Mediterranean Kitchen — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

Review from a Hungry North Carolinian Who Finally Found Real Mediterranean Food

Listen. I’ve been in NC for a while now, and let me tell you, good Mediterranean food has not been easy to come by.

But this place? It. Was. Glorious. Like making involuntary oh-ah sounds out loud in public kind of glorious.

Here’s what I had:

Lamb souvlaki — juicy, perfectly grilled, and the sauce? 100% homemade. You can taste the difference.

The one star is for the kind woman that works there. The...
