The food was amazing. Service was quick and courteous. Portion size is huge! We ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it was enough to fill us both up! We will be adding this to our rotation of date night locations. read more

We just ate here for the first time. The food was excellent; the gyro was exactly like I remember when I was in Greece. The service was great- we will definitely eat here again! read more

Came here right before 11. I was their first customer today. Ordered the gyro sandwich and fries. It was fresh and tasty. I asked for salt for my fries and the man replied we don't have any our food is already salted. Never had a restaurant not have salt and pepper. Some of us like a bit more salt. The gyro meat was pretty good but could of been a bit more marinated. The place was clean and pricers were very good for the large portion. They had their young son take my order and rang me up which was great! Love seeing kids learning their family business. Found this place through Yelp, while working in the area. I would come again and try other dishes. They have their own parking which is good too. read more

Bateeni - Gyro and fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Goldsboro, North Carolina

Had their kufta kabab plate the kebab was tasty! Rice was good, too. Hummus was just okay, as it needed a bit more flavor. The plate was served with hummus and rice but no salad. We also ordered their lamb kabob plate and it came the same way. Would prefer if they had a light salad with this plate. Pita was average and didn't taste homemade. I also ordered their baklava and it was soggy, tasted stale and not good at all. I was very disappointed. read more

This place is amazing. Have always kept coming back. five Star Service, Five Star Food.

The restaurant has its own parking space in front of the mall. It is not in the mall. It is near the jeweler. The restaurant is small, clean and quiet. The employees are friendly. The food is amazing! Very authentic. the portions are generous, and the prices are unbelievable For what you get! I recommend the Bettini sampler for a little bit of everything. My husband's chicken wrap was also very good. I feel like more people need to know about this place. GOLDSBORO, You have a dynamite Mediterranean restaurant right by the mall where you can eat healthier, and for less money than nearby franchises. Check out Bateeni you won't be sorry! I'm thinking of using their catering services; it would be a hit! read more

Both got plates. Phenomenal portion sizes. Rice & meat spiced well and not overly oily. Recommend the tabbouleh and hummus as sides.

Woweeee what a great experience, love this place! I spent time on the Middle East and what can I say, this place is legit. Incredible falafel sandwich, first rate hummus and the lemonade is epic. All handmade, and served with a smile. Totally recommend :). read more

there was two people in the whole restaurant, a young boy either 13- 14 years old at the register and I guess it was his father was in the back of the restaurant. The falafel was so hard. I could've used it for a football and his gloves were dirty and he's wiping the back of his face with his arms while he's serving the order. When I got home, I took.took one bite when I got home of hummus itwas sour. It was terrible. I spent 34 dollats i'd never go back. I'd rather go to Raleigh. And the presentation of the whole terrible platter. It's like he just threw it in there. I do not recommend this restaurant. There's a restaurant in Raleigh, which should take me an hour to get there. It's called Tsinkii. There's one in Holly Springs. Not too far about an hour ago I do not recommend this restaurant. I gave them one star because I had to give them something in order to comment on the restaurant. read more

Stepped into Bateeni for some light lunch due to the gorgeous weather. All I can say is, WOW. Authentic Mediterranean flavors, incredibly fresh veggies, and polite staff. I love this place. We got a small hummus, a chicken gyro, and a beef bowl. This place is a must if you love rich flavors and a perfect tzatziki! read more

Bateeni - Mediterranean Near Me - Goldsboro, North Carolina

This is the second time that we have ordered and got home to find the order was wrong. Missing the extra pita points both times plus the beef kebabs were so overdone tonight that they couldn't be eaten. I love Mediterranean, but this is not to the quality I expected at these prices. If you can't get my order right, it's really not worth having to travel all the way back for you to get a second chance. Very disappointed. read more

Traveling through the area I was looking for local restaurants and I stumbled upon a Bateeni. Such an amazing spot. I will be back! Food was very fresh, I ordered the beef Shawarma plate with Turkish salad and grape leaves. I also picked up a Gyro sandwich. I have no idea why there's not a line out the door, but I will be back. Great customer service, and very clean. 10 / 10 read more

Always welcomed with a smile, food is excellent and fresh! Loveeeee their mint lemonade! You can tell the food is made daily and not leftovers from the day before. Service is just as great! read more

Excellent food every time I have ordered! Falafel and gyros outstanding and generous, delicious fries. Highly recommend trying their sides... I love the cabbage though it is an aquired taste for sure! read more

The place has never been busy as far as I've seen, however it deserves more recognition. The foods always great, cheap, and portions are large. The people are nice and the inside of the store is clean. read more

Food is absolutely amazing! I got the Chicken Gyro with fries and the flavors were amazing! Not sure what the fries were seasoned with but they were absolutely amazing and I wanted more! The amount of food you get for what you pay is well worth it! Waited about 20/30 minutes to get the food, I'm assuming just the owner working and a rush of people at one time. read more

