The kabobs need to be ordered, but there's plethora of fresh sides available. There are different price levels for making meals out of the cold sides. For their service they make sure you get your fresh pitas that come with meals. The restaurant has tables and chairs next to their store side of Mediterranean grocery items. It can get a little loud at peak times, but it's a satisfactory grab-a-table atmosphere. read more

So this place sells fresh pita cooked on a open hearth so you basically can't go wrong. The atmosphere is nice casual dining with a wonderful variety of fresh food for options for people with various dietary restrictions. There is even a cool little store inside with various products like tea, dates, snacks and pita. TIP: to avoid standing in a long line during lunch/dinner time plan to place your order ahead to beat the crowd. Don't forget the stuffed dates! read more

Sassool has never disappointed us. The only difficulty we have is a great one; the decision on what to order when looking at all the good choices. The service is friendly and very efficient. The ambiance is more like a food court, which is fine as we meet friends and family there, and don't have to worry too much about the noise we make while enjoying each other's company. read more

I always get the platter with 4 options. I usually get the corn salad, Lebanese green beans, the majadara ( I'm pretty sure I screwed that up) and the lentils or I forgot what it's called it called but I believe it's cabbage. The pita is baked fresh. And I always get amazing customer service. This is a family owned restaurant. You can tell the food is made with love read more

Very nice place! Tried for lunch the first time. We enjoyed the combos, two chicken shawarma and two chicken wrap with fatoush, tabouli, bean salad, and hummus! Nether chicken is marinated and lemony! Very tasty! The combos are generous and filling! The food was prepared fresh and brought to your table fast!!! I love the restaurant setting also! read more

Ordered takeout and it was delivered hot and it was delicious! Definitely will be back for more ! Next stop the cary location! read more

Sassool - Lebanese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

As a long time fan of Neomonde I was hesitant to switch it up and try Sassool because I make it to the Triangle on a rare basis. However, this was perhaps one of the best chicken shawarmas I have ever eaten. This was largely due to the perfection of the chicken. Only subtracting a star due to the chaos of ordering and the questionable cleanliness of the dining area. read more

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

Sassool is definitely my favorite "healthy" meal option in the Triangle. It's a Mediterranean place that serves a variety of sandwiches/wraps but also a ton of Mediterranean side dishes. My favorite option is to go with the "Pick 3" or "Pick 4" options and pick 3 or 4 sides to put together as a meal - the cilantro jalapeño hummus and orzo salads are my personal favorite! The selection isn't as crazy as say Mediterranean Deli in Chapel Hill but there are a ton of delicious side options to choose from! Also enjoy ending the meal with a slice of baklava and I like their pita bread as well! The Raleigh location has plenty of indoor seating and there's even a mini market where you can pick up different Mediterranean grocery items. read more

Love this restaurant! No skimping on portions at this location. The taboule was fresh and flavorful. The bread was warm and fresh. I love the beet hummus as it has a mild flavor to it and great texture. I asked for a side of labheh with my kibbe and they gave me a big portion. The grocery store is well stocked too with authentic food. They have sugar free sweets as well. Will definitely be back! read more

I'm disappointed in Sassool. We've probably eaten here over a dozen times. Every time we order delivery, something is wrong. Whether that's multiple missing items or, like two days ago, a piece of chicken in a meal that's supposed to be vegan, there's always something that makes us say "we're not ordering from here ever again". Unfortunately, we live in a part of Raleigh that doesn't have many delivery options, so on desperate nights, we turn to desperate measures. But I'm over Sassool. read more

Food was decent. Nothing special, but Neomonde wasn't open so I had to try something new. I got the chicken kebab family meal package, a beef kebab platter, chicken salad, chickpea salad, and grape leaves. Really nothing stood out, but nothing was terrible either. The family meal was very expensive for what it was - $39 for 6 small kebabs and two sides. I wonder if it would have been cheaper to get the items a la carte. Major complaint was the doordash ordering system - every item just had SO. MANY. OPTIONS. that it was just completely overwhelming to someone who hadn't been there before. List upon list upon list of picking sides, picking condiments, picking addons, picking things you don't want, with no descriptions provided for anything. Sassool needs to simplify their online menu because many of the options just didn't make sense and it almost dissuaded me from ordering in the first place. I ended up with way too much rice because I didn't realize my selections already came with rice, so there was no need to select rice as one of my side choices. Maybe that was explained to me, but there was just so much information that it was impossible to keep track. read more

