I came here because of the surprise bag for TooGoodToGo. The plate I received was absolutely delicious. I’m surprised I have never tried here before. I saw they have a lunch buffet- I definitely want to try it soon!

Food was impeccable. Staff was great. The food was 2-3x better than when we went 2 years ago. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, no doubt. I wasn't sure of a Mediterranean buffet as Indian/English buffets are the only ones prominent in the area. But we went there on a friend's recommendation and without doubt, it was every penny worth it. Food - Regular/Cilantro Hummus, both were awesome. Grape leaf wrap was so fresh and satisfying. Salad was absolutely fresh. Lamb was cooked right infront of us, great meat, great spices...just wow! Chicken drumsticks - my kid loved it. Gyro - The best part of the buffet, don't know how many I ate. Chick pea on rice, chicken curry on rice, bean curry on rice.... excellent. Baklava, cup cake....awesome. Let me know if I need to add any more. Service - Amazing. Food being replenished without wait. Server/chef checking if you ok. Owner himself taking rounds. Ambience - Great seats, lots of space, all neat and clean. Location - Right at the edge of Morrisville and Durham. Perfect for folks in RTP and Cary/Morrisville. Lots of parking. Overall pretty great place for regular trips, very easy on your pocket and you meet some great folks.

You know that feeling when you get exactly what you wanted, and didn't even realize how bad you needed it? That is the chicken shawarma panini here! Cannot recommend enough

This place made my family so happy! My toddler especially couldn't get enough of the gyro meat with tzaziki and the baklava. Husband's favorites were the grape leaves and Greek salad. Mine were the curry chicken and lamb. We LOVE Mediterranean food, and we were excited with all the options. We've found our new favorite Mediterranean spot. The lunch buffet caught our eyes, and we all needed naps after we were done. Pictures show some of the selections and our half-eaten food since we forgot to take photos before we started, oops!

I have been here before and ordered the chicken kabob gyro and was blow away with how good it was. Today I returned for the lunch buffet and was just as impressed. All of the dips were phenomenal, the chicken was so juicy and flavorful, everything was impressive. I would choose Baba ghannouj over other local Mediterranean spots in a heartbeat. HIGHLY recommend.
