“Our group of five dined here for the first time last night and we will return soon! We tried a variety of dishes including an appetizer of fried zucchini, gyro, wild caught salmon, moussaka, and steak and chicken souvlaki (kebabs). All were delicious. Our server was friendly, efficient and accommodating.“

“best Lebanese lentil soup! I'll go out of my way to get carryout.“

“Best fast casual type of restaurant you'll find anywhere but at some point there needs to be a conversation about some of the staff at the short north location... almost every time I go I have an experience so odd it feels like I am getting pranked by a hidden camera. If someone were to tell me they're testing AI robots that work off a limited script I would understand, and also feel better about robots taking human facing jobs. Foods still fantastic and won't impact me from going at least once a week but the robo staff experience has happened too many times to not start the conversation about getting some humans back behind the counter slinging the best food in town.“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“I love this place!! Best falafel in town, heard it from a friend and it’s true. I’m vegetarian and they still have lots of yummy dishes that I love. The owner is very nice and they have great service. Give this place a try!“

“Love this neighborhood gem.“

“Great food/great service!!“

“I went here last weekend for the first time and really loved it!!! My only two complaints were that I was still hungry from the small amount of chicken I got in my bowl and it was really loud in there due to the industrial architecture style with the high heat echoey ceilings I’m not a fan of as someone with sensory sensitivity. But the tahini chocolate cookie and the yummy mint pink lemonade made up for it! I’m usually quite picky with veggies, but I honestly loved everything I added to my bowl besides the beets. Just too sweet for my preference. I like to eat them raw, just not pickled I’ve discovered. The cauliflower with jalapeño was especially delicious and I usually don’t do spicy nor cauliflower, but it wasn’t even spicy, just super flavorful. Everything was super fresh and delicious and the workers were so kind and friendly as it was my first time and I had no idea what to order or how it all worked. I will definitely be back!“

“Great environment, great food, great people“

“I love this place!!! So fresh, fast and just yum!“

“Great food/great service!!“

“Spectacular! They have some tasty dishes. I have tasted the Jamaican Beef Patty, Fish dinner, chicken gyro, chicken wings, greek fries, and more. The only thing that could have been better were the lemon pepper chicken wings. Good wings, just too much seasoning. The chicken wings were too sour.“

“My husband and I had been waiting to try out this restaurant for a date night, and to celebrate his birthday early, as he has an early December bday and it’s too crazy at that time. I had read lots of reviews, and we had a wonderful experience, like most other people apparently! Hope was our amazing server, and had great suggestions and was very attentive and welcoming. We started with the feta and roasted red pepper dips with pita bread-so yummy! Our mains were the ribeye and lobster spaghetti, so we shared and made our own surf and turf:) Honestly, everything sounded delicious so it was hard to decide, but we loved what we got. My husband’s steak was cooked to perfection, and I loved the red sauce with the lobster, surprisingly it did not overpower it. We also got the baklava dessert which was fantastic! And our server, Hope, made it perfect, she was constantly checking in to see if we needed anything, refilling drinks, but somehow doing it in an unobtrusive manner! What a great experience, would highly recommend this place👍“

“Amazing Food!“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is delicious and the quality has not changed in all these years. All the employees are professional and friendly.“

“Tasty foods and friendly , knowledgeable servers.“

“Best food the rice bowl is 🔥“

“I truly don’t know how this place has a 3-star rating the food is soooo good and fresh!! It’s at one of those cloud kitchen locations so if customer service was an issue for anyone it isn’t a direct representation of the restaurant itself.

