Nazareth Bread Co & Restaurant – A Hidden Middle Eastern Gem in Greensboro! Had an amazing dinner here with my family. We ordered Chicken Shawarma, Mixed Grill, Falafel, Rice, Greek Salad, Baba Ghanoush, and Hummus — every single dish was perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. The charcoal aroma from the grill, the creamy hummus, and that smoky Baba Ghanoush made the whole meal feel like a delicious journey across the Middle East. 🌍 The service was friendly, the portions generous, and the atmosphere cozy yet cheerful. Definitely one of the best spots for authentic Middle Eastern food in Greensboro!

The food was incredible and the people were so nice. I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed it. Plus it’s connected to this cafe where they sell a stunning pistachio latte. Already planning my return.

Nazareth Bread Company is truly one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in Greensboro! The food is always perfect — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned every single time. You can really taste the care and authenticity in every dish. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. Omar always makes sure everything is perfect and that guests have an amazing experience. His kindness and attention to detail truly make every visit special. If you’re looking for delicious Middle Eastern food with excellent service and a warm atmosphere, Nazareth Bread Company is the place to go. I highly recommend it to everyone — you’ll love it as much as we did!

Very good middle eastern eatery. Figured I'd try a staple and went with the shawarma pita sandwich with fries and drink. Sandwich was huge. Pita was soft and fresh. Seemed almost pillowy. Meat was generous but had a little more pieces of grissle than I liked. Seasoning and sauces were very tasty. Overall, this place was a great value and the flavors were very good. I'd definitely go back and explore the menu more.

Atmosphere was good indeed. But the food tasted like something totally tasteless. The chicken chops I got were not properly cooked and had a unpleasant smell. I would not recommend this restaurant for a meal.

They are not messing around with the options and tastiness of the food! Tried the chicken chops plate and areyas and both were excellent. Took home extras! Friendly staff and you can watch the robotic shawarma machine 🤣 Of note - this is an older building and there is a slight upcharge for using credit over cash. Parking can be a little cramped if they are busy.

I recently dined at Nazareth Bread Co and Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by their offerings. I decided to try their daily special, which featured Rice with Salmon, Chicken Kabob, and hummus. The portion size was quite generous, making it a challenge to finish for one person, but every bite was worth it. In addition to the daily special, I couldn't resist trying the lamb chops on the side. They were exceptionally delicious, cooked to perfection with a great balance of flavors. Overall, my experience at Nazareth Bread Co and Restaurant was fantastic. The food quality, portion sizes, and flavors were all top-notch. I definitely plan to return to enjoy more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommended!

Another slam dunk at Nazareth Bread. The kebobs are always juicy and perfectly seasoned, the salad was crisp and refreshing, and the tabouli was light and lemony. As per usual, the service is fast, friendly, and always great portion sizes with a more than fair price. Always ample seating. Hands down the best middle eastern food in Gboro.

I wanted Mediterranean food. We were traveling and found this place during one of our stops. The inside....is R O U G H. Absolutely filthy. The furniture had gigantic rips in it, the floor was filthy, but the worst part...the bathroom. Who needs to pay for a haunted house maze when you can simply go to the bathroom? The bathroom....was scary. Let's talk about the food: I loved all of it. The chicken kebabs were perfectly seasoned. The rice was great, the tabouli salad was good too. Hummus was okay, a bit acidic. I'd go back if in the area, but I'd rather eat in my car.

It's like a big cafeteria - different but decent dining experience. Continuing the tour of Greensboro restaurants with good ratings based on yelp and Google. It's a huge place. Place your order by the register and wait for them to bring the meal. Shawarma was decent but a bit on the greasy side. Fried fish sandwich was great - my dad is picky but he liked it. Mixed grill - It was a bit on the dry side but with the sauce it's better. Lamb chop platter - I think it was the best of all. Highl recommend- I think I will just have that next time.

It's always a good day when you get to Nazareth Bread Co! I had the most delicious lunch that filled me up and I had plenty to go for dinner later! Food came out quickly in a lunch rush which was really nice too. The spinach pie was one of the best I've ever had - I'm craving it again today!

