All of the food is Halal so the ingredients are blessed if your looking for that type of food. They're not good in math so count what your paying for total. The place is decent but don't bring a date. The food in the buffet is tasty and includes chicken Manila BBQ, Kate kare, pancit, fried rice and rice cakes for desert to name a few. I like that they serve baklava as part of the dessert. They have $2 unlimited fountain drinks and ice cream not part of the buffet. read more

Love this place!!! My boyfriend and I come all the time for the buffet. You just buy it and get a plate to fill up with food. The food is always so delicious and they have fresh pita! The hummus is the best hummus Ive ever had. The workers are so nice and welcoming. They hand you stuff right off the grill to try. Definitely recommend read more

Awesome find! We usually had to drive all the way to Raleigh for some Filipino food, but this place is so much closer! Definitely go for the buffet. It was worth the money. The food was delicious and you can keep going back for more. The buffet also had a good variety of both Filipino and Mediterranean food. Went here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. read more

Great buffet - wonderful selection of fairly healthy options (lots of salads, Mediterranean dips, chicken) for a very reasonable price (~$10). read more

Always love your food! Ordered delivery for the first time today. You missed the combo drink!

Amazing mix of Filipino and Mediterranean food. It totally works together. The buffet was delicious including Chicken Adobo, Chicken Curry, Gyro, and Tapioca Tea. read more

This is in my top 3 resteraunts in Durham. I go at least twice a month. Amazing buffet with healthy tasty and a wide variety of options. Very unique menu, super nice staff, great price. I bring guests here when visiting Durham and everyone loves it. read more

I came in (primarily) for the Filipino food, it's so hard to find around here. We started with the lumpia (chicken spring rolls) but ended up ordering Mediterranean style wraps for our entrees. Pros: Chicken was cooked perfectly, the char-grilled exterior was greatly appreciated. Pretty inexpensive (under $10 for most of the items). Cons: Lumpia had a little bit of a French-fry taste from the oil it was cooked in. Trash can near the fountain machine was practically overflowing, which makes me wonder a little bit about the overall sanitation standards. Im giving this 3-stars for now, because it's a super cheap restaurant that offers a decent (and unique) variety. I will give it a second chance in the future... I'll update my review if things are different. read more

The Mediterranean food is pretty good, I enjoyed my meal. I ordered the kabob chicken platter. The only thing I didn't really like was the hummus. It lacks flavor and it has a different texture than most Mediterranean places, it's not as thick as it should be, a bit watered down. I do love the pita bread here, probably the best pita bread I've tasted. Everything is good, the hummus just needs a bit of work. read more

Not a fan. Ate dinner at the buffet. Not even gonna waste my time on the review...I was not at all impressed! Plus clean up your own dishes too!! read more

I order the lamb and beef gyro with fries and a drink every time I go maybe once or twice every month. It's great quality at an affordable price and has not once disappointed. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a few weeks and finally ordered it on UberEats. I was not disappointed! My husband and I split the chicken shawarma wrap, bbq grilled chicken skewers, and a veggie platter. The wrap was so good! I also really liked the skewers and the tzatziki with pita. My husband liked the falafel, but it was a bit dry for me. Next time, I will have to try the lumpia because they were sold out. I will 100% be back! read more

My husband and I used to come here when it was Baba Ghanoush. We liked Baba Ghanoush and now really enjoy MediterrAsian Bistro. They serve lots of favorites from the previous name/concept but with more variety and an all you can eat buffet style (though you can still order platters or gyros individually). I've been several times since the name/concept change and the meats are all freshly cooked and replenished frequently. We really hope this place flourishes w/the changes that have been made. It's tasty food at a decent price plus the staff are super sweet and kind. Try the chicken skewers-they are really good! read more

Very unexpected! Sooooo yummy! They offer a great selection. This is easily my new favorite place.

