    Overall disappointing. Sloppy service, unexciting food presented in an unimaginative way. Airport dining lounge vibe. Won’t be going back for any reason.

    Enjoyed our evening with friends - shared some great dips, warm pita, cocktails and delicious meals. We had the chicken artichoke and chicken schwarma. Both were flavorful and very tender. Service was just ok - they may have been short staffed that evening because our waiter seemed flustered and rushing around. Wasn’t horrible but also wasn’t great.
    SittiResponded 6 days ago
    Hey Mimi, thanks a bunch for your review. You had two of my favvvs - Chicken artichoke and Chicken Shawarma, so delicious! So happy to hear that you enjoy them just as much as I do. Will share your review with our kitchen staff, put some smiles on their faces for a job well done. Sincerest apologies for the service. Will share your feedback with servers. Your review makes us aware of areas we can improve in. So sorry to hear that your experience was not the best all around. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you soon!

    If you are concerned about Mediterranean food, get over it - this place is awesome and has become a staple in Raleigh because of the great food and great service. I highly recommend cruising the cocktail menu - very unique!

    We are long time fans of Sitti from when they opened and almost always have had an excellent experience. December 23 was disappointing. The veggies were good. The fish "special" had little flavor and was unimaginative.
    SittiResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Anne, thank you for your loyalty to Sitti!!!! We value your feedback and are appreciative of you taking the time to give your honest experience. Sadly, we hate that it was not a great one. Reviews like yours gives us the chance to be better. We won't know what to improve without amazing guests like you, telling it to us straight! Thank you for shouting out your previous excellent experiences as well and we hope to see you soon to continue the excellent experiences that know and you deserve!