Nazareth has been a Greensboro staple for years, and it's easy to see why. The food is well made and flavorful. The building shows its age. There were a couple buckets on the floor catching ceiling leaks during my visit, and the bathroom could definitely use more attention, but if you can look past the atmosphere, you'll be rewarded. Even with the dated space, the staff's smiles and great energy shine through. I had the beef and lamb shawarma sandwich, and the flavor of the meat was excellent. The lamb was just slightly overcooked, but still tasty and satisfying. The real surprise star? The purple cabbage inside: tangy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I'd come back just for a side of that alone. I also got the 4-piece falafel as a side, and they were outstanding. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. Easily some of the best falafel I've had in town. Nazareth might not win awards for decor, but the kitchen more than makes up for it. If you're after authentic, flavorful Mediterranean food and don't mind a no-frills setting or take out, this spot is worth a visit.

This was my first visit. I read lots of reviews which helped me to know what sides I wanted to get. My platter was $16 - it came with three sides and pita!! So much food! A great value! I got the lamb platter with rice, purple slaw and falafel. The seasoning of the entree was a little too strong curry wise for me to finish it all. I would try something else next or just ask for less seasoning possibly next time. I am new to trying this type of food so I am open to trying and learning a lot. My sides were excellent. The pita was the best I've had for real! The food took maybe ten minutes to come out. They weren't busy when I got there - 12:30 on a Saturday but got packed soon after I arrived. I would encourage you to back in to your parking space (I didn't) it was chaotic in the lot. I will be back for sure there is a large selection and the value was awesome.

The food here was absolutely delicious. I would come back for the stuffed grape leaves and spinach pastry alone, they were fantastic. The food comes out pretty quickly, and I like the selection of bottled drinks as well. The restaurant also has a QR code to aid Gaza near the register which I think is so important and lets me know I am spending my money at a good business in town.

Just go already. And bring your biggest appetite with you! I've been 2 days in a row. Each time, my plate was PILED with goodness! I've actually secretly been here 3 times and tried the burger the first time lol it was really good but Ofcourse you should try their signature dishes! I had the chicken Shawarma on my second visit where you get to choose three sides. The sides I chose were hummus, Greek salad and rice. Pita is already included so you don't have to order that. The hummus felt like the star of the show because it was the best hummus I've ever tried. However, everything together was absolutely amazing. The dressing on the salad is like none I've ever tried before. On my third visit, I tried the lamb chops with Greek salad, the world's famous hummus, and falafel. This was my first time having falafel and I'm glad I tried it. There is a huge dining area so the will be a plethora of seating, even if you have a large party. Service is fast and the food is fresh! They actually cook the food right in front of you. I will be back soon and very soon!

I went here many times while living in Greensboro and it was always delicious. They also have a little market inside and there is so much seating options inside and out. Truly, some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in NC.

They never disappoint! A no frills low maintenance restaurant with absolutely amazing food. This time we ordered the falafel plate with hummus and rice and the alexander kabob chicken platter with the spinach roll. There portion sizes as always were amazing and the 3 were stuffed with just 2 plate orders. Their service was super quick and efficient and the flavors were on point. However we did not like the alexandar kabab since ut had a sweet tamato flavor. Will be back here soon to try more stuff!

I got take out of the chicken platter. I got double purple slaw as 2 of my sides and rice. It's so good. The food is plentiful. The pita is so soft and there's a lot of it. I will be back for sure.

This place is always top notch. They have amazing food. Their burgers are super delish. Cannot beat a flattop burger. The service is always great!

Food was OK... my lamb was basically charcoal, but the salad was good. Restaurant was clean, and service was friendly, but very slow. Waited almost 30 mins for our meals.

