    Wow, this was my wife, and I first experience with Lebanese cuisine. Sitti was amazing. Tonight ambiance was just right for late dinner for 2. We started out with the vegan tasting hummus, fattoush, and I my wifey fall in love with the robust tasty warak anab wrapped with grape leaves. To keep it safe, I ordered the Samkeh Harra it was pan-seared with the flaky bottom on kale. What a peacasterian delight for a great night at Sitti. The servicer was friendly and quick and efficient with our plates. If you are a vegan and vegetarian, I recommend Sitti 5 stars for date night in the heart of downtown Raleigh! It was overall 5 stars experience for the Bishop's!

    I gave ambiance such a low rating only because we were disappointed in not being able to eat in one of the outside spaces you have. We hope the restaurant has not given up service out there. We love the food, but also love eating outside, especially in the covered part when the doors are open. Otherwise, ambiance inside was fine.
