Staff greets you with a smile and kindly takes your order. The food was excellent and the portion was generous. You can see and hear the team cooking fresh Greek favorites. I loved every bite and will be back again. read more

My wife and I had dinner for the first time at the Mediterranean Grill and were very pleased. The restaurant was clean and bright, nicely decorated, and comfortable. The staff were most friendly, efficient, and helpful. The prices were quite reasonable as well. I ordered the Gyros platter (lamb/beef, hummus, pita, tzatziki sauce, Greek salad), and my wife had the beef loin kabobs (sides of tabouli, grape leaves). The portions were very ample and the food was great--the ingredients were fresh and high quality. The hummus and tzatziki sauce were among the best I have had. The lamb/beef gyro meat was very tasty, and the beef loin kabobs were outstanding--they also removed the skewers before serving. We enjoyed our meal so much that we will be certain to visit this restaurant as often as possible. If you enjoy Greek cuisine the Mediterranean Grill is a must if you are in Durham. read more

Best friend and I go here often for the steak kabob's. She loves the green sauce and she also orders the curry chicken a lot too. Personally I love the grape leaves and fava beans! The baklava and other "cookie" selection is wonderful too! The service good, average. The ambience is blah but I'm here for the great food anyway! read more

Food was quick and delicious. Staff was professional. Nothing overall special about the decor or the vibe but if you're just concerned about quick and tasty at a decent, this is your place. read more

Got catered dinner from here for a class & it was quite tasty. I chose the option with chicken (very tender & could taste the char; the sautéed red onions were delicious), rice (perfectly cooked), and pasta salad (it was alright). The pita was classic. It came with a vinaigrette that I found too tangy; I wish it came with hummus. Overall, a great, healthy-feeling option. Cannot comment on service or ambiance. 7/10 would recommend! read more

Mediterra Grill - Durham - Chicken, Rice, Pita, Pasta Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I have been on the hunt for a good Greek salad and this one is pretty good although it was missing pepperochinis which for me is a staple in my Greek salad. Overall the food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I sat outside and they brought it out to me. The gyro was so big I couldn't finish but the taziki was spot on. Great place for lunch or if you are craving Mediterranean food like I was. read more

Delivery was decently fast for a huge order I made. All the portions were amazing and the value is definitely there, just was a little confused with $60 sultan kabab dinner I'm not sure if it was all included because it didn't seem like much. But everything else was amazing and the platters were good. Only gripe was the steak was quite chewy and the kafta was okay. Get the lamb and falafel for sure read more

Great lunch at Mediterranean Grill in Durham NC. The beef and lamb gyro, a delicious mediterranean side salad; I had the meat salad and my wife had the tomato, cucumber, onion, and pepper salad. Our side salads and gyros were fantastic. They also included fountain beverage. It's was $12.50 each, for a really healthy delicious bargain lunch. We will definitely return on our future travels to Durham, North Carolina . read more

Visited again and tried the gyro plates this time. The portion sizes were generous, and the rice was flavorful! I had the falafel gyro platter with kale salad, and it was delicious. Given the portion size, it was a great deal for the price. The only downside was the wait--despite the restaurant not being too busy, it took a while for our food to be ready. read more

We ordered the lunch special. Philly steak and cheese with French fries and a large drink. Philly steak with Greek salad and large drink. Both were excellent! Lots of tender beef wonderful bread and more than I could finish. Excellent salad. The French fries were freshly made and nicely seasoned. Even handled the no onions on one sub well. Service could not have been better. This was 2:30 on a week day afternoon and this was a great deal. We will be returning the next time we are in the area. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend the chicken kabob platter. Large portions and great service.

Staff was so rude! There was no one behind us in line and the lady at the register was rushing us and trying to just assume what we wanted. I asked her what the difference was in the salad sizes and she rolled her eyes and, very condescendingly and with exaggerated effort, lifted up a bowl and a plate. I ordered the greek salad (too much dressing) and the hummus (terrible taste) which came with pita bread (good). She put that in and then my mom was ordering. My mom said she'd have the same thing and the cashier just stared at her and didn't put anything in. So my mom repeated the order that I just said. Jeez. They also had the news (15% news, 85% commercials) blasting on a TV in the corner. Yikes. Also it's really run down and not very clean in there. read more

Mediterra Grill - Durham - Greek salad and side of hummus (come with pita bread) - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

While it's getting harder to find a good and cheap place to eat on the go, this place does a solid job for the money. I've had the gyro sandwich, really good, fair price but won't fill me up without a side. The falafel is really good, and the chicken skewer is delish. My goto is usually the chicken skewer platter with fattoush and hummus. Comes with warm pita. If you need a Mediterranean fix, and you're in the area, this certainly does the job. read more

