Almost perfect meal...big crowd in town and ordered two fam dinners plus extra sides and deserts....Beef shawarma, never had from Sassool, but have had from other places. Meat was thick and not tender at all. Not sure if it was a rush to judgment on prep or not cooked the length it should have been. Like to see this improved upon in the future. Cheers! read more

Food is always good how ever check each item you order before leaving even though the time before this I did and they got irritated with me because only space was at check out counter, so today it was packed and I trusted a simple order and drove 35 min back to Durham only to have the wrong sandwich and it's highly disappointing when your craving something and spend over a hour on the road for it to be wrong. The manager was super friendly and refunded me for that item but the other staff in store when I picked up and the caller I first spoke with was not pleasant. Just very disappointing and discouraging when you go in any business anymore and staff act like they hate there job, this is no customer service or appreciation anymore. read more

The best Mediterranean food ever. Just get a pick 3 or pick 4 to save time. It's all amazing, especially hummus, baba ghanouj, house made pitas, beet salads (both) and falafels. read more

Oh how I love Sassool! When I'm in the mood for something light, I get the Pick 3 or Pick 4 and get delicious vegetarian cold salads (autumn root is my favorite) and eat it for two meals, but if I'm hungry I go for chicken kebabs and stuff myself silly. The garlic sauce that comes with the kebabs is killer and I think order chicken specifically to get the garlic sauce. Everything at Sassool is fresh, well seasoned, and delicious. I could eat here every day if it weren't always so crowded, but that just tells you how much people love it! read more

Sassool - Chicken kabobs, autumn root salad, rice, falafel - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

First time trying this restaurant. Very good healthy food. Can't remember what we ordered. We dined outside, we were waited on right away. Not a fan of celery, quite a bit of had to be picked out of my dish. read more

I wish I lived here. I would eat every meal here! Was visiting my son and he brought us in for dinner. So much to choose from. Large portions of delicious foods. Many healthy options. The little market inside is awesome. Loved it! read more

Sassool is so delicious! When you feel like you want to try something different, but not way out there different, Sassool is a great option. Real food, and so many flavors from a variety of vegetables and spices, lentils, cheeses, meat. The Kafta kabob is my favorite of the kabobs. The two kabob meal is great if you're hungry and want to try out some different items. You can get two different kabobs and two sides. There are cold salads, hot sides and soups. The pesto orzo is so good and is topped with feta and includes kalamata olives. Even if you don't like hummus, try the jalapeño cilantro hummus, is so good and balanced flavor. I'm not a spicy eater and this is just delicious. I feel as though you could please any diet/taste type here. There's meat, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free items, fun snacks and beverages. They make flat bread pizzas as well. The spinach pie is definitely on my list. They offer desserts made on site and some from other places that are vegan and/or gluten free. Sassool gets hit by the lunch rush big time, so just be prepared if you're coming in on a weekday. It can be a little chaotic but the food is just so good, it's no wonder people clamor to get in. They have a little side shop offering nuts, lentils, candies, snacks, beverages and more. There is a front outside dining area. Parking is pretty easy but it's shared with all the other busy businesses in the strip mall. Still go. The food is the thing. read more

I love Sassool! I go here often! The food is amazing and the portion sizes are great. I almost always get the pick 4 and there are so many amazing options I usually get two pick 4s because I can't choose just 4 sides. It makes a great lunch and then a great dinner. When I'm training for marathons this is such a great healthy go to option for me. My favorites are the Orzo Pasta Salad, Pearled Couscous, Med Chicken Salad, Sweet Potato Salad, Corn Salad, Fatoush, Cabbage Salad and Lebanese Rice. These are all so great! The service is always fast. Even if you see a long line at a poplular lunch or dinner time don't worry the line will move fast. read more

I made my return to Sassool for the Vegetable Lasagna platter! I placed my order online and it was really easy to order and I liked that I could select my pickup time as I needed enough time to drive to the restaurant. The restaurant was very busy with some dining outside and others insides but most of us were getting the food to go. So ordering online worked well for me as there is a cash register just for those that called or ordered online. There are taped lines on the floor so that we can all distance from the others. I liked the sides I had chosen a few days ago for the 4 side platter so I did order those again. Two sides came with the lasagna so the other two sides were additional. I ordered the ratatouille; roasted vegetables; fresh fruit and kale salad. This turned out to be way too much food as the vegetable lasagna was very filling and so yummy. It was packed with layers of vegetables and delicious cheese. But I am glad I can get at least another meal from what I ordered. I think I need to make a trip back as I forgot the baklava. I wasn't thinking about the desserts when I ordered. If I had ordered there I would have walked by the case of desserts. There is a rewards program too so another reason to return. read more

