Neomonde is my instant pick for people who want to know what to eat around here in Morrisville…read more This restaurant is suitable for a business lunch, a decent dinner, and even if you know nothing about a person's particular palate, there will be something on this menu to satisfy. There are so many ways you can go with Neomonde's selection. They have a cold and hot bar selection where you can pick and choose things that you want right in front of you. They also have an a la carte menu where they make your food to order. And lastly, they have a small market of pita bread and other Mediterranean items that you can take home with you. The options themselves are plentiful. There are so many different types of dips, salads, wraps, kabobs, shwarmas, you name it! You're going to want it all once you step in and see the selection. My assessment of the food is that items are comforting, familiar, and easy going. They make a good hummus and baba ganoush, and I really enjoy the cold veggie salads. I also think their kabobs are great. The reason I think the food is easy going is because a lot of items are on the blander side of things, which is good for most, but I tend to prefer heavy seasoning. Their tzatziki is an example of something that could use an extra ingredient, and I recently had a special stewed chicken dish with cream in it that really lacked seasoning. It was a rustic dish for sure, but was in line with the restaurant over, mild flavors. Neomonde really does all the right things to make itself a viable option for all. The environment is casual, options are a bounty, prices aren't too bad and the food is made for anyone with any restrictions. If you haven't given this place a try, I make this recommendation to you - and then you can soon recommend to others.

Excellent choice for Mediterranean cuisine in Morrisville. The high quality dishes are nutritious…read moreand flavorful. The employees are friendly and efficient. We dined in and ordered at the counter. Honestly I could have read the menu more carefully as I found the ordering a bit confusing. The employees patiently answered my questions and retrieved the items I forgot to pick up before sitting down (like the baklava and side of tzatziki). I chose the pita pocket platter that comes with 2 sides and baklava. I was not sure what comes on the pita. I think you pick a protein? I chose the falafel and loved it. I returned to the counter for extra tzatziki, which accompanied the falafel well. For the sides I picked the kale salad and quinoa tabbouleh. Both I enjoyed. The kale salad does have a strong vinegar/acidic taste to it if you like that. The portions of each item were perfect. I finished off the meal with Ashta with pistachio ($6). I absolutely loved the Ashta. It is strong in rose flavor, which I had hoped for. The desserts are provided at the counter when you pay, while the main entree and sides are brought out to your table. I only wish the menu was a little clearer on the options. Like I mentioned before, this could have been just me and my family that found it confusing. Overall, we had a positive experience here and recommend this restaurant to others!

Service is very friendly, and as quick as possible, considering that stuff seems to be made to order. I ordered a chicken kebab platter which comes over a bed of basmati rice, possibly with saffron. Whatever the rice tasted great and it wasn't dry like at a lot of places. The chicken was marinated in a tangy yogurt-spice mix, grilled and topped with a tahini sauce. Delicious! As sides I got mujadara and roasted vegetables which were also tasty. I'll be back for takeout for sure in the future.

"Bodega-like Mediterranean Grill & Grocery in Parkwood area of Durham"…read more This place is WAY off the beaten path for most, but I'm so happy to have gotten to try it out. Nestled in a little strip between a Muslim school and a mosque is this grill and grocery. We came on a Wednesday evening, and almost every table was already taken by diners. You order your food at a counter, and it has the Middle Eastern foods you'd expect-- kofta, shawarma, gyros, falafel, baba ghanouj, hummus, baklava, etc. I opted for the lamb gyro sandwich with a side of baba ghanouj, and my dining partner had the falafel sandwich. They call your number when it's ready. Food took maybe 10 minutes to receive, so we browsed the market area. It's not a huge selection, but very traditional-- nice seeing so many labels in Arabic, and along with standards (e.g., canned fava beans for Ful Medames), they also had things like frozen chopped mulukhiyah leaves-- that's definitely a rarer sight. Lots of good spices too. The food was EXCELLENT. The lamb was juicy and perfect (unlike what another Yelp review said), the tzatziki sauce was delicious, and the baba ghanouj was perfectly cooked and textured. I had a small bite of the falafel, and it was indeed one of the best I've had in the US. Price was fair, too-- the sandwiches are all under $10 before tax and tip, and making it a combo with side and drink cost just something like $2.50. And service was friendly-- although they called out numbers, they did walk out with the food to try to find and bring you your dishes. And while it was an older space, it was overall still generally clean. Overall, I'd VERY happily come back.

