“Chicken shawarma is the best I’ve had in my life. Hands down one of my favorite places that I look forward to when coming into town. Food tastes like homemade meals. The owner is the warmest, nicest, most kind-hearted person you’ll meet. So glad I discovered this place. You won’t regret coming here!!Parking: There’s a free parking lot right down the road on the same side of the street, 30 seconds walk“
“Everyone who works here is so friendly and sweet. The food is always delicious. I recommend the gyro (of course) and maybe ask for extra sauce, if you're a saucy girl like me lol the shish kebabs and stuffed grape leaves are also big favorites. They're a great business serving up great food and I definitely recommend trying them sometime ☆“
“First time coming, someone recommended from showdown Cincinnati a bunch of people actually… we were looking for unique food to us, it was amazing!!!! The food was so good, server was so nice told him it was our first time, he was helpful and made it an experience to want to come back to. We will regular this place now.“
“Great little restaurant. Even has outside dining, when the weather warms up.Parking: Parking is what gives them 4 stars instead of 5. There is some meter parking in front and an extremely small lot behind the restaurant. Then free on street parking in the neighborhood behind them. If you are going at a busy time expect to do laps around to find a place.“
“This is a consistently great place to dine, as I had attended a meeting there 1 month prior to my second visit. The servers were very attentive and explained all of the entrees well. The kabob's melted in our mouths, the Falafel was also the best that I had eaten.“
“We came here on a Saturday at 11:30 AM. The food, service and ambiance were top notch. We ordered the Shakshuka, Omelette and 2 Israeli sandwiches to eat. To drink, we got the the carrot and orange juices. Both delicious and freshly squeezed/pressed. The star of the show is the challah bread. Cheers !“
“We literally order everything. We loved the potato’s, the pasta, almond cake, and the carrots but not exactly what I think of when I think of a Mediterranean restaurant.We were disappointed in the wine. We tried 3 varieties but didn’t love any of them.Also the atmosphere is just ok. It is a part of town that is getting redeveloped but jot quite there yet so I wouldn’t recommend sitting by the window.The service was great! And parking lot behind the building. It’s a little hidden right now because of construction“
“The grilled chicken burger is one of the best things I have ever eaten. It is not a chicken breast, they grind the chicken there and add these magical spices, then you eat it alllll! Yum! The Nicest people own this grill, too. Very clean, too.“
“Have been here multiple times and have always thoroughly enjoyed! They serve up the best falafel I have had since moving here a few years ago - very light and crisp but still moist inside and packed full of flavor.Beautiful hidden gem with quick service, delicious food, fairly priced with generous portions, and the people who work here are lovely as well. Highly recommend!“
“Fantastic! Work took me here as a first day welcome and it was informal and perfect for work/social. Tabouleh, hummus pita was great and so was the staff. I debated on 5 star atmosphere only because it was so packed with people but honestly can't hold that against anyone.Dietary restrictions: Veggie, pesca, GF, meat, omnivore, fat, skinny, foreign, domestic...everyone can eat here.“
“The lady/girl that works there is always so friendly and accommodating. My co workers and I go here on our lunch break from work and the food is always ready on time. The food is amazing and so is the service. Prices are very good as well.“
“Great value for money ?The place staff was very welcoming despite coming late.Ordered the chicken shawarma, kofta sandwich, and a small hummus. ? ? ?The portions were much much more than anticipated for a great price ???The in house made bread was great to see ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Would recommend to anyone looking for Mediterranean in Cincinnati. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“Great place if you're looking for a quick bite. Pretty easy to piece together whatever you want ala carte style or just get a combo meal. Falafel was pretty good, crispy enough on the outside and soft inside. Hummus and babaganoush were pretty similarly pureed but good flavor.“
“I can honestly say my husband and I stop here every time we’re nearby. We need to own one haha! I usually make my own bowl (vegan) and my husband loves the Bangkok bowl. We really like the smoothies and quesadillas too.Vegetarian options: Vegan options as well for the dressings“