My wife picked up food for me on December 22, 2023. The spanakopita was awesome and I pulled off crunchy layers of fila dough before eating the filling. I had requested the salmon burger combo with sweet potato salad and stuffed grape leaves. Unfortunately you were out of grape leaves and my wife said surprise her. I am not a tuna fan, particularly the smell, but I really enjoyed the tuna salad and it smelled of mild tuna and aromatic herbs. I would even try your tuna salad again! The salmon burger was tasty as was the sweet potato salad. I had enough food for two meals. The spanakopita remains one of my favorites from Sassool! read more

Always five star!Such a treat when I am in the neighborhood for some of their incredible edibles! You cannot go wrong with anything here, I bet the napkins even taste good. Fresh, fantastic food. I especially enjoy the stuffed grape leaves, chicken skewers, Mediterranean salad, Spinach& Feta Pizzette and Every. Single. Side. Dish. Don't even get me started on their deserts, Devine! Truly you can find something for everyone; Vegan, Veg, Gluten Free, carnivore, however you eat it will be delicious here! PS ask for extra garlic sauce for dipping your pita, thank me later! read more

YUMMY! It's always packed when I go. Sometimes the staff doesn't know the dishes they are serving and if you've never had this kind of food it makes it a little hard but you can ask for samples. I usually get it to-go since seating is first come first served. But so good! read more

We had lunch here not long before the quarantine started. Just like at the Cary location, the food is perfect! I ordered my favorite, the chicken kabob with roasted vegetables and orzo and feta salad on the side. My friend loved the cilantro hummus, and there are many more sides from which to choose. One of the best things, though, is the freshly-baked, complimentary pita.This Sassool seems to have less seating than in Cary, although there was no wait for a table. I love the market that takes up about a quarter of the restaurant. You can get a few cheeses and packaged products, but my favorite is the fresh olives, including pitted kalamatas. The price is about half of what you'd find at a grocery store. I've sometimes popped in just for the olives; the price is that good. read more

It was my first time here. The line was kinda long but it didn't take but 5-7 minutes to get through to order my food. They had it ready before I paid for it a few minutes later. There was plenty of room to sit in the dining area and it wasn't too loud. If I lived closer than 80-90 minutes away, I would DEFINITELY come back. The staff was friendly and acknowledged me with 'good afternoon air, what can I get for you', which is good for a busy place. read more

We've been dining at Sassool since they opened. Still the best Mediterranean in the Triangle in our opinion.

Have ordered takeout from here a few times and everything was pretty tasty. The mediterranean chicken salad is probably one of the best things you can get here, followed by the grilled veggies. I've also tried the baba ganoush, beets, hummus, tabouleh, orzo salad and baklava. Great place for a fast casual dinner/takeout. They also have a store inside with Turkish pantry items! read more

I was a bit intimidated when I walked in, especially because the menu and display case are so extensive, but I absolutely loved it after I got it together and finally figured out what/how to order! I would definitely go with someone who's already been before (but that just might be my personality...). Either way, the food is all so good. I've tried the Medjool rice, the Lebanese rice, the hummus, the tabouli, the chicken kabobs, the Mediterranean chicken salad, and the taziki. Everything I've tried so far has been on point! I'm a huge fan and wish it was closer to me so I can get takeout more often. read more

Delicious as always. We ordered ahead and the meal was ready on time. Love their convenient store too, picked up great tea and spices.

The line to order was almost out the door and moving way too slowly. I love good food, but can find it elsewhere without standing in a long line read more

If you go for just one thing go for the sweet potato salad and the roasted beets salad! They were both amazing! The sweet potato salad was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. The beets were so naturally sweet and a little bit spicy! I also got the tomato basil pizzette that was deliciously garlicy and crunchy. read more

Haven't had a bad experience here yet. I recently found out they serve Gluten Free pita bread, and it's really freagin good! read more

Although the food is good the cashier was not friendly when I asked about a gluten free pita she snapped at me and said I should have ordered it at the start of the line how ever I did ask about it but was told you get your free pitas when paying. So I got snapped at and charged $2 extra for one pita. Then was asked to sit at a table to wait because that is what they do even with to go orders. Question while I don't get the two that was included why do you have to pay extra for one. My diet is not a Choice as I have celiac. The customer service was horrible I will look at other Mediterranean restaurants that might be more friendly to their customers. This restaurant is so popular and busy guess my business won't me missed but I like to be treated better. read more

I got the 4 side sampler. Very fresh, huge portions, friendly staff, and delicious!!! Will be back

It's a go through a Line self-serve kinda. Then you can sit at tables with strangers or choose a spot all to yourself. It all depends on your attitude on whether you enjoy the Ebbi or not. It's a chance to try a different cultures food and buy products in their store. I enjoyed my day there. read more

It's a casual, cafeteria style place. So many food options. And a grocery store too. My food was delicious! read more

Coworker raves about the food here. Comparable to Med Deli, without the overwhelming choices. Pita fresh and puffy to go with baba ghanoush, autumn root salad, Mediterranean chicken salad and lentil salad. Was busy at 3 in the afternoon. Love the variety of grocery items, because mom was wanting some fava beans, and able to get some of those for her. read more

Sassool - Fava - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This place is truly the best! We love the different deals they have each week and the rotating menu of delicious authentic food. My favorite salad is the kale and apple salad. Something about it just hits the right way anytime I have it. And I'm not a big o ion fan, but their mjadarah is my favorite. And of course they have hummus...so good, I could eat it all day with their warm pita bread. They can get pretty busy at lunch, but worth the wait. Service is always friendly and helpful. They even have a small market area where you can buy different market items for Lebanese and Mediterranean items. read more

Food is pretty good, orders come at random times even if the same items. Prices are very very high.