This place had good reviews and we thought we would give it a try. We came in about 50 minutes before closing and the cashier was nowhere to be seen. After a few minutes, the cashier finally came out from the back. We order chicken adobo and lamb and beef gyro wrap. The chicken adobo was horrible and probably one of the worse chicken I have ever had. It was so dry and tough, almost like jerky. The tzatziki sauce in the lamb and beef gyro wrap was bland. I would not go back. read more

This has got to be the best buffet I have ever eaten at. I loved the mixture of Mediterranean and Asian foods. The vegetarian dishes were particularly delicious. read more

I really enjoyed the buffet here. Everything that I tried on the buffet was very tasty. We also got the Sunday lunch special, of crab legs. They were delicious! The staff was extremely nice and helpful with all of our requests. Can't wait to bring my friends from out of town here! If you like Mediterranean or Filipino food, then you should definitely try this place out! read more

This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant around SouthPoint! Their buffet (lunch/dinner) has lots food from various cuisines and every dish tastes great. I am not a big meat eater so my recommendations are the fired cauliflowers and eggplants. Those are the cravings I always have! The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Their food make me feel like home. As an Asian, you need this to cure the homesick and this place is where I go. read more

Wow I'm so glad I found this place. Mediterranean+Filipino food is a great combo. I'm coming back soon! Good customer service as well. read more

"she may not look like much but she got it where it counts kid"....Stopped in here for the dinner buffet(weekday) tonight and specifically to try their Filipino food. I sampled the veggie pancit and pancit canton. Along with their beef dish, chicken adobo and lumpia. Since it was a buffet I also went on to try the Filipino rice pudding as well as the Flan for dessert. The flan was extra but money well spent. My overall impression of this place is kinda strip-mall-drab but for the quality food they serve up it is really quite good in my opinion. I'd probably have to say that the service may have been a little lacking but this place really makes up for it with their food in my opinion. I'm willing to practice patience when good food is on the line. Speaking of, the chicken adobo was probably some of the best I've had locally and I would certainly recommend anyone who stops in here to try it out. The only dish I wasn't really impressed with was the beef. The beef itself was seasoned exceptionally well and tasted delicious in that regard but the texture belied that it had maybe been in the chaffing dish a little too long and was a bit on the tough side. They do offer more options on Sunday's apparently and you can get the all you can eat buffet and Crab Legs for around $25. I'd like to stop in and try that sometime especially since they claim to have a expanded Filipino offering then. All in all, for around $11 for a plate of Filipino food this is a pretty great place to go grab a bite to eat....Oh yeah, they also serve halo halo but I opted not to try any as I was already stuffed. Still though, it's always tempting as hell. read more

See all

I'm Middle-Eastern and love eating Middle-Eastern food, but sometimes get tired of making it myself. When that happens, my girlfriend and I come here. It's changed management recently, so the food is a mix of Mediterranean / Middle-Eastern and Asian / Philippine food. We have gotten the small buffet every time we've been. They have classics like noodles, shawarma style meats, falafel, hummus, stuffed grape leaves, a changing soup, pita bread, etc., and then some items you don't usually see on Mediterranean / Middle-Eastern menus, such as fried cauliflower and fatoush. While it's definitely a different style than my own food, it's very tasty and enjoyable, quality is good and consistent, and the staff are always helpful. Only bad things I have to say about this place is that sometimes you're forced to ask for an item to be refilled, although I will say this is usually when they're about to close, and is my fault for coming late (they close the buffet on most days at 8 PM). The other thing is that the ONE TIME we came for their Sunday buffet, which boasts an all you can eat snow crab legs, they ran out of snow crab legs. This could be forgivable, stuff happens, you run out of food sometimes, but it was VERY clear they knew they were about to run out of crab legs when they let me pay the additional price for the crab legs. I hate to say that I felt swindled, since I really enjoy this restaurant, but there was definitely some resentment that they didn't forewarn me that they had 3 servings of crab legs for the entire restaurant until after I payed for it. So if you go for the crab legs, MAKE SURE TO ASK HOW MANY THEY HAVE! Other than that, this place has been great! read more

