A favorite place for us. Fresh food and friendly staff keeps us coming back. It offers a comfortable atmosphere as well to dine in but I see they do a fair amount of takeout too. Be sure to check this place out. read more

Charlie's Kabob Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

My husbands go-to lately has been Greek, so we're lucky to have found this place! Their classic gyro (Hercules) is satiating and perfectly simple. Their tzatziki sauce was impeccable and not too heavy. Be mindful that it doesn't come with fries or a side, so you have to order the combo to get any sides or extras. My favorite thing to try at any Greek place are the dolmas - there are definitely worth trying! Fresh and flavorful! read more

Great spot for authentic Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food! The gyro is amazing, and everything tastes super fresh. Very friendly place.

I love the lunch specials during the week and I have used their catering service. Great long standing business.

This is quickly becoming one of my go to restaurants in Wake Forest. The food is delicious and fresh. The staff are so kind and attentive. It's a really cute inside dining too. Thanks again... see you again soon read more

I get my nails done at the salon a few doors from Charlie's Kabob's, and have been wanting to check them out. I went for dinner on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. There were a few families there dining when I arrived, and a couple of people in front of me. A lot of people arrived after I did. Charlie's Kabob's is very spacious, there's plenty of seating inside and some outside. It's a very welcoming atmosphere and the staff was pretty friendly. I ordered the lamb kabob platter, and chose my side as spanakopita. It comes with pita and tzatziki. The food is made to order, which is great. There was kind of a wait, but I don't mind when it's made to order. I opted to dine in, so they brought my food to me. The presentation was ok. I was super excited to try the food. It wasn't love at first bite for me. The spanakopita was too greasy, but it would have potential if it was less greasy. The lamb was a bit tough, but was seasoned well. The tzatziki was perfect. On to the desserts. I absolutely love baklava and order it almost always at Mediterranean restaurants. It would've been delicious if it didn't have the stale refrigerator taste. The Greek donuts were good although a little over fried. Overall, I didn't love my meal as I hoped for. But I'd definitely give them another chance in a weekday. read more

charlie's kabob I was in Wake Forest and craving some mediterranean food, so Charlie's Kabob seemed like the perfect place to grab dinner to-go. I ordered around noon for pickup at 6:15 and my order was ready right on time. I definitely ordered too much food - the portion sizes are very fitting to the price. The greek salad came with tzatziki, tahini, and a spicy dressing on the side, which was creamy, perfectly spicy, and delicious in the salad. The salad was still fresh and crunchy lettuce leaves by the time we got home and ate it. The classic gyro was a solid take on a gyro, with the meat juicy and tender and the right amount of tzatziki to add that creaminess. The kafta kabob was seasoned perfectly - maybe a little dry but delicious when dipped in tzatziki. The chickpea salad was also seasoned nicely and made for a good, refreshing side. I also ordered a chicken kabob (not realizing how much food there already was in the order) and this was cooked and seasoned nicely as well, with good grill flavor. Lastly, ordering online came with a free dessert and they gave us greek donuts! These were delicious fried pastry balls covered in a yummy cinnamon sugar and cinnamon sauce. Overall this is a solid place for quick, mediterranean cuisine! Service and food were everything I could ask for from a fast casual Mediterranean place. read more

Ordered a chicken gyro with no tahini sauce sub garlic aioli...she charged me $1 to sub. Then changed out fries for pasta salad and there's an up charge too. Overall food is decent but a bit overpriced. Go to Sassool...they don't charge for garlic aioli for your plate. read more

Recommended place if you are hungry and craving Mediterranean cuisine. I ordered the veggie platter for takeout online. I was not sure by using the online ordering system if and how much falafel and pita it came with. Therefore as my sides I chose falafel, tabouli, and baklava and then paid extra for hummus and pita. As a result, I could not finish it all in one sitting - but it wasn't quite two servings. The falafel and tabouli were the stars of the show. The falafel had a great flavor and texture. The tabouli was also packed with flavor. The baklava was okay, too greasy and tough for my taste. The texture of the pita was ideal, however, it was cut up too small to hold anything. Pros: - Reasonable prices - Adequate portions - smaller than comparable restaurants, but enough to fill you up. - Fresh vegetables and herbs - Carryout and dine-in options available - Online ordering quick and easy - They offer whole wheat pita Cons: - Parking can be tricky if you go at a busy time read more

My husband and I are new to the area and we found Charlie's kebab Grill. The food is delicious! My husband got the Shawarma and I had hummus with pita bread. Everything was delicious and the service was charming. The baklava was delicious. They have pistachio and walnut. Both were wonderful. We highly recommend. read more

Eat there often, food is tasty, service is good! The Phoenix is tasty, it's my favorite. their Tzatziki sauce is the best I've eaten.

