    Stuffed Chicken Breast
    Keenan T.

    I am honored to come to Parizade for a meal with my good friend and neighbor. I was last here for a seminar. That was years ago. Things have changed. Parizade is an upscale place with a spacious interior. The main dining room has a view into the kitchen. Come here to celebrate an occasion. Come here for a date night or friends' night. Waitstaff are dressed to serve and are all great people. My neighbor and I each ordered a two-course meal. My neighbor had pretty much everything on their menu. He recommended the lamb ribs, shrimp, and octopus appetizers. I chose the octopus and was not disappointed. I had another order prepared to take home. Our main courses were delicious. My neighbor ordered their filet mignon special and I ordered their goat-cheese-and-spinach-stuffed chicken breast. Each dish is well-crafted. I selected two red wines by the glass from their wine list. They have premium wines by the bottle. The prices tell me I'd rather buy it but not open it. I'll take the bottle home and open it at home. I'll gladly return for another meal here.

    The best ribeye in Durham.

    I feel like a fool for sleeping on Parizade, so learn from my mistake and go if you've not tried them. We visited last week for a birthday and from the moment we got to the table, it was lovely experience. They had a happy birthday sign, and a free dessert was given. But the apps and dinner? And the wine? Those were the culinary stars of the show. We absolutely loved everything- the ribeye is not to be missed, and I highly recommend the braised beef ribs. We had some wonderful olives and spicy red pepper hummus to start, but watch out that you don't fill up. Last but absolutely not least, the service was perfect- attentive but not too much so, knowledgeable, friendly. It didn't feel like our first visit at all, as a result. The interior is gorgeous and colorful and felt really intentionally and skillfully designed, too. We'll definitely be back.

    Girl's night out was a big success due to the friendly and knowledgeable staff and the delicious food at Parizade. When we walked into Parizade, we were immediately captivated with the beautiful design and ambiance of the restaurant. It felt like we were transported to a whimsical other world. The beautiful murals and soft amber lighting gave the restaurant a warm, inviting, yet upscale feel. Everything we ate (pictured below) was fantastic and well priced. Plus, they have great spaces for large group dining. My friends and I will definitely be back!

    This was the highlight of triangle restaurant week for us! The menu was awesome, portions were large, and every item was delicious. The wine menu is also extensive, and the servers are very knowledgeable about their menu. Everyone should try this place, I go the short rib and it may be my favorite short rib ever.

    Lovely Mediterranean steakhouse. Came as a large party of 35 and were sat in a separated dining area with a separate bar. Inside is dimly lit and there's an open kitchen style as you walk through the restaurant. Tried many different appetizers but loved the fresh sourdough with oil to start, the Caesar, and the pita bread with dips. I went with a 14 ounce ribeye, cooked medium rare and came out pretty close. Meat was good quality and the mushrooms and potatoes were also solid. Service was great, would highly recommend this spot.

    Parizade was phenomenal! Christopher, our waiter, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant. If I could give more than five stars, I would. There was a storm that night that knocked out the computers, but the staff and kitchen recovered beautifully. Igor, the manager, was a constant presence--checking on us frequently. Between him and Christopher, they ensured we finished in plenty of time to make it to Les Misérables. They literally made us feel like family. As for the food--absolutely exquisite. We ordered from the Summer Prix-Fixe menu and couldn't imagine a better meal: Course 1: Phyllo Shrimp Course 2: Grilled Salmon Course 3: Banana Rum Napoleon (one of the most divine desserts I've ever had)

    What a great dining experience. The service has been exceptional both visits. The menu seems to have something for everyone and the decor and vibe is both lively and classy. Don't be over committed to any menu items you may see with a yelp menu, as they change it up regularly and have solid specials. I'm ready to go back already.

    A more upscale option for drinks and/or dinner. We love coming here before Duke basketball games! It's a little more pricey but the service/vibes/food are worth it. & I'm obsessed with their espresso martini!

    The food was so AMAZING!! The service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

    "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.

The menu is also a sight to behold and there is something for every taste and diet (GF, Vegan/veg all noted on the menu). There's so many enticing vegan options! I ordered the hummus which was very good and a phenomenal fattoush salad made next level with those pickled grapes-- unlike any fattoush salad I'd ever had before. I appreciated the wine and cocktail lists, although I was not ready to imbibe at that time of day. Some great offerings there. And I also want to give kudos to our excellent waitress and the entire staff that thanked us and said goodbye when we left. It was just the perfect touch of hospitality.

    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!

The Greek mimosa was excellent, the flavors aren't anything like a regular mimosa it is a whole new experience, if you like a red or rose wine try it! The bloody mark has a bit of a bite but it too has a great flavor I would not order if you don't like spicy or can't have salt. The avgolemano was delicious just the right amount of lemon too simple and elegant just lemon egg chicken rice and broth with light seasoning. The Pasticho was excellent! They even bought the right noodles ! About as close to my yaiyas as a restaurant can get! The mousaka was also delicious. Many times you get it the eggplant is either greasy or hard.

I went with a group of 6 adults this past week and realized that the atmosphere no longer outweighs the other nits for us. The restaurant was maybe 80% full, but our servers couldn't find the time to check on us. We had a bottle of wine served, and maybe 15 minutes later needed more wine. We finally got our server's attention and we got more wine. Once our entrees came out, our server and wine guy never came back to our table. We even told them we would like more wine but they never came back with it. We would've bought 4-5 bottles of wine that evening had someone come back to check on us. Instead, we just sipped our waters until we were ready to leave. The food was honestly mediocre all around. The lamb was overcooked and inedible, the eggplant dish was over salted, etc. We liked our dips platter, but it came with a tiny bowl of pita and like three pieces of celery for $24, so most of the dips went uneaten. If someone had asked if we needed more pita or vegetables we would have said yes, even if we had to pay for it. But nobody did. I could go into more details (mansplaining and some belittling all around), but it's not really important. We realized there are restaurants in Chapel Hill that we'd rather visit in the future. I hope Kipo's is able to make some changes because we really love it. But in the meantime we're going to give it a break.
