25 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Grove City

“Love love love Athena’s. The falafel pita is my go to but I’ve also had the spinach pie, fried mushrooms, chicken lemon soup (SO good!) and chicken gyro. Our little one loves the kid’s pita and my husband is obsessed with the Greek fries. Hidden gem in GC.“

“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!“

“Best fast casual type of restaurant you'll find anywhere but at some point there needs to be a conversation about some of the staff at the short north location... almost every time I go I have an experience so odd it feels like I am getting pranked by a hidden camera. If someone were to tell me they're testing AI robots that work off a limited script I would understand, and also feel better about robots taking human facing jobs. Foods still fantastic and won't impact me from going at least once a week but the robo staff experience has happened too many times to not start the conversation about getting some humans back behind the counter slinging the best food in town.“

“Brassica is like no place else, and in all the best ways. The flavors in the food are incredible and always consistently delicious. I am glutenf free, and I can eat every single item except for the pita. The choices are amazing. The french fries are to die for, too! Run - don't walk!!“

“I love going to this restaurant me and my family always enjoye the food there and the staff are very friendly I really recommend it“

“Love this neighborhood gem.“

“Amazing Food!“

“I truly don’t know how this place has a 3-star rating the food is soooo good and fresh!! It’s at one of those cloud kitchen locations so if customer service was an issue for anyone it isn’t a direct representation of the restaurant itself.

My food was made on time and delicious. It was so good I ordered just for me and my fiancé who’s very picky tried some of mine and went back and got some for himself! Lol“

“Vegetarian grape leaves were amazing, nice flavor and texture. Shashuka was very flavorful and bright. Dessert, not going to speak it correctly kinefe(kunefe, when we were in Turkey) was worth the price of admission. Definitely we will be back.“

“Best food and drinks I have had in Columbus!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent service, friendly staff“

“The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. Abdul always makes sure things are made accurately and timely. The food is fresh, hot and made to order. The ingredients have great flavor and they are not stingy with the seasoning. There are 3 sauces...white is mayo based, red is spicy and green is mild but flavorful. The wings are cooked well and saucy, fries are portioned large, fish sandwich is portioned nicely, chicken Philly is wonderful, fish and chicken platters comes with a cold crunchy salad...Havent had the desserts but they look delicious.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Alibaba Halal Foods should definitely be your go-to if you're looking for flavorful, fresh Philly steaks and Mediterranean dishes. The food is made to order, so it takes a little longer than typical fast food, but it's still faster than most places—and absolutely worth the short wait ‼️ 💯

One of the standout qualities is that the food is flavorful but never overseasoned, striking a perfect balance that keeps you coming back for more.

You also have the option to order ahead online, by phone, or for pickup, which adds great convenience if you're in a rush or planning ahead.

The owner does it all—cooking, taking orders, and handling sales—and still remains incredibly patient, attentive to every detail, and always friendly. His dedication truly shows in every order.

If I could give him a 7 out of 5, I would. A hidden gem well worth supporting!“

“This is the most unbelievable food I've had in my life. It was my first time so I wasn't familiar with the prices and items so I just picked whatever looked good. It came out to 20 dollars. Whatever I got was cooked really well and tasted like something you'd find at the most expensive restaurant. One of the things I got was a honey mustard tasting chicken. It was so delicious. The food here is incredibly filling and hearty. I don't even think I could eat the rest of the day after getting something from here. The only thing I didn't like was the nan/pita bread they gave. It was awful.“
