So, I wanted to try something different while in the area. The staff were polite. The meal was placed to go and took about 10 mins to come up. As I waited there were a few guests dining in. The drink machine and utensils area were tidy. Overall the appearance of this location was tidy. I ordered the chicken bowl and grabbed a sweet tea. The pickles in this and sauce drizzled atop weren't a great addition. The bowl was bland, the pickled onions were good and crunchy. However bearing the bottom of the bowl it had little to no flavor on the chicken. The thinly sliced chicken appeared compacted in the bowl and all other ingredients were simply tossed in the bowl. This was unfortunately not an appetizing meal or experience. I'm Not certain that I'd want to try any other items. read more

I have visited this newest Ghassan's spot in the Grandover Village location several times so once it opened. I can't count the number of time I've had the food at the various locations, probably over 100. This small, local chain started in 1970 on what was the then (and remains so for some of us) High Point Road near Stamey's. They moved into a spot vacated by a pancake house and remained there for about 45 years before closing. The menu has been reworked from time to time, but the classics remain as always - Steak and Cheese Sub, Chicken Kabobs with double salad, gyro, falafel, hummus, Beef Kabobs, tabouli, za'atar fries, mezza platter, wraps, chicken salad, and more - and they have number of rice bowls you can choose from - Chicken Shawarma, Harissa Chicken, and others. On my visits here I'v had my favorite, Double Chicken Kabobs with Double Salad , as well as the Mezza Platter, Za'atar Fries, Steak and Cheese Sub, and several Rice Bowls. All good stuff. In my opinion, this restaurant chain offers the best combination of semi-fast food Mediterranean in the area. read more

Many specific options available. All good here. Clean on the inside as well. Had the fries as a side and that was delicious too. read more

When I first moved back to Greensboro in 1989 there was no such thing as Middle Eastern food that I recall until Ghassan's hit the scene. They were truly pioneers as community members and restaurateurs. I was curious to see what they had to offer after my numerous trips to Israel and delighting in true Middle Eastern food from both Jews and Arabs in the Holy Land. I found Ghassan's fine back then and fine now but it always feels like I'm having Middle Eastern - lite!, Over time, subsequent restaurants opened up like Mythos and Nazareth Bread and Odeh's And Sarah's Kabob Shop, and so my visits to Ghassan's waned over the years. It just so happened that I was bringing a friend of mine lunch and she suggested Ghassan's which is near they their house so I thought it was high time to give this place another shot. This location is conveniently placed on Cornwallis, so it is easy to get to and easy to park which I really appreciate. The place looked pretty much the same with its generic façade and interior. I like when ethnic restaurants decorate their establishments with some kind of visual architecture that ties into their cuisine. None of that at Ghassan's, but the the hungry crowd on line did not seem to care! The service was quick and polite and within a few minutes I left with our take-out dishes. Typical stuff. Chicken kabobs with pita bread and hummus and the hummus tasted like it came out of a can. None of us completed our meals and much preferred conversation and friendship over the lunch, which is not a bad thing, but...I can't quite put my finger on it, but this place just does not call to me when there are so many other wonderful Middle Eastern restaurants in the area that have a ethnic flair, tastier, larger portions, better priced, and more appealing. I must take my hat off to Ghassan's for longevity. They were here long before the others and continue obviously to thrive. It's just not my cup of Middle Eastern tea! But, if you are by one of their locations It's certainly worth a stop! I, on the other hand in the future will prefer to drive a little further and get to one of my favorite Middle Eastern haunts that provide me with the portion and price and flair that I am looking for! You do you and I'll do me! That's what makes kebabs and our world go round!! read more

(3.5 stars) The newest location of this Greensboro institution opened recently in the Grandover Village shopping center near Publix. Those who have been to the Battleground or Cornwallis locations (or the old Coliseum-area spot) will find few surprises here. For the uninitiated, Ghassan's serves up thoroughly average food quickly and affordably. Though it doesn't boast a huge menu, Ghassan's offers a fair amount of flexibility. You can go light with a salad, hummus, or falafel bites, dig into a sandwich or pita, or load up on a bowl or platter. Meats include spiced chicken, kofte, and gyro (as well as a steak sub), but there are plenty of vegetarian options as well. Seeking a lighter meal that would still leave me a little left over, I opted for a gyro pita with zaatar fries and added a side of tabouleh. Online ordering was easy, and Ghassan's prices are wallet friendly ($9 for the gyro and a side, $1 more for the tabouleh). Everything was ready and waiting on a pick-up shelf when I got there. For as efficient and convenient as Ghassan's is, the food is, on average, merely OK. The zaatar fries (crispy and nicely seasoned) are quite good, but the tabouleh didn't distinguish itself, and the gyro was bland. Unless you are brand-new to the Greensboro/Jamestown/High Point area and made Ghassan's your first stop, you've likely had better Mediterranean food elsewhere. All told, Ghassan's is a great place to grab a quick and healthy lunch, but if you have the time to sit down and enjoy your meal, there are stronger contenders. read more