“I found this gem and decided to try it out today and surly didn’t disappoint I was there 30 mins agoThe staff were extremely friendly , excellent customer service , they even gave my kids sodas and fries on the house , but most importantly the food is amazinnnnnnnng.I definitely recommend this place and this would absolutely not be outlets last time.“
“Top notch service, delicious food, great ambiance. Special thanks to our server Batuhan for taking such great care of us! Food and appetizers were served quickly, he checked on us often. The deserts Batuhan recommended were superb.The hospitality at this place goes above and beyond!We will definitely be back soon!“
“I recently dined at Lentil's Grill and was thoroughly impressed with their Kafta Kabob Platter. The flavors were exquisite, and the perfectly grilled kafta was incredibly juicy. The generous portion size left me satisfied, and the accompanying sides complemented the dish perfectly. The ambiance was cozy, and the staff provided excellent service. Lentil's Grill is a must-visit for those seeking a delightful culinary experience.“
“There's a parking lot. The building is kind of cool looking and there is a large lawn that has cornhole. I got a Veggie burger for $12, and it was alright. Very mid. I wish I got fries and not chips. My mom got a chicken dish that she thought was a bit plain. She wouldn't get it again. If it was sooner in the day, it would have been nice to sit outside. The manager was quite nice but the server was... aloof. I would come again only if my friends wanted to go.“
“My wife and I ordered takeout. We arrived at the restaurant about 10 minutes later and our food was ready for us. I had the lamb gyro and my wife had chicken shawarma on rice. Both meals were bomb bomb! Generous portions, and lots of meat. Staff here is always friendly too! One of our favorite local spots.“
“The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very relaxed. It was my first time trying this particular version of Mediterranean food. The highlight of the meal was the the Turkish Baklava.. If you were to only get one thing, I would highly recommend this. I'd sell a kidney for this baklava.“
“Amazing quality and flavor! We ordered dinner for a group of 15 people and had the gyro meat, falafel, dolmades, Greek salad, pita, hummus, baba ganoush and baklava. All of the food was so fresh and so flavorful. We were so impressed and will definitely be back!“

“Today I decided to visit Q BarbeQ. Upon entering their establishment had been very clean. Their staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. With a cost effective menu, my choice had been simple a Lamb Q, fries with garlic sauce, hummus and a salad. My food was fresh and tasty. I highly recommend giving Q BarbeQ Mediterranean Grill a try. If you're in the area. You will not be disappointed.“
“I am a regular to this restaurant. My usual order is the Classic Gyro meal with fries and a drink. Sometimes I get a cheese coney as well because the chili is phenomenal.Nice environment on the inside of this family owned establishment. I know the owners and they care about customer service.I’m heading there now because writing a review is making me hungry!“
“This was easily some of the best Middle Eastern cuisine I’ve yet tried in Cincinnati! The price was right, the atmosphere was good and the food was superb. I highly recommend the Kafta- even the rice that came with it was better seasoned than anywhere I’ve been. 10/10.“
“Good food for the price. Portions are a little small but a gyro for $10.50 isn’t a bad price. The roasted red potatoes are so flavorful and well seasoned. Definitely worth ordering. A good stop for quick+healthy Mediterranean food!Kid-friendliness: High chairs and a kids menu“
“Aladdin's is phenomenal for almost any type of food preference, from meat dishes to vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian most people will be able to find something here that they can eat and I have to commend them on that. Past that the food is delicious, flavorful, and light. Their hummus and tabouli are phenomenal starters and any of their rolled pitas are worth a try. If you are in the mood for Lebanese or Mediterranean styled dishes it is a fantastic option.“
“Stopped by Sunday 10/22 after reading the November 2023 Cincinnati Magazine Article on the restaurant.We had lumpia, fried tofu, fried tilapia and escabeche pompano with side of garlic rice. All dishes were excellent. Excellent flavors and fish was cooked just right without being overcooked.Kris (owner) was a pleasure to chat with and we will definitely be back. I want to try to tocilog and lechon kawali :)“
