“Ajja is a true gem. A chance to try Michelin worthy food at regular restaurant prices. The plates are designed to be shared, and I recommend trying as many things as you can. Stock up on extra bread, as you will want to dip the bread in everything. The menu changes seasonally, which makes every visit a new experience. Everyone is so friendly and attentive and you can tell how much they really love working here. The food is like a Middle Eastern light Indian fusion, but it's really hard to put it in a specific category because the dishes are so unusual but yet approachable. We brought the grandparents with us this time, and even though they prefer milder dishes, they very much enjoyed the burst of flavor as even though there was a boldness to the spices it wasn't overdone. Be sure to try their unique twists on cocktails and special desserts. Ajja is the best nationally recognized fine dining restaurant, James Beard nominee, that you can easily get reservations for, arrive in jeans and a t-shirt and not feel out of place, and eat a meal that will not break your bank. I highly recommend this to everyone!“

“I am Chinese and this is my first time visitinf Sheeba restaurant. My boyfriend and I are just beyond happy. We ordered Lamb for two. We got complimentary salad along with it as well. The salad was huge I wish I had a picture. The dinner was so heavy, so much rice!!! Lamb was perfectly cooked and the soup was so flavorful. We added 2 more bread ( on top of the 2 bread that was included in the meal) for only 2 dollars. 1 dollar bread that is much bigger than my face, come on! 64 dollars dinner my bf and I were so full and we still have so much left over, I am beyond surprised I can find such nice quality restaurant in Raleigh. I have never been to Yemen and barely know much about Yemen, but my stomach now thinks Yemen as its second home after this visit! Thank you!!!!“

The reason I am still giving a decent review is the fact that it is partially my fault for not asking ? in the few minutes prior to the onset of an allergic reaction, however, I must say, The fries and shwarma panini was top tier.“

“If you’re giving this place anything under 4 stars are from those who frequent Olive Garden and think fettuccine should be served in a bread bowl. The best hanger steak and the best hummus which for me rivals the hummus at Parizade. (I love both) The art and the pairing of cherries and the dukkah flavors oh goodness. We had a hiccup with the wrong dish being brought out and there were menu items not available due to Valentine’s Day weekend. However all the food was exquisite and not overfilling. I wish I had photos but we ate everything too fast.“

“Jasmin and Olivz became a staple during my time at NC State, and it's not hard to see why. The chicken shawarma is consistently fresh and tender, paired with sauces that are nothing short of delicious. The staff, always friendly, adds that extra touch to the experience. Today's visit included a build-your-own bowl with chicken shawarma and sesame sauce dressing .. it was simple yet great flavors. We also got a vegetarian bowl with rice, chickpeas, and falafels, creating a satisfying mix. The spinach zaki, a regular favorite, never disappoints, and the paninis are consistently excellent. It's my go-to spot for light Mediterranean meals, with a bonus of being super friendly to vegetarians and vegans. Dine in seating may get crowded during lunch hours but still a great spot that has my tastebuds hooked!Vegetarian options: Falafel and Chickpeas for proteins“

“I'm not the big connoisseur of mall food and I usually steer away from it. However, I grabbed lunch at Kabobi last week and it was really good! I'm a bit of a fan of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food which, at times, is hard to come by in Raleigh. But that's changing thankfully. This place is set up like a lunch counter. I went with the Kabobi sampler. The meats were well seasoned. The steak bites were a little overdone but I imagine they cook it well because most people like it that way. It was fine. The vegetables and salad were fresh. And, the service was friendly. I'll definitely be back when I'm at the Crabtree Valley Mall.“

The kitchen is visible, the staff is friendly, and the store itself is clean and inviting. I give 4 stars overall only because the pricing is a little high ($11 for Gyro). But I will admit: food that good is worth every penny!“

“The portions are pretty decent sized here! Pricing is reasonable, too. I got the Jasmin platter with chicken, Greek salad, and falafel. The falafels were extraordinary. Salad was a little too oily for me. It also came with pita and I got hot sauce. The hot sauce goes well with the falafel but doesn't taste too Mediterranean. Would recommend if you want wanna get more volume for a decent price. The ambiance is okay, and service is typically good. We did have to wait in line for a little bit, but nothing too bad.“
