Great good, location reminds me of NYC. I had the Mix Box (student favorite) which was pretty good and fresh. Chicken Pita was the other dish we tried which was also great. Limited parking is the only thing I didn’t like about the location.

I recently tried the shawarma at this small place in Raleigh, and it was fantastic! The flavors were authentic, the meat was tender, and the pita was perfectly soft. The staff was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. My only issue was the portion is not similar to what they put in their menu photos, which caused me some trouble when I ordered for 3 people. I'll definitely be going back for more though. Highly recommend! 🌯😋

I've been to the Mediterranean and had authentic shawarma, and hands down, believe THIS is the best ones I've ever had! Very flavorful and a hearty meal.

Best shawarma you will find in NC hands down. I have always been a chicken shawarma guy which was amazing but this beef shawarma is to die for. Everything was perfect just the perfect amount of spices, condiments, perfect bread texture. Well keep coming back!

It is located on Hillsborough street inside checkers pizza. Parking outside limited but parking lot in the back with plenty of spaces. It’s a hidden gem. We tried the Greek delight pizza aka the gyro pizza just giving heads up it’s a thin crusted piece. It had some tomato pieces on top, onion, gyro pieces could have been more but still fine. Ask for more gyro on pizza and comes with feta as third topping but did not want that on my pizza. We got the medium size. The pizza was okay. The the 2 gyro on pita were sliced gyros and sandwich was okay. A little more salad than what we were expecting but that is same what’s offered by others in the area as well. Would come again in the future for another try.

This afternoon, I felt hungry. So I grabbed my phone and searched for "Shawerma" the first word that came to mind. Shawerma stop showed up which is new to me. I haven't seen this place before. I hit the road right away...
The service was excellent, very warm and welcoming. Then came the food! Oh, the food!
This is now my favorite spot to get Shawerma amd Falafel in town.
If you want the authentic experience. Look no more!
I had a few bites before I remembered to take photos, nevermind that. :D

Found this place on accident by taking the wrong roundabout for work, but I am super happy I did make that wrong turn!

The man we talked with was kind and even gave us falafel to try to see if we liked it as well as a shawarma plate to try. My favorite thing to say is if there’s good people, then there’s good food! And the food is delicious.

We got the Mediterranean platter and the falafel platter and the shawarma plate to go.

I’m recommending this place to all my friends because it really is a hidden treasure and I wish more people knew about it!

This shawarma place has just opened! It’s located in the same building as Checkers pizza. First, the customer service was great, the man I spoke with couldn’t have been nicer. The meal wasn’t too expensive, and portion size is good.

I hadn’t had shawarma before, so I can’t speak to authenticity, but it was delicious! Perfectly cooked, and the meat plus sauce and pickles was a delightful flavor combo. I also got to try the rice which was exceptionally flavorful, the chicken kebab which was tasty as well. I was provided a few sauces to try and I would recommend them all!
For dessert I tried the baklava and I’ve gotta say it’s some of the best I’ve had in Raleigh.

This new spot is awesome and a great addition to the myriad of restaurants on Hillsborough street. Highly recommend checking it out!
