Always delicious Food Workers are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Sassool! read more

We LOVE this place. Don't be scared off by the long line, it moves quickly and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I remember our first time feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the options. The staff helped lead me towards things I'd like, and honestly we haven't found a single menu item yet that we haven't loved. The vibe is good and so is the food! You can't go wrong with Shawarma, kabobs or pizzettes for the kids. I also love doing a pick four platter of the sides. Some of our favorites are: - Mediterranean chicken salad - Mjadarah - jalapeño cilantro hummus - Autumn root salad - black bean salad - cabbage delight - tzatziki *BONUS* kids eat free with adult purchase on Tuesday nights! Extra kid hack: we order market sides to take home to make packing kid lunches very easy for the week :) read more

Always delicious! There's always a long line and there's a reason -fresh, delicious food! We typically get the 4 side plates and kabobs. The homemade pita is so good, served warm right from the oven behind the cashiers. The sugar free cheesecake is very good, too. Kale salad, spanokopita, fruit salad, potatoes, it's all so good. Parking is a bit hectic on weekends, just a heads up. read more

Horrific service. We waited for takeout for over 15 minutes and we waited patiently the whole time and didn't say a word. When we finally went to ask for some sort of an update, we were met with a very aggressive manager, who first told us we need to stand back behind the taped line on the floor and then told us we need to have a "more" patience. We had not said a word or even asked for a status update before she told us we needed to have "more" patience. Then when we asked for a manager ( who it turned out this very rude person happened to be ) and she refused to see us. The person who helped us directed us to a man who we explained to and immediately got aggressive with us and told us "yeah 15 to 20 minutes is what it takes". Unless the owner's address this I definitely will never be back there and could not recommend it to anyone. read more

Sassool checks all my boxes for a flavorful, nourishing Lebanese Mediterranean meal. I've heard high praises about their delicious meals and decided to order delivery this afternoon. The portions are generous and the meals are so nutritious and flavorful. I decided on the Pick 4 and chose the roasted beet salad, falafel, jalapeño cilantro hummus and Mediterranean chicken salad. I also ordered a chicken kabob with greens. The jalapeño cilantro hummus and pita was a hit for me. The roasted beet salad with mint leaves was so flavorful ! The falafel was tasty but could have been warmer. Everything was perfect and I have food leftover for tomorrow. I also ordered a cheesecake as a treat for later. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

Sassool - Fresh and delicious Jalapeño cilantro hummus, falafel, roasted beet salad and Mediterranean chicken salad - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Had the chicken shawarma combo. Flavors were really good, not too salty. Had the lentil salad and chicken salad. All dishes come with free pita bread which are fresh out of the oven and warm. Operates like a supermarket, workers are really nice and welcoming. Lots of options for the sides. Overall, this establishment has nice local vibes and makes you feel welcome as a customer. would come back again read more

I really liked the choice of creating my own tray and having different options to choose from. read more

Sassool - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

My favorite Mediterranean place is Raleigh! The food here is delicious and fresh. Since you're reading this, Charlie's Kabob Grill is also amazing! But back to the review: I love the food here and the fresh baked pita bread! We usually get the kabob platter with kafta and steak (15.99) with two sides: tabouli and hummus. The platter comes with rice and some toum (garlic paste) but we like to order an extra one (try dipping the pita in the garlic paste!). We love the hot and fresh pita bread, right out of the oven. It can get very busy but usually it's quick service. You order at the counter, pay, get a number, get a table and they'll bring your food to your table. They also have a store with lots of Mediterranean ingredients and other foods. read more

