47 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Columbus

“I ordered online, so I can’t rate the service or atmosphere. But, the food is absolutely delicious! Fresh, flavorful and well cooked. First time was a group order - Lamb chops, vegetables, hummus, baba ghanoush, and lentil rice were all delicious! Vegan options are available. The only thing was that the chicken bites were a little dry. I ordered again a couple of days later, and got the chicken shawarma and mango smoothie. Both were on point!“

“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!“

N I shared u guys up every week.“

“It was so good omg“

“Great environment, great food, great people“

“First time there and the menu was a little confusing but the staff were good at explaining the options. It's a Chipotle or Bibibop style of menu. The store manager was also working the line and really showed her stuff (in a great way) for customer service. I'll definitely go back. All food was fresh, items were got that were supposed to be hot and service was quick. It was a little noisy but my order was to go. There is outside dining for nicer days.“

“Amazing Food!“

“Great service, amazing food. Plenty of options for any mood you're feeling. Owner and employees were very pleasant. 5/5 recommendation“

“Delicious, affordable, and super friendly atmosphere! Yappy Greek is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious, the prices are great, and the vibe is warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! 👏🇬🇷“

“I love this restaurant and the people who make it possible to dine here!“

“Love this neighborhood gem.“

“I love the meat here. Also their sauce is really good. I used to go here alot more when I wasnt sick and more mobile and they always would make a tray for me special because I was picky. I rechecked door dash and I'm positive it doesn't let u order gyro meat by pound. Please change this because it's easier for me to order from you.“

“We went to have dinner last evening. They told us that the dinner is $15.99. They told us that the brisket wasn't included, but they were nice enough to serve us brisket from the lunch. On the way to check out at the counter, we pay extra for brisket per pound. Since they were nice to us, we didn't check the price (which we should've). The day after we were checking the price, it was way more than we thought it was. Lunch was $17, 99, and dinner was $15.99. When I called then I was told they person at the counter charged us $21, 99, which was WAY more than t were supposedose to charge. The person was firm on the price until I told him thathadave text from sababa of lunch, which was $17, 99, and we had din, er, which was $15.99. Of course, I was upset about him because he either didn't know the truth or lying out right that he didn't know they had a promotion yesterday for less price. (If you are working at the counter it's your JOB to know to charge your customers rightfully) If someone is upset on it than it's your job to calm them, not to get ANGRY on retaliation. He called his manager and after a long hold, for which I thought he discussed it with his counter person that what's actually going wrong, he told me that it's not a big deal and it's just $5 dollars, which was way more than that. Obviously, it pissed me off, and again, the manager got ANGRY in retaliation (which he shouldn't be) because both the customer service and the manager are NOT giving you the right information. In the last, he told us the correct amount to be refunded and HUNG UP ABRUPTLY. (Without apologizing or saying SORRY. As I said, FOOD is awesome, but the customer service from the counter SUCKS but the waitress is really NICE to provide us brisket. I would ask anyone if their is a discount price for the dinner ($15.99) and you are charged for regular lunch price (21.99), and the customer service is NOT accepting mistake. Wouldn't you be upset or mad about it? The manager would be angry about giving you a refund and hanging up abruptly without apologizing.“

“First time trying and I will definitely be back. Authentic and delicious with generous portion sizes. I got the mix gyro platter and I think I might already be addicted 🥹 the samosas are packed full and very tasty. Very helpful employees that helped explain the menu as well- highly recommend! 😁“

“Good place for pakistani food... very friendly and humble owner .... recommended“

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

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“Absolute top shelf. Great Tapas. The happy hour menu was right priced as well.“

“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!“

“I order The double cheeseburger on the Uber eats app all the time. It is one of the most flavorful burgers. And they let you choose fries or onion rings and a drink. It's a great deal and the flavor is unbelievable. I highly recommend.“

“Absolutely 100% worth a visit. Amazing authentic food, and the prices make it even more worth it. Easily the best Greek food, and especially the gyros I have ever had. The people are great, especially the owner. And don't forget to try the desserts.“

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

“I order here literally almost every week. I need a rewards card lol. With my dieting they food has been the best. Very fresh and flavorful. I’m pretty sure I’m yall number one customer lol. I always get the salad bowl with either cauliflower or chicken. My daughter gets the chicken rice bowls.“

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

“Truly amazing 🤩 food and service. Atmosphere is authentic Greek! Very rare today.“

“Fantastic food! Our family is super picky about food quality and ingredients… we are gluten and dairy free. Alladdins is accommodating to both. Fast and super friendly service. This will be our go to restaurant when in town for a track meet at Spire! Perfect fuel for our athlete“

