Middle Eastern Restaurants near Raleigh, NC

“Went for our anniversary tonight, it was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, the patio was gorgeous, and our server Tali was first class. She did a great job of taking care of us, and even noticed earlier in the night that I didn’t drink - so she brought out a non-alcoholic substitution when she served us surprise celebratory bubbly. My boyfriend and I, as amazing as the food was, agree that she was the best part of the whole experience. Thank you Tali!“

“My first experience with Yemeni food and boy it was unbelievable. I got the Lamb Haneed. Rice and 3 pieces of lamb. Cooked to perfection, it was prolly one of the best lamb dishes I ever had.
The bread, lamb and rice was a great combo. The saffron rice was very flavorful and cooked to perfection.

The only issue would be that For $30, They could have provided lil more meat.

Will be def back here for another meal. The 2 sisters at the counter were very friendly and welcoming.“

“Our first visit ever today while on the search for kunafa and Habibi did not disappoint. Every single thing we had was delicious; literally the best falafel I have ever eaten! The mandy rice with the mixed grill kebab was excellent and the kunafa was perfect. We'll be returning soon!“

“they are cool and the place so clean“

“Great food, great service!“

“I'll start with the good: The chicken bowl here is delicious and a lot better than the other location further down Hillsborough Street.

I don't know what it is about the customer service here, and in Raleigh on general to be honest. Whenever I ask about a menu item, the workers like to just point to the menu and tell me to read the ingredients, but what I'm really asking is for them to give me more information about what it is or how it's made, what they recommend, etc. I know how to read. I swear it's like people here don't understand customer service.“

“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.“

“Delicious indeed… I love their Chicken Shawrima it is the best!“
