    Always wanted an Apartment with a rooftop Terrace and I might be getting one tonight: Chickpeas, Chickpeas and More Chickpeas and some Cabbage.... four sides of Tabouleh!  Did I really eat five plates at this Buffet, not like Warren, no!  Like all-you-can-eat Mediterranean Buffet

    Mediterranean Buffet...where are my manners?  Checked at the parking lot? Probably!!!

    The food was great! We had the buffet yesterday, and we enjoyed the chicken kabobs, hummus, pita, grape leaves and falafel. We would have liked to see more variety, but what they offered was delicious.

    The place was very quiet, and the service was almost non-existent. We didn't see any employees after we placed our order. The plates and flatware were disposable; not good environmentally, but at least we didn't need help taking care of our table.

    Don't let the outside of his place fool you. I found it in a beat up shopping center after I Yelped restaurants.  Since I wanted something different and it had four stars I thought if give it a shot.
    It's a very plain jane Mediterranean buffet eatery. Nothing special about the outside or the inside but the food was delicious. I first ordered the Gyro platter but the owner talked me into the all-you-can-eat buffet which was $12 for an adult.
    There is always Gyro meat, Curry Chicken and two other dishes that I can't remember and he rotates the other hot dishes.  The eggplant was mouthwatering, I did go back a few times for that.
    There is also a cold buffet with cucumber and Greek salad, fresh hummus and sauces plus a few desserts. Let's not forget about the grape leaves. I love those.
    You can either eat in or take out and there are many selections if you don't want to do the buffet.
    It's definitely worth trying!

    In a sea of RTP lunch options it's easy to get lost. My friend and I met here and but got by-weight meals instead of the buffet, and I found the food to be delicious and very reasonable. Very authentic and delicious. Highly recommend a visit.

    Let me start with the service: horrible!
    I made the order and made it clear to the cashier/cook/server :)  that it is a dine in. After a long wait, I saw him calling me to come get the plates! I think it would be best to take out the tips off your receipts if you want us to do the work!

    Fattoush is not really a fattoush, far away from it! It did not taste good at all, so I left it as is.

    Falafel sandwich was okay, but not done right. The bread is what made it okay. The falafel was not done on the inside.

    Shawarma sandwich was much better than anything else. I would come back for it. The bread was exceptionally tasty! Maybe the best I have ate in North Carolina. Hence the 3 stars :)
