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.

I liked the pita with 2 sides. You can see the sides and pick what you like
Amazing food. Went to meet friends for on their suggestion. Glad they did. Got 3 different Kabobs and 2 sides. All excellent.
Neomonde is one of our favorite restaurants in Raleigh, so it was an easy choice to work with their catering team for our wedding.From the very beginning, Saida (the catering manager) and her team were an absolute dream — kind, responsive, incredibly easy to work with, and full of thoughtful, professional guidance. Saida's recommendations were spot-on, and she brought such warmth and care to the entire process.Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and served right on time. From the appetizers to the main course, everything was fresh and colorful. Our guests were raving about the food all night — we heard over and over again how much they loved the variety.Beyond the food itself, the service was seamless and the staff brought a calm, joyful energy to the day that made everything run smoothly. Neomonde delivered more than a meal; they delivered a moment — one that reflected the love, culture, and community we wanted to share with our guests.If you’re looking for a caterer who brings heart, excellence, and flavor to your wedding, Neomonde is it. We’re so grateful we chose them!
The original in Raleigh is much better than this one. The food isn't presented as nicely. Their dessert selection isn't as numerous. The staff isn't as friendly. And you have to pay for street parking. When I was getting my food, the young woman was more interested in her phone than serving me.
Fantastic food EVERY SINGLE TIME. Lots of vegetarian options!
Favorite counter service spot 🙂 I got out of my way to stop at a NeoMonde whenever I’m in Durham. I recommend the falafel, mjadarah, & cabbage delight
Food was fantastic, honestly I had too much baklava.
Food is top notch
Everything is scratch made. Hummus was delicious and chicken kabob was tender and very flavorful.
Amazing food. We tried the falafel (probably one of the best falafels I’ve ever had), the kebab, manouesh, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, and more… safe to say it’s a flavorful 10/10! Would definitely recommend for some good eats
