Vegan options are clearly marked.
The hummus was rated best in Columbus for a reason. It's amazing!!!
Everything here is great. The falafel, pita, rice, all very fresh and spiced perfectly!
The staff is amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner is a great guy too. Never had a bad experience.
True local gem in Columbus!!

I've never reviewed a restaurant before, but this was the place that convinced me to start. We came here with a group of 4 on a total whim and were all amazed by this place. To begin, the ladies working the counter very kind! They answered questions, read back our order, and were polite and personable the whole time. Me and my bf each ordered the shwarma plate and sandwich respectively and our guests ordered kebab and gyro. The food came out piping hot in next to no time at all and was so sublime that the conversation died immediately! I'm almost certain that everything is made in house. The dressing on the salad, the hummus, even the pickled beets. The meal was balanced in flavor yet incredibly filling. So while the price seems steep, you're going to have leftovers for atleast the next lunch. Lastly, we were about halfway through our meal before we realized our drinks never came. Our waitress was so graceful about it and got them immediately, along with a baklava for each of us on the house. Lastly, I appreciate the approach of the menus, soda fountains, silverware, and take out boxes kept accessible to the guests while seated as to keep everything streamlined and minimize the time each guest takes from the people working the kitchen. If I was local to the area, I would go here for everything!

Food is pretty good here. Service is great. Atmosphere and decor is lacking a bit. The fries were soft and lacked seasoning. The Gyro was good, but very basic. I would pick many other greek/mediterranean places over this one.

This place was incredible (and very Lavish)! The friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food made it the perfect stop after a long drive into Columbus from Vermont. I got the lamb kebabs, which were so good and served with a salad, rice, and pita bread. Also as a huge Twenty-One Pilots fan, the fun vibe added a special touch to the experience. Would 100% recommend coming here!

On Saturday I was taking my Pet Cheetah for a walk through the Forest when I ran into this guy called Ned who told me I needed to try this cafe. So I called a Taxi Cab to give me a Ride, and while we were on Mulberry Street the Car Radio went out, but it's okay because I had a Migraine. Long story short we made it to the cafe in no time at all. The Outside looked fantastic. The food was incredible. Anyway, here's the Message, Man: there's no Doubt this cafe really lives up to The Hype. I'll be back Next Semester.

Such a good Mediterranean spot. Lots of options from grilled lamb and great hummus, and I do think it's the best gyro spot around Clintonville (trust me I've tried most of them).
Pricy for the atmosphere. That said the food is worthy of cloth tablecloths, valets, coat checks, and attended restrooms (Did I hear there were bidets in them?). Maybe we did have a bit of a bias going in being TØP fans but the prices grounded us and the focus on food quality and service became more important to us.

Drove all the way from Wisconsin for the Twenty One Pilots show in Columbus and had to stop at Lavash after seeing the restaurant in the band's music video for ''Lavish". The food was amazing!! And the staff were great :). Everything was so wonderful, we'll def swing by again next time we're in Columbus!!
This was my first time at Lavash. I have a cold, so I was in search of soup and I thought a Mediterranean restaurant would be a good bet, I figured I would stumble across some kind of lentil soup or bone broth. They did indeed have lentil soup, which I ordered with a side of lemon. It was alot like my mother used to make, it was warm and comforting and perfectly spiced, great with a squeeze of lemon. I also got to try the hummus; very obviously house made and the pita was soft and warm. Ahmad helped me, he was very kind and friendly. I would definitely return when I'm in the mood to eat a little more, wonderful restaurant.

Visited Lavash while in town for Twenty One Pilots (from NJ). We felt so welcome by everyone there and appreciated how they made the experience special for fans depite it being busy. Very friendly staff, super quick service, amazing food! Thank you Lavash for embracing/hosting this community while also doing good for local charities. We will definitely come back next time we're in the area. You are so loved - walk in like you deserve it!!!!
Vegetarian options: Had multiple options to chose from, everything we tried was very flavorful and filling.
Parking: Parking in the rear of the building connected to another restaurant. Despite it being busy, we found a spot fairly easily.
