“We have a tradition of going out for Indian food for Easter dinner but it got cut off during COVID. This year was such a wonderful return to a lovely tradition. The vegetarians and omnivores in our family are both happy—we got tandoori fish, saag paneer, Navratan Korma, chicken saag, and tandoori shrimp with a naan basket and the vegetarian appetizer platter. Every bite was better than the last.TLDR: Excellent food, eat here now.Vegetarian options: I love going to places where they don’t think it’s unusual to forego meat. 10/10 recommend!“
“GREAT fries!! It's all vegan; I had the chicken parm sandwich. It wasn't too bad. I'm not vegan, but I went with my daughter. The fries and pepperoni rolls are her favorite. Brought them home for my husband and didn't tell him they were vegan. He never knew the difference!“
“This place is amazing and the staff is so sweetThe Cajun pasta & their sauces (not together)Mmmm chefs kissI don't even like fries but I got fries there at least every other week for months just to have their sauces .. and I’m usually not a sauce person either lol“
“Pulling up to this place really made me feel like I found something special. Everything was enjoyable. All the food we tried needed a little salt. A tiny pinch of flaked finishing salt would really be that final step into flavor town. The patio is enchanting and the people are very kind. They also have great “
“Portia’s is the best, period. Not only is their food delicious and healthy, but the atmosphere is amazing too. You can tell how much love and care is put into this restaurant. From the effort they make in being eco-friendly and supporting other local businesses to how happy and friendly the staff is. You can tell the owner treats her employees well. All of these things together creates a dining experience unlike any other. You can go to Portia’s and feel completely good inside and out about the food you ate and supporting such a wonderful business. I like to try something new every time I go and everything is amazing, but I LOVE the waffles. Being vegan, I hadn’t had waffles in quite some time before I moved to Columbus and found Portia’s. Love everything about this place.Vegetarian options: All options are vegan (therefore also vegetarian)Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and veganParking: Parking in front, sides, and back of the building.“
“The only complaint I have is that if there is anything going wrong in the kitchen (like something burning ) you will smell it for your entire stay because of how open it isOther than that everything is phenomenal. Can get a bit pricey for the portions but very much worth it“
“This place is absolutely fire. Came through town with a buddy and finally got to try this place. Had sambusa and a tomato cucumber salad for appetizer We split the sampler platter for 2 (Garden I think) The dishes were extremely well prepared. I love Ethiopian food and the chef did not disappoint. Very fresh ingredients and well prepared stews. Absolutely loved the Okra dish. Like blown away. Highly recommend and look forward to going back. The gentleman working (owner?) was really welcoming, kind and helpful. There is a lot of care that goes into this food and it shows.“
“Even the carnivores in your group will love this place! My son is vegetarian and the rest of our family eats at least some meat. We live in Hilliard and this is our new #1 choice for local Asian food. Wish we had tried it sooner!Vegetarian options: All vegan!“
“Attention Vegans and non-Vegans! Try this place! You will not be disappointed. Just because you are not vegan doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Fresh, fast and great flavors. I was blown away by this spot. Just wish it was closer to my house!Vegetarian options: All Vegan! But non vegans will enjoy?“
“I recently visited The Lifestyle Cafe and was delighted by their scrumptious chicken and waffles. The flavors were exceptional, and I appreciated the innovative vegan twist. The frozen turmeric drink was a refreshing accompaniment, adding a delightful burst of flavor to the overall experience. The cafe's commitment to delicious vegan options makes it a standout choice for those seeking both taste and a cruelty-free dining experience.Be prepared to absorb the peaceful atmosphere and community vibe.“
“Sooo good, truly a hidden gem right in the heart of short north. We unknowingly arrived 15 minutes before closing and they still took us, but we didn't expect the best effort with it being closing time but this may have been THE best pizza I've had in Columbus! I'll be back for sure on my next visit!!!“
“First time here and definitely a win! Great homemade middle eastern food! Lebanese style! Service is excellent and great little atmosphere! Food quality is outstanding and prices are very fair! Definitely will be back as I love supporting the family owned restaurants!“
“Got the peach blueberry tart, grilled cheese, and chai latte. I have a gluten allergy and they used separate materials and kitchen!!! It was taken care of in such detail. I love this place. Only negative is that the chai was small proportion but still so yummy!“
“Definitely coming back!Fresh ingredients, food comes out made to order, great menu for casual healthy lunch options in the Short North finally! This is their second location after their successful downtown location.Best of all is that the staff clearly care about what they’re doing here! Excellent customer service and really living up to the name of an establishment named Rio Fresh :)I had the rio grilled chicken bowl and really enjoyed it. The chicken was moist, the beans and rice were piping hot, avocado was ripe and the greens were refreshing.“
“My very first time eating here. I chose the shawarma fries $13. I am so glad I did! That is comfort food as we know it. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful . My order was piping hot and fresh. Very pleased. I got a piece of walnut baklava$4.25 as well. A little pricey for lunch break meal so won’t be dining often. Also be mindful of the seasoning on the chicken. I believe it’s turmeric or curry but either way this meal is a tad messy and will stain especially white!“
