Middle Eastern Restaurants in Columbus, OH

“I’ve been hearing about this place for a few years now, and so many people have been telling me that I needed to come try it. Today I finally made it here Alhamdulillah, and SubhanAllah, I can honestly say it was worth the wait.

I ordered the Lamb Haneef, Lamb Kabsa, and some Hummus on the side. Everything was absolutely amazing. The rice was incredibly flavorful and seasoned perfectly, and the lamb was seasoned to perfection, tender, juicy, and literally falling off the bone.

The flavors were rich and authentic, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. You can really tell that care and attention went into the food. The portions were also very generous, and every bite was better than the last.

Alhamdulillah, I’m really glad I finally came to try this place after hearing about it for so long. I can definitely see why so many people recommended it to me. I’ll absolutely be coming back again and trying more of their dishes.

Highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys authentic Yemeni food.“

“Amazing Food!“

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

“We used Saba catering for our son’s bar mitzvah and we were so happy with Saba! Their team were so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process from designing the menu to serving the meal on the day. The food was exceptional! Would highly recommend“

“Found this place by googling Caribbean food near me. I was so excited to see a Haitian food come up! I’m from south Florida and you just can’t find a ton of Caribbean food spots here in Columbus, oh. Didn’t realize it was a food truck, but the food and the young lady who took my order was amazing. I LOVE!! Will go back soon and probably more times than I should. I got the Griot with black rice and plantains. Also, ordered 4 Pikiliz because I just love it and love how spicy it is. I also added the oxtail sauce on my rice. Like seriously made me feel like I was back home! Prices aren’t bad either. I believe the large was on $12.50 and they charge for the pikiliz and oxtail sauce, but definitely worth it. So, go try now!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I ordered the lamb shawarma and it was incredible. Food came out in a timely manner and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Can confidently say I’ve never eaten at a restaurant that put so much emphasis on customer service.

If you want great food to eat at a place that is welcoming look no further!“

“Had a fabulous chicken gyro at the Columbus Book Festival today. It was so nice to have something good and fresh!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“It was so good omg“

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

“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.“

“Best food the rice bowl is 🔥“
