“decadent coffee, smoothies, waffles and and treats. something for everyone! my 9 year old daughter always asks if we can stop by when we're in the area. it's so unassuming on the outside, but the inside is just as wonderful as the drinks and food. the service is really good and the people are always friendly. i really do love this place and hope it stays around for a long time. 💚“

“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!“

“Our group of five dined here for the first time last night and we will return soon! We tried a variety of dishes including an appetizer of fried zucchini, gyro, wild caught salmon, moussaka, and steak and chicken souvlaki (kebabs). All were delicious. Our server was friendly, efficient and accommodating.“

“best Lebanese lentil soup! I'll go out of my way to get carryout.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Anytime I am in Hillard OH, this is THE PLACE TO GO! The food Is AWESOME! the hummus, babbaganaush and tabbouleh are soo fresh and delicious. Falafel and other Mediterranean delights are fresh and homemade. The fresh baked bread and sweets are out of this world! The staff is exceptionally friendly and love to tempt your palette with something new and exciting. Oh and did I mention the market is stocked with everything you need to light the fire in your creativity. There is every spice you will need, even the hard to find ones. Thanks Jaffa for the tip on the spicy red Zhug sauce, little dab on the hummus and a fresh hot falafel...YUMMMMM. Until next time thanks Halal, I will be back!“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“Had a wonderful first experience @ Lane Ave location! The service was a 3-star except for the wonderful young lady who rang me out , she was a 5-star+!! I wished I’d gotten her name! Food was delicious!! A bit skimpy on brisket (for $4 upcharge) but we’ll definitely be back“

Everything else they have that I have tried has been fairly priced and good. The staff are nice and parking has never been a issue for me. I will be back!“

“💯 been money since it opened! Love the @dumplingsoffury, @meatballmafia, @cheesecakegirl, popcorn, @twosteptacos, @hotmess, and the cookies by @bakesbylo, all with your favorite craft beer pairing from @crookedcan. Wonderful addition to Old Hilliard!“

“Was a little disappointed. Food was wonderful n great flavor. But I only ordered onions, lettuce, cucumbers and tzaki sauce on my falafel. I got no onions, they added banana peppers and tomatoes. Would of been nice to get my food The way it was ordered.“

“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“

“Great gyros and fries ! Always very kind and quick service !“

“Upon entering we were greeted by Jahlyia and she was so pleasant and helpful as we looked over the cakes.
She seated us and her personality made it obvious we had made a good choice to dine here.
In the past many of the servers were cold and dismissive but jahlyia made us feel welcomed and important.
Helpful with our menu selection and attentive to our needs. This girl is a keeper and makes the environment just that much better!
The food was incredible as always and the value makes it easy to comeback again and again!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“We LOVE this place! Couldn’t love it more. Bishoy and Mary are the kindest, most personable people at any restaurant or business I’ve ever been to. The food… oh my, the food is out of this world. Sooo fresh. Such authentic Greek flavor. Try the tiramisu for dessert!!“

“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!“

“I highly recommend a trip to Arabian market. Saber and the staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with finding products or offering suggestions. The selection of items is extensive, with a wide variety of spices, and unique ingredients. Located in Smokey Row Plaza, it's easy to get in and out. Go find something new and awesome!“

“The all in one plate is my new favorite for lunch, each part was fantastic. Just tried their Greek coffee, it was delicious (I normally drink coffee or espresso black). This may need to get back on my weekly rotation! Pastitsio and stuffed peppers are both great but filling. Wish they offered a mini serving of their spicy feta, I can't justify ordering it when I am dining solo.“

“Excellent service, friendly staff“

“Great food as always. Never disappoints“

“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.“

“My husband & I had the privilege of dining at Z Cucina in Dublin on Valentine’s Day. The concierge’s at the front were wonderful, and our most pleasant experience was not only they food, but our wonderful waiter, Benjamin. He is such a great host at one’s table, but has an expert knowledge of the menu. I will request him again!“

“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 ❤️“

“Everything cooked with love and they treat u like family best food on the north side my family eat it 2-3 times a week“

“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“

“Traveling for work. Staying two exits away. WORTH THE DRIVE YUM“

“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!“

“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.“

“My first Gyro in YEARS and I will be back! AMAZING.“

“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.“
