Asia Market

Durham, NC Grocery Stores 12/16/08: 'nice market with extensive product lines'

I shopped here once when looking for some specific items for new recipes. They had everything I needed and then some. The store was neatly organized, clean, and the staff was pleasant. I also like the convenient location on 15-501.

Sal's Pizza & Italian Restaurant-RTP

We got some pizza from this place even though I didn't go inside, I was asking about where it was from because I had to know the name of the place. It was a square pizza and the cheese was absolutely delicious. The crust was excellent too. I had been all too disappointed with other pizza places in town, but this place convinced me that there is hope.

The Historic Powhatan Resort

Williamsburg, VA Vacation Rentals 12/15/08: 'great resort with tons of amenities'

My parents took us with them for their timeshare with RCI. This rooms were really nice with all that you would love to have in a room. There was so much to do just onsite that you really didn't have to leave if you didn't want to other than get your groceries. I wasn't too interested in the planned activities, but we never really participate in those when we go on vacation anyway. I really loved all the pools, playground, green areas great for taking walks, etc. There's just too much to list! I definitely would like to go back to this place and would highly recommend it.

Greek Fiesta

Morrisville, NC Restaurants - Morrisville, NC Greek Restaurants 12/15/08: 'excellent alternative to traditional mall court fare!'

I went here once and was quite pleased with the quality of the food and service. My chicken was nicely seasoned and my salad was very fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Philly Steak Factory

Durham, NC Steakhouse Restaurants 12/15/08: 'nice sub shop'

My family likes to come here when we're shopping at New Hope Commons. My husband loves it there, but I'm not too impressed. I'm spoiled coming from NJ as I haven't found anything comparable to up there. The service is always great and there is a good selection of sandwiches and drinks.

Dodson Pest Control

Durham, NC Pest Control 12/15/08: 'didn't help at all'

Our former complex used this company. They used to use Terminix, but switched to them. We had a major problem there and moved because of it. Their sprays and baits didn't so much as put a dent in the problem. When they did a fogging which was supposed to be a more intensive treatment, right after it was over, nothing was dead at all. I wouldn't recommend them.

Casablanca Market

Cary, NC Food Stores - Cary, NC Butcher Shops - Cary, NC Ethnic Markets 12/15/08: 'freshest halal/thabiha meats in the triangle!'

My husband works in Cary and told me about this new store. He wasn't to thrilled with the other halal meat markets in the area so he wanted to check out this place. They have a limited selection, but what they do have is of excellent quality. The ground beef is the freshest I've ever seen. Even when we lived in NJ with plenty of halal meat stores, we didn't see it this good. The beef cubes have very little fat and are of an excellent color and tenderness. The chicken doesn't have even a hint of that questionable 'maybe it might be going bad' scent we have all had when we open up our bag of meat. We noticed this even after I forgot to freeze the meat initially and left it in the fridge. I've had meat from other stores where we had that questionable whiff literally as soon as we got home and put it on the counter to put away.

One thing to note is that their bagging system needs work because we always have leaks in the fridge or on the counter after coming home so you may want to double bag in your vehicle and/or counter after coming home.

Overall, I recommend this place to anyone who asks about fresh halal/thabiha meats in the Triangle area.

Biryani House

We went here for a date night. The food was good, but the atmosphere wasn't too great. The huge TV screen with the Bollywood music videos was more than enough to kill the mood. The prices were pretty reasonable so we'll probably come back eventually, but we prefer Taste of India in Durham.

V S Rich Property Svc

Durham, NC Property Management Companies 12/15/08: 'okay property management company'

We looked at some of the houses they had available, but didn't rent anything. I wasn't too impressed. The condition of the homes didn't seem to be fit to be seen. The staff seemed to be pleasant enough.

Real Estate Associates Durham Property Management North Carolina Apartments NC

I haven't rented with this company so I can only use my experience as someone looking at some of their properties. There was a nice townhouse we were interested in, but decided on something different. We also saw another place that was so-so. It seems like they don't have the properties ready for tenants to move in while they are showing it to you. This makes it hard to know if you want to rent it or not. Also, there was a house that was on their website for quite awhile and there were still tenants inside going through eviction. I was a bit peeved that it took so long to actually see it and it wasn't worth the wait. It was also hard to get in touch with someone who could answer any questions that may come up after you get the keys. It was only one person and if she didn't get back to you, nobody else could help.
