So delicious! I had the Crete pita with falafel and a side of lemon/basil couscous, and it was so good! The owner is so nice, and the little shopping center is like a community. You can get some exotic flavored tea next door and have your food and drinks on the patio. We will definitely go again next time we visit Ocracoke!

Best customer service I got anywhere we went in Ocracoke! Very friendly helpful staff and the food was delicious and healthy with generous portions. It’s nice to get away from the fried food everywhere else. The outdoor seating was pretty. The only downsides is that like many other places in Ocracoke in summer, there are salt marsh mosquitoes around the outside of the building if you decide to eat there, so wear repellant, and the prices of the food are high, just like all the other island restaurants.

We stopped for lunch between ferry rides from Cedar Island and on the way to Hatteras and then Virginia. WOW. Everything sounded so good that we ordered twice as much food as we needed and ate it all day long during the long trip. We ordered a pizza made with local figs, a wrap that included beef shwarma, lemon thyme Greek potatoes, red pepper hummus and pita, and the Helios salad. The best hummus and pita I’ve ever had. We dipped the roasted potatoes in the lemon tahini dressing from the delicious feta-walnut-grape-apricot and greens salad, and omg that pizza. I was in Ocracoke for 3 short hours but I will remember the fantastic cooking from Helios Hideaway for years to come.

Stopped in for a quick meal with zero expectations before hopping on the ferry. Ended up having one of the best meals of my life. Can’t recommend enough!

We made it to Helios’ Hideaway 30 minutes before they closed, but our party of five was met with warmth and we didn’t feel rushed at all. I had high expectations based on the reviews, yet the food still surpassed those. The pita was chewy and fresh (wish we’d gotten more!), the chicken in our pitas was flavorful, the lettuce and other produce crisp and fresh, and the bite I had of my daughter’s Icarus salad with fig vinaigrette was shockingly good. Great hummus and baba ganoush, too. Husband and daughter loved the couscous with lemon and basil. The flavors of everything really stayed with me for the rest of the day. Service was among the best I’ve had anywhere. The location, tucked away in a charming little shopping center (for lack of a better word), was wonderful – we loved the outdoor seating by the live oak. So grateful they stay open in the off season so we could enjoy it. It’s a gem in an already magical place, and we’re eager to return!
