Top Middle Eastern restaurants in Durham, United States

I’ve always had great food from here. Vegetarian so I always get falafel. This weekend we had catering for 50 and had a perfect experience. Fantastic food, great communication, and awesome delivery and setup. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience yesterday at the restuarant! The food was delicious and the owner was very kind and offered me to try free baklava which was so good & the arabic tea was perfect! Definitely will recommend my friends to come try it out!! Five stars!

This is the worst chicken shawarma I have ever had! This chicken is so dry it's like eating sandpaper and its grilled, Not shaved, barely marinated. Where are the vegetables??? I think I found two tiny tomato pieces with the iceberg lettuce.

I have been to this restaurant in person and it was a great experience! The reason I’m posting today is because I got delivery from GrubHub and was particularly impressed as to how well my order was followed and exceeded my expectations. The food tasted amazing and the presentation was outstanding. The care that was put into my order meant a lot to me as I’ve been sick. Thank you again for amazing service and quality!

Disappointed in the chicken shawarma, very very bland and tough. Protein bowl was just okay. I wish the bread was the softer pita type bread. Overall not an enjoyable experience. The best thing was the fries and the desert looked good but I didn't try it.

Amazing 10/10 protein bowl. It’s like a cheesesteak salad with rice (comes with both chicken and steak) - it should come with tomatoes and feta cheese but you have to add it and pay extra. My favorite tzatziki ever, super thin and not chunky - like a ranch but with dill. Love this place 🙌🏼

Have been coming here since I was a kid, have always spoken highly of this place and the owner, I’ve always loved the food - I decided to bring my friends in last night. We got in around 8:40, we got the kids settled and the food around 8:45 and while I understand they close at 9, a warning would’ve been nice before someone came out from the back at 9:07 to tell my friend’s husband that we need to get out so he can go home. The food wasn’t up to par, the chicken felt a little rubber-y. The service certainly wasn’t up to par. I have had so many warm memories here over the last 30 years and it’s unfortunate to see what’s become of it.

My wife & I ate lunch at noon on a Saturday, so few other customers were there. Our first visit, and we're not experts at Middle Eastern cuisine. I chose the Signature Bowl with quinoa instead of rice. It was tasty, though the marinade seemed to overwhelm the chicken flavor. The hummus & warm pita were nice! My wife tried the Chicken Shawermah. She says it seemed a bit dry (perhaps coming off the grill), and didn't taste like that item when she makes it in oven at home. Service was fast, portions were good size. We didn't try desserts this time. Interesting wall "posters" with currencies from around the world.
