"Our food was fabulous. They were not busy though and our service was very slow. It was that way the last time too with a different server. They don't notice when you need more to drink or when you are ready to order or when you are ready for your check. But, we keep going back because they are very pleasant and the food is fabulous."

"the outdoor patio was perfect, and the restaurant did a wonderful job accommodating our large group on such short notice... however the lamb still needs improvement. I expect more meat than fat when paying the given price."

"Really enjoyed the food, setting and service, but the noise level made it difficult to talk over dinner. We happened to be sitting at a table near the front doors that had a speaker turned toward it. The music was incredibly loud and distracting. I don't know that I will return to Sitti because of the noise level. That is a shame because in every other way it was a great dining experience. My waitress did turn down the volume of the speakers at my request, but depending on the song the volume shot right back up."

"Sitti is one of the best Middle Eastern / Mediterranean restaurants that I have ever run across. My family is Lebanese and the food is exceptional with a high quality and presentation. I have dined at Middle Eastern restaurants across the country and this one is my favorite by far. Luckily it's only a couple of hours from where I live and in a city I get to travel to often.
The family and staff of Sitti are incredibly attentive and friendly. In true fashion they go out of their way to make you feel as if you are not just a guest of their restaurant but rather a guest of their home.
It's a wonderful experience and highly recommended."

"My husband and I went to Sitti for Mother's Day. I made the reservation through Open Table for 11:15 am. We chose to eat outside and it was a beautiful day, although a bit breezy, it was still very pleasant. The service and food was excellent. I had been to Sitti before but it was my husband's first time and he was impressed. My husband had the filet kabob and I had the vegetable kabob, his came with rice with vermicelli and mine with a lentil rice combination. Both were very good and flavorful. If you like to watch the cooks they have a window to do so. I watched the baker making the pita bread and then put it in the wood burning oven. It was a wonderful dining experience altogether."

"Excellent food! Great atmosphere! Interesting wine list with several Lebanese selections. I would recommend to anyone looking for a dinner for two or with a group. The only drawback, if there is one, was the noise level was loud at times and I couldn't hear my conversation with my wife. So, bring your hearing aids and enjoy Raleigh dining at it's best!"

"My wife & I are relatively new to the area, but this came highly recommended per TripAdvisor, so we decided to give it a go. A friend was in town from Colorado, and we took him with. It was a great decision. We had great food & beer, and the servers were very attentive. We would recommend this place without hesitation."

"We were starving & ordered the feta dip & pita chips (great!) but you don't need an appetizer because they bring fresh pita & oil to your table for free (great!). Out of the 4 people in our party, I was the only one somewhat satisfied. I ordered the Kafta Kabob Wrap & liked it; the potato salad that came with it was bizarre & unappetizing. My 3 companions didn't care for theirs (a chicken wrap, a stew, and a shawarma plate). I'll give it another try because I like Lebanese food. However the servers were slow & abrupt & not very helpful, although our waiter took off my grandma's meal when she told him she didn't like it. I appreciate that but a little eye contact & politeness throughout would've been better."

"Good food, good service. Good atmosphere. What a restaurant needs to succeed. Sitti has all of these and has succeeded in creating a wonderful dining experience. Best times for conversation are earlier in the evening before the noise picks up. Best place to sit is up front near the window for good people watching. I highly recommend Sitti for anyone who wants a wonderful plethora of Lebanese dishes."

"Siti food is generally good, from the warm pocket bread to the Kabobs.
However, every time we call for a reservation on Friday night they say they are booked. We arrive the place is mostly empty. Very irritating. They try to get you down in their dark smelly basement, when the upstairs has tons of empty tables.
The whole restaurant is feeling old and a big grungy.
If you are going to serve a selection of salads, provide salad forks.
PLEASE do not have your wait staff SPRAYING cleaner on the empty table next to me when I am eating. Just awful."

"Sitti has been my downtown go-to for a couple years now. As far as the food goes the only entree I ever get is the rack of lamb, which is flipping fantastic, though I experiment with the apps. The atmosphere is great. The upstairs is wide open and you get to watch the hustle and bustle of the restaurant , and then the downstairs is much quieter - though it's sometimes reserved for parties which can get quite loud if you're at one of the surrounding tables. Service is always spectacular. I planned a surprise birthday dinner of twelve people and our server was on point with absolutely everything - drinks, apps, dinner, checks - and we got two desserts at the end, one with a candle. I would recommend this to everyone. Consistently wonderful."

"It was an excellent first visit, and we will be returning soon! We celebrated our first anniversary and it was perfect from the moment we arrived. They were delightfully helpful, our dinner was amazing, and the dessert was fabulous beyond words. Thanks to all at Sitti!!!"

"I have lived and worked I the Middle East and like all Kebabs from Koubideh in Iran to Turkish Kefta and loved your Kebab. I got a taste when we held my son's wedding lunch for 18 in your room downstairs along with many other dishes and last visit just concentrated on Kebab as did most of our group.
It won't be the last time.
Cheers,"

"We have eaten at Sitti several times. The food is always excellent - this time we had a lamb and okra stew and a dish of shrimp and scallops, and both were very tasty. Service is friendly and prompt. The only drawback to our night was that the restaurant can get a bit noisy.
We will certainly return.

"We have been to Sitti several times, and every visit so far has been a delight. This celebratory lunch was a great experience. Our guests were first-timers in their 20s, and they enjoyed the edgy urban decor mixed with vintage photographs PLUS the gorgeous bar. All the food was good and, as usual, the star was the Lebanese tasting platter. This time, we chose the vegetarian version and left nothing on the plate! Sitti is for the adventurous diner looking for different food and attentive service rather than for the hurried worker or footsore tourist who just wants a sandwich and a cold drink. Come to Sitti to savor your meal. We will definitely be back."

"We went there because of the rave reviews. I would say the food was good and the service was great. Nothing we ate really stood out and had me wanting to come back again soon. The restaurant is very loud, although nothing you wouldn't expect based on location/crowd. Nice bar with a good beer/wine selection. Service was outstanding and above and beyond what I would have expected. Overall a good experience, that left me somewhat satisfied."

"Loved this place. Food is terrific. Had the lamb/beef kabob. To die for. Service was solid; even had one server come over to check on us because we made eye contact. Place is clean and has a light/clean ambiance. Entrees are in the $13 - $25 range. The cheaper options are great. Solid date spot."

"Wonderful food. Quiet atmosphere. The food was amazing. The goat cheese stuffed sweet peppers were amazing. I had never had lamb until I went here, and I plan on going back for more. The fresh made pita bread and oil dip was wonderful as well. We had wanted to step outof our comfort zone and try something new, so glad we chose Sitti! We will be back agian!"

"Found two hairs in the appetizer ..did not want to make a scene,so we just did not eat eat it. Rest of dinner was good, but not exceptional food and we have had
better "Mediterranean" cuisine elsewhere. Not planning on returning. Restaurant would appeal to younger crowd with less expectations for flavor.
