Good food…TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! The lady who took my order was so rude (I was the only customer in at the time). It was my first time ever going into the restaurant, and I went because a friend told me about how good the food was there. To anyone who chooses to eat there, beware of the rude lady taking orders. I was definitely my first and last time there.

My wife and I went there for lunch on a Thursday so it was moderately busy with the lunch crowd. The food was overall pretty good except some of the food looked like it had been sitting out for a while and several things on the buffet were running low.
The main thing that was off putting for us was when I paid at the entrance, the cashier pointed to the tip jar and said “cash tip here”. I was caught off guard by this because yes that is obviously the tip jar and I thought it was strange that she was telling me this. I paused for a moment and she repeated “cash tip here” and pointed at the tip jar again. I normally leave a tip on the receipt but she never gave me the receipt and just kept pointing to the tip jar. Luckily I had some cash on me so I put it in the tip jar but it made me feel pressured and very uncomfortable. After we sat down we noticed the cashier was doing the same thing to everyone else. I could see many of the customers looked uncomfortable as I did. It wasn’t a great feeling to start the meal. I’m not sure what would have happened if I didn’t leave a cash tip. I’m sure she saw I had cash in my wallet when I paid which is another reason I felt really awkward. It felt like she saw the cash in my wallet and was asking for it.
As sad as it is to say, this was enough to make both my wife and I not want to go there again. And to top it off, I felt like she didn’t even earn the tip we left (the cashier was also cleaning tables). I left $5 and all she did was clean up our plates at the end of the meal which took less than 1 minute.
A word of advice for anyone going there, take a little bit of cash with you and just throw it in the tip jar to bypass the awkwardness.

I cannot speak to the atmosphere as I have to dine in at this fine establishment. But I can tell you that- while the food was exceedingly delicious- it was the service we received that knocked my socks off. Kaid went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect with my catering order for our offices lunch. When I ran out of food, he rushed more out to my office. Great service, phenomenal food (the chicken shawarma, grilled veggies, everything was amazing. And that garlic sauce should be illegal!). Baba Ghannouj- You’ve got a new customer for life!

This place came as a recommendation from one of my nurses at Duke Hospital. I was in search of authentic Mediterranean food. She stated that this place was unique because they have a buffet style lunch. Unfortunately, I haven't made it for the buffet yet. However, I did pop in tonight to order some food. The man who took my order was super friendly, even offering a water while I waited. The guy who brought me my order was also very friendly, and answered all of my questions about the lunch buffet graciously. The restaurant was quiet, calm, and inviting. The food..... so, so, so good. I will be recommending this place to everyone!!

I ordered the double shawarma wrap with fries and a salad. The wrap arrived soggy and cold and kept slipping apart when I tried to pick it up. Less than half a cup of garlic sauce for everything which should’ve been two cups for double wraps. The fries were hard and old and had no flavor or salt. They threw the ketchup packets on top of the food which is not clean. The salad was brown and old and placed on top of the hot food so the salad was warm and other food cold. Mostly onion and lettuce and hardly any dressing or pita chips. I found about a tsp of tomato. No napkins, forks or spoons to eat with. I threw most of it away and wasted my $$$ paid to Door Dash. Honestly the worst shawarma and salad I’ve ever eaten in my life and I’m out dinner plus $21. Disappointing.

Excellent food, no doubt. I wasn't sure of a Mediterranean buffet as Indian/English buffets are the only ones prominent in the area. But we went there on a friend's recommendation and without doubt, it was every penny worth it. Food - Regular/Cilantro Hummus, both were awesome. Grape leaf wrap was so fresh and satisfying. Salad was absolutely fresh. Lamb was cooked right infront of us, great meat, great spices...just wow! Chicken drumsticks - my kid loved it. Gyro - The best part of the buffet, don't know how many I ate. Chick pea on rice, chicken curry on rice, bean curry on rice.... excellent. Baklava, cup cake....awesome. Let me know if I need to add any more.
Service - Amazing. Food being replenished without wait. Server/chef checking if you ok. Owner himself taking rounds.
Ambience - Great seats, lots of space, all neat and clean.
Location - Right at the edge of Morrisville and Durham. Perfect for folks in RTP and Cary/Morrisville. Lots of parking.
Overall pretty great place for regular trips, very easy on your pocket and you meet some great folks.
After being disappointed by the jerk next door, I found this place and it quickly became one of my favorites, instantly. Wonderful lunch buffet!

Terrible service for take-out. The cashier was rude, repeatedly tried to pressure me into leaving a tip in cash (for take-out) instead of via card, and my order came out incorrectly.
