My favorite place to eat in High Point! The food is spectacular, the owner is so personable and the staff always makes me feel welcomed. I love everything about this restaurant. My favorite is going in for the lunch time special. I always get the chicken kebab with a side of rice and pasta salad. It is the perfect portion and I am always satisfied. If you want authentic food, this is the place to go! read more

My sister, husband and I had dinner at Sumela on Saturday, 9/9/17 and it was the first time any of us had dine at Turkish restaurant and what a wonderful experience. The service was exceptional not to mention that the food was out of this world. I asked to try their wines and was surprised that they gave me four samples of their Turkish wines, which was a delightful tasting experience. This experience was the most joyful dining experience we could have ever imagined. If you want to experience an excellent Turkish, Mediterranean dining experience then run don't walk to Sumela. The three (3) of us will be traveling from Brooklyn, to Manhattan to dine at Sumela once every month. 3 Happy and satisfied Brooklyn dinners :-) B,D,G read more

Overall, the food was good. Ordered falafel pita wrap with fries and a Greek salad. The sweet tea needed more sugar. Removed shriveled olives from the Greek salad. My sister ordered the same meal and enjoyed it. It was my mom's first time eating Turkish / Mediterranean food and she loved the chicken kebab plate. We shared a spanakopita with the table. Would recommend in a pinch. :) read more

Ate here one day with my mothers bf after being told it was very good by some girls at the Theodore Alexander Outlet. Any one who KNOWS high end furniture will appreciate TA. Any way I have never heard of it & since I love eating healthy we decided to give it a try. I had some of the BEST grilled chicken wraps in my life. My mothers bf had the lamb he said it was excellent I agree tried one. Done perfectly very nice lay out it was clean service was outstandingly great. Definitely will be going back. Ok now for a review of TA Outlet. read more

Ate at Sumela Thursday for lunch. Met a business friend who was not excited about this place. He said afterwards it was the best lunch in a long time. I will always think of Sumela first, now he will too. We both had Sumela sampler, cannot pick best part, because it was all excellent. The white bean salad was a really nice side. Service was fast and friendly, place was clean, patio was perfect. read more

Been wanting to try this place for some time so decided to give it a try for lunch. They had a decent selection of all the typical Mediterranean dishes. Ordered the kebab lunch special for $9.00 which includes only a single kebab and two sides. The meat portion of the meal was beyond paltry. Couldn't have been more than 3 ounces of meat. It would make a terrific kids menu choice though. Pasta salad is beyond sweet but the rice was good, ( yay? ) Had the Turkish meat pie as well but had to search hard to find the meat in it. This may actually be a great establishment for vegans Nice people and good parking read more

I go here occasionally when I get a hankerin' for lamb - but it's kind of tough so I have to slice very thin. The Greek salad is pretty good with a special cucumber dressing. read more

This restaurant is excellent especially the lamb. The amount of food was enough for two lunches the following week. When I asked for a "to go" box, they brought extra bread to add to what I was taking home. The staff was courteous and attentive but not annoying. I have lived in High Point for years and never tried this place. It's now a favorite. read more

This has to be one of my new favorite spots in town. Had a super craving for some Greek food, and hit mark. I got a Mediterranean wrap with extra tiziki sause. It was super fresh, grilled chicken cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Wife got the lamp platter with rice, bean salad and vegetables. Let's just says I cleared what she couldn't finish. Definitely making this one of my go to spots whenever we visit High Point. read more

The gyro meat at this place looks like school mystery meat but has an ok taste but I'm not sure how fresh it is.

One of the decent and reasonable Mediterranean food in Greensboro area. The food taste good and fresh . Have eaten here a lot of times . The quality is consistent. Don't miss out the Turkish tea read more

Wonderful ! This is the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. A revelation ! And good portions at a fair price. We live in the neighborhood and have watched several restaurants fail at this location. If enough people give this new place a try it will surely beat the odds and prosper. Fabulous healthy reasonably priced food - what more can one ask of a comfortable neighborhood place? Go try it! read more

We go here on occasion for lunch or dinner. We've ordered the steak kabobs which are delicious. The falafel and hummus are yummy too. Service was excellent and our cups were kept filled. read more

I would probably rate this place 2.5 stars. I had the Duran Adana pita with piyaz on the side and a piece of baklava. My husband had a gyro with fries. Both meals were pretty unremarkable. I never had Adana before which was supposed to be spicy ground beef and lamb, but it was not spicy and was a bit on the dry side. The piyaz was also a new dish for me and it was just okay, but a healthier alternative to the bland fries my husband was served. The baklava was the weirdest I've ever had (and I've had lots.) The filo had almost a pie crust texture. Nothing we ate was bad, but it was just pretty unremarkable and not very authentic. read more

A great place into town on Main Street in High Point N.C. All kinds of Mediterranean food.

