Al-Basha Market & Grill

The Best Mediterranean Spot in Raleigh A Hidden Gem! If you’re in Raleigh and love Mediterranean food, or even if you’ve never tried it, you have to visit this place! I’m on my third day in a row of eating here, and let me tell you, it just keeps getting better. The restaurant, which also has a grocery store inside, serves the best chicken in Raleigh, hands down. It's incredibly clean, and the food is always fresh. On my first visit, I got a Roastery whole chicken with rice, fries, and their amazing garlic sauce. My wife, who’s not usually a fan of Mediterranean food, absolutely loved it. She was so impressed that she insisted we go back the next day to get a half chicken with hummus and bread to make our own wraps at home. Today, I brought a friend along, and even though I’m on a diet, I still had an amazing meal. I swapped the rice for a side of parsley salad and hummus, and paired it with a quarter chicken. My friend got the chicken with garlic and rice, and he was blown away too. Considering this is their first year in business, they’ve surpassed my expectations in every way. The food, the service, the cleanliness – it’s all top-notch. I’m sure anyone who tries it will agree. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem – it’s the best Mediterranean food in town!

Had a great experience here - got a chicken shawarma to go and it was super fresh. Their meat section was also packed very well and had a better selection than most places. It’s also super clean inside - no weird smells.

I never write reviews on here but this place is so awesome I had to. Worth the drive if you’re coming from Chapel Hill like I was. I had a chicken shawarma sandwich with fries. Delicious.

Best chicken shawarma sandwich in the entire country. Perfect ratio of chicken, bread and garlic sauce. The beef shawarma was also very good, but it's only served on Fridays and Saturdays. Prices are also very reasonable and cheaper than other places, I hope they keep those prices and I will be coming back on the regular.

So clean, very nice and upgraded store and great food - chicken shawarma with juicy chicken and fresh French fries delicious we also got a lamb Kabab grill platter mom loved it. I want to try the baklava and sweets next time
