The prices are SO HIGH! the “vegan cheese” as advertised on their menu is not vegan! The bread has so little amount of cheese it’s embarrassing. The zaatar manakeesh is so little it’s like the size of an iPhone and they charge 5 dollars each. The food tastes good but the prices are crazy because of the small portion size. It’s like eating at a very fancy place.

Cincinnati is a scary place.Baladi's had free, off-street parking, which was just heavenly compared to the other places we were looking at. Desperation had long set in by this time.Parking: Small off street parking lot.

Need to clairify with customers what they order. Attempted order Baladi grill but was given the mixed grill.
Very bad in everything. Bad smell in the restaurant. The food is bad and cold. It is also expensive. Bad customer service and the overlook of the restaurant looks dirty.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food. They also have a Arab grocery store attached so if you need tea, dried/canned goods and other drinks you can find them here at a great price! And support a local small business!
We ordered chicken shawarma and grill mix, the sandwich is small served without any thing beside it, the rice is flavourless and cold , small portions that don't fill a child.
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.

It's a simple restaurant with some character. Easy for take away or dine in. My food was very good. The houmus and bread were awesome. My lemon mint tea was fantastic. Kebob and shwaema good.. Made as I sat there. Syrian balady food ( homey). There's a market next to it with wonderful mid east foods. Tunisian dates. Prices in both places very good. Try it out. Right next to clifton lobby hospitalParking: Right in front might be difficult to exit but around the corner/end of strip center is good parking. One minute walk.
In a world where many restaurants charge arbitrarily high prices for food, baladi is a wonderful place! The Muhammara is great, the salads are great.