Okay so let's just say I'm obsessed. I recently visited here with a friend and have ordered it twice since then. All within a few weeks. Their falafel is AMAZING. And on a falafel platter you get 7-8 pieces. The hummus? Omg mouthwateringly delish. The baba ghanoush? Garlicky eggplant goodness. The cucumber sauce? Drown me in it please. The chicken kabob was juicy and flavorful beyond belief. The small house salad is the farthest thing from small and does NOT have olives thank goodness. And the dressing is AMAZING!!!! I wanna eat from here every night for the rest of my life no exaggeration.

It may have been an off day but it was packed and I was really excited to try another halal establishment. My friends are from Kuwait and having lived in the gulf, we know Arabic cuisine very well. The food was mediocre at best today. I had a mushroom burger. It had canned mushrooms and was so soggy that I tossed the bread. The lettuce and tomato were fresh but I suspect they were wet. My friend got the kofta and she said it was spongy. She did like the hummus. The tabbouleh was a salad with similarities to the real thing but contained large búlgar and cucumbers which isn't part of the dish Would I go back? Not sure. I will say that the lady selling handmade Mexican bags and trinkets outside was a delight. She's there on the weekend and trying to sell authentic Mexican gifts. She was super friendly and very proud of her products. I had to buy a change purse because they were so beautiful. I will try the restaurant again another time. Be warned that parking is limited and it is a hike to get to the restrooms. May be a problem for disabled patrons. The floor is old tiling and can be slippery. Wear some non skid shoes to be safe because there was some spilled drinks and food randomly on the floor that someone can trip over. The entire menu is halal and orders are cooked fresh to order. It was super busy when we went and that could be why the food wasn't as enjoyable and thrown on the plate with no care. I did not go in the adjoining market this time but will next time in town. Mushroom burger 1/5 Kofta 2-5/5 Hummus 2.5/5 Tabbouleh 2/5 lost points because is not authentic Cleanliness 2.5/5 Disability friendly 2.5/5 Lady selling Mexican trinkets outside 10/10

Inside the restaurant is very clean and clear with lots of table seating and has a spacious feel. The people who work there are very helpful and kind. I love every interaction that I've had the two times that I've been. There's a huge selection of things on their menu. Their beef Shawarma is delicious well seasoned and it is enough for three meals. They are tabouli tastes fresh and delicious and I also loved the pita bread which is homemade and tastes amazing!

Nazareth Bread is a great place to grab a delicious meal in Greensboro. We went to last nights Ramadan buffet and WOW was it delicious! The menu featured Pot Roast, Shawarma, Garlic and Lemon Chicken to name a few items. All were delicious and I definitely left stuffed. The menu is just as delicious every other day of the year. I recommend either a Shawarma platter or a sandwich. Be sure to save room for dessert as the Baklava is amazing! The service was excellent and the employees are always friendly. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants an authentic Middle Eastern experience, and enjoys delicious food.

Let me preface this review by saying the two stars are NOT because of their food. Nazareth Bread has FIVE STAR food. I mean it is deeeelicious! However, my first experience there almost caused me not even to try their food. Here's the tea: I ordered falafel, spinach pie (their version looks like an egg roll), and a vegan sandwich. OMG, every bite was phenomenal. I am drooling just thinking about the food. The flavors, the sauces, the freshness. Oh, my!!!! There was this one...um...thing, though. After I placed my order, I asked to go to the restroom. I wish I had not done that. I proceed down this long, dingy hallway and notice the walls are actually dirty. Like legit dirty hand smudges around the doors, the staff come and go out of. I try to stay calm. I reach the end of the hallway, find the restroom and boom. NIGHTMARE. It's disgusting. Two out of the four stalls are out of operation. It's dark and not well-kept. I panic, not knowing what to do since I am disabled and need to use the facilities. I go into "I am everyone woman mode," get soap and water, wash what I need, double wash my hands, and hightale it out of there. I am FREAKED OUT. As I returned to walk down that dingy hall, I realized that the staff using those same gross facilities also cooked my food. OH NO!!! I am a woman of faith and a firm believer in not judging people, so I try not to let my anxiety take over, and I sit in the dining room and begin to pray. As I was sitting, I began to look around and noticed that NONE of the facilities seemed well-kept. The tables are not cleaned, the booths are cracking and unkept, and so much seems disheveled. Had I let the Yelp! Review and allure of this place blind me? What to do? My ticket gets brought to me with a smile as I ponder, and I am startled. I sit there, pray over my take-out order, and open the boxes. The food looks and smells, again, delicious. I make a bold decision to try the food. As I leave, a line of customers is almost out the door (it's around 5ish now). I asked a few customers how they liked the food. Everyone raves; some say they've been coming for years. That gives me some hope I will not suffer a fate like food poisoning. Regardless, I can not shake the visions of the hall, doors, and bathroom. I hurried along, and the customers were correct. When I got home to eat my meal, everything was scrumptious. However, I haven't gone back because, well, those visions. I hope the owners of the establishment read this review and do something about their facilities because there are people like me who will not be returning, regardless of how good the food is, if cooked in what I feel are unsanitary conditions.

