    Chef Mario: great food!
    Jen N.

    We love Chef Mario!! I cannot say enough great things about Chef Mario, both the catering service as well as the breakfast/lunch counter located on Wycliff. The food is outstanding and the service is true perfection! Chef's wife is bubbly, fun, and full of great suggestions to create the perfect catering menu for any event. Every appetizer, entree and dessert is prepared with care by the Chef and his staff. Unique flavors and ingredients are used that will absolutely knock your socks off! All details are monitored with great precision, right down to the color of the linens in comparison to the presentation of the food. The staff are professional and friendly. The breakfast/lunch counter features many scrumptious Chef's specials with really great prices. It's a perfect destination for a break from the office with coworkers. Chef Mario has received a ton of local awards, all of them well deserved! They also have a heart for hunger relief and are tremendous supporters of our local Food Bank. I could gush about Chef Mario for days. Really great people with true culinary talent!

    Yummy salad with seared spinach & potato cakes.

    Al-Basha Market & Grill - Chicken Shawarma wrap

    Al Basha was a great experience! All of us ordered the chicken shawarma wrap combo, which came with…read morea wrap, fries, and coleslaw for around $13. It was a pretty generous amount of food for the price, and everything was solid. The shawarma was solid, the fries were good, and overall it was a satisfying lunch. Honestly, the food by itself was probably more of a 4-star experience for me, but the hospitality is what bumped this up to five stars. Every employee greeted us right when we walked in, and they even gave each of us a cup of their lentil soup to try, "on the house." Multiple employees also checked in during our meal to ask how everything was and whether we were enjoying the food. You could genuinely tell they cared about our experience, and that kind of hospitality goes a long way. Solid food, great value, and even better service. Definitely worth checking out!

    This restaurant has limited seating but a very large market…read more Ordering was just ok, but it's hard to get someone's attention at the register. This happened two times. I went back for a dessert and it took forever to order it . I had a lamb combo with falafel and hummus. We also had a kibbie platter with salad and taziki. Everything was good but our other places are better. There was a big container of hot tea but we had to ask, we were not told it was available. Stars off for poor customer service and smaller portions than some places.

    I'll cut straight to the chase. I LOVE Juicekeys. The only menu item that I've had there is their…read moresmoothie bowls, but I cannot get enough of them. They are so delicious that it is hard to believe they're healthy. I really don't care though. They are that good. It's a charming little shop as well. It's clearly well taken care of. The space is always cleaned to a shine whenever I am in there, with ample seating if you'd like to stay and sit for a while you enjoy your food or drink. The staff is always friendly as well. If you live in the area, they have a $30 membership that actually seems like an incredible deal because of all the freebies you get. I live a few too many minutes away for that. If you are close by though, check that out. It's a little bit pricey for certain, but it's always a joyful splurge when we do indulge ourselves with a smoothie bowl. Check it out for yourself!

    Stopped by Juicekeys over the weekend as I was in the mood for a smoothie bowl. When you arrive…read moreparking can be difficult depending on when you stop by. We ended up parking on a side street and walking over. Walking in the shop has plenty of space for seating, outlets under most seats, and feels health-conscious and welcoming. To order you'll walk to the counter, place your order, and the associate will bring out your smoothie bowl from the kitchen when it's ready. I ordered the Blue-Green Zini Smoothie bowl which contained Coconut Water, Vegan Protein, Cashew Butter, Coconut Sugar, Blueberry, Zucchini, Apple, Banana, Coconut Ice and was topped with House-Made Maple Cream, Banana Chips, Coconut Chips. Just as a heads up, there are only banana chips and coconut on top of this bowl and the fruit is blended. The bowl was excellent. The house made cream really balanced the bowl nicely and it was very refreshing. Highly recommend checking out Juicekeys if you are in the north Raleigh area and looking for a smoothie.

    Food is amazing. Halal Chicken you can tell it's halal…read more Service is so quick and friendly they have lots of drinks to pick from and a nice TV. They have pastries too. The order you see is what we usually get. I would order the cheese on the side if you want crispy! Curly fries are better. Paninis are awesome. You can't go wrong with anything here tbh. The protein shakes too! This is a staple for us in RTP. Worth the drive every time. Thank you for being open late, our main gripe with NC is food closes SO early. Ambiance is fast casual deli pick up style! Maybe like 6 tables and a bar seating near window.

    Unfortunately I forgot to take photos both times I went there with family. We ordered mixed (halal)…read moreplatters, chicken-over-rice & philly cheesesteak sandwich. Philly cheesesteak was the best, seconded by chicken-over-rice. Mixed rice platter was not the best, as compared to other local options. Seating area was good along with so many soda / juice options to choose from. Ambience was not the best during my last trip. I was with my kids & the songs being played on the tv (but only audio & lyrics) were not appropriate for kids at all. I thought it would be one song & that'll be it. But no one at the Deli noticed that there are kids here too, and kept on playing it. I had to take my kids out & had them wait in the car until I pick up the food to-go. It wasn't even that late at night - I believe it was around 6 or 7pm when we went. Service was strictly OK - nothing exceptional or something that I'll remember. I may return because of good food, but definitely not with kids anymore.

    I serve as the Hospitality Committee Chair at Martin Magnet Middle School, and we recently ordered…read morefrom City Barbeque for our Meet the Teacher Night. With so much happening, we appreciated having a convenient option close to our school and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. I arrived early, as usual, and the team was already preparing our order. One employee greeted me warmly before connecting me with Jack, who was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. I watched him carefully check off each item as he packed everything, making sure nothing was missed. Jack also helped carry the order to my car and load it. Another employee, who was already off the clock, stepped in to help as well. Their thoughtfulness made me feel truly taken care of. The restaurant was also clean and well maintained. Our teachers and staff loved the food! The pork, chicken, and delicious sides gave everyone a variety of options, and everything was hot and ready to serve perfect for our busy evening. Thank you to Jack and the City Barbeque team for making the process so easy and helping us take care of our school community. I look forward to returning!

    My second time here, this time with two friends, after a visit to the museum nearby…read more I got the brisket again with no bun, but two different sides. I got the potato salad and the fried okra. I was disappointed in the fried okra, but the potato salad was good and the brisket was very good. I like the sweet BBQ sauce but they have several different kinds. Tea is great too.... The dining room was not very clean....had to search for a clean table, but finally found one, and we came at a down time, it was not busy at all. I did not see anyone cleaning tables the whole time we were there and we sat and talked for awhile. My friends got pulled pork sandwiches and both got mac and cheese. They said it was all good and they had never been here before. The food came out quickly, but was put in take out bags and I know I said it was dine in....oh well, I did take some of mine home for later, but the other two ate all theirs. If it had not been so hot, we would have sat outside. The tables there looked nice. I would return to this location.