Super tasty! I've been to their Cary location, but never this one in Raleigh. Very similar and you can expect the same experience at both locations. I have a hard time ordering anything except for the salad combo plates, so many options to chose from. On this visit I ended up going with the Mediterranean tuna salad, grape leaves, and hummus. The Mediterranean tuna salad had a note that it was new and improved and it was quite tasty, I'd definitely get that again. The grape leaves were good and the hummus was awesome. Super flavorful and just overall delicious. A favorite of my friends is the lentils, I sampled some and they were tasty. I'd definitely get those next time. The desserts looked good, but I did my best to quickly walk by them and not get hooked on anything. I like that they also have the market section as well, next time I'd like to take some time to walk through read more

The food is very tasty and healthy. We go there quite a bit. Always satisfying. Mediterranean cuisine

Sassool for dinner tonite. This is one of my favorites. For hot food, it's an order at the counter, take your number to the table place. If you order just salads from the display case, you carry your tray, cafeteria style. Tonite I had lamb kabobs, beet salad and mjadarah (lentils and rice with caramelized onions). The kabobs are cooked to order (be prepared to wait a few extra minutes). They're nice chunks of marinated lamb, grilled medium and scrumptious! Beets are pickled, with onions and tartly flavorful. Mjadarah is delicious - the blend of the texture and flavor of the lentils and rice, brought together by sweetish caramelized onions. Yum! Amy had the 4 side combo platter. She chose mediterranean chicken salad, root salad, sweet potato salad and tzatiki. The chicken salad is made from chunks of grilled chicken, mediterranean spices, walnuts, and a garlic dressing. Definitely not your bland deli chicken salad... delicious. The sweet potato salad is chunks of roasted sweet potatoes, spinach, celery, raisins, scallions, red bell pepper, vinegar and spices. It's an unique blend, with a little kick. All the meals are served with house baked pita bread - served warm and puffed up. Best way to devour the tzatiki is to dip the pita - tzatiki is creamy and garlicky and chock full of diced cucumber. There's a huge variety of different choices on the menu, something for everyone. If you're an aficionado of Lebanese/Mediterranean food, you will NOT be disappointed at Sassool. And if you've not yet tried this cuisine, check it out. Delicious! read more

The food is wonderful! And the price is good but I ordered two entrées and I only got one order of pita bread. My husband was so disappointed because he loves the bread. Also I got the wrong side. I also really wished they used gloves. There is plenty of touching things and tongs falling into food. The part that the person had in their hand. The line was long. I wished that they would do cafeteria style. Where someone fills the sides and some does the hot food. But overall the food is good. read more

Meh, not fabulous. I went with my standard Mediterranean dish that I get everywhere: falafel pita, couscous, and tabouli (got it with quinoa at Sassool). The pita bread was really dry and hard on the edges, like it was overdone. The pickled turnips were really tasty. The falafel was very fresh, which probably explains why it took longer than I anticipated for the food to come out. Needed more lemon tahini dressing. The tabouli was good, but I thought the couscous lacked flavor. I also got a piece of pistachio baklava, but it was broken in two when I opened the bag :(. Overall, I don't think I would try Sassool again. read more

I love eating this food. I have always enjoyed their 3 platter option but was super excited to have the chance to try their 4 platter meal. This gave me the opportunity to try a new dish. Well of course as usual everything is delicious. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. read more

Off the chain - Mediterranean/Lebanese food hall. From Grab and go grocery items to cold salads, sandwiches and you pick 3 or 4 items. Sassool has outdoor seating, tons of indoor seating, order ahead or to go options. Convenience is key! Meal time is usually pretty busy however the line moves quickly. Of course I come for the healthy Mediterranean options however they also have some to die for pastries & sweets! Sassool has a new location in the Morgan St food hall so check them out! Sweet potato salad is pretty popular and sometimes runs short! Like hummus with flavor? Try the jalapeño lime hummus. It's legit. read more

