“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.“

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!“

“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“

“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 trying and I will definitely be back. Authentic and delicious with generous portion sizes. I got the mix gyro platter and I think I might already be addicted 🥹 the samosas are packed full and very tasty. Very helpful employees that helped explain the menu as well- highly recommend! 😁“

“I love the meat here. Also their sauce is really good. I used to go here alot more when I wasnt sick and more mobile and they always would make a tray for me special because I was picky. I rechecked door dash and I'm positive it doesn't let u order gyro meat by pound. Please change this because it's easier for me to order from you.“

“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.“

“Great environment, great food, great people“

“I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, but I kept missing them when they weren’t open during the posted hours. Yesterday they were finally open, SO glad I got to try it because the food was amazing. I seriously cannot stop thinking about it.
Lamb and chicken rice bowls were delicious, even the leftovers were incredible. Definitely worth the wait, and I’ll be back whenever I can catch them open! Gotta try the sambus next.“

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

“Fantastic food! Our family is super picky about food quality and ingredients… we are gluten and dairy free. Alladdins is accommodating to both. Fast and super friendly service. This will be our go to restaurant when in town for a track meet at Spire! Perfect fuel for our athlete“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“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!“
