    Sitti continues to be our go-to restaurant in Raleigh before concerts at Meymandi, Memorial Hall, or Fletcher. Service was prompt, especially when we mentioned our need to get to a concert. Food was very good. Chicken and beef/lamb shawarma were both excellent served plated with rice and some veggies. Falafel and salad were very fresh and tasty. Complementary pita was a great accompaniment. Many gluten free and dairy free options are available. We’ll most definitely be back again soon.

    Hi Lois, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're happy to hear that your service and food were exceptional. Will share your feedback with our staff, i'm sure it will put a smile on their faces. Have you tried any of our desserts as yet? If you want a treat to save for after the concert, try the Baklava, it travels well and is absolutely delicious!

    We took advantage of restaurant week and had a lovely meal. The food was top notch, starting with the addictive and glorious pitas! Everything was delicious (my husband and I sampled each other's courses as well - so glad we did!). Ran out of room for dessert but it was a nice treat to take home for later. Definitely recommend.
    SittiResponded on February 1, 2025
    Wow Tracy! We appreciate your feedback and love to hear that you not only were a first timer but also that you got to try our exclusive restaurant week menu. We take pride and value preparing food fresh for our guests and honored that our homemade fresh pita was a favorite for you. Which items did you try on our restaurant week menu? Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and we hope to see you soon next time you're downtown!

    A great birthday night for my wife. We had a large group of 8 and got a very nice table that sat us all comfortably but was cozy enough for conversation. We got there a few minutes late and they sat our guests that arrived before us without any trouble. The drinks and food were wonderful. We had a great time!
    SittiResponded on February 1, 2025

    Service attentive, not proactive. Stuffed grape leaves divine, also rice with slivered almonds. Enjoyable not divine.

    The baba ganoush is the best we’ve had. The pita was amazing. Also loved the non-alcohol options of cocktails. It was a great option for “dry January “.

    Overall disappointing. Sloppy service, unexciting food presented in an unimaginative way. Airport dining lounge vibe. Won’t be going back for any reason.

    Hi Stephen, thank you for taking the time to give us feedback about your experience with us. Definitely not one we'd hope. We apologize that your experience was anything less than amazing. We hope you will give us another chance to show you a true Sitti experience.
