The food and service was absolutely incredible! Everything was perfect and i will most definitely be returning!!
Wonderful food and service
Terrific; wonderful food.
We've been a number of times and enjoyed our meals. Today we ordered lunch entrees for the first time and are glad we did. We had the Chicken Artichoke and the Samkeh (salman) Harra. Both were excellent. We try to stay away from bread but it was impossible with their fresh baked pitas and olive oil. William, our server, was very personable and enhanced our dining experience.
Hello and thanks so much for your great review! We are so happy you enjoyed your experience! William is a new member of our team and I will be sure to reward him for your praises. Hope to see you back again soon!
always like this restaurant but we had early reservations and when got there we were taken to the very back of the restaurant, there were only 2 other people in the restaurant! Told the hostess we wanted to sit in the front area, we were then taken to a table right in the sun, again, not good, so I took a seat at a table and just told the hostess this was where we wanted to sit. It finally worked out but thought it was crazy that we had to go thru a lot to get a decent table
My family and I went here for my Birthday dinner. It was our first time. I don’t eat meat but I found enough for me to eat and the cocktails were great! It was very good! We will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your visit with us!
My husband and I were in from out of town and we are beyond upset that we can't make Sitti a regular destination for eating or taking out, being many many states away! We had a fantastic meal from start to finish, ordering almost a dozen dishes (mostly starters and sides, but a tasting entree as well--and dessert!!) and loving them all. I have Celiac Disease and was comforted by the staff's knowledge as well as the huge variety of naturally gluten-free options. I went "off-menu" with my drink, combining the house-made nonalcoholic lemon drink with tequila, and it was fantastic. Absolutely loved this restaurant. Well done!
We had the most wonderful time! Our waiter, Josh, gave helpful onsite on wines and food as it was our first time here. We loved being able to try new foods and learn a bit about Lebanese culture. Will absolutely return!
In short: The food is amazing, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere is perfect. Have a meal at this restaurant- you won't be dissapointed.
The food is fabulous, and the staff is outstanding!
Always look forward to coming back to Sitti. One of my favorites in Raleigh. Interesting takes on Mediterranean dishes. Fresh ingredients and great flavors. Great cocktails also.
Amazing food - always top flight staff - great ambiance - always a pleasure!
Food was top notch...
Awesome food, awesome staff ...perfect. Very tasty Mediterranean/ Lebanese food.

It was my husbands birthday . Fried cauliflower was not cooked well.
I couldn’t have enjoyed my dining experience more! Absolutely delicious meal, in a wonderful outdoor (and appropriately distanced from other dining tables) courtyard. Service was professional, energetic and knowledgeable! I highly recommend!
Thank you so much Amy! I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience so much :) We hope to have you back again soon for another round of delicious food, drinks, and great service!
Delicious birthday dinner. Great service. Most delicious cocktail I've had in a long time.
We are so happy that we could help you to celebrate your birthday and bring a memorable moment into your life! Thank you for choosing Sitti!
The patio outside was wonderful. The tables were spaced far apart and the space was really pretty. The food was, as always, delicious.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed your time here, and thankful that you appreciate and noticed our socially distanced dining spaces! We take the precautions very seriously and wish to keep everyone as safe as possible! Thank you for choosing Sitti and we hope to have you back again soon!

The food was excellent. The service was entertaining but not invasive. Mathew was attentive to our needs and paced our food in a timely fashion.
I'm so happy to hear that Mathew added such a great aspect to your dining experience here! Thank you for joining us and we hope to see you again!
Sitti is an excellent dining choice in DT Raleigh. I recently visited and sat on the patio. It was a lovely accompaniment to our delicious food. Very romantic and chill experience.
Thank you Jonathan! So happy to hear that you enjoyed your time here at Sitti! We hope to see you again soon
I love this restaurant! Fresh, delicious food, outstanding service, lovely courtyard, what could be better! The answer is nothing! Celebrated my birthday at Sitti and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. Matt our server is a true professional and made my special day that much more special. I even received a delicious free desert, candle and all! I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.
Thank you so much Steve! We are so happy to have been a part of your special day and hope to see you back here again soon!
Fantastic food and service. Sitti never disappoints.
Great as always! The Lebanese Reds were good and the lamb chops were perfect. Highly recommend the bacon covered dates.
Sitti is one of my favorite restaurants so I was happy to see that it was open for dinner during the pandemic. It hasn’t missed a beat!
Always amazing food & service - in all my dining here, I have yet to be disappointed!
Really wonderful atmosphere. Although we were running behind due to weather, they still honored our reservation! Food was spectacular and we were not rushed.
Thank you Sherry for the honest and positive review of your time here at Sitti! We are so happy you enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you again!
Food was good, nothing to write home about. Restuarant was cold and drafty and we were not sitting anywhere near the front door. Our server Matt did a good job taking of us. Will try the restaurant again in warmer weather and see how it goes.
Thank you for the honest feedback, I hope you join us again soon
Great food and drinks. Waiter was awesome. Service was quick. Will definitely go back.
Thank you Scott for the time you took to review Sitti! We are so glad you enjoyed yourself and can't wait to have you back at our table
Valentines Day celebration
We went To celebrate Valentine’s Day. We were seated immediately with our reservation. The place looked clean and the tables were spaced apart. The food was great, especially the hummus dip trio. The drinks were good and our server was very attentive. If you like Mediterranean food this place is a must
Took my girlfriend there for an early Valentine's Day dinner and we loved it. The cocktails and seafood were great to start dinner and the waiter helped us choose our entrees. I got the lab chops and it was one of the best meals I've ever had.
The décor is cool and the restaurant is fairly quiet. There were people in suits and other people in polos so there isn't really a set way to dress.
I loved Sitti and will 100% go back.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a great review! We really appreciate the support and hope to see you again soon!