I absolutely love eating the fresh salads and sides at Sassool! It can get pretty busy during…read morelunchtime, so plan ahead if you're in a rush--but that just shows how good the food is. I usually order the two chicken skewer kabobs with rice, a super salad, and the jalapeño cilantro hummus. The hummus is *so* good that I often grab a small container to take with me when I travel. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients, especially with olive oil as a base. They offer both fresh pita and gluten-free pita, which is great for anyone with dietary restrictions. Honestly, I could make a meal just out of all the sides--they're that good. The menu is consistently solid, and I feel like you really can't go wrong with anything you order. It's a perfect spot for a low-key lunch or dinner. Also worth noting: on Tuesdays, kids eat free with a paying adult, which is a great bonus for families. Highly recommend!

The…read morevariety of options is one of the best parts--you can build a plate exactly how you like it, and there's always something that fits what you're in the mood for, whether that's lighter and veggie-forward or something more hearty. Everything tastes consistently fresh, from the salads and sides to the proteins and sauces. The flavors are bright, clean, and well-balanced, and the portions are generous without feeling heavy. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and it's an easy place to relax and enjoy a good meal. It's clear that care goes into both the food and the experience. I've been here multiple times and it's been consistently good every visit. Definitely recommend if you're looking for fresh, flavorful Greek/Mediterranean food with lots of choices.

The chicken shish kabob and lamb kabob were both flavorful and cooked well. Those were definitely the highlights of the meal. The disappointing part was that they were already out of the Doner plate by 2:30 p.m., even though we came for dinner service. It was frustrating because that's one of the main dishes people go there for. What really stopped me from giving this place a higher rating was the condition of the men's bathroom. It was pretty gross, with visible mold and a wet towel on the floor that looked like it was there because of a leaking toilet. A lot of people say the bathroom reflects how clean the restaurant is overall, and honestly that crossed my mind while eating there. The food and service were good, but the restaurant really needs to improve the cleanliness and do a better job keeping popular menu items available.

We love Shawarma, so she ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and I ordered beef shawarma plate. It took longer than we expected to get our food, so we asked Montana to have it packaged to go. There weren't many patrons in the restaurant at the time, and most had already had their meals when we arrived. We were able to get our food within a few minutes after asking for it to go and letting them know we had a movie to go to. We did get a chance to eat some of our food before rushing over to the theater. The beef was seasoned well and tender. The lemon garlic sauce was so good. The rice and vegetables were plentiful, plenty of chickpeas. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it. My daughter gave the Chicken wrap a 7 out of 10. There were some patrons dining in and several pick up orders during the hour we were there. I'd definitely go back and try some of the other menu options.

I ordered a gyro and fries to go, and overall it was just okay…read more The gyro had a good amount of meat, but it lacked flavor and didn't really stand out from other average gyros. Nothing bad, just nothing memorable. The fries were the bigger disappointment. They were plain, slightly soggy, and had no seasoning at all, which made them feel like an afterthought rather than a side worth ordering. Not a terrible experience, but not one that left me excited to come back. It was fine for a quick bite, just nothing that impressed. I ordered to-go so I cannot comment on the interior or the service inside the restaurant.

The space could use some cosmetic updates, but everything was clean and the food was clearly made fresh, which mattered more to me. What we ordered:* Super Mix Grill* Falafel appetizer* Kunefe* Baklava The mix grill was the standout. The meats were tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The flavors were a little different from the Turkish food I'm used to from friends' family cooking, but still very enjoyable. The salad that came with the meal was okay, but not my favorite. Desserts were excellent, both the kunefe and baklava were absolutely worth ordering and a great way to end the meal. My husband said the desserts were a little sweet but they are supposed to be so I ignored him but be prepared for that. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would definitely give it another try. This feels like a good spot for a low-key, no-wait dinner when you're craving Turkish food.

My family ordered chicken Shawarma and two lamb platters, which was equally delicious. In my opinion. The platters came with a lot of bulgar wheat and cabbage salad, which was nice to balance the protein. On our way out we tried the dates and I have never eaten those kind of delicious dates ever before. Place do offer the buffet in the evening. All in all, it was a great place to sit and enjoy with delicious food.