We have been eating here for several years. Lately we have been mostly taking out. Always been very happy with their food, service and courtesy. And, mostly deserving 4-1/2 stars. Last night however was disappointing. Brought home kefte kabob platter. When unwrapped the kabob, found both charred to burned. Cooks obviously didn't care how bad it would taste. I posted my feedback on their site contact page. Hadn't gotten ant response back. Management needs to review ratings frequently and take proper action admonishing staff to be more attentive and caring no matter regardless how busy and stressed they might get. read more

When the owners get rich, they start to commercialize everything even the customer service becoming terrible

O M G Comfort food done Mediterranean style. Hot food case, Cold food case. Pick three or four items for a low price. Make sure to locate the take away boxes as you will be filled to satisfaction and have enough for lunch or dinner the next day. I love the hot bar, my friends love the salad items. We both could happily bathe in the hummus. I have under good authority that my friend ate one pound of hummus in two days. She. Could. Not. Stop. Make sure you get a pint to take home with you. And when it runs out. You will cry. Your tastebuds have finally learned the difference between mass produced dry chickpeas and quality fresh ingredients. I do not know for certain how Sassool makes their hummus, but I would be willing to agree with my tastebuds that this stuff is scratch made. I really enjoy the lentils with caramelized onions. My only gripe is sometimes there could be more variety in the offerings. i think they swap out one or two hot bar items from time to time. I have never been disappointed. The server staff are also very friendly. read more

If you like Mediterranean cuisine this family owned Lebanese restaurant is for you. The food is consistently good. I love to come in and buy containers of the Mediterranean chicken salad, cabbage salad and chick pea salad to eat on during the week. Other favorite items include the mjadara, veggie lasagna, kibbeh, fava bean salad, lamb shawarma, and the stuffed dates for dessert. There is a great market inside the restaurant. Staff is friendly and if you go frequently enough make sure to get a frequent buyer club to earn discounts and free food. read more

I do not know what is happening with Sassooll ! the Spinach Fatayer pie was prepared for someone who had no idea on how to make it. The person folded the Feta pizza and made it not cooked because of the excess of dough. Someone has to train new people! There is no consistency on the amount of salads they put on the dish: some girls almost do not put enough. The basmati rice has no chicken and onions! read more

I eat here every time I visit Raleigh. The food is great and highly consistent. The only thing I dislike is the styrofoam take out containers. To the owners: Please consider changing your takeout containers to something more environmentally friendly. Styrofoam doesn't biodegrade and persist in the environment for thousands of years. read more

This was my 1st visit and I was very impressed with the choices, the quality and quantity of the serving. I am looking forward to eating here again and telling my family to dine here. I like that you can see the food since it's cafeteria style. read more

Wow!!! So delicious!!! Love the concept with both cold and hot sides to order while in line along with salad and grill options the friendly staff brings out when ready. On my first visit I had a salad with a chicken kabob which was the perfect size lunch portion for me. The second time I went through and tried several hot and cold items, all of which were very tasty! I love they have a little grocery section and all kinds of options for all appetites. I'll be back each time I find myself on this size for town for lunch! read more

I love how there are just enough options for hot and cold dishes, but not too many that makes it overwhelming. We got the 3 side platter with their popular lentil and caramelized onion salad, orzo salad and jalapeño cilantro hummus, and then a chicken skewer plate, with 2 different versions of chicken salad. I loved the lentil salad, the caramelized onions really carried it for me. The orzo was a little too lemony for me, I guess based on the green color I was expecting more of a pesto! The hummus was so delicious and green, that combined with the pita had me eating it for days. I also liked how the chicken salad was nutty with hints of grapes- I usually don't like western chicken salad but this one had a nice medley of flavors. The skewer and rice on its own had a nice char but a little dry, but having saucy sides balanced it out. One of our pitas was burnt which may have just been a quick oversight but I'm sure if we asked the staff would have switched it out for us, no problem! read more

Delicious & fresh!! The best chicken kabob pita I've ever had!! That chicken was flavored perfectly and was JUICY!! The taziki was spot on, the complimentary pita was piping hot, sadly the falafel was a little too well done for my taste but the inside wasn't dry, so it was ok. The baklava.... the BAKLAVA!!! Sooo good!!! They have around 8 different types or so- I am a lover of baklava, so when i find the real thing I have to try it- in this case i got 4 different small pieces to try & compare over the next couple of days... so far the cinnamon roll baklava is in the lead... the orange baklava was good but not as good as the other. On top of a Wednesday night deal, they had a live piano playing singer & he was good!

