Neomonde Mediterranean

I went twice during my stay in the area. And honestly I wish I could have gone more! The prices seemed reasonable for such fresh and healthy food. I did the pick four sides for $14. The fatoush and mjdurah (lentil and rice dish) were my absolute favorites. The cabbage salad and the chickpea/butternut squash were both phenomenal! I was very pleased with both of my visits and the variety of vegan options available.

Came here for the first time and I thoroughly enjoyed my salad. My kids enjoyed their kids meals. My husband didn’t like their pita sandwiches - I think it may have been the dressing that is in them. And they weren’t very large or filling. It wasn’t busy when we came for lunch on Saturday but it took a really long time to get our food. It was good but I’d probably do takeout in the future.

I enjoyed dining at Neomonde. The humus, ratatouille and the couscous salad were all delicious. The service was great and and we had no trouble getting seats.

My niece came from out of town and she loves pita bread so I called ahead of time asking if the pita bread would be fresh. I was told that it was and bought 30 bags of bread. After my niece had gotten home she discovered every bag of bread was molded. I followed up in the store and no one had done anything to help or resolve the issue. I was taken back when told that management could not help me and if I wanted assistance I should send an email.

Fresh and so delicious! They offered a variety of grains, meats, sauces and vegetables to add into the house made pita bread. Since this was my first visit, I had a difficult time choosing what to try but the server was very patient and made some great suggestions. My sister ordered just the beef/lamb shawarma and I had the chicken shawarma with couscous (loved it!!!!!!) and a pomegranate salad. Very affordable. This is one of those restaurants worth regular visits because it is full of flavorful healthy options — so much to enjoy— Definitely get another baklava!

If you’re looking for a place to enjoy delicious quality ingredients with a variety of choices - you won’t be disappointed. My son enjoyed the pita pocket with lamb, fries, and seasonal fruit. I ordered the build your own bowl mujaddara (lentils & rice), falafel, beets. We also ordered a side of chickpea & sweet potato salad. I would’ve captured photos but we didn’t wait to dig in!! They had a few people in line but this didn’t keep the young lady who was taking orders from smiling & remaining patient & professional. We enjoyed the service, the clean & friendly environment, & every bite of food. We hope to come back someday!

What a delightful find. The pita, salads and hummus where exceptional. Especially the jalapeño hummus. A must try in the area.

Overall Score: 6.3/10 New place. Busy but still ran smoothly, and food came out on time. Portions felt solid for what you pay. Everything seemed fresh and well made. Food & service 6.3/10 Fresh dishes with good portion sizes and friendly, efficient service even with the crowd.

Located on chapel hill road with plenty of parking available. I was surprised to see they close at 8:00 pm but it was there around 2;00. You place your order at the counter and the hard part is choosing which sides to get. They have plenty to choose from and the man helping me was patient . I had a platter that had a lamb and beef shawarma pita sandwich. My two sides were tabouli with quinoa and a kale salad. The sandwich was delicious, their pita is awesome. The tabouli salad was fresh and really good. The kale salad had apples and raisins in it and was very fresh but the dressing was way too spicy for me. They have both indoor and outdoor dining and both had no dirty tables. Drinks are self serve . I stop here every time I am in the area.

First time trying dinner here. It took me a bit to figure out what to order and they have many options of sides. Everything looked good. I ordered a chicken kabob with orzo and veggies and a side of garbanzo beans with butternut squash. This was good. This came with a side of pita that appeared to be whole wheat. I like my pita warm so you can dip hummus or other items. One of the orders in my party took a long time to make. I enjoyed the food and the servings were generous.

This is my go to Mediterranean spot in Cary. Highly recommend their kabobs- cannot go wrong with any of them but my favorites are the chicken and lamb. I also really love the baba ghanoush and jalapeño hummus. Regularly come here for lunch- pro tip, order ahead online!

Here visiting relatives and we were in the mood for Mediterranean food. Ordered the steak pita and it was like eating an old shoe. Sorry but the steak was tough and flavorless. The sides and pita bread were the only reason I didn't give 1 star. Not impressed.