The food was AMAZING!! Turkish food, the Sumela sampler was great. Hidden GEM! The owner Mehmet, came out to greet us. Service was very good

Good food but their food truck is not the type of vendor you want for your wedding or special event. Like all caterers, they were required by the venue and the customer to bag up the trash resulting from their food service. They were told this when the arrangements were made and again once they were on site for the wedding. But instead, they left it for the bride and groom to do. They didn't bring any containers for the leftovers, so they put all of the food in dishes that belonged to the venue. The mother of the bride and the family was running around at the end of the reception trying to figure out what to do. They couldn't take the dishes from the venue home. What was this vendor thinking. In the end, the wedding party got stuck with most of the vendor's cleanup and the leftovers had to be thrown out. read more

Great little place for a quick lunch. Food was nothing special but it is timely and satisfying. I ordered the gyro. It was a little bland but not bad. read more

Used to be "Main Street Grille." Everything on the menu is great and the owners are super nice. Close to the hospital and downtown. Vegetarian options. One of our favorites!!!! They deliver only to businesses-- if they delivered to residences they would get a ton of business from us read more

We were in town for a wedding and looking for a good place for lunch. Eight of us had many of the items from the menu and all of them were great! Lots of compliments on the falafel, hummus, gyros, and grape leaves. The service was very good and the wait staff extremely friendly. Oh, and did I mention the desserts??? Over the top! read more

We ate at Sumela for the first time today. The food was fresh and delicious. Mandy was our server. What a delight she was! If you eat here and we think you would like it, ask for Mandy. read more

If you're hungry don't order from the lunch menu. I paid 11-12$ for a chicken kabob platter and drink. After more than 15 minutes wait, the food came. Chicken kabob skewer had only 4 small pieces of meat with the fat not cleaned up, a small portion of rice and fries. Needless to say, I left the store hungry. Food didn't taste bad, but I couldn't justify paying 12$ for that amount of food I got at all. read more

This is a neighborhood gem! Our second visit to Sumela with our son was as terrific as the first time we came with friends. Sumela, which refers to a Christian monastery in Northern Turkey, opened about two months ago. It is a casual, family owned and run Mediterranean and Turkish. restaurant with a warm,friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The food is terrific with lots of variety. We had generous portions of babaganoush and white bean salad for appetizers with lamb Adana and gyro kebabs, served with tomatoes and peppers. Next time We want to try the seafood. Tonite we sat in the garden, a nice plus in the unusually warm weather. Walking through the restaurant feels like a trip to Turkey. Indeed, tonite the restaurant had a man playing a Turkish guitar-like instrument, adding to the pleasantness of this restaurant. With prices reasonable, terrific service, great and varied food and warm atmosphere, Sumela is a welcome addition to our neighborhood! read more

Excellent flavors and authentic ingredients. Reminded me of the tastes I experienced while serving in Turkiye. I will definitely visit again, this time for dinner. I only felt the lunch prices were high for the amount of food provided. read more

Went here for dinner with about 12 other people and everyone agreed that the food was great. I ordered the Sumela Sampler and it was awesome, all of the meat was very tender and moist and the pita bread was warm and delicious. The staff was really on the ball and considering how large our group was we had really quick service. The baklava was by the far the best I have ever had. This place goes on my list of repeats. read more

My 4-year-old and I had a spontaneous lunch here yesterday. She ordered the pita pizza from the children's menu, which she ate without complaining. Basically it was homemade pita bread for the crust, with generic sauce/cheese stuff on top. I ordered the $5 appetizer size of tabbouleh and $9 mixed appetizer, which came with warm pita bread, hummus, baba ghanoush, stuffed grape leaves, and biyaz (a white bean salad). All the portion sizes were fine, although I would have liked 3 or 4 stuffed grape leaves instead of just 2 since they were pretty small. The baklava was a square about 1.5 inches wide for $1.40. Flavor-wise, I do not typically enjoy the smoky tang of baba ghanoush, but I enjoyed their version as it was very mild. Honestly, everything could have done with just a bit more punch of flavor and freshness, but it was still an okay meal for lunch. If I were to nitpick on the tabbouleh, I found bite-size pieces of Romaine lettuce and also a few bits of red/purple cabbage, almost as if it had been mixed with a little bit of bag salad. I hadn't seen those ingredients in a tabbouleh before. I only ate about half of it. It is definitely a very casual place for lunch/dinner, but it was clean and kept up. Not even a bit of dust on the silk flower on our table. You order at the front counter for lunch, and then it's brought to your table. Since I paid with a debit card, I left the tip space blank and then left a cash tip after our meal. Not sure if a tip would even be needed because the only thing the gal did was bring the food over. Drinks are self-serve from the machine, and she did not return to our table at all. (I'm not even sure she was "supposed" to check on us, that's how casual it is.) The only downside was she did not bring the baklava I had ordered, and I had to go back up to the front for it and to ask for a take-out box for our leftovers, since I could never catch her attention otherwise. But the guy who took our order and got the dessert for us was courteous and friendly and greeted us the moment we walked inside. Overall, a decent place for homemade Mediterranean-style food in High Point where we will probably eat again, especially after trips to the city library which is one block down. read more

Great food! Jeremy and Anna are the best servers. We dine there at least once a week and have always had a great experience. Please try their mix appetizer Hummus, Baba Gounush, stuffed grape leaves, and piyaz served with pita bread. SO GOOD read more

a friend took me there, and the first time I really enjoyed it. greek salad and spanakopita were both good. so I brought a friend there and was so disappointed!! I had the same thing, as my first visit and this time the spanakopita was not very good, not cooked all the way, the phyllo was still doughy. As for the salad I ate half and wrapped up the rest to take home. My last bite I bit down on something hard. I took it out of my mouth and at first it appeared to be a piece of glass, but no, it was a piece of hard plastic. broken off from something? I showed it to my friend and when the waitress came over I showed her and she said that she didn't know what it could be from and she would show "him". we stayed talking for probably another ten minutes and no one else every came to our table. I was really disappointed! To just totally ignore a customer who found a foreign object in their food like that was just unacceptable! They weren't very busy at all so I don't know why they ignored it but Needless to say we won't be back. read more
