THE NEOMONDE MEDITERRANEAN STORY

When the Saleh family immigrated to the United States in the 1970s to escape civil war and to pursue educational opportunities, they brought with them their passion for bread and, most importantly, their mother’s secret recipes. With help from an uncle, a converted pizza oven, and rented space in a Raleigh strip mall, four brothers – and their mother, Cecilia – opened Neomonde Baking Company in 1977. They decided to honor their new country by naming the business Neomonde, or “New World.” Their goal was to make wonderful, handmade bread just like their mother’s.

Starting with just a few types of bread, Neomonde began to gain discerning wholesale customers like The Irregardless Cafe and Harmony Farms. As the Raleigh area grew, so did Neomonde’s customer list and product offerings. In the early 1980s, they moved from the small storefront space to their own building on Beryl Road.

In 1989, the Saleh brothers expanded Neomonde in another positive direction by opening the restaurant portion of the business. All their menu items were prepared each day by hand from family recipes using only authentic ingredients, most of it made by Cecilia herself. At first, their food was only available for take-out, but eventually the brothers added a dining area and patio seating to keep up with their ever-expanding popularity of loyal, healthy-minded customers. Regulars began to ask where they could shop for their own healthy ingredients to use at home. To answer this ever-growing demand from their restaurant friends, Neomonde launched a small Mediterranean grocery where customers could purchase all the ingredients and spices to prepare healthy dishes in their own kitchens.

Restaurant: The options available are tasty but not outstanding. Chicken kabobs are very good. On weekdays, they're worth the wait.On weekends, I have found long wait times just to order. Not unusual, BUT,Once they get to me, they seem impatient /not helpful, and give no indication of how long my FURTHER wait time will be.Grocery/Cold items: so-so selection. What they Do have is Fresh.. The Good pita bread, lebne, and olives are my faves. Sometimes olive oil or sweets.Be AWARE: the fresh Kalamata Olives' juice may drip through the lid/seal. They are Very Good olives though 🙂.
Really good Mediterranean food. Delicious!! Love the Friday salmon platter!
The process of how you get your food is slightly confusing. Maybe an order here sign would help the establishment. They hand your plate to you before you pay while you're still waiting in line. This is odd. One of the meals that had to be prepared was a chicken shawarma sandwich. The order was mixed up with someone else's food. After fixing the mixup and finally trying the chicken shawarma, I was disappointed to see there was almost nothing else within the sandwich besides chicken. I have had many chicken shawarma sandwiches/wraps and this thing represented more of a basic chicken salad. Perhaps they mixed up this order as well with someone else's? The baklava that came with the meal was the size of a small index finger. Why even mention this on the menu? It's a let down.
I hired Neomonde to cater two back-to-back parties I was hosting this June (for 75 and 25 people, respectively.) I chose them because I have always liked their food and they were recommended by a friend whose event Neomonde catered back in 2020.Neomonde did an excellent job, and they will be my go-to caterer if I need one in the future.First (and no surprise) the food was excellent and my guests raved about it. The buffet presentation was lovely too.In addition, the catering manager Saida was a delight to work with, and made everything as easy as possible for me. This included suggesting great options on a tasting menu, helping me figure out how much food to order, answering my many questions about logistics (ice, buffet space and set up, how much wine/beer to have, sustainable utensils, gluten-free options, etc etc etc), and managing the set up and tear down of the buffet and packaging all the leftovers for me (yum.) Saida’s support was especially helpful to me as I had never hosted events of that size or complexity before.I highly recommend Neomonde!
Delicious vegetarian options! Loved watching for trains while eating our (amazing) falafels. Also highly recommend the orange and white chocolate baklava.
Service staff doesn't seem to care
The food is very delicious
Absolutely amazing food. We love going here.
The food appears to be prepared fresh. It was okay. They were understaffed, so there was a long wait time.
Great food, excellent flavor, it might take a bit to get your food, but it is worth it.