Sassool - Chicken Kabob, hummus and Fatoush Salad - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambience: 4 Date/Time: 10/15/2024 7pm Crowd: 1/2 full + lots of take-out orders Order: Chicken Kabob combo plate w/hummus & grape leaves Hadn't been here in awhile and it looks like they've picked a lot of fans since. It seems to be crowded most every time I come here! The little grocery area in the back left side is pretty well stocked and has quite a bit of a selection of items. The order line in the back right offers a wide selection of both cold & hot sides and main dishes from the display or the grill. As you make your way past the order counter, the desserts look awesome and tempting! The folks behind the order counter are all good and efficient as well as the pay counter. And don't forget to get your hot pita when you pay! Back toward the front when you enter, the 2 dining areas are to the immediate left and right, with a small area in the grocery area in back. The place is on the noisy side when it gets full (most of the time) but if you can get a table on the left side as you enter, it shields you a little bit. Definitely recommended! read more

I love Sassool and I can literally eat here daily. I enjoy the salmon burger, kale salad and rice. I don't believe there is anything on the menu that I dislike. I've enjoyed the lamb, stuff dates and baklava as well. The staff here are always rushing, so it's easy to be overlooked if you're not approaching and immediately giving an order. The space is always nice and clean. I always find a clean table and the restaurant is well lit. It is loud in here but once you take the first bite from your food you'll never notice. I like to enjoy mine as take out. read more

Another terrific takeout meal from Sassool, there's a reason they're always busy! I got a pick 4 entree,as did my wife. We both got the chicken salad, really fresh, awesome texture. We both like the super salad, it's a tasty and healthy mix of grains, greens, and beans, always a good bet. We love their homemade that comes with their meals, that seals the deal. Worth a stop for fantastic Mediterranean dishes! read more

I visit Raleigh often and my flight usually gets in around lunch time. This is my go to spot!! They have so many Lebanese and Mediterranean options available for lunch. It's kind of cafeteria style. You just walk up and order and they plate it for you. From Greek salads to tabouli salad, salads made several ways, seasonal salads, baba ghanoush hummus, grape leaves, Labna, they have everything. I like the Pick three or pick four platter where I can get to try several of the dishes that they're serving that day. They also have hot dishes like Música and kebabs and they have this amazing pizza.. It is really hard not to over order!! The food is so good! read more

I moved away from Raleigh over a year ago and, not being dramatic, I still have dreams about the food at Sassool. All of the locations are clean, service is great and food is spectacular. Most authentic mediterranean food I have ever had. Every time I am back home in Raleigh, it is the first place I go. read more

This is one of my favorite lunch spots to stop by. This is a place where I love the kebabs, but I wouldn't suggest getting the sandwich options that they have. The kebabs and the sides are where they really shine and you can appreciate all the flavor. They have some really great cold and hot sides and their desserts are amazing. I love the baba ghanoush and always get it with olives and oil. It feels like you're in a gas station shop the way that it is set up, but it is really good food for a great price. This is really great for anyone who's trying to be healthy and have some balanced lunch options. The service is very quick and you're able to get your food in a timely manner. It is a good option for sit down or take away. This is a super casual lunch spot. read more

We had a group get together here and it was a lovely place to have a movie club. There were times where it got loud but that's expected with the influx of patrons. Everyone enjoyed their food. The clerk who rung up me and my husband was friendly and jovial. read more

Four stars with a lot of reservations. I ONLY get the pick four platter -- 3 cold sides and 1 hot one. I never order anything that has to be prepared by the kitchen. So, this review is based on a long history of ordering straight from the deli line. I can say this. It is usually pretty consistent. Sometimes things are a little too sour, but I think that might just be due to seasonal variations in the citrus. I will say that the food is often a little too bland. I have been adding salt and pepper, which does actually make a tremendous difference. The ratatouille is my go to hot side. It's not as good as a rival's ratatouille. It's more like stewed vegetables. But, it does please me nonetheless. If I could give this place a 3.5, I totally would. I just think 3 isn't fair. I think 4 is a little too generous. I do find the food to have a certain quality. It's clean, it sticks to your ribs, and in general I feel pretty good after eating it. That being said, if I had the choice between this place, and their rival -- I'm going with the other place every single time. read more