I was excited to check it out from the great reviews that I saw but I wasn't able to relate after dining here. There wasn't anything that impressed me. The restaurant is pretty small so the buffet is also on the smaller side. There just weren't any foods that I would come back here for unfortunately. The staff was extremely nice though - no complaints there! read more

I had the buffet option tonight. The Mediterranean food is one of the best I've had in Raleigh. I tried the grape leaves, hummus, chicken kabob wrap, and lentil and rice. Everything tasted great and was freshly prepared. I also enjoyed the Filipino food. The chicken curry and the beef spring roll were my favorite. Also, the shredded beef steak is a reason to come back. I wanted to try the dessert, but I was too full to try any. I will try the halo halo, baklava and the sweet rice w/ corn next time I visit. There are not that many Filipino restaurants in the RDU area, so this will definitely be my go-to! read more

I ordered the veggie platter. Fattoush had a great flavor but no pita chips which I'm used to. Baba ghannoush was tasty, served with white or wheat pita bread. Grape leaves/dolma were excellent! Portion size was good other than the smaller portion of baba ghannoush. Restaurant is very casual and could easily be made a little nicer with better quality disposable plates, some art on the walls, etc. read more

It tastes like at least some of the food from the buffet is store-bought frozen food. The food isn't bad in my opinion (my dining companions thought it was straight up bad haha) but it's not something I would deliberately seek out. I could see this being more of a comfort food spot for some people! read more

What an amazing diverse restaurant! You will find delicious gyro's, mediterranean food buffett of all types and all you can crab legs on sunday! Delicious, affordable and welcoming! The staff is amazingly nice as well! read more

Excellent food and service. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Not a fan of buffets, but their buffet was outstanding and fresh. Delicious! read more

I love this place! I had the beef shawarma wrap and it was delicious! They even cooked the fries crunchy like I like them. They give a lot of food so I could only eat about half of it and left my table to get a to go box. When I returned to my table, the food was gone! The lady cleaning the tables thought I was finished and threw it out! The lady running the place quickly made it right by immediately cooking me a fresh beef pita wrap to go! Wonderful customer service and fantastic food, I will be back!!! read more

Only tried the buffet but it's still so delicious! Decided to try this place out considering the fact that it's so close by. The employees/cashiers are extremely nice and they make more food if there isn't enough and it's more fresh than stale for a place that has a small buffet. Dessert selection isn't that great though. I've had homemade/fresh baklava at other locations, but I guess that's me being picky. Overall; there is a lot of delicious flavors and my brother and I can't stop coming back! :) read more

This place is hands down the best Filipino restaurant in the triangle, in my opinion. Its a hole in the wall but I love the fact that they have chicken options instead of pork (which is commonly used). Their lunch buffet has a variety of Filipino & Mediterranean selection, such as tabouli, lamb gyro, hummus, & baklava. The chicken adobo, Pancit, chicken sinigang, chicken bbq stick, & lumpia were all delicious & reminiscent of my mom's cooking. There is also the option to order from their regular menu which offers a wide variety of fish & seafood entrees, like bangus & fried tilapia. On Sundays they offer specialty dishes such as kare-kare. It's a distance away from me but the drive is so worth it. I'm hoping they expand & open one closer to me. read more

This restaurant was once all Mediterranean dishes but now with new owners and a new name food choices have expanded. MediterrAsian Bistro is a great place for Asian/Filipino dishes AND Mediterranean dishes. What a wonderful idea to combine both cultures. I have tried practically every dish. I haven't been disappointed. Terrific food and staff. Outstanding! read more

My family was looking for a place to eat that was close by and that had takeout and we chose MediterrAsian Bistro. I ordered a lamb and chicken gyro as well as lumpia and halo halo. The food was delicious and so tasty and it was my first time trying halo halo (I've heard of it before but never got the chance to try it) and it was an interesting concoction but it was good. i was missing the lumpia so I went back to the restaurant and they gave me some food without asking which was very kind of them. Will definitely go back for more! read more

