I had the chance to check out Saladelia Café during their soft opening, and it was seriously awesome. Owner Feda’s super friendly vibe made me feel right at home as soon as I walked in—so welcoming and clearly really passionate about bringing fresh Mediterranean flavors to the community.
The menu was pretty great, with lots of tasty options, and everything I tried was really fresh and thoughtfully made. The chicken salad was super flavorful and filling but still light, which was perfect. Their tiny dessert bites were a cute touch—small, pretty, and full of flavor without being too sweet.
Gotta mention their coffee, too—it was rich, smooth, and locally sourced, which shows their commitment to quality and supporting the community. The staff was really kind and attentive, taking time to explain the dishes, making the whole experience feel even more personal.
The location is super convenient, making it a great spot for a quick, fresh, tasty bite without any hassle. French Beef Panini was sooo good I gave Feda a hug for the win!
Overall, Saladelia Café is starting off really strong. Friendly service, delicious food, and a cozy vibe—I’m excited to see this place become a go-to spot for locals.

A Hidden Gem in Durham for Mediterranean Cuisine
This place is hands down one of the best food spots in Durham! The food is consistently outstanding, with a wide array of options to cater to vegetarians and those with other dietary preferences. Whether you're craving something fresh, flavorful, or indulgent, they've got you covered.
Their desserts? Always a hit! Every single time, they hit that perfect balance of sweet and just the right amount of decadence.
We've also ordered platters for events multiple times, and they never disappoint. The variety and quality are top-notch, making it the perfect choice for gatherings.
If you’re in the area, it’s a must-try!

We ordered 58 boxed salad lunches from Saladelia for a company-sponsored lunch, and everything was excellent. Delivery was on time, and the friendly staff handled the setup seamlessly. Each item was clearly labeled, making distribution easy. The portions were generous, the food was fresh and delicious, and everyone loved their lunch. Highly recommend!

We were next door having our windshield chip repaired and i waited till it was finished and decided to get something to eat. Saladelia was fantastic! I got tuna on sourdough (the softest i ever had) bread. The only downside is that they do not accept cash. But i just used my credit card. If you do not mind using your CC... Then i highly recommend Saladelia!
Btw.. they have Gluten free options as well.

Best lunch food ever! A MUST eat at or order from. Fast service. Food almost whimsical yet luxurious. Kinda I don't deserve this. Best ingredients. Great recipes. Wonderful array of choices and combination options. Loved spinach pie and Greek dishes and desserts. Insanely affordable.

Preferred Saladelia before they moved to this new location. Food quality has gone down hill. Chicken salad tasted gross. Feta bowtie pasta salad was over cooked. Seating is mostly outside and it was a windy day...and I have long hair which I prefer not to eat with my meal! 3 stars is probably being generous...

A cute lunch option. Light Mediterranean fare. We tried the falafel and gyro wraps which were very tasty. We also had a trio of mezze, which was pleasant. The baklava was OK, I personally prefer the syrup drenched kind, this one was on the dry side.
I do wish there was more variety of the mezze and entrees available.

One of the best chicken salad sandwiches I've had in a while! Everyone is also very sweet.

Saladelia has fresh food, lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Not authentic Mediterranean cuisine by any means. Tabouli tasted like it had pickle juice in it, Greek salad had very hard fried pita "croutons" that detracted from the salad, the feta was in two big slabs rather than sprinkled over the salad, and the dressing was a very sour mustard dressing which was not good.
Service is excellent, fast and efficient. Small seating area inside and large covered eating area outside, but who wants to eat in the cold if winter? Prices were fairly high as well. I ate there twice to try different foods and was disappointed both times, so I would not eat here again. There are many much better options on Chapel Hill Boulevard.

I absolutely love stumbling upon hidden gems when traveling! Saladelia definitely did not disappoint. Friendly staff and the chicken kebab, kale salad and hummus were amazing.
