Owner is extremely nice and welcoming to everyone and employees are efficient. The restaurant itself is being remodeled and is looking great. If I could recommend one thing its the Falafel Best I've ever had. They add sesame seeds that add so much!!

Popped in here for dinner with a few coworkers, as it was one of the few places open near our…read morehotel. It had snowed that particular week, so not sure if it was quiet because of that, because there was only one other customer in the restaurant. The place is quite plain and noticeably sparse. I shared a Bateeni Sampler with a co-worker. My thoughts - Hummus and Babaghanouj were quite good. - Falafel had a lot more sesame than I normally see, which I liked - Tabbouleh was very fresh - Grape leaves and cabbage salad was OK Despite being very quiet, the food took a long time to prepare. I would say it probably took 15-20 minutes, which seemed very long. Server was nice enough, but there was definitely some miscommunication between the front and back because we ordered a few items to go too, so we waited around 5-10 minutes to find out what we wanted wasn't available. There was some difficulties with refunding what we prepaid, so we ended up taking other food as a substitute. Overall, food was fine, but service had a lot of room for improvement.

I was visiting from out of town and wanted to try something new. I was blown away by the food…read more Sarah was super helpful in explaining all the different dishes offered. We had the Lamb Shank special on Fri/Sat. I don't know if this is an every week thing, but it's a must try. The lamb just fell off the bone and was very moist and tender. The plate came with a bowl of the stock it is slow cooked in. Drizzle this over the shank & rice for just another layer of flavor. There were so many different spices and multiple textures that added so much to this dish. I even dipped my pita bread in the stock. Even the side salad was delicious. It was fresh and flavorful. A very nice bite after the rich lamb. You should try this place. If I didn't live over 1,000 miles away, I would be a regular. The inside is very clean and welcoming. The background music was pleasant and added to the experience of trying food from a different culture.

You order and pay at the counter and then they deliver your food to your table - I'm a fan of this setup because I can leave quickly and not have to wait for the server to give me the check :) It took maybe ~15 minutes to get our food, but it was piping hot and fresh when it arrived. It was so tasty! My wife and I split the Goat Karahi, which came with "two naan bread" (those naan must be huge, because it seemed more like five naan bread to us!) in a separate basket. The goat was flavorful and the sauce was delicious. The naan were fluffy and tasted really good too. The staff were nice and helpful throughout the meal. This will definitely be one of our new lunch spots, and I'm excited to come back!

As soon as you walk in you can see the kitchen and prep counter with the menu right above it. Order at the counter and pick up at the other end when your pager goes off. We kept it simple and ordered the lamb gyro, seasoned fries, drink, and hummus appetizer. We just had waters, but they offer wine, beer, sodas, bottled water, and some other drinks. Fairly simple, but good size menu with plenty of options. There are plenty of seating options with tables, booths, and outdoor tables as well. While we were waiting and eating there were several to go orders. Steady flow of customers in and out. They also have a great music selection! After a short wait our delicious gyros arrived. The presentation was nothing flashy, but good. The fires were seasoned just right for me, but a little too salty for the wife. The gyros were as expected, delicious and a good size for us. The hummus plate was actually larger than expected, but a nice surprise. There was enough naan for sure. I did not take any pics this time. Overall experience was excellent honestly. We'll definitely eat here again. I recommend giving Olea Mediterranean Kitchen a try.

It was an incredible deal for $15.99! There was so much food I have leftovers. Everything was fresh and tender. The seasoning was on point and I loved the hummus and tzatziki. So much flavor. The only thing that made this place better was the fantastic customer service. I was instantly greeted when I walked in and I had friendly service at the counter. My food arrived quickly and was beautifully assembled. When I'm back in town I will absolutely come back to this location.

Perfectly cooked. Juicy. Seasoned just right--like whatever they put on it, they better NEVER change it. I swear I wish I had the recipe... because this right here??

Best healthy food I've had in North Carolina--no question.
