User Reviews of la Shish Greek and Lebanese Cafe

Yelp.com Review - by Richard H.

5.0 of 5 stars. Nice middle eastern bistro sort of restaurant. The owner is super-nice, and the food is consistently good. My favorites are the Greek Salad with Chicken Schwarma on top, the falafel, and the desserts....

My favorite place for dining out.

Oustanding. Certainly you could spend more. But no matter how much you pay, you cannot take the decor home with you. Everything at Lashish is nicely prepared. The offerings always have appealing flavor with an...

Oh my gosh, try the asparagus soup. So rich, you will drool. Sounds gross but it is amazing. My hubby and i share the mixed plate of 2 things and 3 sides. We always get the chicken kafta and beef shawarma with...

Yelp.com Review - by J C.

4.0 of 5 stars. Cute place in a strip mall, and some outdoor tables. Consistently good service and quality food. A plus for me is the kitchen isn't hidden from view and I didn't see a microwave oven. I'm usually...

Best Middle Eastern Atmosphere & Great Food

I'm so glad we found this place! There's no where else I can go in the Triangle with such a nice atmosphere. Been 3 times so far everything exceeded expectations. Small place but not too crowded.

My husband and I have become regulars in the year since we first discovered this small, casual, cozy restaurant that is hidden away in the Reedy Creek shopping center in Cary. We tend to go on weeknights or...

Fantastic little find

This is one of our absolute favorite places. We've only been for supper, but I think I've tried everything on the menu at least once. The owner has always served as our waitress as well, and she is incredibly...

Nice find

I've had a hankerin' for a good gyro lately. I had one last week that was merely OK, so I was hoping this would be better - and it was. A little pricey, but worth it. We got a 2 person sampler and I got the...

Good food by Naaila M. at InsiderPages

This restaurant is small and quaint. Its decor is a bit of a conversation piece. I have gone here to purchase desserts for a small gathering. Good but just too expensive for just a few baklava.

hidden treasure

the new management has done wonders with this restaurant, changing it from a dingy hole in the wall type place into a romantic middle eastern cafe. I recommend the spanakopita.

Under new management, and they do it right!!!

I've read the reviews here and decided to give this place a try, based on the fact that they serve Turkish Coffee, which is a rare commodity in this area. Well, I arrive and am greeted as soon as I walk...

Refused to allow more than $5.00 off instead of the whole $8 the Entertainment coupon said I was entitled to. Said manager only allows $5 off at lunchtime. However, the coupon says lunch OR dinner, plus I was...

Excellent falafel

My husband and I meet for lunch there once a week. The combination platters and kebobs are great. I prefer the hummus and falafel at La Shish over that of Neomonde. Everything at La Shish is seasoned nicely....

La ShiSh - De-lish!

Whenever I think of La ShiSh, my mouth begins to water. I ate there so much for lunch (when I worked in Cary) that the staff knew what I would order even before I walked in the door. Never rushed, never...

La ShiSh not greek

Went there when in town on business from LA. The food was average at best, but the flavor is not Greek at all. Could barely taste lemon in any of the dishes. If you come to LA go to any of the places in W3rd...