We started our looking for an affordable dinner buffet and chose this restaurant based on the rave reviews on Yelp. My partner reminded me that we had visited once before but walked out after a review of the scant selections on the buffet. Tonight we were determined to see the dining experience through. The staff was friendly but the buffet looked a bit sad and picked over. None of the serving trays were full and much of the offerings appeared to left over from lunch. The Asian side did have some nice chicken offerings but that's all it had, one type of rice and no real vegetable dishes. The "Mediterranian" side was all cold food and no meat dishes. I made 3 trips to the buffet and soon we had a stack of dirty dishes on our table. No one came to remove them (something EVERY buffet I've ever been to does). If we were supposed to bus our own table they could have told us. I wish there was something to recommend this place. If there is it certainly isn't demonstrated in the buffet. We were the only diners in the place at 6:30 in the evening. But there was a steady stream of take-out orders so that might be the way to go. Bottom line is that there are a million better ways to spend $23 for dinner for two. read more

Do not eat here!! I watched as the employee cooked my food with her mask pulled down under her chin. She was holding plates of food in her hand right under her face, while she was talking to the other employee and chewing gum with her mouth open. I can just imagine what type of spit and moisture particles got in my food. When I asked for her to please remake my food with her mask on, she refused to. She acted like it was no big deal that she wasn't wearing a mask. Although it's a sign on the door stating customers must wear mask. Let's not forget it's also a state mandate. Or that Covid-19 is passed through moisture particles, and she was transmitting moisture particles into customers food. I asked for a refund, and was given one. She seemed all to eager (as if that was her way of refusing service to me). Sharing this because I want others to remain safe. No telling what other disgusting things go one there. read more

The food is really good. I gave it two stars because it's so dirty even when they first open in the day. I have been here often and have just watched the build up. I can't go anymore. 1) Soda machine area has a rug that had the same dirt as the week before. It's super sticky and whatever is on it follows you wherever you walk after. Your feet stick to the ground. 2) Food utensils fall into food pans after people have touched it all day. The staff just fishes it out of the pan and prop it up to use again. Really ?? They can't get a clean one to replace it? 3) piles of dirty dishes remain on a cart where everyone needs to walk by. 4) even if you come in early the tables have dirt and grease where someone else sat. I was here for 2 hours and still saw no one clean the tables. The staff all just sit in the kitchen. It seems that they wait for this older woman to arrive in the afternoon to collect the dishes. The tables, chairs, and posts under the tables have smeared dirt and sauces on them from God knows when. 5) The soda and tea dispensers have the same dirt on them from weeks ago when I was last here. You know there must be dangerous molds and bacteria inside the machines. 6) I picked up two forks from the clean fork area that had food crusted between the prongs. 7) If that is the part that people see, imagine what's going on in the back. 8) The cashier taking orders was picking her nose and then moved on to prepare food. This same woman came out to collect a few dirty dishes ; went back to the register, and then prepared a take out order---NEVER watching her hands. 9) The napkin holders are so gross. 10) It's really too bad because the food is delicious and authentic. I personally can't go there anymore. read more

The main course was really good! I had the lamb and beef gyro. But the side options were limited and bad. The hummus was bland and the colliflower was cold. The bathrooms were dirty. read more

The buffet is not fresh. So I decided to order up a gyro combo and I wasn't impressed with that either the fries were too salty. The previous owner used to keep quality food. read more

Horrible. Just horrible. We got takeout from here this afternoon and my entire meal (minus a few bites) is in the trash. I got a vegetarian platter made up of falafel, hummus, and grape leaves. The falafel were burnt nearly black and had no flavor at all; they were dry and sandy and tasteless...and of course the restaurant forgot to include any tahini sauce. The grape leaves were either slimy and falling apart or hard and nearly impossible to chew. The hummus tasted of nothing but sesame---way too much tahini. The pita bread was flabby. My husband liked his chicken and kafta platter well enough but the garlic fries were soggy with garlic oil poured on top. Just horrible. So disappointing. read more
