“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!“

“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.“

“I don’t know why this place does not have 5 stars because the food is amazing! Hummus is smooth, pita is soft, halafel is super crunchy on the outside while soft and moist inside. The condiments and sauce are also incredible, worthy of being stars on their own. Staff is very helpful and spot on with the recommendations. Plus they have minty pink lemonade! 5 stars all around.“

“This was quite good! Its basically a Mediterranean Chipotle. You can pick and choose what you want or select a menu bowl. We got a few different types of chicken and the braised beef. Beef was ok but chicken was very good. We tried several of the sauces, dips and toppings and it was all very good. Nice touch adding the calories on the selections so you can keep track.“

“This place is awesome! Delicious food, clean atmosphere, so many choices to choose from for the meal, very friendly and nice workers. Great location. Brenna was the one who made my bowl/ rang up my meal, and she was great! The manager Zac was nice too. I don’t know the name of the cook(s) but thank you to them as well. I’m currently pregnant and a picky eater, and this food definitely was approved by my little baby!“

“It was so good omg“

“5 stars! The food is consistently fresh and delicious. Their grilled chicken has a unique spice blend that you can't find anywhere else. Quick service and friendly staff. A special shoutout to the entire team for their hard work, and especially to Belal, whose exceptional service and welcoming attitude made the experience extra special. Highly recommended!!!“

“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.“

“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!😋“

“Good place for pakistani food... very friendly and humble owner .... recommended“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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 ❤️“

“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!“

“Found this place by googling Caribbean food near me. I was so excited to see a Haitian food come up! I’m from south Florida and you just can’t find a ton of Caribbean food spots here in Columbus, oh. Didn’t realize it was a food truck, but the food and the young lady who took my order was amazing. I LOVE!! Will go back soon and probably more times than I should. I got the Griot with black rice and plantains. Also, ordered 4 Pikiliz because I just love it and love how spicy it is. I also added the oxtail sauce on my rice. Like seriously made me feel like I was back home! Prices aren’t bad either. I believe the large was on $12.50 and they charge for the pikiliz and oxtail sauce, but definitely worth it. So, go try now!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent service, friendly staff“
