Taza Grill

It’s been «Taza Tuesday» in our house for 4 years. The hubby always gets burgers and I fluctuate depending on my hankerin’. Everything that we’ve tasted has been delicious. The service is always fast, friendly and accurate. The prices are reasonable. Don’t miss the fabulous pita!

This is one of my favorite weekend spots for a quick and relatively light meal. I frequently take home some pita to enjoy at home. It’s really the best that I’ve had anywhere. The ingredients are all flavorful and fresh. I’ve never been disappointed.

I LOVE this place. I have been coming here since my sophomore year of high school and I am now a sophomore in college. Soon as you walk in you are greeted with the classic greeting, «Hi Boss!» I always get the Lamb Gyro and substitute the French fries for pita and hummus! I love it! The food comes out in the blink of an eye and it’s always hot and fresh. I highly recommend this place.

I come here multiple times a week. All of there food is great. Service is awesome. I really like the Greek salad with lamb or chicken!

A Personal favorite. I’m probably biased, as I live right here in the neighborhood and want them to do well. All I ever get is a lamb gyro. The lamb is seasoned so well and the pita bread is without equal. A side of hummus with a dollop of hot peppers. We buy the bread by the bag and bring it home. I’m no expert on Mediterranean food, but I love this place and am thankful it is so convenient.

I’m a regular with my family at Taza and I love it so much. My personal favorite is the chicken salad pita but I’ve heard nothing but good reviews about everything else on the menu. The staff is so sweet and they’re super quick and very affordable — even for me, a high school student with a budget. Big hit for my friends and I at lunch. Worth a visit!

Same owner at the location off Falls of Neuse and the quality of the food is just as good. I would like to add a couple things, though.
1) It is a little concerning to me that when I order here, my food comes out in less than two minutes. Perhaps it has been a fluke, but that time is far too fast for a casual eatery and makes me think that they have food already cooked and sitting in warmers.
2) There is a clear smell of cigarette smoke lingering in the restaurant and, honestly, that’s gross.
Aside from that, love this place!

Good Greek food. I’m not an expert or anything but was happy with the quality of the food, the selection, the freshness and the service. Also the place was clean.

We are visiting family here in Raleigh and wanted some fresh authentic Mediterranean food. We went in there and the younger guys at the counter started speaking Arabic not realizing one of us is from Jordan and our first language is Arabic. We left without placing an order. Later on we called to speak with someone advising he was the owner. He seemed very nonchalant about the whole incident.
Be careful going in this place because we are sure this has not been the first time they have spoken trash about someone thinking they are just an American that doesn’t speak Arabic.

The «Hi Boss» schtick was cute. The bone dry chicken kebab with salad and potatoes swimming in oil was much less so. They do a few things right — the fresh grilled pitas and their dips are quite good. Prices are reasonable and portions generous. On a previous visit, the falafel was quite tasty and my companion enjoyed his gyro.
I suspect that how good the food from the grill is depends on who’s on the grill. Today it was definitely in need of improvement. It’s harder to go wrong with their cold dips, which are generally very good.
Pro tip: If you really like the schtick, they even have a «Hi Boss» T-​shirt available for sale in several different colors.

I am a fan and ate here for years. One major caution though for the owners: couple new guys cooking and dealing with customers are not trained in customer service. Seem somewhat surly and fairly unhappy to be working there. No comparison to the old boss who is amazing. These new guys could hurt business quickly

One of the best places to eat in Raleigh! Staff is incredibly friendly and they start making my order as soon as I walk through the door. I love when a place knows your order by heart. Good price and food is amazing.

Food was delicious and inexpensive. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend. I paid $ 8.99 for a lamb gyro combo that was delicious. The Tour of Lebanon sounded delicious as well.

This place is super-​fast, over-​the-​top friendly, and the food is delicious — always.

Just came here for the first time after finding it on Unilocal and had a similar experience as the other reviewers. The staff were super friendly. When I didn’t know what to order, the owner gave me a piece of lamb to try and it was amazing — I immediately wanted that. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced.