This eatery is close to home (within walking distance). The food is always excellent. And because it is, it's usually quite busy. But the food offerings are well worth the wait. As well as the shelf stable items. I definitely recommend this business! read more

We love this place. The portions are big enough to share between two people on the pick 4. Everything's always super fresh and flavorful. The tuna salad is the best! And every plate comes with hot fresh pitas, right from the woodfired oven. Yum! read more

I recently visited my cousin in Raleigh and we ordered Sassool for takeout. I really loved this restaurant and all of the options they offer! You can eat healthy here and there are so many different combinations you can try. The staff service was very friendly and attentive when I arrived to pick the order up and everything was ready pretty quickly! I enjoyed everything I ordered and would go back next time I visit to try some more! My order was the combo platter with a chicken kebab over rice with cous cous and a refreshing chickpea salad. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture! read more

Eight of us ate there, ordering all kinds of things and everybody liked everything. It was a Sunday lunch and they were super-busy so we had to wait in line but they were polite and we got our food quickly. I ordered the non-vegetarian stuffed eggplant which came with two sides. I chose the fava bean salad which was spectacular and the felafel which i gave to my hubby. The eggplant was good but not great - it was a bit bland. It was a generous portion. If I re-visit the area, I'd go back but order something else. read more

I don't give out five star reviews often but everything on my four option plate was great ! There is a little market inside as well. Staff friendly, very busy inside but lots of seating. Gluten free options galore too. read more

Sassool - Beef kabob with rice, hummus and pita and beet salad - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Amazing selection. I got the sampler plate and tried several salads. The Mediterranean Chicken Salad was so delicious!

Almost perfect meal...big crowd in town and ordered two fam dinners plus extra sides and deserts....Beef shawarma, never had from Sassool, but have had from other places. Meat was thick and not tender at all. Not sure if it was a rush to judgment on prep or not cooked the length it should have been. Like to see this improved upon in the future. Cheers! read more

Omg. I am speechless. Went here for the first time with my boyfriend and we were completely blown away by how good and flavorful EVERYTHING was. Literally. Every single thing we ate was AMAZING. On top of that, the staff was so friendly and helpful. We are addicted!!!! read more

Food is always good how ever check each item you order before leaving even though the time before this I did and they got irritated with me because only space was at check out counter, so today it was packed and I trusted a simple order and drove 35 min back to Durham only to have the wrong sandwich and it's highly disappointing when your craving something and spend over a hour on the road for it to be wrong. The manager was super friendly and refunded me for that item but the other staff in store when I picked up and the caller I first spoke with was not pleasant. Just very disappointing and discouraging when you go in any business anymore and staff act like they hate there job, this is no customer service or appreciation anymore. read more

The best Mediterranean food ever. Just get a pick 3 or pick 4 to save time. It's all amazing, especially hummus, baba ghanouj, house made pitas, beet salads (both) and falafels. read more

I loved the ambience when I walked in. I liked checking out the grocery store section and then going to the other side of the restaurant and ordering hot food. The food I ordered was delicious and because of Dine In The 919 event, I was able to try FOUR sides for $9.19. That's hard to beat! Too bad entrees don't qualify for the pick 4. I really wanted to try the Vegetarian Lasagna and it's at the top of my list of things to try next time. The staff was nice and let me sample sides that I was unsure of (i.e the sweet potato hummus). The deserts were also delicious as well. Special thanks to the cashier Daia who was kind, patient, and very helpful in explaining to my girlfriend which deserts had dairy. They have a vegan baklava and my girlfriend said "It was SO good and I'm so happy that they had vegan options." read more

