    Dead fly in my salad. Avoid this place at all costs!

    Stay away! Just ordered take out. First of all - the order was wrong. We made only one modification which was no tomatoes to the salad, however they messed up multiple items on our order. Second and the most egregious part is that I found a dead fly in my salad! Yes you heard right (picture will be posted). It makes me think that the salad is left out for prolonged periods of time in the restaurant which I'm sure is a health code violation. Disgusted and will never eat here again. Go elsewhere for your Mediterranean food needs (plenty of better options in the Cary area)!

    Whipped Feta
    Shenna W.

    Service: The staff was friendly and very attentive to us (well to everyone in the store). When I had questions about different things, they were very willing to find out the answer and ensure my dietary needs were met. I really appreciated that. Ambiance: The location was very clean and cool. The day of our visit it was HOT outside. It was a pleasant temp within the store. The tables were clean, however, whatever they use to clean the table has started to strip the clear coat on the table. This has lead to some of the tables being sticky - boo! Food: I normally will order the Salmon with pimento cheese. However, I decided to order the chicken platter and whipped feta on the side. The chicken was tasty in flavor, but dry. I had to add more dressing to it. That was a little bit of a bummer. The sides were good (potatoes and chips). Now for the whipped feta...OMG that was good! So creamy with a little hint of honey to cut the sharp bite of the cheese. It was my favorite item of the whole meal!

    Came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. The chicken kebab meat was very tender and seasoned well. Greek salad was fresh and flavorful. Restaurant could've been cleaner as there were a lot of tables that needed to be cleaned.

    Not a place I would try again. The place was clean and nice As for the food I had the greek salad Not much to it. Lettuce, wet tomatoes, cheese, chickpeas, a couple of pecans, dressing and a burnt piece of bread.

    Lemon chicken soup
    Amy H.

    We had the hummus and pita bread for appetizer. It was really good. Creamy, good texture and taste to the hummus. Would recommend and definitely get this again. Lemon chicken soup was way to sour for my taste, so much lemon that it overpowered the entire soup. I took it home and added more chicken broth and it was much much better. I also ordered the Chicken kabob with rice and salad. It was good. The chicken was very well seasoned. But again had a lemon flavoring to it. The taziki sauce balanced it out and was really good. Husband ordered the lamb burger but was given a gyro instead. Luckily he isn't one to make a big deal out of getting the wrong meal. He was happy with it and it was the same price. He was able to order beer here which was nice surprise. They offer app ordering or you can walk up and order. They give you a number for you table and bring the food out to you.

    Lamb burger. Soo good!
    Chris K.

    First time dining here, even though it's been on my radar since they opened. I got an email about a special offering that sounded and looked great, a lamb burger, so wanted to give it a try. The lamb burger is excellent. It's so good I don't know why they wouldn't add it to the menu permanently. The burger is topped with roasted red peppers and tzatziki sauce and underneath the burger is slices tomato and fresh crumbled feta cheese. I didn't get a picture of it so am using the one from their email. My spouse got the chicken skewers with basmati rice and Greek salad which she enjoyed, but said the chicken was a bit overcooked and somewhat dry. The staff is very nice and the food came up rather quickly, which was nice cos we were hungry. I hope to make it back again while the lamb burger is still on the menu.

    The food is really fresh and the staff is very friendly. I decided to stop here for a quick bite before a work thing. Glad I did! Their pimento cheese is super tasty.

The disappointing part was that they were already out of the Doner plate by 2:30 p.m., even though we came for dinner service. It was frustrating because that's one of the main dishes people go there for. What really stopped me from giving this place a higher rating was the condition of the men's bathroom. It was pretty gross, with visible mold and a wet towel on the floor that looked like it was there because of a leaking toilet. A lot of people say the bathroom reflects how clean the restaurant is overall, and honestly that crossed my mind while eating there. The food and service were good, but the restaurant really needs to improve the cleanliness and do a better job keeping popular menu items available.

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.

We started with the saganaki and hummus, then decided to go all in and order the Grecian Feast for two. In hindsight, that was a lot of food after already getting starters. Definitely come hungry or plan to split the feast with 3. The platter itself is huge and comes with a dip, rice, salad and your choice of meats and/or seafood. The highlights for us were the spicy feta and the salmon, both of which had great flavor. The lowlight was the chicken, which was way overcooked and ended up tough and pretty tasteless. Service unfortunately dragged the experience down quite a bit. It felt like we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came by with menus, then another 15 minutes before our drink orders were taken. Once we finally ordered everything, the food actually came out fairly quickly. But by the end of the meal we were basically hunting for our server. At one point we both separately went to the bathroom (including a trip to the one downstairs) and still had not seen our server to try to get the check. Overall, come for the rooftop atmosphere, but I would recommend ordering all of your drinks and food at once so you can just sit back and enjoy the patio without waiting around for service.

The restaurant provides a soft-lit ambiance with well-curated dining spaces and an upbeat atmosphere to bring family, friends, business colleagues, and loved ones together to create memorable experiences. -- We started with the roasted beats and soutzoukakia, leading into the main entrées: the clay pot lamb and the grilled bone-in pork chop. The roasted beets were presented in a technically complex way, showcasing the vibrant colors of the food combinations and inviting you to savor each bite. They combined perfectly roasted beets with a combination of manouri cheese to add richness to the dish; the arugula introduced a slight pepperiness, spiced walnuts for crunch, and the ladolermono, which brought a degree of citrus flavor, making it a well-balanced dish of flavors. The soutoukakia - lamb and beef meatballs - were tender, well-seasoned, and cooked in a tomato sauce to create a balance of richness and flavors. -- The clay pot lamb is nothing short of amazing, slow-cooked and seasoned with white wine, garlic, and herbs. Garished with grape leaves, paired with lemon potatoes and fresh dill, the dish offers aromas and flavors that leave you wanting more. The grilled bone-in pork chop is equally as impressive, cooked to perfection - the juicy chop is complemented by garlicky kale and roasted squash, with an apple mostarda on top, adding an excellent mix of earthiness and sweet-tart to create a bold but perfectly balanced dish. -- Given the importance of food, service, and ambiance, this restaurant delivers strong overall performance across all categories. I would strongly recommend this restaurant as an overall amazing and memorable experience.

Service was pleasant, the menu felt thoughtfully curated, and the experience as a whole was very polished. This is a great place to bring friends, celebrate something, or enjoy a stylish night out. Just don't expect to be blown away flavor-wise if you're deeply familiar with Greek cuisine. A beautiful restaurant with good food, elevated vibes, and a price tag that reflects the experience more than the portions.

    "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.