My food was made on time and delicious. It was so good I ordered just for me and my fiancé who’s very picky tried some of mine and went back and got some for himself! Lol“

“Best place to eat Mediterranean food. So good thank you guys !“

“great food & service. Gyro was fresh and tender“

“The Food is soooo good at Habibi Grill! We frequent them regularly and love the excellent Lebanese food. They always exceed expectations and the food never disappoints. Delicious!“

“Best food and drinks I have had in Columbus!“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“Grabbed a late dinner last night. Food was outstanding (primarily the tabouli salad with beef shawarma.) Most outstanding, though, was our service. Caleb is a gem. He is so polite, charming and attentive. We really enjoyed him. Definitely will be back again very soon!“

“Everything about Aladdin’s is great! I’ve been coming here for years. This was my boyfriend’s first “dine in” experience. I’ve brought food home to him before. Have always loved this place!“

“The all in one plate is my new favorite for lunch, each part was fantastic. Just tried their Greek coffee, it was delicious (I normally drink coffee or espresso black). This may need to get back on my weekly rotation! Pastitsio and stuffed peppers are both great but filling. Wish they offered a mini serving of their spicy feta, I can't justify ordering it when I am dining solo.“

“Food is great, always fresh. but staff can be very dismissive of guest asking questions to verify something on their order. I just ordered Carry out, which included 2 desserts and when I went to pick up I saw the employee grabbed a different item than I ordered. when I asked to confirm they just stapled the bag shut and tossed it onto the counter. I wouldn't normally complain but this is the 3rd time this particular employee has done something similar where my order ended up being incorrect. Unfortunately I don't know their name to call management“

“I tried this place for the first time today. I had the Mediterranean bowl. Absolutely delicious!“

“Excellent service, friendly staff“

“This place is amazing. My husband and I travel from West Virginia so we can buy all our Egyptian kitchen needs from here. Saber is super nice and helpful and will help with recommendations on whatever you need. Highly recommend“

“Traveling for work. Staying two exits away. WORTH THE DRIVE YUM“

“Wonderful experience and great atmosphere“

“Can't beat the pizza for the prize. perfect pizza for parties“

“We are from out of town and needed to feed 16 people after our original plan fell through. I called and spoke to Jeremy and he was quick to accommodate. I have to say the service was impeccable and so was the food. Every one of our orders was perfectly prepared and delicious. Our server ( I’m sorry i don’t remember her name, but I’m sure she knows who we are talking about) was amazing and professional and never missed a beat! I would highly recommend this establishment !! Thank you all so much ❤️“

“Everything cooked with love and they treat u like family best food on the north side my family eat it 2-3 times a week“

“Move to the area and stopped to grab lunch. Love the environment, food, and staff. Excited to come back and grab their breakfast but this time it was the gyro which was super yummy. The Lemon Meringue pie is house made and is AMAZING. Perfection. I would come here just for the pie alone. Stephanie was amazing and super nice. Loved the owner. I look forward to weekly breakfast and mimosas.“

“We used Greek Express in Gahanna for catering our co-grad party for 100 people. Food and service was amazing. They went above and beyond— seriously good food and all our guests loved-loved the food— it made our party a success. I’m not sure why it didn’t occur to me to use them sooner; but my son suggested we use them and it was a great call.“

“Great food, been taking out since 1995.“

“Best Gyros in Columbus!! The regular size is big.
They dice thier tomatoes and onions use sweet onions and shredded lettuce .The lamb meat is tender and tasty.The Greek restaraunts in Columbue should come and learn from Alibaba how to properly make a gyro.“

“First time being here and it was amazing. Food was perfect and service was amazing.“

“This is the most unbelievable food I've had in my life. It was my first time so I wasn't familiar with the prices and items so I just picked whatever looked good. It came out to 20 dollars. Whatever I got was cooked really well and tasted like something you'd find at the most expensive restaurant. One of the things I got was a honey mustard tasting chicken. It was so delicious. The food here is incredibly filling and hearty. I don't even think I could eat the rest of the day after getting something from here. The only thing I didn't like was the nan/pita bread they gave. It was awful.“

“been a loyal customer of Louie and Helen for close to 35 years when Louie booked shows at the original location at 11th and high...still can hear Louie saying "Your number one gyro connection." known night manager Mike about the same amount of time.“

“Delish! And great service.“

“Hands down the best food truck ever. Their rice is mind blowingly good, fluffy, aromatic, and delicious. I make rice EVERY DAY, and I still can't replicate it. Their falafel is also perfect. I'm a fan of their yogurt sauce and my partner thinks their Chicken is the best they have ever had. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back again soon.

Vegetarian options: I had falafel over rice which came with a salad.“
