Absolutely the perfect place for a lunch. In an unexpected location just off of 15/501 it is still convenient to shopping but somehow feels secluded. The patio is a really nice touch and is always clean and cozy.
I almost always get the Turkey pesto wrap but the chicken souvlaki is also great and the selection of small items is amazing. It's a Durham staple for me!
Update for new location!
I actually love the convenience of the new location and the patio size is really nice! The food is still just as delicious and the staff is friendly and fast as always!

The food was pretty awesome and reasonably priced. My only complaint was the Felafel was a touch but dry. Outside dining is great. Service was fast and convenient. They don't take cash though. Cards only.

The food is great - I had the Chicken Shawarma.
The evening staff (white and black girl) can be a bit rude. The white girl was handling a customer's phone at the register because his gift card wasn't working, and it was on his phone. When she was done with him, she went to reach for my food. I asked her to let the other girl get the food since she had just finished at the register and was handling a customer's phone. She became offended, and I explained to her that she had just finished handling a customer's mobile phone, and I'm uncomfortable with her handling my food without first washing her hands. She became offended again, and I said, "I think it's a reasonable and standard practice at a restaurant to wash your hands between handling cash or other objects, and then handling food. Mobile phones harbor a lot of germs." She then went to wash her hands and put on gloves while the black girl scooped my hummus. Then, the white and black girl arrived at the station where the food was at the same time and the white girl threw her hands up in the air with her palms spread as if to gesture, "I'm not touching it." I just shook my head at her passive agressiveness.
The black girl steps in any other time when someone is having an issue, but she remained silent this time and gave me the vibe that she was annoyed by my request as well. Restaurant people can be so nasty and are likely the reason that many of us end up with a cold and have no idea how we caught it. They need to remember that they aren't at home making their own food. They're making other people's food and should take cautionary measures to not spread germs. This has been my expectation both before the pandemic and today. Whether it's "C", the flu, or the common cold, it's all the same to me in that it throws off your life and makes you feel miserable for three weeks.

Absolutely delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced food. Saladel!a is my go-to spot when I’m looking for something light & refreshing, and they’ve got plenty of options for heartier entrees too. It’s my favorite spot for Mediterranean food in Durham! They’ve also got a full coffee bar, smoothies, salads, and baked goods. And they do it all so well! So thrilled that we found this place! It’s a regular for us now.
(Also, their outdoor seating is wonderful if you want to bring your dog with you out to eat!)

Fantastic place for a late afternoon lunch. I was very satisfied with my greek chicken wrap. Can't wait to come back and explore their variety of coffee and tea drinks and desserts.

The previous Saladelia location was a friendly place where you meet a friend for coffee/food or order online with curbside delivery. The new location is the opposite. It seems like the focus is on catering and not customers or casual dining. The location is difficult to get to and the only seating is outside. There are not a lot of parking spaces with none marked for online order pickup. I ordered online yesterday and checked the box for curbside pickup but ended up going inside to get my order. The food was okay but not great. There are other Mediterranean restaurants in the area that have indoor seating and curbside pickup so pretty sure that Saladelia won’t be getting any repeat business from me.

All in all good experience. Walking in the atmosphere is very clean and tidy. The cashier was very friendly and helped find what I was looking for on the menu. I appreciate the fact that she acknowledged I was kind of in a rush and got my food out pretty quickly. I ordered the Greek salad no chickpeas add olives and add grilled chicken Togo. I was a little frustrated that the pita points were very well done but I’m assuming they’re supposed to replicate croutons. The salad came in the circular bowl pictured I didn’t love that I had to disassemble and cut everything then reassemble but it was well worth it. The salad is very tasty, fresh, and flavorful. The vinaigrette that came with the salad is delicious. I am a very satisfied customer and will be back to try a sandwich soon. My total was about 16$. This was a dinner salad so very reasonably priced.

I think the food here is great. However, I think it's best to think of this place as a take out place. They no longer have indoor seating and on a really hot and humid day, it's not pleasurable to eat outside even in the shade of the tent. I have the good a 5 but atmosphere a 3.

Partner suggested we try (he's had in years past) and it was delicious! I had the chicken melt and it was divine. Partner had the kabobs with beet salad and tabbouleh. Limited dine in space but larger nice covered outdoor space.

My girlfriend recommended this place and I’m quite impressed. Very affordable and filling, we each got a platter-style entree. The lemon bar is a must-have - probably one of my favorite sweets that I’ve had in recent memory.

Delicious fresh Mediterranean style raw and cooked dishes. The hummus is just wow as is the baklava. I’m making my way around all the salads so still forming an opinion.
The salads so far have interesting ingredients ( as in the couscous) but you may want to season yours as mine was a bit bland.
I am surprised I didn’t see more people there. It is delicious overall for vegan vegetarian and meat eaters alike m. Enjoy!

New location, same great food. My go to is the garden salad with chicken salad on top of it. Perfect everytime! I love the homemade dressing with the crispy pitas.
This is the second time I have tried the order ahead feature on the website and my food was ready and correct when I arrived. I will definitely go again in the near future.