Phenomenal food. Fabulous chicken kabob/rice platter that comes with 2 sides. The fries are great and the Jerusalem salad is wonderful. Mint lemonade is divine. Bateeni is a wonderful small business worth supporting and catering with for all occasions! Has the best falafel I have ever had on the east coast, and it's here in eastern NC!! read more

I went on a lunch date with my wife a few weeks ago. The staff were super friendly and explained all questions we had about their menu and shared good insight and advice on things to order. The food was amazing!! Everything we tried was soooo good with great flavors. We are making this a monthly stop at a minimum. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

The flavor was super tasty, our "to go" tray was very full and I felt like the price was extremely reasonable. Bateeni is getting pretty popular, so the wait to get food is a little longer than expected, but it was totally worth it !! We will definitely return here! read more

I have eaten here multiple times, and have tried many items. Pros: Order is made very quickly. Orders were correct. Friendly staff. Portions are large. Taste was ok. Cons: A lot of my items tasted premade, and just reheated in the restaurant. Some of the items that tasted premade: falafel (exactly like the perfect machine made ones you get at Costco in look and texture), pita, fries, hummus, tzatziki, and possibly more). I don't know if this is actually a fact, just my own experience from tasting similar foods I have purchased prepackaged, and traveling. Even with items that are premade, is still a decent and consistent place to eat in the area for quick food. read more

They don't have hot sauce and this alone makes it a nonstarter. My meat and rice sampling needs the perfect marriage of hot sauce-white sauce to get me out of bed in the morning. read more

Ever have one of those cravings but you can't put your finger on it?? Well, this is my spot to cure that! They make your order fresh and it is always cooked perfectly. The place is a "sleeper" kinda hidden in the mall parking lot, but I am so glad I found it. Check it out and support my new friends at Bateeni.. I'll be here. read more

Excellent Mediterranean Food. Falafel, humus, babaganoush, tzatziki, tabouli, stuffed grape leaves, lamb kabobs, rice, garlic sauce (toum), cabbage salad and olives, all excellent and freshly made. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Very casual, friendly service. read more

My dish was homemade and excellent. I had tabouleh salad with chicken. I had never seen meat on tabouleh but loved it. Next visit I will try the baklava. Great food and nice owner. Jane H and Danny read more

Friendly and efficient service! Last minute dinner, walk-in to-go order. The lamb was tender, perfectly cooked and amazingly seasoned as well as the chicken. Hummus was fresh and something new. Rice was extremely tasteful and tasted fresh. Highly recommend! read more

Chicken swarma was really good, food came out quick. Nice customer service. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu

I have just finished the sampler platter at Bateeni and i can say without a doubt that everything on the platter, from grape leaves to baba to hummus to falafel etc etc was the very best I have ever eaten. You should know I eat Mediterranean food every chance I get. I am from NY just passing through on my way to vacation. I will stop here again on my way home., no doubt. People are friendly. Ambiance is none existent read more

Great Falafel! Happy to have a place like this in Goldsboro, NC. Thoroughly enjoy the food.

Easy to order online. The cashier was friendly. The chicken kabobs were delicious! I'll be back!

Food was delicious (had the lamb gyro w/stuffed grape leaves), portion was very nice and service was quick and friendly.

Delicious Greek menu and portions are pretty large as well. I love the falafel & chicken shawarma.

I have been here quite a few times and enjoy it the customer service is also great. Pricing is overall reasonable as well I will continue to dine here. read more

Food was amazing. Best gyro I have ever had . This was the first time ordering and we loved the food, definitely will be ordering again

We stopped based on the reviews and were very pleased. Food was excellent. Fresh, excellent pita bread. We were traveling with our small, well behaved dog and they let us bring him in with us as it was too hot to leave him in the car. Highly recommend. read more

What Goldsboro has long been in need of!! Bateeni has become the little gem of our family. When we want to enjoy an amazing Mediterranean meal that is so delicious and well made. As a kid My Grandmother took me to eat at a Mediterranean restaurant all the time.. and having that little piece of home here in Goldsboro is wonderful. You will NOT a regret ordering from Bateeni! read more

Good place to eat! Portion was great! Would come back again. I ordered the gyro and fries and the fries had a really great seasoning on them. read more

recommendation from a friend. I ordered the lamb/beef gyro w/ fries and and side of baklava. The gyro was packed full of lamb and beef, as well as fresh veggies and taziki sauce. The portions were huge and worth the price. The restaurant was cleaned and the workers were friendly and inviting. The service was a bit slow, however it was during the lunch rush so I won't fault them for that. Definitely recommend trying if you're looking for something different in town. read more

If I could give a - I would. The service was horrible. I articulated my order but did not receive what I requested. Then when I called the restaurant they tried to justify the incorrect order. It's unfortunate that this is the way of the food service industry. read more

Portion was large, and the food was great!! I would definitely recommend. I ordered the Falafel Gyro.
