    7/19/2019 - Lamb Platter
    Eddie P.

    Food: 4 Service: 5 Ambience: 4 Date/Time: 7/19/2019 7:30pm Order: Lamb Platter (sub Tabouli for salad), Mediterranean Platter Crowd: 2 other tables occupied In a search for a Greek Fiesta replacement, this one comes close. The chicken has a different but tasty spice to it and is tender. The tabouli is very good and similar in quality. The hummus is plain and more of a smoother texture with a stronger lemony taste. It's very good but my preference leans more toward a thicker texture (usually from leaving the shell on the garbanzo beans). The menu offerings and prices are in line with other similar places. Unlike Greek Fiesta, the service here is very quick and with friendly faces. And the orders are accurate. The restaurant is small but has plenty of tables (about 15) and is kept up and clean. The noise level was medium when 4 tables filled up. Would definitely recommend it! ======= Update 5/4/2020 Finally found a permanent home in Taza Grill for great Mediterranean to replace Greek Fiesta! Haven't been to many food places since COVID but have kept going to Taza now twice a week to help keep them afloat. Highly recommend you try them! The owners are very friendly and accommodating! ---------- Update 5/23/2020 Now open for dining in @ 50% capacity

    Looking to try sth new and came over based on yelp reviews and glad I did. We ordered for lunch Lamb platter - salad was fresh . The lamb was flavorful and not overpowering Falafel platter - falafel cane in 4 medallion shape. Seasoned relatively light and not as overpowering as some other places. The pita bread was soft and warm. Will try again for sure.

    I came here and all 3 employees had no mask, no gloves... nothing. And all 3 of them were handling food and/or drink cups. We still ended up getting food but I sorta wish we hadn't. We both got the gyro combo which comes with fries and a drink for $10.99. I got chicken for the gyro. The gyro was freshly made but ended up being pretty bland. The chicken had minimal seasoning and the chunks were large, and the only noticeable flavor came from the tzaziki, which you don't get in every bite. The fries were also freshly made but very bland. No salt or seasoning at all. They have seasoning in the back you can add but we just happened upon it - they didn't mention or suggest it. The service was "eh" regardless of the lack of masks. But with no masks on top of that? Yikes. If I want to spend $11 per meal I'll probably look elsewhere.

    Went for lunch and was surprised at the amount of foot traffic they have walking in - very busy and amazingly, it seemed the owner behind the counter new half the people by name. They must be doing something right with such a high number of regulars that clearly keep coming back. Despite what the sign says, my gyro was not the "best gyro in town," although it was good and the food was ready instantly (probably because they prepare well for the lunch rush). It's not in my normal driving area but if back on that side of town, I'd give it another try. Probably 3.5 stars just on food (just a gyro and fries) but the service bumped it up enough I'd 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. Fast casual Mediterranean/Lebanese : 4.5

    I usually go to the Cary location for multiple catering orders that I place per month. The people…read moreat the Cary location have been very polite, friendly and helpful. 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

They weren't wrong. We were out on their patio on a summer evening, a mix of fans and a good cross breeze kept it nice and the vibey decor helped us learn into the summer heat. Shared plates, roasted flavors and a cocktail driven menu sets the theme. We started out with a few amazing spreads then shared large format fish, beef and veg. For the starters, the roasted carrots and the roasted eggplant spreads were served up with home made pita served piping hot! Both spreads were delicious, balancing savory and a hint of sweet with just enough spice to add depth w/o taking away from the natural veggie flavors. The fried haloumi was gobbled up so fast I almost didn't get a picture of it! For the mains, we had the fried fish which was ZOMG!!!! Flaky but still juicy, bathed in this east Asian inspired sauce and sprinkled with fresh herbs that gave the whole dish a pop! The kids destroyed most of it. The Short rib fell apart with a fork!! Enough said!! And the charted cabbage and broccoli was such a crowd favorite we almost got another order but had to leave room for dessert. The table shared the strawberry shortcake and I opted for an espresso martini that was both sweet and balanced and so smooth you could take it in one glug. The shortcake was a hit with the kids and parents! The cocktails were all perfectly balanced and the service was immaculate. No notes from me except to check this place out!!

We ordered the grape leaves, baklava, namoora and tabbouli. I am Lebanese and these are staples in our home. The grape leaves were extremely dry and tough. The rice was very undercooked and the leaves themselves were so dry and tough we could barely chew through them. We ordered 12 and thought maybe it was a fluke but all 12 were completely inedible and we threw them out immediately. The baklava was okay, nothing to write home about. Very simple syrup forward and you couldn't taste much else (we ordered the walnut). The namoora was stale. Very dry. Namoora should melt in your mouth with with a slight chew. This was again, tough and stale. We threw those out as well. Lastly, our favorite salad, tabbouli. The lemon taste was nonexistent. The parsley wasn't chopped fine as Tabbouli should be. It was a watery mess. Overall, we won't be back. We spent over $75 on 4 items and left feeling hungry and bamboozled. There are other Lebanese food spots to visit in the Raleigh area, I will stick to those. Please do better when representing Lebanese cuisine. 15 workers behind the counter can seem like you're doing something right but in the end, it all comes down to the freshness and authenticity of what you are claiming to serve.
