Just incredible. Incredible food, incredible drinks, incredible service, incredible vibe. If you’re thinking about it, this is your answer: yes, eat here.
I recommend sitting on the patio if it’s nice out.

A mesmerizing dinner with bold flavors at Agni made an evening in Columbus. OH as memorable as can be. From the dimly lit tribal rustic space, the dining space matches well with the colorful spices used in their dishes. Agni does not shy away from their use of strong piercing curry flavors in their international features, representing Thailand, China, Vietnam, Turkey and Mexico. My favorite items off their tasting menu were their caesar chaat-froid salad and creme brulee. I would easily eat the salad every day! The pistachios flavored creme brulee filled with pistachios, cardamon and kataifi as homage to the taste of Turkiye. Bravo for a brilliant team in Columbus. My only suggestion is the flavors can be too bold and salty, that an extra dinner roll or side of rice would be wonderful to help accompany the curries and sauces. that Can't wait to try what they'd come up with all the buzz behind their kitchen doors.

A very unique experience in Columbus! So very many courses and different flavors. Staff was extremely friendly and interesting enough it was kind of a round robin system where you got different staff bringing different courses so that was neat.
Food was amazing. Prepared just right each dish and the flavors were out of this world! Very filling, just barely was able to finish the last of the courses.
Bathrooms are immaculate and have plenty of extra amenities over what you'd normally expect. Had some Japanese city pop playing and a Toto toilet even.
Highly recommend for memorable experience.

This was one of the most interesting meals I've ever had at a restaurant. It was like going to 15 different Southeast Asian restaurants and eating 2 bites of the best dish at each one. Loved it. Really fun friendly staff as well.

Agni goes above and beyond. Dining here is more than just a meal, it’s a passionate, artistic culinary experience. Yet, despite its creativity and ambition, nothing about Agni feels pretentious. The fusion of flavors and textures is masterful, and the service is impeccable. Every beverage we tried was thoughtfully crafted, with plenty of inventive non-alcoholic options. We dined on the patio on a balmy 90-degree day, and their custom “sodas” were the perfect refreshment in the heat.
I could go on and on about the food. A few standout stars from our visit included the Phuchka, Dal, and the Caesar Chaat-Froid. Each dish a bold, balanced marriage of flavor, texture, and even temperature. Every plate felt like a small revelation.
We were truly impressed by every aspect of our time at Agni. While we deeply respect the values behind their added employee wellness fee, we’d gently suggest incorporating it into menu pricing rather than adding it at the end, it would feel more seamless to the overall experience.
And the cherry on top? Believe it or not, the bathroom! Adorned with charming custom wallpaper, stocked with thoughtful toiletries, and featuring an actual Japanese Toto toilet, it stole the heart of this former Tokyoite.
Agni is without question a front-runner in the Columbus dining scene.
Such an incredibly fun and special dining experience. Everything from the decor to the menus to the bathrooms (they have Toto washlets!!) is so carefully considered, beautiful, and delightful. This is a 14 course meal, so come very hungry (but they do provide take home boxes if you can’t finish it all, which is indicative of the chef’s extreme attention to hospitality and making all guests feel cared for). The dal and the caesar chatt-froid were two of the best dishes I’ve ever had in my life, but everything is outrageously delicious and unexpected.
We had a number of excellent servers, all of whom seemed to know every detail of every dish and were personally invested in us having a good experience. We’re lucky to have Agni and Joya’s in Columbus.

Finally made it to Agni to celebrate Father's Day with my foodie husband and our 20-something kids. The kids appreciate great food, and were super happy to see servers in cargo shorts allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed for the dinner. THE FOOD!!!! Can't recommend highly enough, the creativity, care, thought, layers of flavors, and presentation of dish after dish was amazing. We did the tasting menu and wine pairings, both were fantastic. But a few people were eating a la carte at the bar, which also looked like a great option. We are so lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber in Columbus. We may have hit an off night with the service, it was very professional, but not particularly personal or welcoming. But no matter, we will be back, and look forward to whatever creative unique flavorful menus this chef will have in the future!

This is our go-to very, very special occasion spot. The price is high but everything feels so special and unique it is worth the cost. Amazing cocktails, great wine list, and every dish and bite is out of this world. I appreciated that many of the dishes are based off or inspired by family recipes not only from Chef Avishar but others in the kitchen and on staff - the definition of a family restaurant! I will warn you that you will be tempted to finish every bite and will be painfully full at the end of your experience. Worth it.

We had a chance to visit Agni yesterday and it was a truly stellar experience. The service was top-notch, the staff was knowledgeable, courteous and fun. They were all very polite and helpful.
The food at Agni was truly mesmerizing. We got the Travelers Tasting course and the dishes and flavors that were brought out were incredible. My wife had the vegetarian version and she said that everything was also incredible. The best part about the experience was that each dish built upon the last to culminate into the dessert courses.
I can't write enough about how great the food was! Would highly recommend and plan to go there again in the future and also get the wine pairing as well.

My husband and I dined grill-side at the chef’s table (the most expensive reservation option) and it was absolutely worth the money for a celebration (based on the food, the service, the atmosphere, everything was fantastic). Bob was our server (and maintained his post in the kitchen at the same time) and was an amazing, friendly, and hospitable host. We felt totally welcomed into their space and had a fantastic time as people who love the craft and skill of the professional kitchen!
Just incredible. Incredible food, incredible drinks, incredible service, incredible vibe. If you’re thinking about it, this is your answer: yes, eat here.