The food came out pretty quick and I really enjoyed the beet salad. The chicken was pretty good and tender as well. However, for the price I think the portions could be a bit bigger. read more

Mediterra Grill - Durham - Chicken Kabob Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

First time here. Husband and I both ordered the 3 veggie platter-- lots of choices to pick from! I selected beet salad, fava beans and kale salad. Husband enjoyed falafel, fava beans and tatziki. Both platters came with pita. Kale salad was light, fava bean tomatoey and flavorful. Beet salad was my favorite. We also ordered sodas -- always appreciate a fountain drink machine that works well. Service was friendly and there was tons of eating space. We chose to eat outside because it was a beautiful day. Overall a nice place to grab lunch. read more

Mediterra Grill - Durham - Pick 3 with Fava Beans, Beet Salad and Kale Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Quick, yummy, and cheap This place is a fantastic lunch spot when you want some quick Mediterranean fare. They have really good platters and wraps. Of note, they have a great lunch special - any wrap/sandwich + side + drink for 10.50. We got the chicken platter with hummus and salad. The hummus was fresh and delicious with a very generous portion. Perfect in combination with the toasted pita they give you. Chicken was on the drier side, but not bad. Salad was fresh. I also got a lamb shawarma wrap with fries. The wrap was absolutely delicious - meat was juicy with a healthy amount of white sauce on top. Fries were nothing special but doesn't matter because wrap was fiyah. read more

Mediterra Grill - Durham - chicken platter w/ hummus and salad. Lamb shawarma w/ fries. - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

We stumbled upon this digs in the Duke university and ventured in now my wife always rewrites the menu but the accommodated her with a smile as we seated ourselves people continued to file in place orders and wait patiently. The ambiance was very authentic as you can get in the medicine city Mediterranean sounds filled the air the scraping of the grill the smell of lamb chicken filled the air. We surveyed the menu I order the gyro platter with macaroni salad then the wife order the kabob platter with mixed meats of chicken and lamb we must say the taziki sauce was flavored with dill and cucumber which was different yet delicious the lamb was a little over cooked but the seasoning on both was delicious Overall is was a nice Mediterranean departure from the norm try it you might like it the locals do! read more

Everything my wife and I have ever tried there has been exceptional. Sometimes you just have to splurge! :-) By the way, you better buy some baklava while you're there. Best I've had. read more

Great place to get Halal Mediterranean food! The plaza this is located in has quite a few other affordable options and this being a staple that has existed for at least over a decade. The seating is nice and clean. The prices are great and I can here twice in a weekend! Their chicken shawarma wrap is great, as are the fries. The best part is that there are fries inside the wrap too. After trying quite a few things I wish some of the rice platter portions had more meat and more flavor on the meat. read more

I ordered the gyro platter it was fantastic. check it out, it's really good this was my second time there I will definitely come back

I ordered delivery from here 4 stars more for the fast delivery service. I ordered the chicken kabob wrap and it had fries and pickles and yogurt sauce. It could have had more sauce and definitely more pickles. The flavor was really good and the pita bread was so fresh it really was good! Definitely will order from here again. read more

Mediterra Grill - Durham - Chicken Kabob Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Service was absolutely horrible. I've heard mixed reviews about this place through word of mouth but thought I'd give it a try. They gave me the wrong order then had serious attitude problems and were very passive aggressive when I said something about it. I would have eaten the other order, but before I could try it, they snatched the food out of my hand and threw together another box before asking if I was "happy now?". read more

Had lunch for the first time here the other week. I had the falafel wrap, but thought the falafel was a little dry. I also had a side of fattoush which was good. Both were very large portions, for a good price. I plan to return and try some different items. Our food came out very fast...so it seems to be an easy place to go during a lunch break. The parking lot is busy in this area at lunchtime, but you can always find a spot. read more

The food is always great along with friendly customer service. We stop by whenever we come to Duke.

Great customer service and the food was delicious!! I would recommend the restaurant. Thanks

Service was excellent and the staff were friendly. Food on the other hand wasn't very tasteful, I got all the Kabobs and were kind if bland.

