“Either Mally is a culinary genius or Iranian food is what I’ve been craving all my life. (Or both!) Everything she makes is intensely flavorful, thoroughly nutritious, and warms the soul. Her hole-in-the-wall location has zero ambiance and really isn’t an eat-in venue, but Mally herself has a gracious & welcoming presence as she chitchats & prepares these delights. I’ve lived all over the world and enjoyed many cuisines; these are unique and among my favorites.Parking: Small parking lot“
“The only thing better than the bright, sunny atmosphere here is the incredible food. It’s real, nutritious, and so amazingly delicious. You can never leave The Refectory feeling anything but incredible! The food feels nourishing in a way that many restaurants are incapable of achieving but The Refectory makes it happen. I would recommend The Refectory to anyone because it meets all diets and needs without sacrificing amazing taste!“
“Food was great and the ingredients tasted fresh, but the guy who made my sandwich literally smothered my sandwich in mayo. I'm talking outside the wrapper, lined on the inside, and on the bread itself. Plus he didn't even call my name when giving me the order ?“
“I visited the restaurant with a friend today for the first time. We didn't have to wait for a long time for the food to arrive after we placed the order. The food was very fresh and tasted great! Also, everything on the menu was very reasonably priced. I will most definitely go back with my family.“
“We ate there after a doctor appointment. I really wanted Chinese food. What a fantastic surprise to find this wonderful little res!the food was freshly prepared to order, hot and delicious! Service was excellent. According to the owner it been there for 17 years! If you haven’t been you need to go! We live about 30 miles away but when we go back to The doctor in Chapel Hillwe will definitely visit again!“
“A lady name Trinity was very helpful to my son and I. My son began to throw a tantrum while I was trying to order. The other employees gave me rude and judgmental looks but Trinity was patient with me and provided me a helping hand. My salad was very good and she reassured me continuously that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Thank You Ms. Trinity“