Right now, I'm watching my calories into my particular trying to eat more healthier. This is my go to place

My wife and I arrived on a Sunday afternoon (maybe an hour after restaurant opening) the food we selected like the rice and meat were cold, seemed like for prepped the day before or much earlier in the morning the meat lacked flavor, the hummus was ok for a place that was not busy, just a handful or people. I thought we will get freshly made food but was disappointed. We MAY give this place another try but we will most likely bite the bullet and drive further to Sassool for good Mediterranean food.

Food always wonderful! Love the jalapeno hummus. Everything fresh. Always a favorite for takeaway

I wish I had taken photos but I was hungry and didn't think to do so. This was one of the best meals I've had out in a while. I was a little confused by the way the menu worked because I'd never been but the staff was helpful and got me situated with a yummy plate. I had grilled chicken with the cabbage and a kale salad side. So yummy that I look forward to going back. Prices were quite reasonable also.

Excellent food & service as always!! Lamb kebab & 2 sides. Mango lassi, lebanah is always the best IMHO!! Clean & reasonably priced!! I go here often with friends & they enjoyed the cabbage side.

Honestly guys, it doesn't get better than Neomonde's! I'm a frequent visitor at all Neomonde's (and Sassool) locations. I'll never get tired of their amazing food...ever. If you haven't been, shame on you. Go now! My husband and I shared a chicken shawarma pita during this visit for a light afternoon snack. They make their pitas (and everything I think) fresh in house. The shawarma has a nice garlic flavor and some pickles to give it a perfect flavor. All of their menu options are fantastic, these are a few of my favorites: mjadarah, grilled salmon, vegetarian lasagna, hummus, kale salad, baba ghanouj, and fatoush salad. The quality and freshness can't be beat. I can't imagine my life without Neomonde's as an option.

Had a great little birthday dinner here with some coworkers. Perfect spot that's casual but still a place with delicious, high quality food. This is a local favorite for a reason!

For a fast food place, this was pretty decent! You order your main dish which comes with a ton of sides you can choose from. I got the pita pocket plate which came with half a pita with beef and lamb shawarma which was my meat of choice. It was dressed with some taziki sauce. The pita was warm and fluffy and the meat was moist and flavorful, especially with the sauce. For my 2 sides, I got the beet salad and which was mixed with a pomegranate balsamic vinaigrette and the tabouli which is chopped parsley, tomato, cucumber and onion tossed in olive oil and lemon juice. Each of the side dishes was extremely fresh and the acidity helped brought out the freshness of the veggies. Overall a great meal!

I love Mediterranean food and have been to many Mediterranean restaurants in the area. This one doesn't come close to any of the others in taste and food quality. I won't be back.

Pomegranate salad was tasty, hummus was good, rice and couscous were okay, and sadly the steak kabob was just not good. So, the balance seems to be 3 stars down the middle.

Fresh Mediterranean food at prices that can't be beat! I remember having dinner here before the pandemic and hadn't been back until today I stumbled back this way on my way back home. I had a pita pocket platter with 2 sides for just 10.99! And you get a piece of baklava with it! They have several flavors available. I kept it classic with pistachio and my husband had walnut. I ate mine while waiting for our food (so good)! Overall, this is a solid casual spot with lots of options with everything from falafel and hummus to shawarma and kabobs. You'll find something for any tastes here.

We got sick for the second time and we only ate vegan offerings. Both times the ill feeling hit within 60 minutes of finishing the meal

I always return to this spot when I am in town. COVID hit their staffing hard, so they are only open for lunch- but I didn't feel any degradation of service or food quality. If you like heat - those spicy fries will surely hit the spot. You will never go wrong with their shawarma- I know the chicken is a hit but my favorite is the perfect balance of beef and lamb with the authentic pickles. There are so many sides to choose from - all fresh crispy and delicious with a hint of lemon I can't seem to pick a favorite. Their pitas are soft and delicious - there is a reason they have a huge bake house to ensure you can find it in almost all local grocery stores.

Our go to stop for Mediterranean / middle eastern food. We ordered the neomonde plate which consisted of humus, baba Ghanoush, tabbouleh, and grape leaves. Unfortunately it did not come with pita to dip. I wish they would have told us so we could have purchased that separately. The chicken shawarma was delicious and saucy. Chicken was tender, and the sauce was delicious. I had the side salad as well. The beef and lamb shawarma was good as well but was not saucy like the chicken shawarma. Garlic paste was given on the side (try it with the spicy fries... yum!!!) We always do takeout and one day hope to enjoy it fresh in the restaurant.

