Staying at the Fairgrounds for the week, I searched what was nearby. The menu sounded right up my alley so I stopped by to get lunch to go. But the patio atmosphere was so inviting that I decided to stay to eat. You order at the counter, where all the sides and desserts are easy to look over. They give you a number and you then take it to the cashier to pay. My food came out before I even had time to finish paying! I enjoyed the falafel pita platter with 2 sides. My lunch was super fresh and tasty. They even give you a little square of baklava to finish your meal off. But I had to try the Coconut Mousse cake and the Apple Walnut cake. Both were light as a cloud in my mouth. As is typical of food of this region, it was just barely sweet. The Coconut Mousse cake was a 10 of 10 with the bits of pineapple inside. I'll definitely put Neomonde on my list for next year when I come back through! P.S. I had no idea that pomegranates could be grown in this climate, but this tree in their parking lot doesn't lie!

We discovered this restaurant through Google Maps and decided to give it a try for our very first meal in North Carolina—and it turned out to be the perfect choice! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed, setting the tone for a great dining experience. We ordered a build-your-own bowl, the pita pocket platter, baba ghanouj, and sweet tea. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, but the standout for us was definitely the pita pocket platter with grilled veggies. The seasoning and smoky flavor made it truly memorable—one of those dishes you instantly want to come back for. The baba ghanouj was smooth and tasty with just the right balance, while the falafel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—exactly how falafel should be. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and you can really taste the quality ingredients. Beyond the food, the vibe of the restaurant added to the overall experience. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a relaxed meal, whether you’re with friends, family, or just stopping in for a quick bite. We left feeling full, happy, and excited to return on our next trip. If you’re looking for flavorful Mediterranean food with a friendly atmosphere, this spot is absolutely worth visiting. We’re so glad we found it, and we’ll definitely be back again soon. Cheers to a wonderful first meal in NC! 🥂

Coming here for the first time was a little confusing/overwhelming. There’s loads to try in the menu and when I went to order a few different items to try, the associate asked if I wanted to do a pick three or four. While that seems straightforward, I had to ask for clarification on what items qualified for that and if certain things (like dolamades) were one item or two. Overall, I feel like a little more consideration on explaining how that worked might have led me to having a better experience. The food I got was a little plain and not what I’m used to experiencing at an authentic restaurant. The dolamades were lacking in flavor and the falafel was overcooked on the outside, but okay on the inside, albeit a little bland. However, my husband was happy with his food. It’s an out of the way place, but loads of seating inside and out. Pets are allowed on the patio and it seemed to attract regulars. I just wish my experience had been a little better.

Super casual order at the counter and first come first serve seating. I went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty slow. I had the kebob platter and they let you pick 2 sides. The cilantro jalapeño hummus was so good! Laid back vibes and friendly staff. They also have a grocery section with a lot of Mediterranean options.
