Lebanese Restaurants near Raleigh, NC

“As always, everything that I have gotten at Aladdins has been fresh and deliscious. They have always had the best iced tea until a few evenings ago. Pick up a togo order and 2 teas. The tea had an very off taste to it like it was old tea. While I have had that in may restaurants, mostly fast food places, not once has it happened at Aladdins. Always the best.“

“Perfect 😍 Food and service are excellent. The staff is friendly. Pretty and clean environment. Wish they had one of these in my city but will definitely visit when I'm here!“

“The veggie lasagna is pretty good. I loved the ingredients. I tried a lady finger for the first time…scrumpdiddlyumptious!“

“The menu at Sitti boasts a delightful array of traditional Lebanese dishes, each crafted with care and expertise. From savory appetizers like the creamy hummus and falafel to the mouthwatering kebabs and flavorful shawarma, every bite was a celebration of rich flavors and culinary finesse. The ingredients used were fresh and of the highest quality, and it was evident that the chefs take great pride in presenting the essence of Lebanese cuisine to their patrons. One standout dish that stole my heart was the Lebanese-style lamb chops, which were perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. The tender and juicy meat combined with aromatic spices left me craving for more. Additionally, the vegetarian options were equally impressive, catering to all dietary preferences without compromising on taste or authenticity. What sets Sitti apart from other restaurants is its dedication to providing an exceptional dining experience. The staff at Sitti was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of our visit was enjoyable. Their genuine passion for Lebanese cuisine and culture shone through, adding to the overall charm of the dining experience.“

“We booked Neomonde to cater our wedding reception. From the very beginning, Neomonde made us feel welcome and valued. Saida was generous during the initial meeting and let us try many different options for food. We especially loved the Pomegranate Salad, Chicken Kabobs, and Mjadarah. At times, it was difficult to get in contact with the catering team, and there were some miscommunications during the contract process on what was included and what was not included. We were originally under the impression that plates, dinnerware, napkins, drinks, and cups would all be provided by Neomonde, but this was missed during the contract process. This resulted in a surprise during our wedding reception when our day-of-coordinator realized we didn’t have dinner plates or dinnerware. Neomonde was very adaptable though, and sent someone to bring plates and dinnerware immediately. Neomonde ended up bringing a third team member free of charge, but we didn’t have enough tips for a third server, and would have liked to know beforehand. The service through the entire wedding reception was stellar, and everyone thought the food was delicious! Our drinks were kept stocked throughout the whole event, cake was cut and served efficiently, and tables were cleared and taken care of. They boxed up all of the remaining food for our friends and family to take home, and cleaned the kitchen. We love Neomonde, and were ultimately very happy with the food!“

“Food was good, although temperature was a bit too cold. They were closing in a half hour and didn't have gyro on roller. Gyro was already cut they weren't keeping it hot enough within the steam table.....thus loosing a star. Baklava was good but used to be better. It used to be my favorite baklava anywhere. I believe they used to get it from Chapel Hill if I remember correctly. Been hitting both Hillsborough locations for many years when in Raleigh.“

“Wonderful caterer/bartender! Highly recommend for weddings!!! ❤️“

“We catered three dinners for a group of about 70 and chose this restaurant specifically because part of our group required halal food. Overall, the food was a hit — the salads were generous and delicious, the hummus and tzatziki were enjoyable, and the pita, rice, and cookies were all well portioned. The one area we'd love to see improvement is the protein portions. Every dinner was a bit light on protein for a group our size. After the first night we called to request more and they brought it promptly, which we appreciated — though we were charged for the addition. Before our next delivery, someone did reach out by email to ask if I wanted to increase my order, which was a nice touch. However, the whole order didn't need to be increased — everything else was sufficient — it was really just the protein that needed adjusting, so I didn't respond. Unfortunately the protein portions remained the same for the remaining dinners. On one occasion we also ordered mixed chicken and steak kabobs and received quite a bit more chicken than steak. When I reached out, I was told people generally eat more chicken — but with a mixed order for a large group, we expected a more even balance. The food itself is really good and the staff was responsive. We just hope to see the protein portions better matched to group size in the future.“
