    Lamb gyro and Greek fries
    Becky M.

    Best gyro ever. And the Greek fries were awesome. Caught this food truck down at NC State campus. If you run across them you have to try them! Definitely get your moneys worth.

    Lamb gyro

    Got a gyro with fries for lunch. The gyro was tasty and loaded with juicy slices of lamb, topped with generous amounts of lettuce, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce. The fries were ordinary and definitely not necessary as the gyro was very filling. $8 for gyro with $2 more for fries. I find that the food truck prices in this area are steep so this seems to be on par with others. There were only 2 staff working in the truck and they were working very hard but unfortunately I waited 25 minutes for my food (which was most of my lunch break). For this reason I would give 3.5 stars but am rounding up because the gentleman taking my order was so friendly and even though I did not complain he thanked me for my patience when I received my order. Overall, I would recommend but only if you're not on a time schedule!

    Gyros are one of my most favorite foods and I am always on the search for a place that has a memorable gyro! Being from Pittsburgh, Mike and Tony's has always won my heart when it comes to a good gyro. Moving to NC, it has been tough finding a replica. Mama Voulas gyros are so, so tasty and may be my favorite next to my hometown M&T's. The ingredients are always fresh and you can definitely taste that. The tzatziki is so good and isn't overwhelming with garlic; and, the portions of the meat in the pita are reasonable, as well. My only complaint is the price is a little on the higher end. I guess that's the norm for food trucks, though!

    Give me one word to describe my pita sandwich: goopy. If I'm at a fair or something this will do over funnel cake or a fried Twinkie but there is enough good mediterranean food in the triangle and overall just better food trucks. I got a decent amount of food for $6 but I feel like it was less of a sandwich and more of a big ladleful of tzaziki. Also, please please please food trucks start using biodegradable to-go containers! Styrofoam isn't the only option and this food definitely isn't worth the guilt and impact of the container.

    We got some food there last night, and it was great. We really like their soft pita, and we loved the Greek fries

    Anytime they are nearby I go get myself a homemade gyro and the greek salad is a must have! You should also make sure to get the baklava!

    A little pricey, but fresh and delicious. I ordered the traditional gyro and would recommend it.

    Small and very clean, almost hole in the wall kind of place in an old shopping center in a…read moreresidential neighborhood. Arabic music playing. 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.

    We were here on a Thursday evening for a seminar event. They have 2 rooms in the back that are…read morevery well suited for small gatherings. Service was as to be expected for this type of event. I got ONE glass of ice tea and no offer of a refill. We had a small menu to order from. The Caesar salad was divine !! Well dressed and shaved parmigiana. I had the spaghetti with shrimp and feta. Shrimp was well cooked but the feta did not taste like feta. It had NO taste at all. Not sure what would cause this. It had a red sauce that was OK. Hubby had a sirloin steak that was drowning with gravy and mushrooms. Did not look appetizing at all. For dessert we had chocolate cake, served with a dollop of whip cream and a strawberry. The outside seating looked lovely. We may be back to try that out.

    Let me begin by saying, the appetizers here are amazing--well, at least, all of the vegan ones…read more(most of which I've gotten). There's a green hummus??? Wow. Perhaps my favorite out of everything we got all night. However, although they do have a nice variety of vegan appetizers, they only have one vegan entree, the Golden Quinoa. It isn't bad, but it pales in comparison to the appetizers we've had. Additionally, over the past two years (during which we've come to parizade about 3 times, because we had a massive giftcard to use up), the quality of the entree has gone down somewhat. When we went last night, I was disappointed to feel that it was altogether underseasoned. It's also disappointing to see that they have not attempted to introduce or switch our their vegan entree in 2 years. The service also varies. Last night, our server was fantastic, and obviously very experienced, but on past visits we have gotten less experienced servers who have made our dining experience more uncomfortable rather than less so. Perhaps most frustrating is that only one out of three of the servers appeared to understand what it meant that we were vegan. Both of the others, after being told that we were vegan, recommended dishes which were not vegan (which we had to awkwardly tell them), or suggested we add protein to the quinoa dish (which, again, I don't think they have a vegan tofu to add--or if they did, he didn't tell us). I'm willing to have some grace on a server that is learning, but I think it's frankly unacceptable for a fine dining establishment to have wait staff who don't know how to accommodate vegan customers (especially when they literally have their vegan options labeled on the menu!). Generally speaking, a hefty giftcard to a fine dining restaurant should feel like a gift, not a burden. Because of the limited vegan options, however, using up our giftcard felt like something of a chore (and we ended up resorting friends with us the last time so that we could blow most of it on a few bottles of wine). If you aren't vegan, I'm sure you would enjoy this place. If you are, I think that there are much better fine dining experiences in the area. Even so, I'm rating this 4 stars because the appetizers, the wine, and the cocktails were all truly 5 stars.
