Mr. Kofta Mediterranean Diner in Asheboro is absolutely worth the wait! After following them from their food truck days and finally getting in after the recent winter storm closures, we can confidently say it was fantastic. The food is truly scrumptious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—and the portions are very generous for the fair prices (we happily took half of ours home for the next day). The staff were incredibly kind and genuinely grateful, which made the experience even better. And don’t skip the complimentary hot tea—it was some of the best we’ve ever had. Please give them some love; you will NOT regret it!

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.

Tried Mr. Kofta Mediterranean Food and it was excellent. I got the chapli kabob over rice and everything was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and cooked perfectly. To-go service was easy and smooth, and while waiting they even offered a free cup of tea, which was such a nice touch. Great food, great service, and a great experience overall. Will definitely be back.

Both my friend and I are very big fans of Mediterranean/halal food, so we were excited to see one nearby that had such good ratings, a very good menu, and very reasonable prices. We could not have been happier! I got the lamb over rice with pita and my friend got the chicken kebab over rice, both with white sauce, and then green and yogurt sauce on the side. One plate was enough for 1-2 portions depending on how hungry you are, and the prices were so reasonable, especially given the quality. It was so delicious, I wish I lived closer and could visit all the time. Making a decision on what to order was so difficult, everything looked and smelled so wonderful, but we were both very happy. The lamb was cut into smaller pieces, very flavorful and tender. The chicken kebab had these big tender and juicy pieces of chicken. The rice was very well cooked and flavored, and the sauce complimented them perfectly. It did take about 15-20 minutes, but that was no problem, it was a nice place to wait and the food was so fresh. They also offered us complimentary hot tea while we waited and it was so delicious, I would drink it all day if I could. The staff was very kind and especially patient when we took a few minutes to decide what to get. The only thing to consider is that inside there are only 3 2-person tables, which was not a problem at all, but just means there may not be a place to eat in the restaurant if you wanted. It seemed most people were ordering for take out though! Thank you very much for everything, whenever we are in the area I am sure we will come back! Always nice to have a halal restaurant around.