Been eating here for over ten years and can't believe I have never reviewed this beautiful gem of a hole in the wall. I highly suggest ignoring any comments like the one from the tourist from Virginia who has only been in one time and has clearly led a very sheltered life. Nazzy might be a bit dated, yes, there's a bit of a weird maze to get to the bathroom, yes, there's rips in some of the booths -- because they've been worn down with all the love and the butts of the hordes of folks who flock here for the delicious food and the wonderful people behind the food. You would not understand if you just happened to stop in one time from out of town. As plenty of other reviewers have noted it is very clean despite how old the interior is, and the folks here care about their customers and community, both in Greensboro and globally. Not to mention, as also noted plenty of times before -- the food is absolutely banging and has been consistently for a long, long time now. We are truly lucky to have Nazareth and the Fig & Olive cafe, go check it out for yourself instead of listening to out of touch whiners on Yelp ;)

The chicken pita was so tasty that it didn't make it home. I ate it in the car. The bread was so fresh. I can't wait to try other options.

I got the chicken gyro and it was just okay. It lacked flavor and was on the dry side. The fries were delicious though, so crispy. Service was pretty slow. There was only one register. The ambience is low key and no frills. Overall, it was an average experience. I've had much better Mediterranean food!

I absolutely love this place. The fresh pita!! The smell of the open grill when you walk in! The portions are very generous! Delicious, and authentic. Don't let the decor or inside area, scare you away. This place is awesome ! A+++

I've been coming to this place for a couple of years with my better half. We stumbled onto this place by chance. The food is fuggin amazing!!!! the portions are huge for the price. There are plenty of vegetarian options and of course amazing meat options. The lamb chops are so good. You wouldn't even know it was lamb. Grilled to perfection and has no wild taste. The only place I'll eat Lamb During our recent trip, we noticed they started upgrading the outside and will be adding a bakery coffee shop attached to it. Service is always friendly. The place looks a little sketchy and could use upgrades with the seating inside... however, I'd sit on a bucket just to eat a good meal in this here! I'm super excited for them and all the upgrades.

The staff was very helpful describing items I was not familiar with and giving suggestions! Unfortunately, they didn't have decaf options nor skim milk but the pastry items looked and tasted amazing! I also walked to the adjoining restaurant and had the chicken gyro. They make their own bakery products on site, which means the pita was fresh and it was delicious! I told the cashier I was allergic to something to leave it off and they then asked additional questions to make sure the item was safe for me...don't always get that service and it was much appreciated!

It's a go to place for us when we're lazy cooking for the day. But we're liking it less. The place is getting dirtier. People are nice though.

This was really tasty. I had the season beef pita and it was really tasty. Somebody in my party said they didn't like the lamb kebab and felt it was under seasoned. The chicken pito was also really good. It's great for a group and has tons of space. The service is quick and only took 10 minutes to get our food.

