Oh My -- Ate at my First Aladdin's Eatery twenty some years ago when a shop opened up in Dublin,…read moreOH. I was kinda annoyed because it had replaced a Dairy Queen I liked. But what first appeared as a Lebanese "health food, vegan, vegetarian" restaurant even though they had some meat dishes -- turned into one of the favorite restaurants of my life! Their hummus, pitas (light and fluffy but not overy thick), hot sauce, shawarma, salads, kibi, lamb plate, soups (V9 rules) all became things I craved for the next twenty years. And the desserts! I think they made up for all the "healthy" stuff by having freshly made cakes to indulge after a good meal. Thank goodness they had franchises in Cleveland (where I visit my mother) -- when I had moved away from one I could get my fix there. But while in Columbus area, Dublin restaurant closed and I went to the one in Grandview quite a bit. I have been back in North Carolina for 12 years now. On a day trip to Raleigh, I stopped by the store at Brier Creek (8201 Brier Creek Pkwy #107) OH MY! It has been a while (I think I need to go visit my mother! ) Had my lunch staple. shawarma salad with Aladdin's dressing (they used to have a zesty tomato back in the day that was really good) a small hummus and HOT SAUCE! I am so glad the south is staring to get the grand taste of Aladdin's Eatery! Like I told the owner -- From the first day I tasted any meal to yesterday, the meals and food are consistent -- if you go back in time, they would be prepared and taste the same -- like Heaven, mother's milk! Now Lebanese, middle eastern may not be for everyone but if you want a good healthy salad or some great soup, I am sure you can find something here.. but you will miss out on the spices and flavors! I think the main thing about Aladdin's besides stellar food and consistency is the people! I have not met an owner, server, host that was not friendly, courteous, gracious and human! These folks are great! And just like the food has been so since day one! I wish all restaurants and business could be like Aladdin's, the world would be a better place -- after my meal yesterday, I am refueled and ready to go in body and spirit! Thanks for the lifetime of great meals, see you soon!

Good food, great service, but one thing stood out: I was recommended a wine over the one I chose…read more It was offered as "more authentic to match the food, same price." It wasn't good - I didn't appreciate being pushed old inventory that had started moving toward the "vinegar" stage.

Bottom line: Really enjoyable first visit to Morning Ritual. This coffee shop/cafe served up a…read moretasty latte and Egg + Cheese Scramble to start my day off right. Helpful service in a nicely decorated small cafe, a nice stop for getting a morning going. The Deets: Deciding to venture out a bit to try some place new, I found Morning Ritual on the trusty Yelp app and headed off to there. It is joined along side The Goat restaurant on the edge of an apartment complex campus near Brier Creek. I like the look of the building and while noticing there is outside seating available, there is a convenient take out window on the side as well. I went inside and liked the warm, inviting but still slightly modern look of the cafe style seating and ordering area. There are a couple of seats within range of a power outlet and there is WiFi but note it is public/no password/unsecured access, it appears. Their menu shows a good array of beverages and eats to satisfy those morning needs. I decided on a 16 oz hot skim latte to drink to enjoy there and then ordered the Egg + Cheese Scramble which has Monterey Jack and Cheddar and served with one of their biscuits. You order and pay at the register/counter then they give you a table number to take to your seat. My beverage came in well enough time to enjoy while I waited on my food order. My latte was so good that I had no need for additions such as sweetener or syrups and I like the mug with it to enjoy in house. Food came in good time as well, looking pretty tempting. The toasted biscuit was good and I liked it but a tad small bit sweet for a Southern type biscuit (the type that I'm used to/grown up with enjoying). The scramble was really great...I usually do not favor getting cheese in my scrambled eggs but everything was delicious here and perfect texture as well as portion on the eggs themselves in a small cafe setting. There's always that challenge in a new coffee shop/cafe in figuring out their used dishes protocol/station but loved that my server saw me searching and happily took my dishes at the counter for me. I enjoyed this first visit to Morning Ritual and can see me visiting in the future, I like it.

The coffee was actually delicious. The service not so much!…read more To be fair I ordered my coffee with my breakfast at The Goat (the restaurant that Morning Ritual shares the building with) but the coffee is listed on The Goat's menu, so they need to get in sync. Our breakfast ended up coming out before coffee, which made no sense. I had to ask about the coffees before they were actually made. When the girl came from morning ritual She brought out my husbands, hot cappuccino but my mocha out iced and I immediately said I don't drink cold coffee and I did an order iced. Instead of being apologetic, and stating that she would change it, she just snatched the iced coffee and walked away. That was such a strange encounter. It was rude and I got no apology, nor did I get any explanation of what would happen next. I let my server know to ensure I was still going to get a coffee because I can't live without my coffee in the morning! When my Moca loved her honey, oat milk, coffee came I took a sip and was glad i didn't flip out and say "forget the coffee" (as I was already done with breakfast by the time in arrived) because the drink was delicious! If I'm ever back in the area (I was staying in Raleigh but decided to take a little detour into Durham that morning) I'll come to only Morning Ritual to see if I can change this 3 star review for service issues into a 5. For now they need to work on getting coffee service to The Goat streamlined!

You wouldn't expect a bubble tea place near BJ's to be this good, but TeaQ is!! We came here one…read moreday after shopping at BJ's and were happily surprised at the service and the drink selection. As a tea shop, it's very small inside but is well decorated. Every drink I ordered at TeaQ is superb, and we regularly stop by for fun drinks. One day, we showed up right as the shop was closing and we parked outside trying to find another tea shop to go. Someone from inside came to knock on our windows to tell us that we can still order and she'd make them for us. That was such a kind gesture that I still remember to this day! If you are in this area, check out TeaQ. You might be surprised at how much you like it!

That said, there was a pretty strong smell coming from the nail salon next door that carried into the shop and made it hard to fully enjoy our drinks. I ordered the mango green tea with boba at 50% sweetness, and it was still way too sweet for my taste. One of my friends ordered her drink at 25% sweetness and felt the same way, so even with reduced sugar, the drinks were pretty overpowering. Service was quick and friendly, which was a plus. Overall, the drinks didn't really do it for me, and If I'm in the mood for boba, I'd probably check out another spot in the Triangle next time.

Pretty ok lunch, just average…read more We ordered the pair two lunch - the Japanese noodles with grilled chicken and the lemon Parmesan broccoli. The broccoli was very good. The grilled chicken was not very good, no seasoning and just meh. The kids Mac and cheese was good. Our order was ready when promised, the pick up area was a little confusing - there was a sign but our food was closer to the employee area so I waited for someone to give it to me.

The manager of the store is FANTASTIC and is always willing to hear feedback and looking at how she can make the store better. Staff are friendly and personable and work hard to get orders out as quickly as possible while also making you feel welcomed. I wish that there were more low seats with outlets (only 3 + the couch/lounge area and a high top), but that's okay! The back section of the restaurant also tends to be slightly different in temp than the rest, usually colder, so I tend to bring a jacket with me if I'm going to work from there - even (especially) in the summer. None of these things are by any means the wonderful staffs fault - just something quirky and of note! Thanks for all your hard work!
