“This was our first experience at Artimus. We will definitely return. Our appetizers, meals, and desserts were very flavorful. The portions were right sized for the price. The staff was very welcoming and helpful for first timers. See you soon!“
“Truly 5 stars! Ahmed is so welcoming and the food was fantastic! The freshness and quality are notable in every dish. We enjoyed everything and will definitely visit again soon!Parking: There is a free public parking lot across the street. Plenty of spots available and street parking as well.“
“Highly recommend! Food and drinks were incredible, presented beautifully with amazing flavor. We had the Crispy Falafel, Potato Gnocchi, Short Rib, and finished with the Ricotta & Honey! All dishes were amazing but the Crispy Falafel and Ricotta & Honey were our favorites. Our waiter, Blair, was top notch! Blair gave us background on the menu and restaurant, made recommendations for ordering, and had the most welcoming and kind demeanor. Even provided directions to the place we were headed next! We will be back, can't wait to try more of their menu!“
“We came to celebrate my mom‘s birthday this evening and had a wonderful experience. Our server was very kind and attentive. She made delicious recommendations. There were six of us dining. We started with the Mezze board, whipped ricotta with seasonal fruit (apricots today), and deviled eggs with pickled chorizo. The pita was so warm and we each enjoyed trying the different savory, herbal, and sweet components to our starters. I really appreciated the atmosphere because it allowed our family to talk and catch up. We also ordered and shared two portions each of the Arancini, chicken kebab, and Oishi shrimp. Everything was delicious and I especially loved the preserved lemon flavor in the Oishi dish.“
“Wonderful flavors! Pillowy homemade pitas! Small business. The wait staff was pretty busy, so we sat for a bit. We made a meal of appetizers. The menu has a true name to those of us who don't want to butcher the language name for the foods. Example: cheese pies. It is in a strip mall but don't let that deter you.“
“Great little restaurant. Even has outside dining, when the weather warms up.Parking: Parking is what gives them 4 stars instead of 5. There is some meter parking in front and an extremely small lot behind the restaurant. Then free on street parking in the neighborhood behind them. If you are going at a busy time expect to do laps around to find a place.“
“We came here on a Saturday at 11:30 AM. The food, service and ambiance were top notch. We ordered the Shakshuka, Omelette and 2 Israeli sandwiches to eat. To drink, we got the the carrot and orange juices. Both delicious and freshly squeezed/pressed. The star of the show is the challah bread. Cheers !“
“Had a dope dinner at the aperture on Friday night. The space is super fresh with a nice minimalist touch. Sleek tables and chairs. Loved being able to see into the open kitchen and watch the chef work. Once I saw the wood fired open flame going back there I knew we were in business. Highly recommend getting smoked dishes. We started with the focaccia. It was so light and airy but still crispy. The whipped butter went crazy. The carrot dish was crazy, loved the sauce and char on the carrot. Falafel also great with the eggplant hummus being a highlight. Pasta dish was also good, reminded me a of light and classy alfredo. Service was a bit slow, but hey they just opened. Give this place a chance. Super excited to see what they can do and try new menu items.“
“The grilled chicken burger is one of the best things I have ever eaten. It is not a chicken breast, they grind the chicken there and add these magical spices, then you eat it alllll! Yum! The Nicest people own this grill, too. Very clean, too.“