Tried the chicken shawarma on pita and it wasn't like any shawarma I have eaten before. The meat seemed more like grilled chicken than traditional shawarma chicken. It was very bland and lacked seasoning. I have to say the white pita bread it was on was absolutely delicious and fresh but the meal came with side of pita which was completely different, more like wheat pita and very stale, seemed old. Tabbouleh was good but hummus and tzatziki were very bland and lacked flavor. Luckily there are many other restaurants in Raleigh area with more authentic food.

Was meeting a friend visiting from out of town who was staying in Durham for a few days so I chose this location because it was the midpoint for both of us. I was so disappointed with the food. I ordered my usual which is the double chicken kabob platter with double mjahdarah. The kabobs were super dry and over cooked and the mjahdarah was bland. I thought it would the same level of quality that I get from Raleigh but it was not. Doubtful I would return here. The one plus side was that I didn't have to wait long for my food.

Overpriced in relation to the flavor. We expected more but it was on par with something above fast food slightly.

Service was quick as you order by the window and they compile the food as you pick the dishes. However quality of food could be better. I came here with high expectations and recommendations from friends. Maybe it was an off day but the fall pita pocket with butternut squash and pita was cold and dry. Their pita wasn't warm so it kept breaking... which made me think it's not fresh. tatziki and orzo salad were good but I don't recommend their pita pocket. I got my husband chicken kebab and he was disappointed. There are better Mediterranean spots, I don't think I'll be back here.

Very very slow, but tasty food. They were out of quite a few things between 5-6 that I wish they would have had. I tried the Beef Lamb Shawrma and my boyfriend had the Chicken Schwarma (which I tried). The meat was so tender and juicy for both. Love the hummus, especially the bread with it. The cilantro jalapeño hummus is a must. Butternut Chickpea Salad was delightful, too, as well as the pistachio baklavas. They have indoor seating as well as a covered patio.

Great selection of cold/hot vegan and gluten free options! Eat dessert first: GF red velvet cake. Strip mall location with counter ordering and self serve beverages/Utensils. Items at the counter are labeled and may be sampled if you can't decide among the various colors/textures. Satisfying experience.

Simply the best! Being a former New Yorker, finding good bread is a challenge (especially anything poppyseed). Love their Kaiser rolls, but everything was delicious. After a few hiccups, we got it right. Customer Service and product is a 10. Looking forward to many more orders.

The drop in quality is stunning. The chicken was so dry it literally flaked apart. My baklava was dense and hard. The rice/lentil side was dry and over cooked. Extra 1$ if you want a white pita half. No idea what's happening at this location but if the rest are like this I won't be back

Update: I returned when my parents were visiting and our experience was less than pleasant. The staff was rude and impatient as we were deciding what to order. There was no one behind us so I was taking my time explaining to my parents what all the options were and they girls working were trying to rush us into ordering and getting annoyed that it was taking so long. The food also wasn't as flavorful this time around and because of the bad customer service, I will not be returning. The baklava is still good so I just might have to stop by for that.

I got the kebab platter. While the kebabs were good, the sides were a disappointment. The grape leaves were hard, the rice inside had completely dried. The other side was a special with chickpeas and labneh and had zero flavor. My friend got the special shrimp and corn dish which she liked, but only had 2/3 shrimps for the whole platter.

This is my second time coming here. I don't remember the first time very well but this time my partner & I got pita pockets, one with chicken and one with lamb/beef shawarma. We both got rice as a side and I got beet & orange salad and he got grape leaves. The pita pockets were good but the sides were just ok. Nothing crazy, just fine and maybe a bit bland. Overall the food was fine but it was about $30 for two pita sandwiches that came with 2 sides and no drink. It seems a bit pricey for what it is, that's all. I have heard the veg lasagna is good so if I come back I may give that a try.

