I avoided this place for years because I found the signage unappealing. Plus, they serve cheesesteaks, which is to me something of a red flag. But one day a friend wanted to try it, so in we went. Wow! Their vegetarian food is incredible. The best falafel in Durham by far. The bean dish and stuffed grape leaves and hot sweet tea and baklava were all unbelievable. Although not fancy, I ultimately felt the atmosphere was quite cozy, and the space was cared for and clean. The authentically kind service I received across multiple visits was heartwarming as well. Fantastic place I hope continues to thrive.

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.

Wanted to try a new place to eat we've never been to before and we stumbled across this restaurant on our way to Mebane. The place is a bit on the small side and we came on an uncrowded day- our food was ready fairly quickly. I ordered the lamb gyro with an oreo cheesecake slice for dessert so that's my recommendation to anyone else. Both were filling and tasty, and their tzatziki sauce was wonderful! :)

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!!
