    I didn't know what to expect when I came to Sassool, but I had heard great things about this spot! You have to order at the counter and then they bring you out your food, so definitely a fast casual spot. It can be intimidating to figure out your order on a whim, so I recommend having a look the menu beforehand or eyeing the different salads in line before ordering. I recommend the tomato and olive pizza, the pineapple salad, and the dips (baba ganoush and I think it was called the jalepeno cilantro dip?). You can't go wrong with any of the fresh salads!

    Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying! I ordered the chicken kebab with a side of chickpea salad and stuffed grape leaves, and everything tasted fresh and light. To top it all off, I treated myself to the pistachio baklava...chef's kiss! A delicious Mediterranean meal from start to finish. Staff were friendly and amazing ! I'll definitely be back!

    I am VERY late to Sassool but very happy I discovered it anyways. The combinations here are endless and the prices are extremely good for the amount of food you get. Everything is healthy, fresh, and delicious and I'm sure anybody would enjoy at least one item from here. The restaurant is big with a lot of seating and the food comes out quick. There's so many combinations of sides, meats, and pitas/shawarmas. There is also a mini shop where you can buy international foods, snacks, and drinks. The plates here are always super filling and satisfying. I usually get a sides plate and a kabab dish which comes with 2 more sides plus rice and a garlic dip. Some of my favorite dishes/sides so far have been the beef/chicken kebab, vegetable lasagna, fava bean salad, black bean salad, chicken salad, mjadarah, and batatta harra (potatoes in whipped garlic). ALL of those have been 10/10 and I could probably eat a plate from here every day. I can't wait to come back to try the shawarma and shawarma pizzas!

    Sassool is easily one of my favorite healthier restaurants, and it's a place we visit at least twice a month without hesitation. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling heavy (essentially nothing is fried). My absolute favorite item is the Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus! The cilantro really cuts through and hides the strong tahini flavor, giving it a bright, fresh kick that keeps me coming back every time. One of the best parts of Sassool is the variety. With what feels like 20 different sides to choose from, it's genuinely fun to go in and mix things up. You can eat here often and still have a completely different plate each visit. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, especially considering how good and filling the food is. It's one of those rare spots that manages to be healthy, flavorful, and affordable all at once. We love coming here and will absolutely continue to do so. Reliable, delicious, and versatile. Sassool never misses!

    We've come here quite a few times and I think their food has been consistent if not better! It's deli style ordering, where you stand in line look at the options visually (sides, some pre cooked entrees desserts and beverages) order pay at the end of the line where they give you a number and then seat yourself there is indoor seating as well as some outdoor patio seating as well. After which the food is delivered to you shortly ! There's also a market on the side with a refrigerated section and couple aisles of items. I feel super overwhelmed with the number of options, but through multiple visits we've been able to try different options. One thing I really like is the crispy, hot and light pita bread that's served with the orders! Some of the things we've tried and loved has been the pizettes - shawarma & mushroom onion; different skewers -chicken/ beef kefta kabobs; falafels, sides- makloube, quinoa salad, couscous, baba ganoush, quinoa tabouli, mjadarah, and so on! A great place to hit all the macros needed for a balanced meal.

    I used to really enjoy Sassool and have been a loyal customer, but my last few orders have been very disappointing. My last order through Uber Eats I had to throw it away. Food safety should never be compromised. Serving undercooked ground meat is unacceptable and could make someone seriously ill. I hope this issue is addressed before it happens to someone else.

    Line out the door when I went and the staff worked hard to get the food out quickly. The food is always excellent and the service is always top notch. I highly recommend this place. The steak kabobs are amazing and all the side options are the best. I love their hummus and sauces as well. The ambiance is nice and you order from the cashier then get delivered your food.

    Sassool is still consistently one of my favorite restaurants in the Triangle area. Their food always has great quality ingredients. It's a healthy comfort food meal! 100% recommended.

    Sassool has catered two events I have attended in the Triangle and the food was incredible. I took my family an hour and a half from Greensboro to the Cary, NC location and oh my goodness it was worth it! Even driving through scary thunderstorms. Sassool is Lebanese Mediterranean. I've only had green Mediterranean prior to now and Lebanese is next level! The cilantro hummus is everything!!!! And it came with four fresh pitas! The grape leaves were so good and the chicken kabob was so good. I got the walnut baklava which was good. The prices are so reasonable! Also there is a Lebanese market with all sorts of amazing options. We had an incredible experience and will absolutely be back the next time we are in Cary or maybe even take another special trip there!

    Two of us came here for an early dinner , 5:15, and I sure am glad we came early. Even during the week, this place is packed for dinner. We were greeted and our orders taken quickly. The tables were clean and we had no problem finding a place to sit. I tried two new salads, and I loved both. The carrot and beet salad and the super salad. I will get both of them again. Tea is always good and fresh and I enjoy the fresh free pita as well. Still my favorite middle eastern place in Cary. I would eat here every day if I could!

    This place is awesome!!! You think is going to be a small little strip mall kind of place but when you walk in, it's actually huge! There's a lot of space to dine in in several separate areas. It gives Mediterranean vibes in side(which is firing for a Mediterranean place,lol). There's green and go type items like a little shop and then there's an ordering area where you let them know of you'd like anything from the grill and then there's about 20 or more sides to choose from...alllll delish and freshly made. The sides range from about $4 and up for an 8oz and then go up from there. They have daily specials and kids meal options. I tend to have to do a lot of catering type meetings with clients and this has been my go-to the last few times. They have options for all Diatary needs. I plan on using them for most meetings from now on. They're easy to work with, do things quickly, and are very friendly!

