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.

Delicious ethnic food and very friendly staff.
The food here is always fresh and delicious! Excellent place to also pick up Mediterranean grocery items all in one visit!
Great food!
Every bite was totally different from the one before... wow... I have never experienced Mediterranean cuisine in such a way. Everything was delicious and spiced to perfection. The spices may not connect with every American taste, but for people that are foodies and like to travel and experience different cuisine, this is the place. I must add it is also completely affordable. In 2024 the 2 side platter with 3 chicken kebobs was only 13.99. I think, I can come to this place 100 times and never have the same dish. Amazing!
Really cute place. The food is amazing, perfectly flavored. You feel like you traveled to another world without leaving the States.
Great place for Med food & good prices too. I had the beef & lamb shawarma platter.
This was my first time at Neomonde. I didn't expect it to be a store inside. The food was really good and seasoned well. Ordered a chicken schwarma, pomegranate salad, and hummus. Everything was so good🤤🤤
Favorite mediterranean spot in Raleigh, great value and their spicy fries are delicious
The Neomonde plate is one of the best meals in downtown Durham! Everything is fresh and delicious.