This place is still a staple for me. Been going here for years, and will continue to go here for many more years. Even though there is a lot of excellent competition for the best tasting Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food in the area, Nazareth is always going to be an appealing option. The food, still delicious. Maybe not the top of the top anymore, but there are certain things that I try now and again that still make me go WOW! I still could eat their very interesting purple cole slaw everyday, and in most cases, I leave with a pint of it to keep in the fridge. The adana kebab and the andalusian platter are always favorites. Still, make sure you check out the specials menu on the way in! What I did finally get to do this year, is swing in for their Ramadan AYCE eat buffet... and holy smokes, that is a treat! So many interesting foods that you may not see at other times of the year, and this is really a chance to try the full gamut. Always be sure and look up when this is taking place, you do not want to miss this meal! Yes... i hear the complaints that the restaurant is a little dingy. The truth is, that building is very old, and has been many things before it became Nazareth including a gym. There is nothing to fear as far as food cleanliness and sanitation, and you can always get their food to go. It's more important to me personally that every meal is delicious, plentiful, and friendly! In short, still one of the great Greensboro places to eat. Try it. You will not regret it.

Every ramadan Nazareth always organize 'Iftar Buffet' so many variety of the food with affordable price and they are delicious. Other than this they have coffee shop just recently open. Delicious food, friendly staff thats all I am looking for.

Food, customer service, cookies, shawarma, chicken, steak is all delicious! Plenty of room to sit!

I love everything about this place. It's a local favorite for a lot of people. The food is made fresh. It was delicious. The ambience was giving dining hall but it was clean. Absolutely recommend this place for lunch. You can also get it to go. They are very friendly The service was good.

The food here reminds me of authentic to street food style cuisine. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is relaxed. Finding a clean table was difficult, but I was there. Little after the lunch rush so maybe that's not common.

BEST RESTAURANT IN GREENSBORO!!! Highly recommend giving this place a try I GAURENTEE you will love it. Also you should try some coffee and get some dessert next door!

My favorite restaurant! If you are looking for the most impressive building don't go (or have a friend pick up for you); BUT if you want great food, prepared fresh on site and piled high on the plate-and good prices...then you are in for a real treat!

The food was tasty but the restaurant is old, warn out, the vinyl on the seats is cracked and uncomfortable. The service was lackluster and the lighting is poor. The restroom was such that it is better to go before arriving there. The food is good but not great - and that is the only redeeming feature

Greensboro wins on the Mediterranean food. Nazareth should be a national treasure, truthfully. Portions: huge. Amazing. I get 2 meals out of a platter easily. Flavors: authentic & incredible. Every meal we've had here has been fantastic. My favorite is the chicken gyro platter - with a side of rice and topped with their tzatziki, mmmm. Not a lamb fan personally but my husband raves about the shawarma - Alexander to be exact. We drive from Winston for this. It is worth it!

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. I can say it lives up to the hype. I got 2 chicken kabobs, rice, coleslaw, pita, and fries and a drink for less than $15. That's really good! Everything was really good. I was nervous about the coleslaw at first but it was so good. The cashier was super friendly and the food came out pretty fast for us to have 3 orders.

Terrible. Don't waste your money. Gyro was burnt and disgusting. 94.0 food grade rating.

the food was great! it tasted delicious and the lady was very nice. however, the place was kinda dirty not gonna lie and the bathroom was down a long creepy hallway next to a window with a whole bunch of chairs. but the food was very good and there was also a nice cafe next to it. i got the chicken gyro. very delicious. very quick too!

I can't say enough about this place. The food is amazing every time we come here. The people here are always so nice and friendly. I normally get the chicken with veggie and rice and a Greek salad. It's way more food than I can eat in one sitting. The restaurant is half store and half restaurant with plenty of seating to eat inside. When they have deserts on hand they look amazing but they don't always have them. If you like middle eastern style food this is your place. Highly recommend this place and you will not regret it.