    This place is a little over hyped and there are some much better Mediterranean places in the area. I tried it and it was good but I don't think I would be back.

    Pick 4: tzatziki, tabouleh, fattoush, and chickpea salad with pita

The service was friendly, though it seemed like a team effort, so different staff members would take our order or bring out food instead of one dedicated server. That occasionally led to delays when we asked for refills or extra plates, and we usually had to repeat the request to our waitress later. For dinner, I shared the Kofta Kebab and Lahmacun with a friend, and the portion size was just enough for both of us to leave full. Unfortunately, parts of the kebab were burnt, so maybe we just caught them on an off night. Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was the warm pita bread they brought to the table. If you're looking to try Turkish food, Bosphorus is worth checking out, but I'd probably order different dishes next time or visit when it's a little less busy.

Really wonderful, authentic place with great staff!

Service is very friendly, and as quick as possible, considering that stuff seems to be made to order. I ordered a chicken kebab platter which comes over a bed of basmati rice, possibly with saffron. Whatever the rice tasted great and it wasn't dry like at a lot of places. The chicken was marinated in a tangy yogurt-spice mix, grilled and topped with a tahini sauce. Delicious! As sides I got mujadara and roasted vegetables which were also tasty. I'll be back for takeout for sure in the future.

    "Bodega-like Mediterranean Grill & Grocery in Parkwood area of Durham"…read more This place is WAY off the beaten path for most, but I'm so happy to have gotten to try it out. Nestled in a little strip between a Muslim school and a mosque is this grill and grocery. We came on a Wednesday evening, and almost every table was already taken by diners. You order your food at a counter, and it has the Middle Eastern foods you'd expect-- kofta, shawarma, gyros, falafel, baba ghanouj, hummus, baklava, etc. I opted for the lamb gyro sandwich with a side of baba ghanouj, and my dining partner had the falafel sandwich. They call your number when it's ready. Food took maybe 10 minutes to receive, so we browsed the market area. It's not a huge selection, but very traditional-- nice seeing so many labels in Arabic, and along with standards (e.g., canned fava beans for Ful Medames), they also had things like frozen chopped mulukhiyah leaves-- that's definitely a rarer sight. Lots of good spices too. The food was EXCELLENT. The lamb was juicy and perfect (unlike what another Yelp review said), the tzatziki sauce was delicious, and the baba ghanouj was perfectly cooked and textured. I had a small bite of the falafel, and it was indeed one of the best I've had in the US. Price was fair, too-- the sandwiches are all under $10 before tax and tip, and making it a combo with side and drink cost just something like $2.50. And service was friendly-- although they called out numbers, they did walk out with the food to try to find and bring you your dishes. And while it was an older space, it was overall still generally clean. Overall, I'd VERY happily come back.

    "Consistency Matters"…read more The food is delish, let's start there. This hasn't been on my bingo card for a while and boo hoo! The garden pizzette and chicken shawarma are fan favorites for a reason. Chicken Shawarma is a (IMO) well seasoned cinnamon forward profile that delivers a tender chew. Don't let the cinnamon description deter you. The flavor is complex, savory, and very good! The garden pizzette is delicious. The perfect mixup of feta, mint, tomato, and cucumber...Chef's Kiss (dip in hummus and/or tzatziki for that extra, extra added flavor). We also loved the tzatziki/lebnah sauce. Perfect balance for our Americanized palate. My biggest complaint, would be consistency. I ordered twice in one week. Each meal was delicious, but noticeable different. Not a huge factor, but one I thought worth mentioning. Bread was whole wheat ... cool/ not a problem .. but also not my preference. All in all, a darn good meal! Sold side options.

I was going to be closer to the Raleigh location this past month so I decided to go to the Raleigh location and see if they could do the same as cary. I went in and asked a young man he said that should not be a problem for me to put in my catering orders and then have my payment done a certain way at the register, as they usually do, in cary. I placed my order and got to the register and then the very nice girl that was there was going to ring me up. She wasn't sure how to manually enter my credit card information that I needed to give, so she asked what I'm going to assume was her manager or whoever was in charge that day? The woman turned around and looked at me as if I walked in and started in her face. Her face was so disgusted, twisted up, and snarled with disapproval. She asked me, with a huge attitude, "what was going on here?". I politely explained the situation, which is that, at the Cary location our company pays over the phone when I arrive. I handed her the phone to give her the credit card information and she was speaking to my boss (who is a very world-renowned doctor) about the payment info. She was so rude to him and said "well usually we don't do this but we'll do it this time". I informed her that from now on, since it was such a problem we will gladly go to the other location or just another restaurant in general. The younger people at the register were extremely friendly and polite and really made this experience the most positive thing from this whole trip to this location. As I was leaving the female who had the attitude earlier did say that she " was sorry, and that she just didn't know what she was walking into". At this point, I really did not care about an I'm sorry, because I will never go back to this location. I don't care who or what she is, but if she doesn't know what she's walking into, then the best idea for her(if she had any business or common sense)would be to approach it in a professional manner and not with a stank attitude. I have worked in doing catering sales,amahing businesses, throwing events, and ordering multiple catering orders for other businesses that I run. I have never and would never, approach anyone like this if I was uncertain of any situation. It puts a really bad look on their whole concept. I have already talked to multiple people about this and told all the physicians that I work with. I have also discussed this encounter with other people who do multiple orders for catering and other event networking groups. I will never be ordering from this location again. I hope whatever they do, they get it right, and start hiring people who appreciate having a job, to make sure that no one else feels so turned off by someone like this. I'm only giving a two stars for the Friends League kids that were at the counter and at the cash register
