“Great environment, great food, great people“

“Food and service was great...Atmosphere is good too.
Doesn't feel like a Franchise place.
Recommend for large groups, individuals, small parties. Friendly staff.
Entree platter seemed bigger than appetizer combo platter in my opinion“

“Great food as always. Never disappoints“

“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“

“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!“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“My son and I love going to Brassica in Upper Arlington. The people are always friendly, the food amazing, and the atmosphere uplifting. Everything on the menu is delicious - and it is vegetarian friendly. You can't go wrong here. The staff really works well together as a team and they take great care of their patrons. We feel very lucky to have this business in our community!“

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

“Evan is literally the nicest person ever. Shared so much about the menu when we came in a few days ago, and let us try a sample of the grilled chicken and the egg plant. Even stopped at our table as we were eating to check in. We highly recommend the food, but the service we were given was better. Will definitely come back when we’re in town again.“

“I love this restaurant and the people who make it possible to dine here!“

“I’ve been to Del Mar many times over the years, and it has consistently been one of my favorite places to dine. My go-to dishes are the tomato salad, the open-fire roasted shellfish platter, and the lobster spaghetti — and they are excellent every single time. During my visit tonight, I ordered the lobster bisque, the tomato salad, and the lobster spaghetti, and the food was just as wonderful as always. The quality of the cuisine is one of the reasons I continue to come back. Another reason I return so often is the outstanding service I’ve received from many members of the staff. Over my visits, I’ve had several exceptional servers — Emma, Hope, Shelby, and one or two others whose names I unfortunately can’t quite recall (possibly Ella or Lydia). All of them have been attentive, thoughtful, and consistently professional. But if I had to highlight one person above the rest, it would be Emma without hesitation. Emma represents the very best of what great service looks like. She is attentive, detail-oriented, and always checks in to ensure I have everything I need. One example that really illustrates her level of care: whenever I order the tomato salad, she has the kitchen chop it up to make it easier for me because of my visual impairment — even though I’ve never asked her to do this. I don’t expect every server to do this, because everyone is different, and not everyone knows or thinks of these kinds of details. But the fact that she notices, takes initiative, and consistently goes out of her way means a lot to me, and it makes my dining experience smoother every time. Her consideration doesn’t end when the check is paid, either. Even after I’ve finished my meal and am simply sitting for a little while to finish my drink or wait for my ride, she still checks in on me periodically to make sure I’m comfortable and don’t need anything else. That level of consistent, genuine care is rare, and it’s one of the many reasons she stands out. If any end-of-year recognition or promotions are being considered, she absolutely deserves to be at the top of the list. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the service during my visit tonight. My server introduced himself as Ed, and while I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt — especially since I cannot see facial expressions or body language due to my visual impairment — the overall lack of attentiveness was noticeable. Before my lobster bisque came out, he stopped by briefly to say that he had dropped off a soup spoon. I said “thank you” and asked for a Pepsi, but I didn’t realize he had already walked away while I was speaking — something that can happen to me because I can’t see when someone leaves. The Pepsi didn’t arrive then. When the lobster bisque came out, I asked again for a Pepsi. Later, when I reached for the drink, I realized there was no straw. I felt around the table to check if he had placed one somewhere I might not have noticed, but there wasn’t one. The next time he came by was when my entrée — the lobster spaghetti — was served, and that was finally the moment when I could ask for a straw. These are small things individually, but they added up and affected the experience. The part that concerned me most, however, happened when it came time to pay. When Ed brought the check, I handed him my credit card. After processing it, he came back with the touchscreen payment device and said, “The machine is in front of you,” as though I would be able to see or operate it. When I politely explained that I couldn’t see the screen, he responded with, “So with the 20%, your total came to $114.05,” which made it clear that he had already selected the tip amount on my behalf. To be clear, I was planning to tip 20% anyway — so the amount itself is not the issue. What bothered me was the assumption and the lack of communication before making that decision. With servers like Emma and the others I’ve mentioned, I typically tell them, “Can you please add 20%?” and they take care of it with no problem. In this case, that communication was skipped entirely. Overall“

“Stopped by tonight and can't wait to go back. Best gyro both my husband and I had ever had. It was huge and so fresh, and the staff was super friendly and fast! There was the cutest Mom and daughters in the store who I think knew the owner and even they were really friendly. Seriously can't wait to go back, don't sleep on this place!“

“Best food the rice bowl is 🔥“

“I order here literally almost every week. I need a rewards card lol. With my dieting they food has been the best. Very fresh and flavorful. I’m pretty sure I’m yall number one customer lol. I always get the salad bowl with either cauliflower or chicken. My daughter gets the chicken rice bowls.“

“Great food. The service is impeccable.“

“Delicious, affordable, and super friendly atmosphere! Yappy Greek is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious, the prices are great, and the vibe is warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! 👏🇬🇷“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“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!😋“

“Consistently delicious food and friendly service! A great place to go with family. The food is so healthy, you feel good eating it! I love the salads and hummus, chicken wraps, Jasmine’s Favorite platters, carrot cake. Everything we’ve tried is great. We’ve eaten in twice and ordered catering once. Excellent every time.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great environment, great food, great people“

“I placed a large group on-line order for the Marion location and it was ready right at my pick up time and they even called to confirm my order. Everything was correct and the food was delicious.“

“Very nice atmosphere with a vibe of NYC and Columbus! The customer service from the owner was stellar and very personable. The lamb platter was phenomenal!! The lamb and rice was seasoned well with the right spices. I would definitely recommend Halal Munchies to any one visiting Columbus and even to OSU students.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience and great atmosphere“

“I eat here often and have never had a bad experience. I usually get the Gyro salad or Lamb Gyro. The salad is enough for two people and highly recommend. This place is pretty healthy for fast food and you will spend equally as much at any burger chain.“

“Great Pasta. Top notch service and wine selection!“

“Great food, been taking out since 1995.“

“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.“

“Alibaba Halal Foods should definitely be your go-to if you're looking for flavorful, fresh Philly steaks and Mediterranean dishes. The food is made to order, so it takes a little longer than typical fast food, but it's still faster than most places—and absolutely worth the short wait ‼️ 💯

One of the standout qualities is that the food is flavorful but never overseasoned, striking a perfect balance that keeps you coming back for more.

You also have the option to order ahead online, by phone, or for pickup, which adds great convenience if you're in a rush or planning ahead.

The owner does it all—cooking, taking orders, and handling sales—and still remains incredibly patient, attentive to every detail, and always friendly. His dedication truly shows in every order.

If I could give him a 7 out of 5, I would. A hidden gem well worth supporting!“

“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.“

“Great place for your nightly dinner pizza 🍕 and wings are the best .“
