Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe – Cary

This Taziki’s is on O’Kelly Chapel Road, right on the Cary and Morrisville border in Parkside Commons Shopping Center, next to Target and Harris Teeter. It is off 540 and Highway 55 and only minutes from Research Triangle Park, so it picks up a lot of the lunch traffic from the park.

You can eat on the spacious outdoor patio or in the indoor dining room, and catering is a real part of the business at this location. Catering orders can be placed online, and there is a menu to download before you decide.