Not far off I-74 is one of the Ghassan's locations which is a local business in Greensboro sharing Lebanese cuisine. This particular new location is fast-casual where you get a number for your table after ordering at the counter. The price is excellent for the amount of money you pay ($9 for pitas). Many of their options are platters and pitas which comes with 2 and 1 sides respectively. You have several side options, and Ghassan's does not skimp on the za'atar fry seasoning if you choose seasoned fries. They do have some Americanized subs like beef & cheese or pastrami. I had excellent service from 2 people who interacted with us, including several personalized visits to our table to ask about our meals. This location is in a strip mall by Publix, Chick-fil-A, Jersey Mike's, and more. read more

Really nice to see this restaurant open in this nice location. Very clean and modern atmosphere. Surrounded by other fast food but this food does not taste like fast food. Lines at Chick Filet, lucky for me, so I could get a much better lunch sooner! The shawarma pita was excellent with tons of flavor and not overkill on the spice or juices. Sometimes a pita sandwich can get a little wet and hard to eat. This one was perfect. My side was fried cauliflower and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't covered in a heavy batter and in my opinion was more sautéed than fried. Delicious and better than fries for you. Very healthy food and since I just got water it was under $10!! I will be back for sure. read more

Love this brand new and conveniently located Mediterranean restaurant near all the big new developments in Jamestown! Also, really happy that a local place took one of these spots, as so far, most of the shopping center has lured the big national chains. Ghassan's is nothing new in Greensboro, as they have been around since, well, as long as I can remember... and I am starting to get a little... seasoned. That said, it has never been my favorite, but also not my least favorite. Right in the middle of the road. One thing is for sure, they're a well oiled machine, and impressively, this new location is already operating efficiently! Love the smaller menu and reasonable prices, as well as options for those looking to be more healthy. We got in, ordered, and had fresh hot food in front of us in less than 10 minutes, so, awesome! The food was good. I ordered the kafta platter, and while I enjoy the spices more at some of their competition, I can say for certain these balls of beef and spices were cooked on the money, tender and juicy all the way thru. I went for Za'tar fries and side salad, and really liked the fries though I am anxious to try some of the other side options next time. I also like that it comes with warm pita and hummus. The pita was really nice slightly doughy texture, the hummus, nothing to stand out, but good. My companion ordered the garlic chicken sandwich, and even as a garlic lover said it was a little much for her! I also love garlic, and when I took a bite, loved the heavy garlic zing. But yes, you have to love garlic, haha. She got the pasta salad as a side, her only complaint, she'd have liked more of it. They carry Coke products and the tea was very good, a strong steep. The restaurant is open and spacious, probably room for about 50 to dine-in, and the patio provides even more seating on nice days. The area in general is brand new and attractive. We enjoyed this visit, not as much as our favorite place down the road in High Point, but we love the convenience of this spot so are sure to visit again! read more

I went during opening week. I totally get it. This is more 3.75 for me but considering the crowd and grand opening they managed the ordering process rather well. It was a downpour outside so the extra wait time was fine for me. I ordered Garlic Chicken sub. Fries on a sub are the best thing ever. Some may say it's filler but I say "killer". Those Lebanese pickles set it off just right. I could eat a jar of those. So crisp and briny. For me, I didn't get enough garlic flavor. There was sauce. I could have used a tad more but that garlic flavor wasn't as pronounced as I wanted it to be for my tastes. I'll still recommend this sub. What I am on the fence about is the fried cauliflower. I asked for a reco of the most popular side other than fries. I was not I the mode for one more "entree & fries" combo. (I need America to create a new side dish.) She suggested the fried cauliflower and stated it was flash fried and not greasy. Okay. I went for it. Ummmmm, maybe the grease wasn't hot? The cauliflower I got? Greasy. You'll see the erl slick in the picture. Yes, I am country. It's "erl" not "oil". Not sure I want to take my chances again. I can only image what the fries looked like. I will say decent flavor but way too much grease. I've eaten at Ghassan's back in the day. Love the food. I wasn't driving to that side of town for it. I know I'll be back to this one. By then maybe the new restaurant jitters & crowds will have dies down. read more

We were so excited to check out the new Ghassan's location opening in Grandover Village Shopping Center when we seen the signs on a recent Publix trip. Even more so when we seen the posts on Instagram inviting the community to a soft opening event. We lucked up and grabbed a spot when they released a few extras for Monday evening. The interior was bright and welcoming. Everything looked super clean. The service was friendly and the food came out fast. It was 13 minutes from the time we walked in the door until the food was delivered to the table and most of that was probably us trying to decide what to order. Everything sounded good so narrowing it down to the steak and cheese and harissa chicken bowl was tough but they were both solid options I would order again. The harissa chicken had great flavor and was quite filling. The bread for the steak and cheese was perfectly toasted and the steak and fries were both seasoned well. Everything was fresh and delicious. This is a great local addition to an area that has many chain fast food options. Their official opening day is tomorrow, April 4th, and I wish them lots of success. Thanks for inviting us out to check out all you have to offer! read more

Decided to stop in for something to eat after getting my nails down. My daughter had stated she'd had a great salad here. I walkin, 0 people in line. A couple of people at a couple of tables. I was taking my food to go. Ordered fries and a salad. Stood there waiting for over 30 minutes. Finally flagged down the women who had took my order. She acted like she didn't even remember taking my order. I was about to just say give me my money back. She said I'll go check on it. It was a few more minutes but then came out with my order. She asked if I wanted a complimentary drink(would have been nice during the 45 minutes I Stood there) I said no, took my food and left. The fries were ok, wasn't crazy about them. The salad was good, but not enough dressing for a large salad. It's not worth going back again. Nor will I be recommending to anyone. Next time I'll head over to Pladium to Mad Greek Grill when looking for a salad. read more

Excellent food! Great, fast service. Clean place. Got the Harissa Chicken Rice Bowl and hummus sampler with pita. Delicious!!!