“Best food the rice bowl is 🔥“

“I’ve been to Del Mar many times over the years, and it has consistently been one of my favorite places to dine. My go-to dishes are the tomato salad, the open-fire roasted shellfish platter, and the lobster spaghetti — and they are excellent every single time. During my visit tonight, I ordered the lobster bisque, the tomato salad, and the lobster spaghetti, and the food was just as wonderful as always. The quality of the cuisine is one of the reasons I continue to come back. Another reason I return so often is the outstanding service I’ve received from many members of the staff. Over my visits, I’ve had several exceptional servers — Emma, Hope, Shelby, and one or two others whose names I unfortunately can’t quite recall (possibly Ella or Lydia). All of them have been attentive, thoughtful, and consistently professional. But if I had to highlight one person above the rest, it would be Emma without hesitation. Emma represents the very best of what great service looks like. She is attentive, detail-oriented, and always checks in to ensure I have everything I need. One example that really illustrates her level of care: whenever I order the tomato salad, she has the kitchen chop it up to make it easier for me because of my visual impairment — even though I’ve never asked her to do this. I don’t expect every server to do this, because everyone is different, and not everyone knows or thinks of these kinds of details. But the fact that she notices, takes initiative, and consistently goes out of her way means a lot to me, and it makes my dining experience smoother every time. Her consideration doesn’t end when the check is paid, either. Even after I’ve finished my meal and am simply sitting for a little while to finish my drink or wait for my ride, she still checks in on me periodically to make sure I’m comfortable and don’t need anything else. That level of consistent, genuine care is rare, and it’s one of the many reasons she stands out. If any end-of-year recognition or promotions are being considered, she absolutely deserves to be at the top of the list. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the service during my visit tonight. My server introduced himself as Ed, and while I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt — especially since I cannot see facial expressions or body language due to my visual impairment — the overall lack of attentiveness was noticeable. Before my lobster bisque came out, he stopped by briefly to say that he had dropped off a soup spoon. I said “thank you” and asked for a Pepsi, but I didn’t realize he had already walked away while I was speaking — something that can happen to me because I can’t see when someone leaves. The Pepsi didn’t arrive then. When the lobster bisque came out, I asked again for a Pepsi. Later, when I reached for the drink, I realized there was no straw. I felt around the table to check if he had placed one somewhere I might not have noticed, but there wasn’t one. The next time he came by was when my entrée — the lobster spaghetti — was served, and that was finally the moment when I could ask for a straw. These are small things individually, but they added up and affected the experience. The part that concerned me most, however, happened when it came time to pay. When Ed brought the check, I handed him my credit card. After processing it, he came back with the touchscreen payment device and said, “The machine is in front of you,” as though I would be able to see or operate it. When I politely explained that I couldn’t see the screen, he responded with, “So with the 20%, your total came to $114.05,” which made it clear that he had already selected the tip amount on my behalf. To be clear, I was planning to tip 20% anyway — so the amount itself is not the issue. What bothered me was the assumption and the lack of communication before making that decision. With servers like Emma and the others I’ve mentioned, I typically tell them, “Can you please add 20%?” and they take care of it with no problem. In this case, that communication was skipped entirely. Overall“

“Zaki has easily become one of my favorite eateries in Cbus. The ingredients are so fresh and the flavors are on point. I am gluten free. They have a great menu with a lot of gluten free options, it is a blessing. I get a falafel bowl and add chicken; the generous portions result in leftovers or me sharing with friends. The gentlemen working greet you with a smile and are enthusiastic about the food they make. Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful experience and great atmosphere“

“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!“

“I highly recommend a trip to Arabian market. Saber and the staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with finding products or offering suggestions. The selection of items is extensive, with a wide variety of spices, and unique ingredients. Located in Smokey Row Plaza, it's easy to get in and out. Go find something new and awesome!“

“Great food. The service is impeccable.“

“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 ❤️“

“We’ve visited Spiros on two occasions. Once for breakfast where we enjoyed the steak and eggs with a side of home fries, small pancake stack, western omelette with home fries and a side order of bacon. Our second visit occurred during lunch. We enjoyed an appetizer of fried mushrooms and the Reuben with fries. Everything was excellent and arrived to the table hot! Restaurant is clean, portions are plentiful and it’s family owned! Highly recommend!“

“Great food, been taking out since 1995.“

“Excellent service, friendly staff“

“Great Pasta. Top notch service and wine selection!“

“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.“

“This was my 2nd time trying this Food truck and I personally, felt like it was very tasty and well seasoned! I got two Gyros (lamb & chicken) and seasoned fries. All together for me was $22, to of which for the quality that (I) got, I felt was decent!

The meat on both was well seasoned and tender! The sauce was plentiful and dripping out of the sandwich(as it does with most Gyros made anyway) and it was packed full with veggies!

The seasoned fries: hot and tasty! My only complaint on the fries was that I wish I had slightly more seasoned, but I also could've asked for extra.

My experience was good one and I definitely plan on returning! 😋“

“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 place for your nightly dinner pizza 🍕 and wings are the best .“
