Here’s a polished review you can post: ⸻ We had a wonderful experience at Constantine’s Restaurant. The mixed kebab was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite tasted fresh and well seasoned. A special thank you to the manager, Mehmet, who was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He made sure everything was just right and created such a warm, friendly atmosphere. His hospitality truly elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended, we will definitely be coming back!
My boyfriend and I came here and OMG AMAZING!! I’d been here before and had to bring him because the food is so good and the staff are so friendly and funny. Sezer waited on us today and he was so accommodating making sure we understood the menu and making amazing recommendations. He gave us delicious Turkish tea after our meal. Overall great experience definitely come here it’s worth driving out of your way for.
I had dinner at Constantine's Restaurant with a large group, and this was my first time eating Turkish food. Our waiter, Hussain provided exceptional service and made some great recommendations. We started off with a bottle of Angora cabernet sauvignon, which was from Turkey. It was very good and I also never had wine from Turkey. They brought a big loaf a bread to the table that was the size of a football. For an appetizer, we started with the Grilled Saganaki Cheese. It was very tasty. For our dinner, we shared the Constantine's Kebab Assortment. It included lamb chops, Kofte, chicken kebab and wings. It was an enormous amount of food and it was nice to be able to try so many of their food options. For dessert, we had the Baklava that was a great way to end the night. I was very impressed with the food and service at Constantine's and it was so wonderful to try Turkish food for the first time. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Menu was so interesting. The food was delicious. The servers were so gracious and helpful and really made an effort for us to enjoy the whole experience. Absolutely would highly recommend and plan to go back and try some more things on the menu.
Wow, just wow! This was a date night so we splurged a little. No regrets. Serefe! We tried a little of everything and nothing disappointed us. The mood, the environment, and the food was what I was hoping for. The cold appetizer sampler was outstanding, the main course even better, and topped off with delicious desert and complimentary coffee and tea. I'd do a sin trying to pronounce everything but would recommend everything! Will return, and thanks for the wonderful evening.
We just had the best meal we’ve experienced in North Carolina since moving here from New Jersey. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was warm, attentive, and clearly takes pride in what they do. Our server, Mehmet, was outstanding—kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu. His recommendations were spot-on and made the experience even better. As for the food, it completely exceeded expectations. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and served at the perfect temperature. We ordered the hummus, Greek salad, kebab assortment platter, lahmacun, and kadayif—every single dish was phenomenal. The flavors were vibrant, the portions were generous, and the quality for the price is honestly hard to beat. This is the kind of place that reminds you what dining out should feel like—great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

It was my first time here, and I had the most amazing experience! I love Turkish food, and this restaurant did not disappoint. We ordered their famous pottery kebab and spicy ezme, and everything, from the presentation to the taste, was spectacular. The beef was extremely tender and juicy, which we really enjoyed. Our waiter, a guy named Sezer, was the funniest, kindest, most welcoming person. I also had a great time practicing some of my Turkish with him and others working there. I can't wait to go back!
We had an incredible experience. Hussein was an absolute pleasure, as were the other gentleman working the floor. We felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. The authentic Turkish food and experience were out of this world. Dinner with a show.. what more can one want? The ambience, aromatic atmosphere and flavors are still something to talk about! The endless food options, bar, hot tea and dessert … oh my! Coming here was worth the hour drive.
