Middle Eastern Restaurants in Cleveland, OH

“My family and I had dinner here any everything was absolutely delicious! The vibe, the service, and the food are all so cozy and full of love. It made me super nostalgic for the time I spent in the Middle East. The servers were especially sweet and kind to my son. Thank you so much for a delicious meal and I can’t wait to go back!“

“thank you - everything was delicious - food was fast and fresh. one of the best steak & cheese sandwiches we've ever had - onion rings & french fries perfect. lemon & chocolate cake was awesome. we will be back - both kids happy“

“My whole family loves this place. Everything is delicious, they do the details perfectly and the price is very reasonable. We usually get wraps, and start splitting. The chicken shawarma is a standout, and the falafel wrap is elevated by perfectly pickled root veggies. It's a takeout place mostly, but don't let that put you off. And make sure to order the baklava for dessert!“

“Delicious and very affordable lunch option in the 5th street arcades. The building is a bit depressing these days on the inside, but the food and service are ultimately what matters and neither disappoints. The lamb in the lamb wrap was perfectly cooked when I got it. Highly recommend for a quick and cheap lunch.“

“Always fresh and delicious!!!“

“Jacob’s Oasis at the West Side Market in Cleveland is a great spot to grab something tasty while walking around the market. It’s one of those stands you might walk past at first, but once you stop and try the food, you’ll be glad you did.
They mainly serve Middle Eastern food, and everything tastes fresh and homemade. The hummus is really good and comes in different flavors, and it’s perfect with their soft pita bread. They also have things like grape leaves, salads, and other small dishes that are great if you want something light but filling. It’s not heavy food, which makes it ideal when you’re already eating your way through the market.
What makes Jacob’s Oasis nice is how easy and relaxed it feels. You can just walk up, order quickly, and enjoy your food without any fuss. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially if you’re not sure what to choose. They’re happy to explain things or give suggestions.
The stand itself has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and it fits perfectly into the busy and lively atmosphere of the West Side Market. It’s a good place to take a short break, eat something flavorful, and then continue exploring.
Overall, Jacob’s Oasis is a solid choice if you like fresh, simple food with a lot of flavor. It’s not fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. Just good food, good vibes, and a nice stop during your visit to the market.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD!!!! !!!!!!!!“

“Great brunch and Middle-Eastern food. Awesome, friendly staff.“

“Great food and a good variety on their menu. The atmosphere is unique and the people that work at the Westgate store are wonderful. Definitely going back there again!!“

“Highly recommended for jihadi death cultists, gullible college students, and the Red Cross. Walls of this Hamas haven shine with anti-Semitic art and tropes calling for the delegitimization of Israel and the genocide of Jews. Complete with a fireplace, couches and comfy chairs, it’s a warm and hospitable place to relax. Especially after a hard day of protesting for Palestinian rights to murder, r-pe, kidnap, and impose worldwide Sharia law. Step inside this decked-out terror tunnel and order items that Yahya Sinwar himself would have enjoyed in hiding. Menu treats include: Palestinian tea; Palestinian cucumber salad; white pizza with Palestinian olive oil; and of course, Gaza miish, which is to die for. While the restaurant doesn’t need my advice, I respectfully suggest new signature entrees: Heil Hummus, Führer Falafel, and Zyklon Beef. From the Ohio River to the Lake Erie sea, Algebra Tea House shall set you free. Unless you’re a Jewish baby hostage. Allahu Akbar! ☝️“

“I love the fresh menus and the many choices. I have never been disappointed eating here. I have had great service from Sasha, 2 times in the last two weeks.“

“I have frequented many Aladdin’s but I had to leave a positive review for the exceptional service I received Friday evening. I was in a rush to the airport and our waitress got our food in very quickly, and was very attentive. I would highly recommend this place as a stop for a healthy lunch or dinner before a flight out of Cleveland Hopkins.“

“We really enjoyed eating here while traveling from out of town. We stayed a little longer on Monday just to try here (they were unfortunately closed on weekend). Wish we could have tried more of the menu, but what we did eat was delicious. Well kept, clean, great food-at good prices. Keep up this great business!!“

“Falafel was top notch! 👌 Exquisite! 10/10 recommend! Our server was so kind and helpful and the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. Couscous tasted delicious, lamb was good, no complaints. All around great first experience. Will definitely be back. Thank you.“

“We love Nate’s! We haven’t tried too many items yet because we just love the gyros and spinach pies! And the baklava is so fresh!😋“