Their Chicken Kebab is the best! Add some fattoush and pasta salad.. Try the baklavas too.. We will definitely come back.. Service is fast and the place is cozy. read more

Went here for lunch and definitely not disappointed! I had the lamb gyro with Spanakopita on the side, my son got chicken gyro with falafel on the side and my husband had a lamb wrap. The sandwiches were awesome, fresh and tasty! The sides were also very good. We got some baklava for dessert and they were fresh and delicious! The staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a clean fast food type place with tables inside and out. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing gyros lamb platter. Very authentic flavor. The humus was rich and creamy. Get the lamb, it was professionally prepared in small triangles which fit nicely on the triangle pita bread pieces. This is truest the way to eat a large gyros rather than the large pita which breaks apart and is quite messy. this is a tremendous treat for an authentic Mediterranean dish. read more

I dined here with a friend after work one day and really enjoyed it! More so than I was expecting since I'm usually a bit iffy when it comes to Mediterranean food that isn't from Med deli in Chapel Hill. I ordered the Chicken Curry Rice Plate and it was more than enough for me to pig out and take the rest home for leftovers the next night. That's my kind of portion! The curry flavor was developed well and the chicken wasn't overcooked which was great. The sides I ordered were falafel and baba ghannouj dip which worked out very well with the pita points that came with the meal. The falafel was good but I wish the baba ghannouj dip flavors were developed a bit more since it didn't really stand out to me compared to everything else. It kind of tasted bland with the pita points, which hasn't been my experience at other places. The restaurant has a causal setting where you order and pay at the counter, take a number and they'll bring it out to you. This places reminds me of Saladelia cafe (on University Drive) in terms of how it's laid out and with the different options of sides available, which I think is a plus. The staff was very friendly despite the fact that I took at least five minutes just to figure out what I wanted to order... yeah, I can be difficult sometimes but they were really nice about it! Overall, if I want Mediterranean food after work, I'm coming to Mediterra. If you're in the area and looking for easy and no-hassle Mediterranean food, hurry on over! read more

Mediterra Grill - Durham - Delicious chicken kabob and chicken curry rice platter! - Mediterranean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I've driven by Mediterra countless times during Chipotle/Smashburger/TGI Fridays runs, but I finally decided to check it out because my friend was craving gyros and this was the closest option. The food here is all relatively priced, and super quick. We went around 1pm and there was no line, and plenty of seating to my pleasant surprise. I ordered a chicken curry platter ($9.99) which came with basmati rice, 2 sides and pita bread; for my sides I chose baba ghannouj dip (I feel like it's similar to hummus but has roasted eggplant chunks) and the falafel. I LOVED the baba ghannouj dip, which had complex flavors and went very well with the 5-6 slices of pita bread on my platter. My friend ordered a gyro platter (gyro wrap with side and a drink) for $8.75. She usually goes to the NC State fair just for one particular gyro stand, and was thrilled that the gyro meat at Mediterra was just as good! We both ended up bringing take out boxes of our leftovers home because the portions were huge. I like that Mediterra has a huge variety of sides you can pick out (including French fries) and you can preview them in the glass display before you order. I'd love to come back to try their baklava or bird nest dessert! read more

"Great, cheap Middle-Eastern food right off Duke's campus" I've gone there several times for lunch but just went tonight for dinner for the first time, and it was great. The server was very helpful and accommodating, even letting us swap some options that were probably not formally allowed (and without adding any extra charge). I had a platter of a lamb skewer (with a cucumber yogurt sauce) over rice, along with my choice of one side (I got baba ghannouj), and some pita. The meat was a tiny bit fatty but tender nonetheless and quite tasty. Overall delicious, and cost roughly $7 only. My daughter LOVED the baba ghannouj she got, declaring it the best she'd ever eaten. My wife got a vegetarian platter with some grilled veggies, spanakopita, and baba ghannouj- I tasted them, and again, very good and clearly home-made. Another good sign- many of the other patrons in the restaurant with us spoke Arabic. Good sign the food is authentic and appreciated by others who know it. In a past visit, I had some of the "bamya"- an okra dish in tomato sauce- absolutely stellar, though very garlicky, so beware your next appointment! Overall, very good place- I could even go to 5 stars on it. read more

This has to be the blandest chicken pita I've ever had; straggly amounts of lettuce, tomatoes and onions. There was no love put into this.

I work nearby and sometime stop in for lunch. Service is always quick and food is always fresh. I am a big fan of their hummus - incredibly smooth and creamy with just the right amount of oil on top. Served with grilled, warm pita it's sometimes all I get for lunch. The chicken kabob wrap and chicken schwarima wrap are also frequent orders. Of note, they put French fries (listed as "potato strips" on the wraps. read more

This was not our first order from them. We've ordered a number of times through delivery services and it's been a good experience. The last two orders? Not so much. They have left out items both times. This time, I called the restaurant to try and get a resolution and not only did the woman I spoke with seem a bit unconcerned, but she asked me to contact the driver to try to get them to go back. Now, this isn't the driver's fault. They screwed up the order and then didn't try to own up to it. Now we're missing good AND they didn't even call me back. They're not getting a third opportunity. read more
