“I am in town and really wanted to eat healthy. This place was close and the young man who wanted on me was very helpful. I told him I had never been there before so he explained all my options. The proportions were reasonable, but probably for a grown man it might not be enough. I actually didn’t put any protein on my bowl because I’m a vegetarian so this was a great option for me. The flavor was wonderful. I think it was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had in a long time. They could keep the bar a little more cleaned up and the avocado was bad so I asked him to give me a fresh avocado which she did without any complaints . I will go back here and eat, and I think the prices are reasonable as well. Just needs a little your observation to the details around the restaurant. Keeping everything fresh is really important us to setting like this. I love it!“

“The food was excellent, the staff was friendly, and it’s reasonably priced. Highly recommend!“

“Love their shawerma/yeeros, soo delicious reminds me of back home. Store atmosphere and staff are excellent, highly recommend!“

“I was so disappointed with my meal as I had been looking forward to trying their spanakopita which came with a Greek salad. The salad was very good but the spanakopita was terrible. It was so dry that I couldn't cut it with a table knife! I've had this dish at other places and this is the worst I have had--order with caution!“

“We enjoyed our evening at Parizade. We entered from the convenient parking deck and were greeted warmly by servers and support staff as we approached the host desk in the front. My wife and I dined on the front patio with our dog, and the cool weather was perfect. Our server was Katya, who said she was fairly new to Parizade. She was laid-back, confident, and prepared. We began with a glass of Cava, and a scotch-based crafted cocktail. The burrata was surrounded by prosciutto, cantaloupe, baby arugula, and aged balsamic. We shared the marinated lamb chops served over creamy polenta. Sliced eggplant and sweet peppers marinated in sherry vinegar were placed by the lamb. The subtle vinegar was a pleasant surprise. Grated Pecorino Romano tied the dish together. We also shared the new Mezze Rigatoni with house made Italian sausage. This pasta included sautéed onions, roasted red peppers, chili flakes, spinach, and fresh herbs. The ingredients were distinctly identifiable--both visually and by taste. Parmesan generously tops this pasta. We finished our dinner with a peach cobbler immersed in cheesecake. Our evening was enhanced by seeing familiar faces, and visiting with other guests in the dining room and courtyard. This is a warm and cheerful environment, and we are grateful Parizade is here for us in Durham.“

“Wonderful food. Good portions.“

“My family and I have been customers for almost 20 years and have been treated more like friends by Emad and his dad every time we visit the restaurant. Our go-to is the Philly Chicken sub, although the full menu is great we have our favorite and it has been consistently delicious even over the years. Best in town!“

“Good food, but a bit pricey for being cafeteria style. Loved my chicken kabobs and the cilantro sauce is amazing.“

“This is due to the owner not paying for the services rendered, this service was conducted on Wednesday 6/22/22. I have made several calls with Owner & family aswell, no communication what so ever.This is clearly not wanting to pay for the service. This post will stay up until payment is in full. Furthermore, all services will be discontinued due to not paying as promised.“

“I had been wanting try Saladelia, and I finally got the chance. I got the chicken salad sandwich melt. It was so delicious! I also got the basil pasta which I also enjoyed. The serving size is great for the price. I’ll definitely be dining there again ?“

“The food is ample reason to frequent Saladelia. But now that their new location is so beautifully landscaped there is even more reason to frequent Saladelia. Not only is the outside dining area bordered by planters with a variety of lovely, interesting plants but the area adjacent to the parking lot is also attractively landscaped. Thank you Saladelia for providing your customers with such delightful surroundings! Susan June24, 2023“

“Great food options, fresh baked goods, and coffee. Hours suck a bit (they close early) and staff has definitely declined over past years. They take their time during rush morning and lunch hours and often mess up orders. Miss the good old days when Chris and Mark worked there!“
