Wonderful food, wonderful people! My daughter ate here regularly while attending NCSSM and she's pretty picky, esp with Mediterranean food.In fact the night before graduation I asked her where she would like to eat for her last meal in Durham and this was her immediate choice! Thanks for taking such great care of my child and feeding her so well while she was away these past 2 years. I appreciate you!
This place is literally the best outside of the Mediterranean. Food is great and authentic and the owners are some of the best people I've ever met. If you haven't tried them yet, give it a shot. I've been going here with my family since I moved to Durham in 2007. I now live in KC and still give this place a visit everytime I'm in the area.
Hadn't been in 25 years and the quality was still wonderful. The outdoor seating was a plus on a beautiful spring day. Oh, their hot sauce was the bomb.
Kofta was Like eating paper. The kofta was mostly veggie, bland, dry, and cold. Ive lived in the middle east so I know what kofta should taste like.The plus: one of the staff noticed and gave us complimentary baklava. Maybe something else on the menu will be better.
Good food and good service
Polite staff, unique ambiance, and decent food. The mint tea is amazing! Great place to share lunch and food with friends.
Absolutely excellent food. Everyone should try their Philly cheesesteak. Thanks, Emad & Fam!
Falafels and sandwiches were all awesome.Hummus is wonderful.Will be going back for sure.
We have heard great things about this local spot and were excited to try it. We ordered the international sampler and chicken shawarma with grape leaves. The best part of the meal was the falafel but the shawarma chicken was dry and not flavorful, looked old even - probably should have returned it. Hummus, tabouli and rice were all flavorless and the grape leaves were warm and soggy. Service was lacking and food was not worth the $30. Definitely a bummer of an experience and wouldn’t recommend as there are much better places in Durham.
Delicious food, Great Service, and an overall awesome experience ! Highly recommend this establishment !
