Unfortunately the last several times we have gone here for carryout we left missing an item. They have always taken care of it right away but it is still inconvenient to have to go back and call them because something is missing.“

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!“

“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“

“What would it take to get this in California? I think I referred at least ten new diners here during the week we spent in Columbus, and they all loved it too! Hearty, healthy meals at an accessible price point, delicious as all get out, and almost entirely gluten free! Many of the diners I referred are gluten-free and they all enjoyed their options here. I dined here twice and got the sandwich and the salad, and both were absolutely incredible. The brisket? Melt in your mouth. We even shared lots of our meal with our nine month old baby (baby led weaning), and he also approved wholeheartedly! The service was friendly and professional, and the space was clean and had a lovely atmosphere. The local friend who recommended it to me told me not to miss the tahini chocolate chip cookie, and she was SO right. Moral of the story is, I need this in the SF Bay Area, stat!“

“It is a great choice to meet up with friends . Food is excellent and service is great.“

“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.“

“SO good and LARGE portions for a very reasonable price. Very nice staff and it’s a must try!“

“Amazing Food!“

“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“

“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!!“

“I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Geek Bits Dublin, and it was fantastic! The lamb gyros were absolutely delicious—packed with flavor and so fresh, you could truly taste the passion behind the preparation. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. I’ve visited several Greek spots over the past week, but this one stood out above the rest. The freshness, the flavors, and the genuine hospitality exceeded all my expectations. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Absolute top shelf. Great Tapas. The happy hour menu was right priced as well.“

Menu is incredible as well as their food. The owner is super cool and so hands on and personable that you know that everything is done with Love!“

“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 !“

“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“

“Great food as always. Never disappoints“

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

“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!“

“Truly amazing 🤩 food and service. Atmosphere is authentic Greek! Very rare today.“

“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“

“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“