The location is convenient and has ample parking. The interior is very modern and clean. I walked up to the counter to place my order and I really wasn't sure what I wanted. I said I needed a moment to browse. Not long but just a few seconds. She said ok, but walked off to take care of other stuff. So my few seconds turned into a couple of minutes of waiting for her to return. Don't get me wrong, she was polite and she brought my meal with a huge smile. I chose the chicken kabobs with rice and salad. It has an awesome presentation. I've been to other Mediterranean restaurants and this meal lacked the flavor. The chicken was dry. I didn't eat the second kabob. The salad was ok, the dressing didn't have much flavor. Tasted like just oil. The rice was mostly gummy and had a crunchy top layer. The pita was fine. The tahini sauce was bland. Overall, meh, but it was one of those occasions where it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. If my second visit is like my first, I most likely will pass on a third visit. read more

Glad to have Ghassan's Fresh Mediterranean Eat's in the Jamestown/Grandover area. Was able to be apart of their trial run, soft opening, and they are starting off on the right foot.

New Jamestown location over in the Grandover shopping center. Very clean bright and open. Walked right in and up to order, not a huge menu but it all looks great and I like that there are pictures. I ordered the chicken Shawarma pita with cucumbers and hummus and fried cauliflower as sides. By the time I made my Arnold Palmer drink and sat down the food was brought out to me. Large portion of pita and sides! Very tasty and glad to have them right around the corner as a quick Mediterranean meal! read more

When I lived in GSO and worked on Battleground, this place was a staple! Visiting my aunt and uncle in Grandover gave me the opportunity to stop into their newest location nearby. Still delicious. Still memorable still worth the trip. The location isn't much to look at but it's a good lunch spot but I wouldn't eat dinner there - do take out! As far as the food and the service, top-notch, delicious, friendly all the things you expect at Ghassans! read more

We've been eyeing this place ever since the sign went up and were eager to try it. We are big CAVA fans but then realized that it's not quite like that but still good mediterranean food! We came on the day of the grand opening and there were many people in there who were obviously of the same mindset and excited to try Ghassan's right away. We ordered the Chicken Shawarma Pita with fried cauliflower and the Steak and Cheese "The Classic" with Za'atar Fries. Really happy with the cauliflower, fries, and steak and cheese sub. The chicken shawarma pita was fine but just a little difficult to eat since the chicken is so chunky. Staff was very nice and they even deliver your food to you (would be great if the tray came with silverware and napkins too). Bathrooms smelled surprisingly good and were clean at least for now. Overall atmosphere is casual but a good amount of seating. Will definitely be back and eager to try some more of the menu! read more

Ghassan's is my new quick summer lunch on the run destination. Why am I now discovering this lol, they have definitely been around. The shawarma rice bowl is so refreshing to eat. I absolutely love the flavors of the radishes with the pickled Lebanese turnips. I need this sold in jars please. The roasted cauliflower and the white sauce are a delicious combo. I wish it was all vegetarian maybe add crispy tofu as an option. The rice and chicken balances it out nicely. The service is friendly and the establishment is super clean. This was the second time trying this and I'm hooked. read more

Not really impressed with the customer service, I work in food service and understand delays and that things happen but telling us the wait will be 15-20 minutes and then not getting our food for 40 minutes is a bit of a stretch. Not just that, they gave free drinks but there was no ice . The workers didn't really even seem too apologetic, one took food outside to go eat while there were many tables with people and no food. While the food was very enjoyable, the experience was not so i hope they can get this situation settled where no one else has to experience it. read more

They took forever. Almost over an hour. Helped everyone. And every black was offered something as compensation. We weren't.

Steak and cheese was outstanding. The restaurant was very clean. Service was excellent prices were reasonable.

Fantastic food that is very fresh and tasty. The staff and service is fantastic too. Location is in a great location and easy in and out.

Those rice bowls. Yes. The fried cauliflower is surprisingly delicious. I recommend adding falafel to them. And it's two meals.

Terrific! So glad to have a new place to eat. Very clean. Helpful employees. Loved my pita.

The cashier didn't look happy and I paid $12 bucks to clean my own table and seat.

Had a chicken gyro that literally had 3 small chunks of chicken and a cup of flavorless tzatziki sauce. Not a good first impression. No plans to go back. read more

Great food and friendly staff. If I wasn't just traveling through, I'd be here all the time!