Maybe I shouldn’t be allowed to review the place because — I’m the Boss!
What a change from places like Taco Bell, where the staff seems confused and slightly disoriented when people want to place food orders with them. Or Chipolte where you are interrupting their earnest discussions of Veruca Salt with your nettlesome desires to get some food.
In Taza we have the novel proposition of people who want to be in the restaurant business and are interested in making the customer happy.
«Oh, Lawdyitsafurr», you say in that twee voice of yours I have come to know so well, «you have been fooled. He calls everyone Boss and doesnt remember you from Adam. This is the phoniest of corporate pseudo-​familiarity to fool the consumer.»
First off, I dont like your tone. Secondly, wrong. They know my order. They know my son’s order. They know my other son’s («other Boss») order who is off at college and was home on break and I forgot what I was supposed to pick him up but the guy behind the counter knew exactly what he wants and what he gets deleted from it. Call me when David Blaine can do that (jk, I dont answer unknown numbers).
And I change up my orders. Not always the same thing. But they know me well enough to suggest things to try. And they’ll sell you their spice rub, kabobs, or and their tzatziki for home.
Look, its a fast service place. The thing that will take the longest is the fries… Could you get better greek at a diner, yeah probably. But for a fast, hot, flavorful meal where you are in and out in 20 minutes from a guy who actually likes his customers and wants to give them a good experience– Taza cant be beat. The biggest boss since the ’69 Mustang 429.

These hard-​working folks couldn’t do what they do any better, which is why the 5-​stars. Husband has been eating their steak & cheese sandwich literally once a week (or more) for a couple years now. (at one or the other Taza). I honestly didn’t understand the obsession because I had never been.
Now I have. Yes, Husband finally took me for a quick weeknight dinner. I got to witness the boss greeting, and Husband’s preferences indeed remembered. (steak & cheese with grilled onions, mushrooms and mustard with fries).
Me: There are healthier options.
Husband: If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.
Owner: the Mediterranean Platter is really good.
Me: I’ll do that.
Drink options are soft drinks, tea and a couple beer choices. (no wine). I went with unsweetened tea.
Small place, so we could see when our meals were done. Husband hopped up and sprinkled seasoning on his fries. As always, he loved his. Meanwhile my Mediterranean Platter was fantastic! So fresh! I had already been told they make their own pita. And it was served in triangles with a skewer of succulent marinated and grilled chicken, tasty hummus, and invigorating salad with fresh tomato and herbs, plus the best stuffed grape leaves I’ve ever had. All topped off with my «choice» of baklava. (under a dome, pick your piece) It was the BEST baklava, which I somehow managed to share with Husband.
We walked out of there with me finally getting it. I will no longer question why Husband goes back faithfully week after week.

Great place to grab a kabob. Hummus is excellent. The steak and cheese is a oddly popular selection I hear many order at lunch. I have had it a few times and it is definitely worth ordering.
Only drawback is the horrendous Arabic music that is played way too loud.

I went with a friend for a quick lunch. There is something so welcoming about this place, from the Hello Boss, to how sometimes they slip in a free baklava in my take out orders. The food is consistent, always flavorful, hot and generous portions. I had the gyro sandwich, it is huge. Love the sauce, love the onions and tomatoes, and the gyro meat. I will continue to go here for lunch and especially take out dinner. Bye Boss, I’ll be back.

«Hi Boss» ! ! ! They REALLY Mean it here! The Owner will Make it the way you want it! Here the menu ONLY Serves as Suggestions! More Restaurants NEED to Follow Suit! Great Example of How to Treat your Customers!
If they can Handle a Swim Team (I’ve seen them do just that) and when Teenagers want to eat here instead of Fast-​Food you better know it is Good!
For me Service gets almost NO Points! Flavor of the Food gets ALL 5 stars
Lamb Loaf cooked on the vertical Grill
Tzatziki Sauce — Thick with small strips of Cucumber
Tabbouleh — Hint of Mint makes this one of my Favorites
Salad Dressing on top of Tomatoes (my request for NO Lettuce salad)
Pepper Relish
Baklava (Drier Version, much more like Lebanese than Greek)!
Very Casual, Counter Service, Plenty of Tables if you want to stay and eat! If you are here when a Swim team is dinning, don’t worry they are usually well-​behaved!
NO Mediterranean-​Style Coffee…