The food is simply amazing. Service is very fast and attentive although it is a bit like a cafeteria ordering your food. It's quick, delicious and fits the bill when you want Mediterranean food. Their Shawarma is possibly the best in the area and the macaroons are some of the best on the planet. Everything is made fresh and it shows. I SERIOUSLY suggest going on a weekend so you can get some of the mint tea they make. It's amazing. I usually get whatever is on the special board coming in whether I know what it is or not and I've never been let down. Everything I've eaten from there has been absolutely amazing. Get over the grocery store ambiance of the place, the food is top notch and if you leave hungry, you must've left your wallet in the car. The portions are great too.

Nazareth Bread is definitely a happening spot off Market street in Greensboro. Parking lot was packed. They have added a bakery and coffee spot connected to it called Fig and Olive. Upon walking in Nazareth, we noticed their sanitation score was a low 90. It made me a little nervous. We went to order a steak and cheese sub, and was informed they were out of that meat option. So I opted for the grilled chicken sub. It ended up having a lot of flavor. The place could stand to be deep cleaned and updated. Just seems very thrown together and random. The service was pleasant. We tried the fig and olive next door after lunch and it was good as well.

After reading the reviews I had to try this restaurant as I love Mediterranean food. There is no table service, you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Another Yelper commented that they knew how to grill meat here. Man is that spot on. I got the mixed grill. Calling it delicious is selling it short. It consisted of beef, chicken, and Adana. It's a ground lamb shaped into a log then grilled on a skewer. All three were delicious. My plate came with three sides. They were good as well. My wife got the steak and cheese sandwich which was also very good. The only down side is this place could use a face lift. A bit run down. It's still a good lunch stop. That grilled meat is outstanding.

Loved coming to the Ramadan buffet. The service is great there; everyone is so polite. All of the dishes were amazing, but my favorite was a baked chicken dish. Not sure what it was called, but the chicken was tender and the yellow/green sauce was so flavorful! The environment was more cafeteria style, but was clean.

Nazareth's Bread is my go to when I want like that middle eastern kabob, shawarma and hummus style food, they really are the best. Good food, good portions and for a good price. The place is clean and unique and the food comes out pretty quick. Service there is good too, 10 out of 10 would recommend.

It's not fancy, but it is definitely good food for good prices! You will have delicious leftovers. I'll be back!

Nazareth Bread really hit the spot recently. I hadn't visited in a long while, but it's great to see it cranking out delicious food. The new updated menu is nice and much easier to order from. The Nazareth Chicken platter and beef shawarma were excellent! Also a big fan of their falafels. Solid service and great food. Really, it's a GSO gem.

Nazareth remains a delicious option for Mediterranean food, as in several visits I've never had anything to eat here that I didn't love. But I've been too gracious in the past given the condition of the dining area. It really does need some remodeling, cleaning, and change of decor. This place can and should be a beacon of light, but it needs an investment in its customer experience to be at that level. [It wouldn't hurt to clean up the exterior either, but the interior is a more dire need.] I feel a little guilty about downgrading Nazareth by a star given the quality of the food and the pleasantness of the staff, but it's past due. Owners: make the comfort and cleanliness as important as the rest of the experience, and you'll deserve six stars or more. My only other complaint? They don't seem to offer their spectacular iced mint tea very often anymore, and that's a shame.

This place is awesome!!! This is the best Greek/Mediterranean option in the area! The portions are HUGE!!! I ordered the Chicken Gyro (no tomatoes) that came with fries and a side of hummus and pita. Most places only give you a small scoop of hummus and maybe 4 or 5 triangulated slices of pita bread for their side but here they give you two generous scoops and quite a bit of bread. The chicken pita was absolutely STUFFED with grilled chicken and packed with big flavor. The fries were fresh and crispy and the sweet tea was sweet. Other Greek spots cannot compete with the portion size, freshness and authenticity! This place is amazing!!

This spot looks like the local go-to for Middle Eastern food. I'm glad I chose it. Was I blown away by the food? No. But I wasn't supposed to be. This is just a good, low-key spot to come for lunch with friends. You gotta love spots like this in the community. During lunch, I saw local policemen, businessmen, couples getting in arguments, families of Middle Eastern ethnicity, teens, etc. all sitting down for a meal. It was a great mix of people just enjoying a simple meal.
