There aren't enough stars for the ubiquitous flavors contained in this Veggie Platter. This place absolutely nailed what they do. I had the Falafel, Tabouli, Baba Ganoush, Grape Leaves. Every bite was different fresh flavored experience. I travel a ton and love Mediterranean Food and this place is in the top % of great!Thanks Guys.

This is a great grab and go spot for when you're in the mood for something other than the typical fast food fare.I order the falafel sandwich. It's way more than I expected, loaded falafel that's crispy on the outside and toothsome on the inside, tomatoes, tahini, pickles and lettuce. My only complaint is it came with only three pieces of falafel.My wife ordered the lamb gyro. It's modest for the price, but certainly not small. The meat was flavorful not just salty. The vegetables were fresh and the tzatziki was great.The menu is varied enough that everyone in your group can find something to order. Seating inside is non-existent, just a small bar, so be prepared.

Service was fast and efficient. The guy gave me a cup of warm water from the back which was nice. Also got the food really fast which was a plus. The food quality is a little lacking, the meat is a little dry and flavorless. The grape leaves were okay but I've had better. Which is why I knocked off one star. But the sauce was good and the toppings were fresh. The price is really good though and you can't beat getting a lunch with a side at this price.

Glad they were open on a rainy day when so many places weren't. Service and food were both awesome!

What a great place in the downtown area to get a meal at. The food was so good. The service was great and the prices were very reasonable.
Great food and service. Friendly people. The price was great also. If you are downtown this is the place you need to go. Best food in town.

This Palestinian owner has the touch!!! Everything is fresh! Best Tabouli!!! Authentic! None of this replacing bulgur wheat with quinoa crap. This is authentic. I love their kabobs! Kafka is my fav! So delicious. And the babaganoush... it's amazing. Make sure they don't put that spicy pepper sauce on it. They see me and assume I want it because I present Indian. I am by heritage but I am a meat and potatoes Indiana girl. So spice is NOT my thing. Their Baba is out of this world!!! I have had their Gyro and it is amazing too. But when the Kafta kabob is this good and the abba and tabouli... why get anything else? They are also very sweet and kind service! Please stop by for lunch. They only open 11-3pm Mon-Sat. And it is worth getting it. I have ordered in bulk for party before too! I have taken my work tram there to eat as well. For a quick lunch place, and the kiosk style ordering and no place to sit place... it is the best middle eastern in Raleigh in my book. Please come say hello and order some food! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Review is based on takeout. Shish kabob is located in the food court area right outside of Marriot hotel and is walking distance from Raleigh convention Center. Ordering lunch through Grubhub was easy. Pickup was smooth/quick during the lunch rush and service was friendly. There are outdoor tables. I enjoyed the falafel salad for lunch. The falafel had good flavor and just the right texture.

I thought this place was great!It's located in a small outdoor shopping center and has great outdoor seating. It's a great location for a group or several people as there are several take-out options within the same courtyard space.The interior is a small space with a walk-up counter to order (there is no interior seating). I was in town for a conference and the place was pretty busy for lunch, but the staff was very efficient and it didn't take more than 10 minutes for me to receive my order.The menu was pretty extensive, although I ended up just ordering the lamb gyro (they also had a chicken gyro). Food was delicious, my gyro was over-stuffed and requires a fork to help me eat it, and the price was very fair.I would definitely come back here again and possibly try the shish-kabobs.
