“Excellent, creative menu. I’m GF and the flatbread option is delicious. Hummus is fantastic as were the brussels. Eclectic drink options. Great service. I’ll be back!“

“Today was my first time here and I came with friends and my 5 year old son. We had the pleasure of being waited on by Sebastian! He was extremely patient with my son and went the extra mile with his food recommendations and making it kid-friendly. He also noticed which sauces I seemed to like the most and brought one that did not originally come with my meal. The food and atmosphere as wonderful in itself, but Sebastian made our first time here one to be remembered! Thank you to him!!“

“Another great restaurant by Cedar and Lee. We've been here twice in the past month after making the good decision to come here for a birthday celebration. The food is a bit pricey, but honestly, I don't mind - compared to times I've spent money on food that isn't worth it, this is far better!The staff are friendly and helpful - Ishmael was our first waiter and had great recommendations (can't remember our second guy, but he was great, too!). We've had the moussaka, filet mignon kebabs, an assortment of hot and cold appetizers, and some great desserts. The entree's are generously portioned, cooked perfectly medium rare, and not overwhelmingly seasoned. The feta and olive appetizer is probably our favorite app - so fresh! I also recommend their sangria - they mentioned they soak the fruit in the wine, and it's so good!This place is a must-visit for great food, ambiance, and apps. Can't recommend enough!“

“Wonderful food very tasty.“

“Wonderful food and incredible owner.“

“This place is great, warm friendly inviting. Excellent food. Lindsay and every single person behind that line is absolutely fantastic. There are days I go in that restaurant dragging from working super long days. I look forward to the food because it’s so comforting and nourishing aside from that each person is just beautiful warm friendly, inviting. I look forward to just walking through the line and having that experience interacting briefly with them. It’s a great way to end my day. I remember growing up in Shaker as a child and there being a Bob’s big boy on the corner where Wendy’s is and Draggers ice cream over where Walgreens is now located. Draggers was a special place my mom used to take me and my sister, I have still have the fondest of. memories. Brassica fills me with that same welcoming kind experience I had before this area was known as the Van Aken District. Thank you for being so fantastic.“

“Ordered my food online and it said 20 min pick up my drive was 18 min and as I walked in the guy behind the counter asked "Steven?" which told me 2 things 1 these guys pay attention to the details of each customer and that the food was going to be amazing and I wasn't disappointed. I got a chicken and a beef shawarma and they were both top notch and they don't use the same seasonings on both which was nice. The sauce and pickles that came with it were absolutely perfect pairing. I ordered 3 desserts a pistachio cake which was moist and perfectly sweet. A chocolate moouse cake that was decadant and rich. The tirimisu was perfect however. The ladyfingers on bottom were just perfectly saturated with expresso and it was the highlight of my meal 10/10“

“I LOVE this family owned business in Ohio City! The young lady at the counter encouraged me to try their baba (because I really hate it everywhere else I’ve had it) and it was INCREDIBLE. Everything on this menu is fresh, flavorful and intentional - there’s no way to go wrong.“

“This is a great gem. I got the Loubie beans which have the perfect amount of heat to them. I've had loubie other places which don't add a bit of heat. These are by far the BEST Loubie I've ever had!!! You have to try them!The beet root hummus was delicious.I also got a container of Labneh, which was delish.Great place for lunch. The gentleman who took care of me was helpful with my selections!“

“Great place for date night. Sitting at the bar gives you a front row seat to extraordinary food prep.. I tried to take pics as they prepared without them getting annoyed with me, but everything looked so amazing I wanted to take pics to share here.The menu is not standard, think the likes of Zhug but with more than tapas, some pretty fascinating meals.Definitely a recommended stop in your foodie journey of Cleveland“
