Best Family Style Restaurants in Durham

a very special meal and a great night of food and friends

I am a huge fan of MPocha! This time, though, I’d say there weren’t as many vegetarian options on the menu as usual. And much of the food is too spicy - go easier on the peppers.

Great place to eat before a show at DPAC. The food is good, but table service always feels a little rushed (most likely because most folks are trying to get to the show. We ate here last night and advised our waiter we were in no rush and asked to put our apps in first and wait for our dinner order. The waiter insisted that we put the app and dinner order in together that way it would be timed out correctly. As we were eating the apps, the expo person kept looking over at our table waiting to bring the dinner. They came and cleared the app plates and brought our dinner at the same time. Will also note there were plenty of open tables, so we were not holding up anyone from getting a seat.

This was our 2nd night in a row to dine at Juju's, we were greeted again promptly by the same Hostess from the first night ( hate I didn't get her name again) but this time she greeted me by using my name which was a very important notice for me. Our server tonight was Brea and once again she was fantastic. I asked her about several drinks and dishes which she made great recommendations. Overall experience again great and I look forward to trying yet other dishes.

The server was fantastic and provided great detail on the menu items and made sure that anyone with food allergies knew what not to order. The food was delicious and came out quickly.