This Kabob shop is in a small shopping plaza and you may miss it if you didn't know it was there. Stopped for our first time this week for takeout after hearing about this place in a local moms group. Ordering by phone was quick and easy, the staff member was nice and able to answer all questions. The food was ready on time. Back at the house we found all of our meals to be the appropriate temperature for each dish, fresh and super tasty!!! We loved everything we ordered! Our options were the lamb kabob plate, small greek salad, taziki with pita, hummus and pita and the gyro meat super bowl. This will easily become one of our new favorites!! read more

Charlie's is our favorite place for lamb. It melts in your mouth! I love the spanakopita with it and the generous portion of tzatziki sauce with the pita bread. My husband loves the Greek salad with his lamb plate. Always good food, good service and they even remember what we order! read more

Always a great place to eat! Gyros are awesome! Lamb is delicious. Both places are great. Oh and the Baklava is to die for...

Nice large dining space with take out available. The staff is normally super friendly and gets to know their customers. Food is pretty good. Most of the time no problems! read more

This was our first visit and we will come back. The food was fresh and warm. We won't eat in restaurants so we pick things up. The food was almost ready when we got there, and it was so fresh. We both had Hercules Gyro, and my husband had fries and I had side Greek salad. Everything was so good! We will be back. read more

Typically, the service and food here is delightful. But today, the service took a deep dive. I called to place an order for pickup, the lady who answered asked me to hold on and proceeded to talk to a coworker before hanging up on me. When I called back, a young man answered the phone. When I indicated I'd been hung up on, no apology was offered and he just proceeded to ask what I wanted to order. I provided my order a bomb platter, a chicken kabob kids tray, and an additional steak kabob. I had to ask what time the order would be ready. And was told 12:30. When I arrived at the restaurant at 12:30, I approached the counter and the unfriendly woman who had previously hung up on me told me you'll need to wait a few minutes, they're still packing your order. I'm standing at the register for 5 minutes with no attempts from her to ring me up. When they approach her with my packaged meals she gives me the total ~$26. I pay and then she lists my order afterwards. A bomb platter and two kids kabob meals. I indicated that this was not correct, that it should have been one kids tray with an additional kabob. She proceeds to roll her eyes, rudely. I'm not certain whether it was directed at me or the young man who took the order. She then restated the issue in a tone as if I was annoying her, by them getting my order wrong! She finally says, well they're the same price... an additional kabob and the kids kabob tray. (I'm not certain that is true...) I just left because I was disgusted with the attitude. She needs an attitude adjustment, fast. This is a horrible decline to a business that has always had kind, efficient employees. read more

Service was great! The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. I had the Gluten Free Troy with a side salad. Everything was amazing. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. The beef sirloin was cooked perfectly, so tender. I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for lunch at Charlie's. Excellent Mediterranean-style fast casual food. It's a varied menu with a wide variety of choices. You order at the counter, they bring the food to the table. There are about a dozen tables, plus a few outside. There's also a small market on one side where a variety of exotic sounding foodstuffs are available. I had the Troy, one of several pita combinations. The Troy is a generous portion of bite sized chunks of sirloin, garnished with diced tomatoes, fresh lettuce and topped with tzatziki sauce, all wrapped in a warm pita. The sirloin was great - very tender, medium rare, and cut into pieces small enough for one bite. The veggies are fresh and the store-made tzatziki creamy and delicious. I had a side order of fries as well.... Standard frozen fries but cooked nice and crispy, perfect for dipping in ketchup. The tab was $10.50, pushed to the expensive side by the $2.50 fries. The meal was delicious, as it always is, and the team is friendly and efficient. Recommended. read more

