I absolutely love eating the fresh salads and sides at Sassool! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get pretty busy during lunchtime, so plan ahead if you're in a rush--but that just shows how good the food is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually order the two chicken skewer kabobs with rice, a super salad, and the jalapeño cilantro hummus. The hummus is *so* good that I often grab a small container to take with me when I travel. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients, especially with olive oil as a base. They offer both fresh pita and gluten-free pita, which is great for anyone with dietary restrictions. Honestly, I could make a meal just out of all the sides--they're that good. The menu is consistently solid, and I feel like you really can't go wrong with anything you order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a perfect spot for a low-key lunch or dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also worth noting: on Tuesdays, kids eat free with a paying adult, which is a great bonus for families. Highly recommend! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is nice and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is an order and pay restaurant where you place your order at the counter, receive your food, and can sit anywhere you'd like. The portions are very generous, so if you can't finish your meal, it's easy to take the leftovers home. They conveniently provide to-go containers and bags for customers. One thing I found a bit challenging was the ordering process. There is a huge selection of food, which can be overwhelming for first-time visitors. I would have appreciated a little more guidance from the staff when making my choices, as I think it would have helped me order more confidently. Overall, it's a good place with plenty of options and great portion sizes. read more

Sasool is one of my go-to spots when I want fresh, satisfying Greek and Mediterranean food. The variety of options is one of the best parts--you can build a plate exactly how you like it, and there's always something that fits what you're in the mood for, whether that's lighter and veggie-forward or something more hearty. Everything tastes consistently fresh, from the salads and sides to the proteins and sauces. The flavors are bright, clean, and well-balanced, and the portions are generous without feeling heavy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and it's an easy place to relax and enjoy a good meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's clear that care goes into both the food and the experience. I've been here multiple times and it's been consistently good every visit. Definitely recommend if you're looking for fresh, flavorful Greek/Mediterranean food with lots of choices. read more

Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying! I ordered the chicken kebab with a side of chickpea salad and stuffed grape leaves, and everything tasted fresh and light. To top it all off, I treated myself to the pistachio baklava...chef's kiss! A delicious Mediterranean meal from start to finish. Staff were friendly and amazing ! I'll definitely be back! read more

I am VERY late to Sassool but very happy I discovered it anyways. The combinations here are endless and the prices are extremely good for the amount of food you get. Everything is healthy, fresh, and delicious and I'm sure anybody would enjoy at least one item from here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is big with a lot of seating and the food comes out quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's so many combinations of sides, meats, and pitas/shawarmas. There is also a mini shop where you can buy international foods, snacks, and drinks. The plates here are always super filling and satisfying. I usually get a sides plate and a kabab dish which comes with 2 more sides plus rice and a garlic dip. Some of my favorite dishes/sides so far have been the beef/chicken kebab, vegetable lasagna, fava bean salad, black bean salad, chicken salad, mjadarah, and batatta harra (potatoes in whipped garlic). ALL of those have been 10/10 and I could probably eat a plate from here every day. I can't wait to come back to try the shawarma and shawarma pizzas! read more

Sassool - Mediterranean Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Sassool is easily one of my favorite healthier restaurants, and it's a place we visit at least twice a month without hesitation. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling heavy (essentially nothing is fried). My absolute favorite item is the Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus! The cilantro really cuts through and hides the strong tahini flavor, giving it a bright, fresh kick that keeps me coming back every time. One of the best parts of Sassool is the variety. With what feels like 20 different sides to choose from, it's genuinely fun to go in and mix things up. You can eat here often and still have a completely different plate each visit. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, especially considering how good and filling the food is. It's one of those rare spots that manages to be healthy, flavorful, and affordable all at once. We love coming here and will absolutely continue to do so. Reliable, delicious, and versatile. Sassool never misses! read more

We went to dinner with a friend. As always the line to eat was long and moved easily. The choices always great. The mix of cucumber and pineapple salad was refreshing and great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere of families makes Sassool a great choice for a meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I used to really enjoy Sassool and have been a loyal customer, but my last few orders have been very disappointing. My last order through Uber Eats I had to throw it away. Food safety should never be compromised. Serving undercooked ground meat is unacceptable and could make someone seriously ill. I hope this issue is addressed before it happens to someone else. read more

Sassool - Kafta Kebab Sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This place always amazes and how tasty, fresh and healthy the whole menu feels. We ordered 3 Kabobs Pita and Falafel Pita which are reasonably priced and freshly made. Their Jalapeno and Cilantro Hummus and Majadra are absolute favourites and freshly made pita right out of oven are so nicely soft and yummy.. I often buy other items like Olives, dates and lentils which are really good priced .. [[HIGHLIGHT]]place feels like a living room where u can have good conversations, nice and service is fast[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] ... read more

