This is exactly the empanada I’ve always wanted!!! I got a chicken and a vegetarian (Yukon gold) empanada with the garlic kale side and every single bite was delicious. We had a reservation, but I think we would have been fine without it. The inside is so cool and relaxing, plus our server, Noah, was super quick and friendly! We will definitely be back, would be a great place to bring out of town guests to explore Durham!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Luna is in my top restaurants in the triangle. The food is consistently wonderful, service is just right, and somehow it is casual enough for a weeknight takeout but also special enough for a birthday dinner.

I went to Luna yesterday and really enjoyed my experience. I ordered the quarter white with kale slaw and Idaho fries and the chicken was so juicy and tender. Our server was also very friendly and attentive which made the experience even better. The ambience of the restaurant was nice, calm, and comfortable. I would definitely go back!
