Sassool

Sassool brings Lebanese hospitality to Cary with a fast-casual cafe and market where guests browse a gleaming deli case before ordering at the counter. The family-owned concept traces its recipes to matriarch Cecilia “Sassool” Saleh, and the Kildaire Farm Road location keeps her legacy alive with freshly baked pita, bright salads, and spice-market staples to take home.

Regulars mix and match the Pick-4 Sampler of sides such as mujadara, sweet potato salad, and tabouli, or build plates around falafel, kabobs, and shawarma carved for Mediterranean Family Meal bundles designed to feed a crowd. Daily chef specials like stuffed eggplant and curry chicken add variety, while the team’s produce-driven approach keeps vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diners well covered.

Sassool’s vibrant menu earned it Best Mediterranean Restaurant and Best Healthy Dining Options in Cary Magazine‘s 2025 Maggy Awards, plus an honorable mention for Best Restaurant for Specialty Diets. Guests count on speedy takeout, full-service catering, and friendly guidance from staff who know the menu down to every mezze bite.
