They have the best chicken shawarma sandwich ever. It's so tasteful. We order for a party. The falafel was yummy as well. I can't wait to order again.

This is the best Shawerma I have had on the East coast. As soon as it hits my mouth, nostalgia takes me back to my high school lunch time in Jordan.

Best shawarma in the triangle, hands down! Albaraka has quickly become my go-to for Middle Eastern food in Raleigh.

This has by far the nicest ownership, staff, and service of any Middle Eastern market and deli in Raleigh. I always can get fresh meat in as little as 5 minutes from the very fast Halal butchery department. I go here for quickly grabbing all my Mediterranean needs, and I enjoy the deli foods as well. I wish the owner Blessings for continued success and growth! Raleigh is a much better place with the presence of this incredible market & cafe.

Excellent Middle Eastern food at reasonable prices. The employees are very friendly. There is also a Middle Eastern grocery store that is attached to the restaurant. Definitely worth a visit to stock up on olive oil, labneh, great pistachios from Turkey, and other groceries. I highly recommend the restaurant and the store.

They take time to prepare your food so call head and don't wait. The food is good. Definitely worth to try it.

Decent as authentic as you can get in Raleigh. I get just the sandwich, that's enough

I have been looking for a good chicken shawarma in Raleigh since I moved here from San Francisco 4 years ago. The search is over!! This unassuming restaurant/grocery is amazing. The food is great and the variety is all you needs. I will be back!!!

Amazing lamb platter and lamb sandwich! Have to try their spicy garlic sauce...so good. Service is subpar but the food makes up for it.

Under new management! All the bad reviews are from when it was owned and managed by the previous owner. Amazing food, clean and superior quality, and very friendly staff! My family and I have been coming here for years, for groceries, even when it was at the old location. Come try this food out, you won't regret it! BEEF SHAWARMA IS A1!!!! Ask for debes roman (pomegranate molasses) on it

Hmm where do I begin....The hummus was grainy, not the best. See picture for texture. I asked for pita with my hummus and they gave a huge tortilla burrito wrap. Who eats hummus with a tortilla? See pictures. I also had the beef shawarma which was delicious. We also had 2 kafta platters which were just okay. They are not very transparent about prices, they led me to believe my food automatically came with sides meanwhile they were extra charges. For example, I asked if my sandwich came with sides and he said yes, he didn't mention that it can come with a side if you pay extra. I don't mind paying but Just be transparent.

First things first I was pretty bummed that when I asked for hot sauce on my shawarma Texas Pete was applied. Wish there was some harissa or any sort of other hot sauce to spice up the wrap. Hot sauce sadness aside the shawarma wrap was fantastic. Beef was carved off the skewer, tabouli, tahini cheese were added onto the laffa (think it was laffa, definitely was thicker than a pita) and it was expertly grilled. Large and packed with meat and other goodies it was a blessing to me as I had to take my father to Rex and hadn't eaten lunch. Was super hungry so got some falafel too -- expertly fried and really tasty though the tahini was really watery which was kind of a bummer too. Service was quick and the market looked good too (it's even got a halal butcher) so I definitely imagine there will be return trips.

The best shawarma! Their dipping sauce is also very delicious. I also love that they have a wide variety of drinks to chose from. I wish they had more tables and chairs for more people to dine in. I would love to bring people to this restaurant but sometimes the seating is limited.

Forget breaking out the Weber! The whole grilled chicken is better and far easier than any we'd make at home. Delicious! Meaty & Moist! It's so fresh, they don't grill it till you order it. You'll need to call in advance to place your order. Just 30 -60 minutes, not long and well worth it.
