Where is the Best Mediterranean Food in Raleigh, North Carolina?
OMG!!! I found this place back in April, and I love it! The food is so good! (especially the gyros and pastas) It’s a really friendly atmosphere too, so I don’t have to worry about dressing up or down. The best part is it tastes very authentic and doesn’t drain my wallet : )Pros + Food, Service, Decor, Music
I very much enjoy going to Greek Fiesta. My husband and I go a minimum of 3x a month. It’s affordable for what you get (can’t expect good cheap food… really), and for me I always get plenty. My favorite is the veggie platter and then add a lamb kabob. It never fails I take home enough for lunch the following day. Speaking as someone who has lost over 200lbs.. this is the perfect place for me to eat and not sit for 15 min trying to determine what I can or can’t have that would be healthy. Excluding the yummy baklava and other treats that my husband and daughter love, I can have everything else on the menu and never worry. The staff are always nice – even when I like to mix up my order and make things difficult (as my husband says I so often do). Greek Fiesta is a great, simplistic, walk in eatery. I recommend it to everyone I know.Pros + Best Dolmades, excellent seasoned grilled lamb kabobsCons – not one closer to me
This place is one of my staples. The food is delicious and their desserts are wonderful. It is more like a cafeteria-style restaurant where you walk up to the counter, order your food, pay for it, and bring it to the table yourself so if you are looking for a romantic spot or want to be waited on this is not the place. But otherwise this is definitely the place to go. I can’t say much about the service though. They try to get you in and out quickly and some of the servers behind the counter are nicer than others. However, considering that you only have to deal with them for literally 1-3 minutes and the food is so good, it isn’t an issue. hmm…maybe this is Raleigh’s “Soup Nazzi” equivalent! I go here regularly and at prime eating times it is hard to find an open seat. I always see families there. Good vegetarian options. They have sampler plates and the prices are reasonable. I have really liked everything I tried so far but their shawarma, so I wouldn’t recommend that partic
We stumbled upon this place by accidend on Saturday night and boy were we glad. Tiny and quiet with a sleek but quirky decor. The garlic mashed potatoes were the best I ever had. Very rich and flavorfull without being overpowering. The lamb stew was also wonderful, although just a tad oversalted. The pickled vegatables were a nice surprise. The scallop ceviche, served in a martini glass, was a creative mix (radishes in ceviche?) but somehow worked. Rib eye steak with a lemony sauce so good we wanted to lick the plate.The food has nothing to do with Tapas other than somewhat small portions. No, really guys. Tapas, to me, is its own genre of food. I like Tapas. I liked Zely & Ritz. But it does not serve anything I would call Tapas. If I had come in liiking for Tapas, I would have been dissapointed. The wine list seemed a little heavey on the Pinot Noire but has tons of fun stuff to choose from. I simply missed the dessert wines which are on my list for the nex
