Good food, great prices. The chicken shawarma wrap is my favorite and this is my go-to place for a quick and easy meal. The owners are sweet and recognize their regular customers.
The food was amazing, great tasting and fresh. Service was really good as well. The only negative was that the tables were not kept cleaned; we had to wipe our own table down but I would go again because it tasted so good.
Authentic experience! Women wearing burkas and hijabs, a cook that only speak Arabic, tasty middle eastern food. It's all here! I had chicken and beef shawarma with yellow rice, falafel, and tatziki which was some of the best I've ever had. It was pretty good. My friend enjoyed his platter as well. Food was comparatively priced to similar restaurants. Loved the attached market too. Will return for sure.
I tried this restaurant during my visit to Raleigh and also after a bad experience from a nearby Mediterranean restaurant. I think this place has the authentic and best shawarma in the town. Also, they serve Halal meat, which I confirmed from the person on register.
There is plenty of parking available, and the seating arrangement for dining is acceptable, too. Overall, the restaurant is very clean, which is unsual for a market+restaurant setup (saying based on my past experiences)
I would definitely recommend this restaurant and market to anyone visiting Raleigh.

I tried the beef shawarma and fries. They have real meat on the gyro machine and so no ground cone. Meat was really tender with all the spices and the amount of hummus inside the shawarma wrap was just right. The bread is fresh and the garlic dip was amazing. Fries seem like they are frozen ones but tasted great. They rejected my request to place the fries in the wrap which gets them extra respect points. Overall this was a 8.5/10 experience. Delicious.
Taste: 8/10. Delicious combination with the salad.
Meat quality: tender and seemed fresh
Sauce: Flavorful nice mix!
Bread quality: Fresh bread
Filling variety: Fresh vegetables. The slices make it a bit hard to eat with fillings
Value for money: Wish the portion was bigger.

I loved their chicken shawarma sandwich and pistachio baklava. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu and maybe grab some Turkish delights from their store.
Their food, desserts, & service is all so good! I love the staff here, so welcoming & always explain their foods & desserts. Occasionally I’ll come in here to grab some snacks. I just got a fruit & Oreo cake & they’re so bomb!!! They also have a rewards system so you can get free stuff after spending a certain amount.
