Albaraka Mediterranean Market & Grill

Albaraka Mediterranean Market & Grill pairs a halal grocery with a made-to-order kitchen. The grill turns out shawarma wraps, rice bowls and grilled kabobs, while the shop carries halal meat and butcher cuts, Mediterranean pantry staples, bread and kitchenware. Turkish coffee is also on the menu.

The business has been run by the same family since 2003, when founder Mahir Habta started it as a small family project. Dine-in, takeout and online ordering are all available, and the meat is 100% halal-certified. Meals are cooked to order, so pickup is quick. The store is on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, and catering is available.