Was told before coming that this was the best Middle Eastern restaurant in Raleigh. Nope. Not by a long shot. The beef kabob was so tough we ended up not eating it. When we told a staff member about the kabob he said he would see what he could do. Never saw him again after that! The falafel sandwich was very late in coming out and had cooled down to almost cold to the taste. We also had the vegetarian lasagna but there were no knives available to cut it into bite size pieces. We won't be coming back for another meal here. read more

We stopped in on yet another dreary Friday night in North Carolina. It was pouring and the place was busy. There was a long line but it moved quickly. We went there with the intention to dine in, which we did. They have removed some of the tables and spaced out the rest to comply with the current indoor dining restrictions. All of the staff were wearing gloves and masks and they are cleaning the tables between customers. The food here is great. We were big Greek / Mediterranean / Middle Eastern foodies back when we lived in NYC. We were happy to find this place when we moved here five years ago. I went with the large kabob platter with the lamb skewers over rice, Orzo pasta and cabbage salad (loaded up carb night). My wife went with the same but with two mixed salads (can't remember the exact name), our son got the chicken salad, garden salad and hummus. I also got an order of grape leaves and we got some hot pita bread to split. We splurged on a dessert (it was Friday) and got a flourless chocolate pistachio tort. Like I said before, the food was awesome. The service here is also really good. they were really busy and there was a long take out line and the phone was ringing off of the hook. It took a little while for the food to come out which is understandable. They have a nice grocery section with hard to find items that you normally can't find in Raleigh. If you're into Greek / Mediterranean / Middle Eastern food, this is the place for you. Definitely check them out. read more

Best kafta / lamb kabobs in Raleigh and always consistent. Designed as cafeteria style with some dishes from the grille made-to-order.

Always amazing food and service!! The rice, tabouli, fatoush and chicken kebabs are my favorites. read more

The mint fig pizette is AWESOME! The zatar pizzette had an excessive amount of seasoning, so much so we scraped it off and still had to drown it in hummus to make it palletable. The babaganoush was exquisite! A nice smoky note to compliment the smooth texture. read more

We were in Raleigh last week visiting My Baby Sister and her Hubby so we had to eat out to keep her out of the kitchen. We convinced them to eat Middle Eastern and they recommended this great Lebanese restaurant. The food was so good I forgot to take pictures. I did take a picture of their stuffed dates, really out of this world, though. Their spanakopita was the best I have ever eaten. It's worth a drive there for that alone. The rest of my choices were excellent. I will eat there again on my next visit to Raleigh. read more

This was my first visit to Sassool on Strickland Road. However, there was something really familiar about their menu that I have had at another Lebanese restaurant elsewhere... hmmm. I ordered the chicken salad (loaded with crispy celery, walnuts and sweet golden raisins), grilled veggies (carrots, zucchini, onions and peppers), jalapeno cilantro hummus and their fresh green salad for my Pick 4 Sides. Loved each one and will come back again! read more

I'd give Sassool 100 stars if I could. This is my go-to healthy lunch and dinner spot! The family meals are great for my boyfriend and me who want some leftovers for the next day. The platters are also a great option! My favorite meal is a 2 chicken kabob platter with kale salad and tzatziki. It tastes great when dining in and for takeout, but dining in is as fresh as it can get. LOVE Sassool! read more

This place is phenomenal. So many fresh flavors, and it's great for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. They have so many choices it's almost overwhelming. If I lived a little closer I'd go once a week and try different sides each time. Go with some friends: each of you get a platter of 4 different sides and then share. You will love it! And the fresh hot pita bread is something you must have, I don't care if you are counting carbs. Not today!! read more

Outstanding Mediterranean food in North Raleigh if you're in the neighborhood. Stumbled across this place while visiting my parents and was floored by how good their vegetarian salad and vegetarian friendly options were. This place has won best of Mediterranean food in the triangle in prior years and they still have it. On site dedicated fire oven roasts their pizette offerings wonderfully. Highly recommend their beet based dishes. Can't wait to come back again and try their other selections. read more

Sassoool never disappoints. Fresh flavorful salads and food always. The staff is attentive and is willing to accommodate and make changes. Service with a smile is the family way. I appreciate being able to come " a few times a year" and enjoy foods that have not changed on over 30 years. Thank you family read more
