Best WLM Reviews

I absolutely love this place! What don't they have? Fresh Produce, spices, oils, snacks, seasoned meat, unseasoned meat. Their food served at the food court is great. I only wish I was closer. I come here for so many things. Great olive bar! They have a really good selection of drinks too! They have Inca Cola! Which is from South America. My favorite thing to get here is their bread. It's not heavy, fresh and delicious. You can buy kebabs here to take home took cook. Seasoned chicken schwarma, hummus and more. Come check it out!
Albaraka Mediterranean Market and Grill might just be my new favorite spot! Their lahmacun is absolutely amazing—definitely to die for. They offer a wide variety, and everything is top-notch, from the fresh salads to the delicious chicken shawarma. I highly recommend it to anyone. I love this place!
I was on the hunt for the best shawarma place in the RTP Raleigh area and after trying two other spots, I finally made it to Al-Baraka. Hands down, it’s the best authentic shawarma in town! Both the beef and chicken shawarma were fantastic. The food is 100% halal, and I highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed. Share your thoughts if you go!
Very helpful and accommodating to our food preference! Thank you ! And wonderful food I been coming here and drove 20 minutes just to get the falafel sandwich platter which comes with fries and coleslaw. So filling and fresh. The grape leaves and dessert are worth checking out.
I had a platter with grilled veggies as the base, and they were fresh, hot and delicious. As sides, I had hummus and fries. The hummus came with bread that was somewhat like pita and tortilla, but softer, also delicious. My sister's fresh fries were very good--mine had been sitting a while. I wanted to try a dessert that looked like honey candy--the server was unable to tell me what it was or what was in it, so I ordered baklava. I got the honey dessert anyway, and it was kind of like thickened honey. I would have preferred a plate (told them I was dining in), but got Styrofoam, which I make a point to avoid. So, good food, mixed review.
I absolutely love shopping at Albaraka Mediterranean Market ! The selection of products is fantastic, especially the wide variety of Turkish items that bring a taste of home. Everything is always fresh, high quality, and reasonably priced. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and trustworthy, which makes every visit a pleasant experience. It’s rare to find a store that combines both excellent service and authentic products like this. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality groceries and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!
I ordered Chicken mashoob and got bloody tasteless raw chicken instead, the new staff yelling at each other and the girls almost started afight together, you don't feel welcomed, the food is horrible!
So the lesson is, never trust reels/videos from food bloggers. We saw some videos and they presented them as awesome and we were drawn towards this place.
Taste - Very close to horrible. The grilled kababs were overcooked and rubbery. Really had to to make extra effort to eat.
Platter had yellow colored rice and some chunks of meat..... completely avoidable.
Shawarma was the blandest of them all.
Quantity - Besides Shawarma, rest all had extremely small portions compared to the price tag.
There are a lot of better Mediterranean/middle-Eastern restaurants just around this one with far better options....this one is completely avoidable.
