Our History

Welcome to Nils Mediterranean Cuisine, where tradition, passion, and fresh flavors come together in the heart of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina.

As a family-owned restaurant rooted in over 30 years of culinary experience, our journey began in Istanbul, Türkiye—where food is a way of life and every meal is a celebration. At Nils, we bring the essence of modern Mediterranean cooking to your table, crafting every dish with fresh, wholesome ingredients and a deep respect for the Mediterranean diet.

We don’t just cook for our guests—we eat the same meals we serve. Every plate reflects our dedication to consistency, health, and flavor, prepared with love and from the heart. Whether you’re enjoying a light, nourishing lunch or a vibrant dinner full of bold spices and bright herbs, you’ll taste the passion behind every bite.

Come join us and experience what makes Nils Mediterranean Cuisine a beloved gathering place for our community—where food feeds the body, and hospitality feeds the soul.

We pride ourselves on only using fresh ingredients daily and preparing all meals fresh per order that we serve...We are mostly using local companies for our ingredients... We are cooking our all dishes with love...
