“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!!“

“So many good things to say! The staff are so incredibly nice and friendly, their oreo frappe is delicious, and prices are comparable to other coffee shops around. They have a nice assortment of food and desserts and large drink menu. I definitely recommend giving this place a try!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 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“

“Amazing Food!“

“Amazing excellent food. Folks, very simply, YOU need to taste it.
Our server, Olivia, she was awesome, kind, dedicated, and super knowledgeable about the rich mediterranean cuisine they offer.
For the owner, keep Olivia as your daughter, never lose it her.
I went with my family, and we tried Jasmine's Favorit, Flavor Savor Special, Mediterranean Lamb Plate, Baba Gannouj, Spicy Califlower ... so delicious you can eat your own fingers. The dessert was on a whole other level. As I said at the beginning of my review, it is amazing, excellent food.“

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

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 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.“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“Great food, been taking out since 1995.“

“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!“

“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.“