We came here for lunch one afternoon because they had a great Yelp following. We ordered 2 family platters. Family platters comes with protein (lamb were extra $2 per piece of meat), rice, salad, 2 small sides, 4 pita bread and baklava. Pros: * lots of choices * Mjadarah - rice dish with lentils (Yumm). It was a crowd favorite * lamb koftas with caramelized onions were good * sweet and attentive staff Cons: * aside from Mjadarah and lamb kofta, food was ok. * sun-dried tomato hummus and cilantro jalapeño hummus, flavors were subdued. I really didn't know what i was trying. * chicken kabobs were overcooked. * pita bread was cold and hard, wish they were warm. Overall, it was good but could be a lot better.

Neomonde is pretty good. I go about once a week since it's pretty close to my work and I can always get in and out pretty quickly. I like the selection of different salads so I normally get a 3 or 4 sampler platter. The kale salad, hummus, maklouba, lentils, and sweet potatoes are some of my favorites. They also have a $10 lunch special that includes a pita with two sides. It's a pretty good deal! I like the grilled chicken and the chicken shawarma. It's a fairly large place, too, so there's always room to grab a table and sit. Parking can be sticky if you go around 11:30-12:30, but you can usually find a space.

I have been to the Raleigh location 4 times and loved it everyone time. I moved to Cary so I went to this location out of convenience. I expected it to have the same quality as the Raleigh location. I experience a long wait time which did not make sense. The restaurant was not busy at all. My partner and I just ordered 2 things: veg pita and 2 kabob platter. We were very disappointed they did not include a fresh pita or baklava with the kabob platter. This was always included at the Raleigh location. Also, the kabob platter was at least a $1 more and the meat was DRY and not very enjoyable to eat. We ordered chicken and steak. The beet salad was NOT the same recipe uses a three Raleigh location. It was bland, and really not good tasting at all. I could make the same thing at home in 2 minutes using precooked packaged beets from Costco and slicing up an orange. (The beet salad at the Raleigh location is so good, I would be willing to pay for the recipe.) TLDR: Long wait, subpar quality food, more expensive than the better location. I will NEVER go back to this location. I will take extra time to drive to the Raleigh location next time. I will also leave that location a 5-star review because they deserve it.

Great Mediterranean option in the area. I love how many sides they have to offer. Check them out!

I have heard great things about Neomonde from several people so I decided to check it out with my Dad, who was in town. I really love Mediterranean food so I was excited and looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. Don't get me wrong! It WAS good. But it wasn't anything super special or anything to write home about. Of the various Mediterranean restaurants I have tried in the triangle area this was the least impressive. I ordered the chicken kabob platter with tabouli and chickpea black bean salad. I really enjoyed the chickpea black bean salad. The chicken kabob was alright. A few pieces were a little chewy and slightly burnt. My dad ordered the lamb and steak kabob platter with Kibbie and chicken salad. I didn't try anything of his but he said it was good. We also ordered Kifte (sp) for dessert which good but I probably wouldn't get it again. Staff and service, however, were excellent and the place was clean, albeit a bit warm inside.

Very good menu selections, was a little overwhelming as a first time visitor to narrow down what to get. The food was very fresh and service good. Nice outdoor seating area too.

Located near the airport. Great place for lunch after picking up or dropping off people at RDU. All the same flavors as the other location. Went for lunch on a Monday around 1:00. No line, everything was made in front of us and all the food was still hot. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, and fast fresh food. If you like Lebanese food, you must give this place a try.

I came here for lunch with some coworkers. There were many options to choose from in the menu and I was tempted to get a Pita Pocket Platter since it comes with a piece of baklava, but in the end I went with the Lasagna Platter (one piece of grilled veggie lasagna with a choice of two sides). I was overwhelmed by the amount of sides on display and didn't end up liking the ones I chose (kale salad and orzo salad) as much as I'd hoped. The lasagna was amazing though! Definitely plan on coming back to try their other dishes just because of the lasagna.

When you walk into this place, the food smells amazing! If you're looking to eat vegetarian or vegan, this is a great place to do it. Everything is so fresh!

Fresh, healthy Mediterranean food! Neomonde never disappoints with their diverse selection of entrees and sides. I personally like the lunch box special which includes your choice of wrap or half sandwich, two sides and a piece of baklava for $9.99. A few of my favorite menu items include the chicken kabob pita, chicken shawarma pita, pomegranate salad, mjadarah and cabbage delight. Tip, go early or else prepare to wait!

