Apollo The Greek

I LOVE this store. They have very many hard to find Greek, middle-​eastern and Russian groceries. The carry both Bulgarian and Greek feta in many different sizes. the owner is very friendly and welcoming. On my very first visit he gave us all free candy and gave me a juice. It is worth the drive out to Wataugua for the good prices and friendly service.
Pro tip: Give a call before you go to make sure the store will be open.

Had been to Apollo in the past for a youth diversity international food night (had youth bring food from their respective cultural backgrounds for others to try). Good experience shopping with my son for Greek food. Good selection.
Recently my son went back for an international food night with his friends. Michael helped him find the right food to fit his needs. Helping to explain prep/​cooking requirements as well as being sensitive to cost. Thank you Michael!

Great selections between Greek & Mediterranean Groceries, always clean, super nice owner always helpful and friendly.

Great verity of international food. Service and owners and supper nice. Great deals and always fresh stuff.

Love this place. It’s close to home and has great selection and friendly service. Homemade hummus is perfect.

Great place for all your Middle Eastern needs, coffee, olives, grape leaves whatever you want.

This place is great, and the man who owns it is very friendly and helpful. I always tell everyone they should buy their spices at a shop like this. You get so much more for a fraction of the price at regular grocery stores.

love this place! The owener is super awesome

Love love love this place! The owener is super awesome! He helped me find everything and even told me how to make it at home! Which is awesome for someone like me who loves middle eastern food but has no ideal how to make it, Super nice guy! They had pretty much everything I was looking for. Its a really small store with a limited selection but they have the staples. They also have fresh olives and cheese soo. thats aways nice. Pretty much, for Greek/​Middle Eastern food, this place is def the best.

I saw this place while I was driving by the other day and stopped in to check it out. They’ve got a great selection of herbs and spices, beans, bulgar wheat, rice, pickled things, olives, grape leaves, feta, sausages (frozen), hummus, tahini, etc, etc. I also saw fish roe, taramasalata, and dried limes. I’m sure I’ll see more stuff the next time I go in.
The bottom line? If you like to cook Greek and/​or Middle Eastern food, this place has stuff that’s hard to find at other places. For me, that’s usually the herbs and spices. This place isn’t a full-​service grocery with fresh meats and produce, so don’t expect that. But if you’re looking for those extras that you can’t find at other places, try here.
BTW, the map isn’t showing the location correctly. It’s on the north side of Watauga Road about ½ a mile west of Rufe Snow (not off on a side street like the map shows).

Great little hole in the wall specialty Greek store. I love their fresh hummus and babbaganoush!