“7/7/23Long overdue post that I kept forgetting to post….I came here with my husband as we were craving Mediterranean and were in the area.We were greeted immediately upon entry and seated. The waiter brought us water and took our order. I love when a restaurant just gives water as if to encourage people to drink more water. We ordered: appetizer sampler for two which was a generous portion and we enjoyed sampling each various appetizer option. We also ordered pan friend veal liver because we’re crunchy like that and wanted to try it. It’s delicious! Definitely get it! Lastly we had the Adana kebab. Everything was delicious and quickly made. Our waiter Savas was great! We also enjoyed some Turkish coffee and that made our experience even grander. This ambiance is awesome, the service is top tier and so is the food. 10/10 recommend!“
“If you are a big fan of Greek dining then you will not be disappointed. The food was delicious and authentic. We had the fried Feta, which was a bit spicy (red pepper flakes) but the sweet honey did a nice job balancing it out. We also had the Tzatziki with pita and it was delicious. Our entrees were the Moussaka & Kotopoulo Souvlaki. Moussaka was very rich in flavor and it will fill you up. The Kotopoulo (chicken kabob) and the rice was very good. Finally we wrapped it up with the Baklava and it was presented nicely in 3 pieces. It was very good. A very nice evening before heading over to the FCC game!“
“Great value for money ?The place staff was very welcoming despite coming late.Ordered the chicken shawarma, kofta sandwich, and a small hummus. ? ? ?The portions were much much more than anticipated for a great price ???The in house made bread was great to see ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Would recommend to anyone looking for Mediterranean in Cincinnati. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“The owner is so kind and quick with service! My go-to spot for halal food in OTR, everything is fresh and delicious. There have been a couple of occasions where I walked up and there was no one in the building (despite being "open" according to the hours on the window) but I can tell it's not something that happens frequently ?“

“Fantastic! Work took me here as a first day welcome and it was informal and perfect for work/social. Tabouleh, hummus pita was great and so was the staff. I debated on 5 star atmosphere only because it was so packed with people but honestly can't hold that against anyone.Dietary restrictions: Veggie, pesca, GF, meat, omnivore, fat, skinny, foreign, domestic...everyone can eat here.“
“Love Mezedes! Went in today specifically for the chili week special and it did not disappoint! The regular menu at Mezedes is great, but you have to always be on the watch for the specials as well. Great place to stop in with your family and get good food and friendly service.“
“Always so delicious and even better eating in! I typically get carry out or delivery during busy work weeks but stopped in with my husband to dine in today. They had 2 Ramadan specials, one which my husband ordered. I always get the Chicken Platter with salad and hummus. Delicious. Thanks for making incredible food and having superb hospitality!“

“Phenomenal value in tastefully designed space. $13 for Genie' combo plate (chicken, rice, salad, hummus) is almost too much food for one person. Food is full of flavor. Service was prompt. Really enjoyed the design of the restaurant space and the music choice. Would easily “

“My wife and I ordered takeout. We arrived at the restaurant about 10 minutes later and our food was ready for us. I had the lamb gyro and my wife had chicken shawarma on rice. Both meals were bomb bomb! Generous portions, and lots of meat. Staff here is always friendly too! One of our favorite local spots.“
“I came here for the buffet for ramadan after a horrifying experience at hummas and pita grill. This place was amazing the food was very high quality with an overwhelming amount of options and everything was hot and fresh. Some honorable mentions from the food would be the fries, they were crispy, hot, and well-seasoned, and the fruit bar the fruits were fresh,sweet, and delicious making an amazing dessert. The employees were super nice and over all an amazing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this over the place hummus and pita grill. Well done very impressed.“

“This was easily some of the best Middle Eastern cuisine I’ve yet tried in Cincinnati! The price was right, the atmosphere was good and the food was superb. I highly recommend the Kafta- even the rice that came with it was better seasoned than anywhere I’ve been. 10/10.“
“Good food for the price. Portions are a little small but a gyro for $10.50 isn’t a bad price. The roasted red potatoes are so flavorful and well seasoned. Definitely worth ordering. A good stop for quick+healthy Mediterranean food!Kid-friendliness: High chairs and a kids menu“

“This was the perfect spot to grab lunch after shopping at jungle Jim's! It's conveniently located near the beer and wine and not too far from checkout so you can keep your groceries while eatingOrdered the falafel wrap and baba ghanoush. Both were delicious. Prices are a little high ~$10 for a wrap and $4.50 for a small portion of baba ghanoush. Their hot sauce is tasty, not too spicy though. Tzaziki was refreshing !“
“Went for the first time (dinner)- don't be fooled by the dark glass on the outside. The insides are very nice and service is good generally (a bit slower once it gets all full) . As for the food, I can't speak to the authenticity but it's pretty good food and reasonably priced.Strongly Recommend: fish and beef shikh kebab. Kharcho soup and Uzbek pilaf were interesting too“