I haven't been to Sassool in a while so I was excited that they were one of the participating restaurant in the #Dineinthe919 deals. This was my first time at this particular location. The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza with other businesses that share the parking lot. The restaurant is large and has several tables for those that chose to dine in. I came during lunch time and there were several people dining in and in the line waiting to be served. The line moved fairly quickly. Once I got up to counter I asked the employee if she needed to see my check in for the deal. She responded I guess so. I checked in while standing in front of her and showed her the check in deal. She looked at it with a confused looked for an extended period of time without saying anything so I asked was she familiar with the deal and she did not respond. I asked her a couple more times & she finally said I am waiting for you to tell me what you want. I told her the four items that I wanted for my sampler. The items were displayed in a glass display with labels for the sides. I chose the fatoosh, a corn salad, tabouleh, and the Mediterranean chicken. When I got to the cash register I showed the cashier the deal and he seemed a little confused as well. He later gave me a cup for the self serve fountain drinks that offered juice and soda. The cup was a nice size. He also gave me pita bread. Prior to checking me out he asked me again how much the meal should be. Overall the food was really good and tasted fresh. The Mediterranean chicken and the corn salad were my favorite. The pita bread was good and soft. read more

I wish I lived here. I would eat every meal here! Was visiting my son and he brought us in for dinner. So much to choose from. Large portions of delicious foods. Many healthy options. The little market inside is awesome. Loved it! read more

Great place to get Mediterranean food. They have a big selection of items to choose from. We went during lunch but the service was super quick. We got a pita sandwich combo with their famous chicken salad and it was delicious! The food was so good that I even forgot to take pictures!!! They serve fresh pita with the food and I would go back just for that alone. The items are reasonably priced and they have a seating area inside too if you want to dine in. Definitely recommend getting their chicken salad and pita sandwich. Will be back for more. read more

Sassool - Chicken Salad - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Oh how I love Sassool! When I'm in the mood for something light, I get the Pick 3 or Pick 4 and get delicious vegetarian cold salads (autumn root is my favorite) and eat it for two meals, but if I'm hungry I go for chicken kebabs and stuff myself silly. The garlic sauce that comes with the kebabs is killer and I think order chicken specifically to get the garlic sauce. Everything at Sassool is fresh, well seasoned, and delicious. I could eat here every day if it weren't always so crowded, but that just tells you how much people love it! read more

Sassool - Outside - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

We've been dining at Sassool since they opened. Still the best Mediterranean in the Triangle in our opinion.

I love Sassool! I go here often! The food is amazing and the portion sizes are great. I almost always get the pick 4 and there are so many amazing options I usually get two pick 4s because I can't choose just 4 sides. It makes a great lunch and then a great dinner. When I'm training for marathons this is such a great healthy go to option for me. My favorites are the Orzo Pasta Salad, Pearled Couscous, Med Chicken Salad, Sweet Potato Salad, Corn Salad, Fatoush, Cabbage Salad and Lebanese Rice. These are all so great! The service is always fast. Even if you see a long line at a poplular lunch or dinner time don't worry the line will move fast. read more

Delicious as always. We ordered ahead and the meal was ready on time. Love their convenient store too, picked up great tea and spices.

We stopped in on yet another dreary Friday night in North Carolina. It was pouring and the place was busy. There was a long line but it moved quickly. We went there with the intention to dine in, which we did. They have removed some of the tables and spaced out the rest to comply with the current indoor dining restrictions. All of the staff were wearing gloves and masks and they are cleaning the tables between customers. The food here is great. We were big Greek / Mediterranean / Middle Eastern foodies back when we lived in NYC. We were happy to find this place when we moved here five years ago. I went with the large kabob platter with the lamb skewers over rice, Orzo pasta and cabbage salad (loaded up carb night). My wife went with the same but with two mixed salads (can't remember the exact name), our son got the chicken salad, garden salad and hummus. I also got an order of grape leaves and we got some hot pita bread to split. We splurged on a dessert (it was Friday) and got a flourless chocolate pistachio tort. Like I said before, the food was awesome. The service here is also really good. they were really busy and there was a long take out line and the phone was ringing off of the hook. It took a little while for the food to come out which is understandable. They have a nice grocery section with hard to find items that you normally can't find in Raleigh. If you're into Greek / Mediterranean / Middle Eastern food, this is the place for you. Definitely check them out. read more
