Middle Eastern Restaurants in Asheville, NC

“We have lived in Asheville for about 15 years and have been eating Suzy’s food since there was only a food truck. It’s nourishing, delicious, and always filling, not to mention very fairly priced! The ownership and staff are amazing and have always been welcoming to myself and all of my diverse groups of friends and family. We love Gypsy Queen!“

“So I’ve been avoiding this place thinking it was a chain , after many disappointing meals at Gypsy queen(used to love them they went down hill, and holy moly what a dirty kitchen) I decided to try Mr. Kabab, and I was not disappointed in the least bit. After talking with the owner you can tell he has a passion for his home food. He was a chef In the Middle East and everything is home made and hand made. Even his grape leaves take 10 hours to make. This is the best middle eastern food in town hands down… I wish he would change the storefront to better represent his quality of food. !!! Also the kitchen was very clean , which is a must for me .“

“We had the best meals and our service was great we can’t wait to come back!“

“Tucked back with colored picnic tables and lights away from the hustle and bustle. The food is great and so is the atmosphere. Amazing flavor and seasonings and even have desert options. The shawarma was amazing and my kid who doesn't eat anything had about 5 pitas! Sooo good. Will be going back again. Staff was excellent.“

“My wife and I are huge foodies and were looking for the perfect catering for our wedding. Well, this was it. The owners went out of their way to coordinate with us on our schedules for a tasting and logistics. Pricing was highly both transparent and reasonable. Everyone was helpful and responsive to our requests, adjustments, and needs (we had a number of dairy and/or gluten free as well as vegetarian guests), getting us our requested items as well as anticipating and suggesting additional ones that would fill out our options to make everyone feel comfortable. Oh, and lest we forget, the food was INCREDIBLE! The tebbouleh (probably botched that) and dolmas were favorites. The chicken shawarma and felafel were giving them a good run for the spot though. With an hour or so drive from asheville to our venue they were perfectly punctual and everyting arrived hot (or not as needed). All this would be more than enough but made exceptionally exceptional given they were simultaneosly working on final stages of opening another location! Head to toe an amazing restaurant run and staffed by wonderful people whose magnificent food and service made our special day something all the moreso. Cant recommend them enough.“
