Awesome food

by niliss15 at Citysearch

One of the very few place where you get really delicious food for a decently cheap price. I go there atleast once a week. The food is more than worth for the price I pay. I can't give any less than a 5 star rating to this place.

Filthy

by Maya516 at Citysearch

Once we paid our food we looked for a table to sit down. Each table was littered with food - under the tables was clumps of old food. The floor was sticky as I walked on it. I asked to speak with the manager twice (once at the cash register and once in the dining area) and she slowly sauntered over. I explained to her the dining area was filthy - she fully agreed! (of course) 2 people did come out to wipe the tables off, but no one cleaned the clumps of food on the floor or the sticky residue. The manager returned with coupons for $3 off. What a ridiculous proposal! $3 off!

Middle Eastern home cooking

by omgtaters at Citysearch

Fresh, tasty, and very easy to eat a healthy meal quickly so it's a great alternative to fast food if you're near one of the Neomonde locations. The hummus, baba ganoujh, and stuffed grape leaves are some of my favorites. The tabouli is excellent but I just happen to prefer mine with a little fresh mint, their's is all (fresh!) parsley. They also bake the only fresh pita in the triangle and sell it at a very reasonable price. The only thing I do not recommend at all is the kibbeh, it's been very dry the couple of times I've gotten it.

• Pros: Food, fresh baked breads
• Cons: dry kibbeh

Great Middle Eastern Food!

by 21ja at Citysearch

This place is one of my staples. The food is delicious and their desserts are wonderful. It is more like a cafeteria-style restaurant where you walk up to the counter, order your food, pay for it, and bring it to the table yourself so if you are looking for a romantic spot or want to be waited on this is not the place. But otherwise this is definitely the place to go. I can't say much about the service though. They try to get you in and out quickly and some of the servers behind the counter are nicer than others. However, considering that you only have to deal with them for literally 1-3 minutes and the food is so good, it isn't an issue. hmm...maybe this is Raleigh's "Soup Nazzi" equivalent! I go here regularly and at prime eating times it is hard to find an open seat. I always see families there. Good vegetarian options. They have sampler plates and the prices are reasonable. I have really liked everything I tried so far but their shawarma, so I wouldn't recommend that particular dish. I am not sure what the other reviewer was talking about when they said this place is expensive. If you order their most expensive meals- a sampler of 4 dishes it is $8 or $9. If you go for a falafel ($4) or a wrap it is less than $5. I don't consider being able to eat an entire meal for $10 or less expensive.

• Pros: Delicious Food at Good Prices
• Cons: Cafeteria Style Eating

A hidden jem!

by tommy16 at Citysearch

You won't find better Mediterranean cuisine in Raleigh. It can be a little confusing when you walk in, but you usually just follow the big line in front of you. The hummus and baba ghanooj are amazing. Lots of choices, and its all a great value. Try try try!

• Pros: Food, pita, perfect for lunch
• Cons: hard to find, confusing at first

Confusing

by shmenkepack at Citysearch

The people were really nice, but not very helpful in explaining what to do for a first-timer. Both my roommate and I got sick from the food we ate, which we think was due to the spinach pies. (We also expected the spinach pies to be more like spanakopita, but it was more like a piece of flat bread with spinach and feta on top. Not as good as I expected.) However, they had a lot of options and different types of food. I will definitely give it another shot.

nice middle eastern flavor

by cheezcurd at Citysearch

This place was stuck in quite the unassuming place, across the railroad behind Waffle House on Beryl. Nice outside dining area, and a good looking, though basic, interior with an ordering, dining, and grocery area. The food came quickly. I ordered a lamb shawarma, which was pretty good, though I've had better in the area. For the price, it could have been a little larger. The pistacio baklava was excellent. Not really a bad value though it seems pricey, and pretty good overall.

• Pros: good mediterranean foor
• Cons: location, just a little pricey

Best Middle Eastern deli around!

by hart70 at Citysearch

I remember this place before they made all of the upgrades a few years ago. It was a wonderful place to get a good, healthy meal on a grad school budget. Although the portions got a little smaller after the renovation, the quality of food didn't suffer at all -- everything is great! The service is equally excellent. Even at $3 a gallon for petrol, I'm willing to make the 25 minute trek from N. Raleigh to eat here.

• Pros: Food, service
• Cons: Location (if you live in N. Raleigh)
