Hummus Cafe

This is the best Mediterranean food I've ever had in NC! Hands down. This isn't some lame, favorless Mediterranean chain. This is true, authentic greek/turkish food. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu! Yeah, they don't have the best decor/atmosphere... WHO CARES! I could eat this food inside a cardboard box and be happy. Show this small business some love and come check it out for yourself. I promise you wont be disappointed!

Decent food with a few misses. Came by here for a quick bite with the family and were overall just ok with the food. While it wasn't bad, it wasn't good enough to leave an impression tempting enough for us to come back here. The hummus, pita bread, babaganoush, greek salad were ok but the biggest letdown was the lamd shwarma. I've always eaten shwarma where the outside is charred while the inside is juicy and delicious, this here missed out on the outside char and the flavorful inside, it felt mostly like a bland lamb boiled dish. The person serving us was very humble and service was very friendly. I really wish I had really great things to say about this place as I am always excited about food but was left a bit disappointed in this meal.

A pleasant find in an area one would not expect. It's behind the gas station in a non discript strip front. Hard to see from the street. We were heading to the Uber place beside here but decided to try this instead. I'm glad we did. From the fresh humus to the various sauces and dishes it was tasty. If staying at one if the RDU airport hotels it's worth a trip to find this place. I had the chicken kabobs and they were grilled perfectly and tasty. My son had the lamb and it was also done to his liking. See attached photos. The buffet bar was not open on the day we stopped and I can't comment on that. The regular menu prices are reasonable.

This review is a tough one because I want to give it more stars due to the yummy food, but there are some things that can't be overlooked when leaving a review. We walked it to no one in the restaurant at all, which was slightly disconcerting as I've never been in a restaurant with no one else there. The restaurant was dark and not horrible looking, but not terribly inviting. I finally had to ring the bell to have anyone come and assist me. We ordered our food and received it very quickly, but while we waited at our table we had to wipe it down ourselves because it was so sticky. Even after wiping it down, it still felt dirty. While we were eating, we had a small cockroach crawl out of somewhere, across the napkin container, and up the wall. We rapidly moved tables and in doing so the gentleman who made our food said, "Oh, he must have come from the back." This statement was NOT encouraging. We moved to a new table, which was just as dirty and sticky. My friend then watched the guy who waited on us put together food with his bare hands. Someone came in to order food and after two minutes of waiting, he had to get the guy's attention to take his order, and he was standing right in front of him! The lamb schwarma sandwich was very good, but I definitely won't be coming back here due to the above stated reasons.