I ordered this through Uber eats, and it taste absolutely delicious considering that it was delivery. I ordered the chicken Gyro, with a side of fries and there is absolutely no way I'll be able to finish this tonight. It is a massive portion and it's pretty reasonably priced! Chicken is tender and not rubbery, and has lots of flavor. I'm interested to try the falafel next and the different salads that they have. I will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

We needed a little Mediterranean for dinner and this place was close. We ordered the 2 kabob platter+ sides (Greek pasta, baba ganoush and grape leaves) and the Kafka gyro... The veggie kabob is definitely lacking, it's maybe a tomato and onion and that's about it. The Kafka kabob was a decent portion of Kafka. Mix the two together and it's not a bad meal, but by themselves, the veggie is lacking. The sides, the Greek pasta was a pass while the other 2 were very good. The gyro, Didn't feel like there was much meat. The sauce takes over the entire gyro. Not sure what was really in it besides sauce and pita. read more

Food is good but the portion to cost ratio for the sides is way off. The sides are pretty small for the prices that they charge. The baba ganoush was one of the best I've had as well as the gyro meat. Very delicious. The rest of the menu I experienced was fine. I'm not in a rush to go back. I'd say try the place for yourself and see what you think. It's not the top of my list though for this food category. read more

Charlie's is so good - we typically order the Tripoli kabob platter. As you can see from picture below, it's a lot of food! Three kabobs and three sides are included. The kabobs are seasoned so well, they have that yummy grill flavor combined with the spices. Perfection! The tatziki is delicious, pasta salad is good, and the hummus and pita finish off the meal. Keep in mind, Charlie's isn't cheap. The Tripoli platter plus three extra chicken kabobs and one drink set me back $26+, but it is a lot of food. Three of us split that amount of food, so it works out to be not that costly. Very fresh, flavorful food and very friendly employees combined with a spotless restaurant ensure that we will be back! read more

Last night was my first time visiting and I'm obsessed! I live in CT so I'm pretty bummed we don't have this restaurant by me. We ordered SO much food! Three gyros, three sides of babaganoush, a large Greek salad, side of Lebanese rice, spanakopita, grape leaves, extra pita bread, side of felafel, Greek pasta, one baklava, a Gatorade, and a chocolate milk. All of this came out to be $41! For someone who lives in CT, this was SO cheap!! The food was amazing and I got to try new foods because of the affordable prices (now I'm hooked on babaganoush). Even my fiancé who doesn't like Greek food enjoyed this place! read more

Twice I've ordered in the past month and twice they've either omitted items, mixed up orders, or straight up gotten them wrong, the food is good but lately it feels like a dice roll every time I order from them. read more

Food was excellent and service was quick. I had the traditional gyro called the Hercules with a small Greek salad. My wife and I will certainly be coming back! read more

1.) Size of order smaller than what I think I paid for. 2.) I ordered Kafta plate and personally, I thought there was too much salt on this meat and it was dry. Possibly it was under a lamp or not cooked to order. 3.) Generally speaking the food tastes good but for $9.45 per plate I think it should have been a BIGGER piece of meat, larger portion of baba ghanoush and tzatziki. The staff on this day seemed distracted and inattentive to the crowd that had formed in the open area by the deli. I also thought that the prep time for a simple plate of lamb sausage and cold appetizers was too long. Apparently this seems to be the normal way they operate. I don't know if I will be back. It seemed so mediocre, though the food was ok. read more

Ah freaking amazing. Authentic Lebanese food with an amazing staff and customer service. Even if they were shitty ppl I would still come here to eat, but luckily they are as authentic and awesome as the food!! The meat is so tender and juicy, baba is so smoky and rich. Everything is so good!! No need to fly back to nyc for good middle eastern food! read more

Stopped in for a quick late lunch after being on the road from Virginia. The young gentleman behind the counter eagerly assisted with menu options and I chose the Byblos steak sandwich. He cooked it up on the grill for me and I was able to dine in. Steak was great, cooked to order perfectly. I have a real sweet tooth and left with Baklava which I ate later. OMG good Baklava!!! read more
