I tried both the beef and chicken shawarma at Taste of Levant Food Truck in Apex and loved them both. The homemade taste really stands out, and in my opinion, it beats all other shawarma places in RTP. The best part is the price: great taste with reasonable pricing and 100% halal. I definitely recommend it and will be going back again.

Braved the cold night and ate at Levant, and it was well worth it. Wow. Wow. Wow. Can I just say it’s the best most authentic middle eastern food ever?! We ate shawarma, falafel wrap, cheese rolls, mussakhan, homemade grape leave dolma, and tabbouleh. we loved it so much! They have tables and chairs to eat at. The owners are also the sweetest! Don’t think twice, this food truck is an absolute gem!

This place is absolutely amazing. The best and most authentic middle eastern food in North Carolina 100% The chicken shawarma was so good I took one bite and yelled “damn!” I came around closing time and got my food within ten minutes of ordering. They even hooked it up with free rice because it was late in the day. The haloumi bites were a great side. Absolutely Amazing I will be back and ordering the grape leaves as well next time. Pt.2: Came back for the meat shawarma and the grape leaves. This time I actually waited to take a picture before taking a bite of the shawarma. The meat was juicy and tender. It was truly amazing! The grape leaves were splendid as well. This place always hits the spot!

Wow this was the best meal I had in a while. Everything was sooo fresh, you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. Apex is lucky y'all have this, I can't wait to go back. The rice in the shawarma plate was my favorite, soooo flavorful! The kibbeh and cheese rolls were so so good, musakhan was amazing, the grape leaves literally perfect. Generous portions too. Me and my bestie ate it in the car while screaming the whole time, it was the best part of the day. The family who runs truck this is super kind, shout out to y'all, thank you!

I just moved to NC and I am so glad I found this truck! I really missed the flavors of authentic, halal, middle eastern food. The food was fresh fresh (yes I meant to put that twice) so flavorful, and delicious! I will make the 20 min drive from work or 40 min drive from home with no problem just to eat here! The people there are so kind and their service is amazing. Edit: Sorry no pics of the food. We dug in right away. Order: Chicken Kabsa, Kibbeh, Cheese rolls

Authentic cuisine and great service! I stopped by after a long day, and I ordered grape leaves, the shawarma platter with tabbouleh. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing! I highly recommend you check them out!

I’ve gone a total of five times. Each time trying something new! This is the type of food that makes you feel at home. It takes me back to when I was younger, growing up in a rich-cultured household, where we would sit at a table as a family and eat every night after my father came home from work. Passing dishes around from one sibling to another telling stories and laughing. The Shawarma sandwiches are as authentic as it gets. I tried the beef/lamb annd also the chicken Shawarma. Each bite better than the last. The falafel is second to none. The authenticity of the Kabseh platter is an experience of its own. I could go on and on. But what really brings me back the warm welcome and incredible customer service experience. These people have a true knack and talent. This is what you want from someone making your food. People who love what they do, know what they’re doing, and confident in their ability to provide the best quality recipes. Surely they gained a customer for life! And I will Continue to bring my wife and children back here so we can share experiences and make more memories.

Delicious fresh food! Very nice people. Both chicken and meat shawarma sandwiches were great. The rice chicken shawarma plate was very generous and tasty especially with the yummy garlic sauce. The vine leaves, tabbouleh, cheese rolls, falafel and musakhan were all super good just like homemade. Will definitely be back.
