43 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Gahanna

“Pitabilities! Such a hit with our staff! They continue to be our "go to" for staff lunches! The food is awesome and their delivery/set up person was not just "on time" but early with our food. You can't go wrong with this choice!😋“

“I eat here often and have never had a bad experience. I usually get the Gyro salad or Lamb Gyro. The salad is enough for two people and highly recommend. This place is pretty healthy for fast food and you will spend equally as much at any burger chain.“

“Lavash Cafe is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in the Columbus area. Our most resent visit was on a Sunday afternoon and we had a delightful experience.

The food is always spot on. My fried raves about the rice be to ng their favorite while I love the chicken kebob sandwich wrapped in the lavash bread. Most recently we tried the jumbo grilled shrimp which may be my new favorite dish here.

The staff is always polite and courteous. Additionally the bathrooms are spotless and even have a bidet sprayer available.“

“Aladdin's Eatery might be the best chain restaurant ever. I've never had a bad experience, and I've eaten at multiple locations. The food is always fresh, and I feel so good after eating there! There's something on the menu for everyone.“

“Great food! This is our go-to for falafel 🧆
I think Brassica has the best falafel 🥙 in the city.
The roasted veggies are really good too! So was the chocolate chip cookie! Oh yeah and their fries are great!“

“Stopped in for the 1st time 1/20/26 (Montgomery Rd) & was greeted with a smile. Didn't get the names of the other two workers, but Odat, was very nice n humble soul, the place was clean & friendly. Will be back on Saturday morning to introduce my grandaughters to it. Thx for a great experience Odat, this is the lady that drove from KY yesterday💛 P.S. not this Saturday, it's going to snow really bad...but we will definitely be back. N I shared u guys up every week.“

“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.“

“Great environment, great food, great people“

“The drive through is a so so type of thing if your in A hurry sometimes you can zip through sometimes you end up waiting 20 min the food is pretty good and the prices are fair and it tastes good tried many different things off the menu .. all were great except for the baklava a little to dry and not as flakiness as traditional baklava but I love this place I prefer it over any gyro place in Columbus!“

“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 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.“

“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“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

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

“Overall, it's a great place. However, if you have a togo order, check your bag before leaving as we were shorted an entree. We didn't realize this until we got home which is about 40 minutes away. I called and told them and they made the entree. The downfall, 1h 30min round trip again.“

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

“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.“

“Great food as always. Never disappoints“

“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!“

“This was my first visit to Koble Grill and will not be my last. I plan on returning real soon. Lea was our server and she was FANTASTIC. We had a party of 4 and everyone loved their food. We got 2 bottles of wine because on Sunday the wine were marked down. We just had a wonderful time and Please thank Lea for us“

“Soon as one walks through their doors they're greeted with the display cases of fresh baked goodies old and new fashioned!
Menu is incredible as well as their food. The owner is super cool and so hands on and personable that you know that everything is done with Love!“

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

“Great food, been taking out since 1995.“

“Good quality food, generous portions, always ready in 15-20 minutes. Friendly service also.“

“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.“

“As a regular, the staff is very friendly and attentive. I’m hooked on their kebabs and their salad is just perfect. Hummus and pita is delicious as well. They used to have honey mustard chicken but I haven’t seen it in a while, but if you get lucky grab that while you can.“

“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 .“