Everyone has been telling me to go here. I decided to stop in for lunch and it was amazing! I arrived around 11:30 p.m. to beat the rush; it's super busy around 12:00 p.m. It was my first time so I decided to try to 4-item plate. I would recommend this option for first-timers. You can choose from the cold and hot bar. There are only 2 items on the hot bar that you have to pay extra for if you decide to get it. The gentleman who took my order helped recommend some items which was really helpful. The food was amazing! All four dishes was very flavorful and my kinda food! I can't wait to return and try other items on the menu. Also, I loved the ambience of the space and sunlight! Great place to grab lunch and work away.

Phenomenal food and service! Great Chicken Kabobs and Tabbouleh! Will be coming back!

Always a favorite because their food is so fresh. Had dinner there - not many dining I but lots of take out. The sides are the best! Alway love the chicken kabobs. There offer meals to go based on the number of people in your party. A good option to consider when you have visitors in your home.

They no longer seem to sell haloumi here since over a month back. That's no good at all. Still four stars in my book, but only because of the vegetarian dishes. The meat is very mediocre, not much seasoning, if any at all. The lamb is tough and dry. Would be nice if they had ground lamb skewers. Chicken skewer is Ok when cooked right, but the chicken shawarma is so dry and the sauce they add has no sha-pow to it. Too much tahini flavor in the sauce. Do come for the veg platters, here is the good stuff: jalapeno/cilantro hummus, tzatziki, lasagna with no pasta (I know, sounds awful, but is really good), cabbage salad, green beans in sauce. Some dishes are quite tangy from the lemon. As for the desserts, I quite like the pineapple and coconut (pina colada?!) cake. They have a bakery on site, considering that I'm surprised that the pita tastes store bought and dry. Nothing is particularly expensive here and it's good for a quick fix meal.

The restaurant is fresh and bright with lots of seating, and there's a small grocery section in the far corner. The staff was friendly and patient as we made our selections--chicken kabob platter and pita pocket platter. My chicken kabob was very well seasoned and well cooked, and the accompanying orzo salad and hummus were tasty. My friend liked his pita pocket with a side of roasted potato salad and cilantro hummus. They don't put pita on your plate for the hummus. Instead, the pita is in bags on the counter near the fountain drink machine. Remember this in case no one tells you (as with us). Neomonde is a great spot for lunch or a casual dinner.

Awesome Mediterranean restaurant located right here in Cary near the airport. It's a must if you're in this area and looking for a bite to eat with some authentic Middle Eastern food. . The smells are incredible in the food has incredible flavor.

I always love having lunch of dinner here, or just grabbing some hummus and pita. From the shawarmas, to the kabobs and baklava, everything is delicious. Definitely my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the Triangle. The cafe is nice and there's a patio for dining outside, but lately we've used convenient mobile ordering and curbside pickup.

Great spot for fresh and authentic Middle Eastern fare. For $10, my husband and I split a 4-sides sampler. The garbanzo salad was fresh with light dressing. The roasted veggies were flavorful with good texture. There is a bakery there and a small grocery section. Gluten free, Vegan options available. Very busy for lunch.

Great option for Mediterranean, but the recent opening of other options nearby make Neomonde less of a go-to must for me. Lots of options here, but this can be very intimidating to the inexperienced customer. Sandwiches are good here, but they're quite pricey. However, I will say that the quality is very good, and the pita is freshly made.

Fun spot where you get to sample a lot of different middle eastern dishes and listen to authentic music and shop the grocery store so you can try your hand at making some of your own dishes at home. I really want to like this place as I'm Middle Eastern myself and respect what their doing here. I just didn't taste much of the authentic flavors I'm used to. Don't get me wrong, everything was fresh and my proteins (chicken & beef kabob) were grilled to order. I just found it to be a little bland compared to what I'm used to. Love that they give you a free sample of baklava for first timers and they have a strong loyal crowd that seems to keep coming back. If I was scoring this place solely on food it would have been a 3 but the ambiance, friendly staff and variety step this place up to 4 stars. Definetly worth a try if your in the area.