We've come here quite a few times and I think their food has been consistent if not better! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's deli style ordering, where you stand in line look at the options visually (sides, some pre cooked entrees desserts and beverages) order pay at the end of the line where they give you a number and then seat yourself there is indoor seating as well as some outdoor patio seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After which the food is delivered to you shortly ! There's also a market on the side with a refrigerated section and couple aisles of items. I feel super overwhelmed with the number of options, but through multiple visits we've been able to try different options. One thing I really like is the crispy, hot and light pita bread that's served with the orders! Some of the things we've tried and loved has been the pizettes - shawarma & mushroom onion; different skewers -chicken/ beef kefta kabobs; falafels, sides- makloube, quinoa salad, couscous, baba ganoush, quinoa tabouli, mjadarah, and so on! A great place to hit all the macros needed for a balanced meal. read more

I live within walking distance of Sasool and visit an embarrassing number of times each week. All the food is always fresh and delicious. The employees are very attentive and efficient. On Fridays and Saturdays they have a salmon entree that I get for my Mom every week. The salmon comes with curried rice but I get the Lebanese rice instead. The Lebanese green beans are in a stewed tomato sauce and nice and tangy. They have spanikopita on Fridays and sometimes Saturdays. I usually get 3 or 4 pieces to go and heat it up in aluminum foil in the air fryer throughout the week. You can also get spanikopita as an entree with two sides on Fridays. Some other favorites are Autumn Root Salad with beets, carrots and walnuts and Fatoush when it's really fresh and crisp. Their pitas are delicious and they're very generous with them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can see them baking the pitas in back of where the cashiers are.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, look for the TV playing videos showing how the pitas are made. It's to the left of where the line forms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pro Tip: Get there before 6:30 PM if you don't want to wait in a long line. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The line goes fast but it can get really warm from the ovens when you're standing close to the cash registers waiting to check out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Line out the door when I went and the staff worked hard to get the food out quickly. The food is always excellent and the service is always top notch. I highly recommend this place. The steak kabobs are amazing and all the side options are the best. I love their hummus and sauces as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is nice and you order from the cashier then get delivered your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Sassool has catered two events I have attended in the Triangle and the food was incredible. I took my family an hour and a half from Greensboro to the Cary, NC location and oh my goodness it was worth it! Even driving through scary thunderstorms. Sassool is Lebanese Mediterranean. I've only had green Mediterranean prior to now and Lebanese is next level! The cilantro hummus is everything!!!! And it came with four fresh pitas! The grape leaves were so good and the chicken kabob was so good. I got the walnut baklava which was good. The prices are so reasonable! Also there is a Lebanese market with all sorts of amazing options. We had an incredible experience and will absolutely be back the next time we are in Cary or maybe even take another special trip there! read more

Two of us came here for an early dinner , 5:15, and I sure am glad we came early. Even during the week, this place is packed for dinner. We were greeted and our orders taken quickly. The tables were clean and we had no problem finding a place to sit. I tried two new salads, and I loved both. The carrot and beet salad and the super salad. I will get both of them again. Tea is always good and fresh and I enjoy the fresh free pita as well. Still my favorite middle eastern place in Cary. I would eat here every day if I could! read more

This place is awesome!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]You think is going to be a small little strip mall kind of place but when you walk in, it's actually huge![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a lot of space to dine in in several separate areas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It gives Mediterranean vibes in side(which is firing for a Mediterranean place,lol).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's green and go type items like a little shop and then there's an ordering area where you let them know of you'd like anything from the grill and then there's about 20 or more sides to choose from...alllll delish and freshly made. The sides range from about $4 and up for an 8oz and then go up from there. They have daily specials and kids meal options. I tend to have to do a lot of catering type meetings with clients and this has been my go-to the last few times. They have options for all Diatary needs. I plan on using them for most meetings from now on. They're easy to work with, do things quickly, and are very friendly! read more

We came here needing some healthy food and we love Mediterranean cuisine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Venue: hmm. It is moderate size but it can get very busy with long lines especially during busy hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good: tried the combo plate including various salad, Salmon, various meat kebab plate and cheese pizzette. I have to say, the pizzette was the best, thin crust - gooey cheese and thought it was very nice. While other plates were mediocre - I thought the kabob were too heavy with cumin. Some salads were too heavy on citrus. Had tried various Mediterranean places in the triangle, I'd have to say.. no place can top Mediterranean Deli in chapel hill. But seems like it is loved by many here. Price: reasonable. read more

So glad I found this place-food was fresh and delicious and many healthy options to choose from. Will be going back soon!

