somehow i have missed this restaurant in the past 6 years of traveling to or living in Durham. its easy to miss when driving down 9th street! excellent Lebanese-Palestinian restaurant serving the best food on 9th street for sure. warning- the green hot sauce is insanely hot. really great flavor but its the real deal. hummus is solid, pita not bad, tabouleh pretty good, falafel is flavorful, crispy, and excellent. comfy casual atmosphere with booths and they also had some great habibi-techno music playing on the speakers. to me the flavors in general couldve been a little more tasty (i wonder if the food is possibly less spiced to appeal to the local crowd?) but definitely a 4/5 and this type of food is extremely uncommon around so i will definitely be supporting as much as possible. many vegan and vegetarian dishes on the menu!

One of my favorite places in Durham that never misses! The food is delicious, and the portion sizes are great. I highly recommend the beef gyro platter. I typically get take-out and my order is always ready to go and fresh. I highly recommend International Delights.

I can't believe I just found this place! Unbelievably fresh, flavorful, and so delicious. The owner came out and checked on us three times and gave us baklava to try. Recommend Chicken Shawermah and Beef and Lamb Gyro. The hummus was incredible as was the Tahineh. And the baklava was heavenly deliciousness. We will return as often as possible!!

My family and I have gone here since I was in highschool! (2010 😱) And the food has always been reliably delicious. Seasoned well, made fresh, and a wide array of options. Anytime I'm in town visiting my family this spot is on the list! I'm partial to the falafel platter and my family comes every week for gyros. Owners are very kind and friendly! My favorite thing is the sage tea. If you have time to sit and relax it is a must.

Visited here last week on a whim, just searched for Mediterranean food nearby and wasn't sure what to expect. I ordered the vegetarian bowl and my mom ordered the vegan bowl. Both were delicious, the food tasted authentic and homemade. It didn't taste like the usual over-salted chain restaurant food, it was unusually cold outside and it felt like a comforting home cooked meal. I'm not in the area often, but we will definitely be back again!

I used to eat here regularly. Always got a sandwich. Usually goat or goat and lamb. I still to this day crave the smell of this place when you walk in the door and whatever specific oil it is they use here. I so miss this place.

Almost don't wanna share this jewel but I will. You see the pics and it taste better than it looks. Please try any of their dessert!

Outstanding sandwich/gyro/shawarma spot right by Duke. All meats are halal and cooked to perfection. The owner is especially kind and really makes sure you have a good experience. I forgot to take a photo since I ate the hoagie so fast!

Amazing 10/10 protein bowl. It’s like a cheesesteak salad with rice (comes with both chicken and steak) - it should come with tomatoes and feta cheese but you have to add it and pay extra. My favorite tzatziki ever, super thin and not chunky - like a ranch but with dill. Love this place 🙌🏼
