Neomonde Mediterranean Durham

Came in today for lunch, the lass behind the counter made eye contact and turned around to continue prepping something. We were the only people in line to order. Her coworker nudged her so we could order, she persisted doing something (he wasn't doing anything and said he couldn't help us) and then took several minutes to turn around and engage us. We waited for 10 minutes. I asked a basic question about the WF (wheat free) tags being different than what they show online (which is GF Gluten Free, and not the same thing, I'm Celiac) and she just kept saying I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what that is. It was awful. It was disheartening and I was embarrassed, we turned around and left.

My daughter is gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian, and it has been wonderful finding a place where our whole family can eat with lots of options. We have been three times for dinner in the last month, and while we like some items better than others, everything has been good and some items are fantastic. I really enjoy the kafta, the Lebanese cabbage salad, the mjadarah, and the salmon (Valentine's special - please put it on the menu!). The employees have been on top of things and the restaurant was clean. I did get the steak skewer once, and while it was good, it was precooked and hot held making it not as juicy as it would have been fresh. Also, the food comes with pita bread but you may have to ask for it. It has never been offered to us but it was given to us when we asked.

Great food and atmosphere, lots of gluten free items
