Excellent Middle Eastern spot and so close by!! The service is fantastic and the food is delicious!…read moreI love the platters because you get a lot and my husband loves the schwarma/gyros because it's all wrapped up in a pita. We've had the rice and stuffed grapes leaves which are yummy sides and even gotten the Baklawa which was very authentic with a light rose water taste and not drenched in honey. It's hard not to eat here several times a week it's so good!!

Great mediteranean food at this new Taza location in Wake Forest…read more Everything inside is bright, shiny and new. It's an order at the line place- think Chipotle or Moe's. Service is quick and friendly. Ordering online is straightforward, only 10 minutes till food was ready. There are a half dozen tables for eat-in, plus a few outside for warmer weather. Tried a Mediteranean platter, which includes a chicken kabob, hummus, stuffed grape leaves, and tabouli. Also comes with warm pita and a slice of baklava. The kabob is spiced and grilled to perfection. A nice crunch on the outside, hot and juicy on the inside. The hummus is creamy and garlicky, perfect for dipping the chicken and the pita. Tabouli is crisp and fresh, very tart. The only minor disappointment was the baklava. I was in the mood for Greek-style, dripping in honey. Taza is Lebanese-styke, more buttery and creamy. Still good but not what I was expecting. The falafel platter also delicious. Unique donet-shaped falafel and delightfully crispy and we'll seasoned. The Greek salad is missing the kalamata olives, but does include sliced green AND black loves. Tahini sauce for dipping is excellent. All in all a good meal. There's growing restaurant competition in Wake Forest. I think this one is a keeper!

"Consistency Matters"…read more The food is delish, let's start there. This hasn't been on my bingo card for a while and boo hoo! The garden pizzette and chicken shawarma are fan favorites for a reason. Chicken Shawarma is a (IMO) well seasoned cinnamon forward profile that delivers a tender chew. Don't let the cinnamon description deter you. The flavor is complex, savory, and very good! The garden pizzette is delicious. The perfect mixup of feta, mint, tomato, and cucumber...Chef's Kiss (dip in hummus and/or tzatziki for that extra, extra added flavor). We also loved the tzatziki/lebnah sauce. Perfect balance for our Americanized palate. My biggest complaint, would be consistency. I ordered twice in one week. Each meal was delicious, but noticeable different. Not a huge factor, but one I thought worth mentioning. Bread was whole wheat ... cool/ not a problem .. but also not my preference. All in all, a darn good meal! Sold side options. Fast casual Mediterranean/Lebanese : 4.5

I usually go to the Cary location for multiple catering orders that I place per month. The people…read moreat the Cary location have been very polite, friendly and helpful. I was going to be closer to the Raleigh location this past month so I decided to go to the Raleigh location and see if they could do the same as cary. I went in and asked a young man he said that should not be a problem for me to put in my catering orders and then have my payment done a certain way at the register, as they usually do, in cary. I placed my order and got to the register and then the very nice girl that was there was going to ring me up. She wasn't sure how to manually enter my credit card information that I needed to give, so she asked what I'm going to assume was her manager or whoever was in charge that day? The woman turned around and looked at me as if I walked in and started in her face. Her face was so disgusted, twisted up, and snarled with disapproval. She asked me, with a huge attitude, "what was going on here?". I politely explained the situation, which is that, at the Cary location our company pays over the phone when I arrive. I handed her the phone to give her the credit card information and she was speaking to my boss (who is a very world-renowned doctor) about the payment info. She was so rude to him and said "well usually we don't do this but we'll do it this time". I informed her that from now on, since it was such a problem we will gladly go to the other location or just another restaurant in general. The younger people at the register were extremely friendly and polite and really made this experience the most positive thing from this whole trip to this location. As I was leaving the female who had the attitude earlier did say that she " was sorry, and that she just didn't know what she was walking into". At this point, I really did not care about an I'm sorry, because I will never go back to this location. I don't care who or what she is, but if she doesn't know what she's walking into, then the best idea for her(if she had any business or common sense)would be to approach it in a professional manner and not with a stank attitude. I have worked in doing catering sales,amahing businesses, throwing events, and ordering multiple catering orders for other businesses that I run. I have never and would never, approach anyone like this if I was uncertain of any situation. It puts a really bad look on their whole concept. I have already talked to multiple people about this and told all the physicians that I work with. I have also discussed this encounter with other people who do multiple orders for catering and other event networking groups. I will never be ordering from this location again. I hope whatever they do, they get it right, and start hiring people who appreciate having a job, to make sure that no one else feels so turned off by someone like this. I'm only giving a two stars for the Friends League kids that were at the counter and at the cash register

Husband's sandwich smelled and looked wonderful. It was large and he said it tasted great and that it had "good quality meat". Meanwhile, for just a dollar less my salad was a big disappointment, but that's really my fault because it was just what the menu said it would be...lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber and cheese with a Greek dressing. Yawn. Fortunately I had some kalamata olives and pepperoni at home to doctor it up. Would have loved to try the crab bisque others have raved about, but tonight's soup was chicken gnocchi, which didn't call out to me. Next time I would definitely skip the salad and stick with what they are named for...their sandwiches!