This place continues to reach five star marks every time I go. Sometimes they're really busy and that makes the service a little slow, but it's never a problem for me and I understand. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is always super cute, like a little taste of the Mediterranean area[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but the food is always incredible and I love it so much. It's consistent, it's flavorful, and super nutritious! I crave going here, I think's location is great and Central and will continue to go here and I look forward to eating there again! read more

Sassool is a family favorite and they have the best fresh salads and healthy options in a cafeteria type setting. You can order in person and get a number or order online. They have different daily specials and the salmon is very popular on the weekend. We get the platter with chicken kabobs and add two sides. It is always hard to pick just two. They also have a little market with spices, rice, beans etc. they make the pita fresh in the oven and you can see it as you walk in. The staff is always friendly . I would also check out their Instagram page because they do dinners at their Fig Mint Farm and also provide catering. read more

I started coming here almost ten years ago, and it's still one of my Triangle favorites. Service is still friendly and efficient, the selections are amazing, and the food is very good. I especially like their house-made pita. The location is good, although parking can be a bit dicey at times. The lines can be very long for lunch, so make sure you have enough time. It will be worth it! read more

Went to sassool with a friend for a casual dinner on a weeknight. I got the choose 4 platter with Batara harra (deliciously garlicky ), mujuddara (sweet carmelized onions with savory lentils and rice), hummus (creamy and smooth), and the fava bean salad (spicy, herby) and it came with their freshly made pita. Their tzaziki was also delicious and had a nice fresh mint taste. Service was excellent and quick. Already been back once this week since my first time on Tuesday! read more

This was my first time here. There were all kinds of choices. I did the pick four and was able to try four different kinds of food. I love variety so this was right up my alley. My daughter has come here many times and recommended it. She said that her family loves everything they get from here. She got a steak kabob and hummus. We also got a side of grape leaves. You can either order a plated meal or buy things by the pound. It was a busy place. A large number of people were there for lunch. They served us quickly and kept the line moving. read more

I love Sassool. Their food is consistently good. There is shared parking in front of the business that is located in a shopping plaza.

I really enjoyed my experience at Sassool today! I got the kafta kabob (beef), roasted beet salad and Tabouli. I also got a small side of hummus.

I have been frequenting the Sassool off Lead Mine Road for years and years but this was my first time at the Cary location. They had all the same favorites. Sassool is the only restaurant that I could eat at every day and not grow tired of. My go to is the pick four platter and there are so many choices and variations! On this particular day I selected tuna salad, quinoa tabbouleh, beet salad and kale salad. All were absolutely phenomenal. The tuna salad is so flavorful and packed with tuna. Service was good -- they tried to keep the line moving as quickly as possible. Most choices here are healthy and they have so many gluten free options. Truly one of my favorite restaurants in the area. read more

Catered our event through Sasool, who also owns the venue (FigMint Farms) a complete letdown on every front. Do not trust them with your event. We chose Sasool to cater our daughter's graduation celebration at FigMint Farms a venue that Sasool also owns and manages assuming that having the food, the catering staff, and the venue all under one operation would guarantee a smooth, quality experience. It was anything but. If anything, controlling every part of the event gave them no excuses, and they still failed at all of it. The food arrived late and threw the entire timeline of our event into chaos. When it finally showed up, there weren't even enough plates for our guests despite the fact that fewer people attended than the headcount we paid for. What were guests supposed to do, eat off napkins? For what we paid, that level of carelessness is inexcusable. It got worse from there. We ran out of food in the middle of the event, and not because there wasn't enough. The catering staff had quietly left multiple trays sitting in a warmer out of sight and never told us, never mentioned it to anyone coordinating the event, and never said a word as our guests went hungry. We only discovered the untouched trays after everything was over. Many of our guests left without eating at all. We paid for full catering, and people walked out hungry because the staff couldn't be bothered to bring out food they had already prepared and then hidden away. The warning signs were there from the start. When we tried to plan the event, we scheduled a 9 AM meeting with their planning manager at the restaurant on Mother's Day weekend a date and time she personally confirmed three separate times that same week. We showed up; she didn't. Staff casually told us she had left to travel for the holiday. No call, no heads-up, nothing. And the aftermath has been just as telling. We've reached out repeatedly since the event, including emailing directly to explain that we had a terrible experience. The response? Not even a courtesy c to check on what happened and why our expertise was bad. They were glad to take our money and then disappeared the moment there was a problem to answer for. Between the restaurant and the venue, this is one operation that controls the entire experience and still managed to ruin a milestone celebration. The food was not worth the price, and the service was a disaster from planning to cleanup. Unless you're prepared to manage and double-check every detail yourself, do not rely on Sasool or FigMint Farms for your event. We won't be back. read more

Easily my favorite restaurant in the Triangle. Not only can you eat, but you can shop for staple Mediterranean groceries too!