Best place for Mediterranean food in Raleigh. Fresh and delicious with homemade pita.

Food is amazing. I am absolutely obsessed with their regular and jalapeño cilantro hummus.

Portions are so generous, I always walk away with leftovers which makes the cost so worth it to me. I love the endless opportunities and possibilities for mixing it up. Their little store is also so unique and the spice prices can't be beat. I love how quick this location was for lunch too. Highly recommend if you like Mediterranean food! read more

I ordered takeout today. Easy online ordering process, and they'll bring it outside. Just call when you arrive and pull up to the entrance. As for the food, I adore their sides. Today I had the 4 item sampler with Autumn Root Salad, Fatoush Salad, Baba Ghanouj and Tatziki. Plenty of food for 2 meals (especially if you add their free pita bread). I'm all set up with a smartorderonline account so future orders from Sassool with be easy breezy :) read more

I LOVE Sassool!!! It is hands down one of my favorite places. They have endless choices of delicious Lebanese food. It's overwhelming to try to pick something out because I know that whatever I get will be amazing. They have hot and cold options to choose from which are viewed under a beautiful glass display. I usually order a pick-four so I can try four things and I have plenty leftovers to take home with me. My favorite thing there is the cilantro jalapeño hummus. It's to-die-for!!! I really like their various kale salads and chicken salads too. They have a pretty sizable store that offers food and drink items that can be purchased to take home. We have purchased all sorts of interesting items to take home. The staff are all really nice and will answer questions about any of the items they have and help give recommendations. They offer catering and family style meal options. Check them out, you will not be disappointed! read more

This is my new favorite place! Just wish we had one closer to my hometown. All food is good, reasonbly priced, service fast, and very healthy options. had chicken kabobs, super salad, and beet salad. What else do you need? read more

Seven of us had a Monday night meal here in July and I was super impressed with the quality! Never having been there before, I was overwhelmed at first. You order at the counter. Menus are on brochures, but also on boards up above, and there are counters full of food. What's a confused gal to do? Let people go ahead until I could figure it out, that's for sure! I ended up with a Single Kabob Platter for $8.99. Chicken for me. Came with choice of two sides. I chose a kale salad, and beets with carrots. Loved it all. The chicken was so moist and full of marinated/grilled flavor. The veggies were a perfect balance of sweet and savory, with great textures. Others were happy with their choices also, including (especially) the Vegans. Love love love that there's something for everyone here. The fresh bread is beyond great, especially when paired with their incredible hummus. Seriously some of the best hummus I've ever had. Made Husband go back and purchase some of their Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus to go, which was fabulous! Even on a Monday night, it was packed, loud and a tad confusing, but for the price, quality and taste...super impressive! read more

Mmm! Wow! Ooo! Yes! I drool for Sassool! Some of my running group stopped in after a run to get the Ethnosh event's $5 sampler plate at Sassool. It's a cafeteria-style restaurant and market where you'll find Neomonde's super fresh pita bread, desserts, and more. It's casual enough to stop in and grab a bite to eat while wearing spandex and a running hat. Inviting ambiance with charming family photos prominently displayed throughout with open seating areas and a beautiful dessert display case. Nice selection of gluten free desserts as well. The sampler plate included a fresh, tangy sweet kale salad with apples and either walnuts or pecans; hummus; toasted pita chips; quinoa; and roasted sweet potatoes. All delicious. My friends frequent both Sassool and Neomonde and they offered me a sample of the chicken salad with huge chunks of chicken. It was delicious. I also tried the baba ganoush...excellent as well. I'm drooling just thinking about the entire meal and I can't wait to go back! Overall, a great little family owned store and restaurant where you can get a quick, delicious meal or pick up the ingredients to make your own! read more

Their process for taking orders is not effective. Which is apparent in the fact that my order was wrong. I ordered two kids pizzas and a chicken shawarma wrap. What was brought instead was kabab plate with the pizzas. When brought to the attention of staff I assumed it would be fixed. Instead nothing happened and when I asked about the status of my lunch it hadn't been started yet. So I asked for a refund and turns out the guy never wrote my order down. Everyone was else in my party was done with their lunch so I left without eating. It was my first and last time visiting. read more
