Middle Eastern Restaurants in Columbus, OH

“The lamb hummus is a must. So much flavor and hummus has a perfectly smooth texture. One of my favorite dishes was the lamb fahsah. It came out bubbling hot, lamb was so tender and delicious. The portions of all our entrees were very generous and could be shared easily. I was pleased with how clean the restaurant was and the service and kindness of the staff was some of the best we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to return.“

“The food is great! Had some amazing breakfast here. I can’t remember the name of the dish but I highly recommend people try out the potato, egg, and pepper breakfast. Their bread is fluffy and crispy and their coffee is great as well. Highly recommend coming over here. The people here are friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is worth it“

“Amazing Food!“

“Very delicious food and clean restaurant and professional staff.“

“Saba Middle Eastern Grill in Columbus is a gem! The food is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every dish feels like it’s made with care, and the portions are generous. The service is just as impressive: friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Whether you’re a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, this is a spot you don’t want to miss. Highly recommend for a great meal“

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

“The have the best meet in town fresh and Halal?“

“This place has the best flatbread in Columbus. To the other commenter who mentioned that it was moldy in 3 days: as somebody who makes bread this is typical of bread without preservatives and other junk that they add at the grocery store. Also the fact that it's fresh baked means you need to take it out of the plastic and let it breathe before putting it back in.“

“My wife and I decided to try something new. What a great restaurant!! The food was excellent, and the service was spectacular. The prices were so low. I highly recommend everyone to try this place! The building itself is just a small little place, but the food is great! For our first time trying this kind of food, it was a wonderful experience.“

“Lavash has been one of my favorite places to eat in Columbus for many years, but today they went above and beyond for me. I made a large order for the parents of a newborn so we could freeze tasty meals for them. The staff read and acted on my order notes about helping to label each meal, and they offered alternative options for items that wouldn’t freeze well when I came to pick up. The food is excellent and fresh, and the staff are kind and efficient. Thanks Lavash!“

“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!“

“the food was great. and the price isn't bad at all. they completed the order last minute while packing up before the storm hits today in a timely manner ✨️ friendly service“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“Very nice atmosphere with a vibe of NYC and Columbus! The customer service from the owner was stellar and very personable. The lamb platter was phenomenal!! The lamb and rice was seasoned well with the right spices. I would definitely recommend Halal Munchies to any one visiting Columbus and even to OSU students.“

“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!“

“Great food/great service!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Best food the rice bowl is 🔥“

“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.“

“Great hang out spot. Millennial mixed crowd vibe. There's a golf simulation I never used. Big chess board that I've never seen anyone play. Pool tables, corn hole, a mini art gallery with African art, small outdoor space. There are a few photo op areas. The food is not good to me. Parking has never been a problem for me.“
