    Food is SO GOOD! The chicken is flavorful, the rice is great, not over cooked or undercooked, the salad is good and the veggies are great and the spicy potatoes are

    Lamb/Beef shawarma combo with chicken

    FIRE!!! This is in the hood but all the great spots are in the hood. I will definitely be coming back to this spot for sure.

    Chicken Shawarma Combo with rice.
    Elissa B.

    The service was great! The Chicken shawarma combo was the lunch I ordered today. The sandwich came on a freshly cooked pita bread. The chicken was well seasoned and the garlic potatoes were the highlight of the meal for me! I highly recommend Al Madina Grill!!!

    Chicken Shawrma Combo

    Al Medina Grill has amazing food with AMAZING flavors. I order for lunch and trust me it was enough food for two meals. My Chicken Shawrma Combo was amazing, filling of flavors and very fresh. I will definitely be ordering food again!

    Falafel Sandwich
    Vandana M.

    I got the falafel wrap and sesame cookies with date stuffing. I'll give 5 stars for the quality and taste of the food. Wrap's bread was home made and grilled to perfection. The falafel and the sauces were on-point. There isn't any other place in the area that makes better falafel. The sesame cookies were so good too! They weren't too sweet and a good treat. There isn't really any seating in there so it's a pick up place. Parking: There is a paid parking lot next to the restaurant.

    If you've been to UC, you know this gem of a place. Al-madeena hits the spot. Fair warning: this is essentially a takeout establishment. There are seats to have your food, but it's not a dining experience in any way. I came in with friends and got the Falafel sandwich. My friends got Chicken shawarma. Being essentially fast food, the wrap was ready immediately. None of us were shy and got it spicy. And oh my God - so good! They didn't skimp on the falafels or tahini. It was a good wrap. My friend asked for garlic sauce and they just gave us some. For $8, this was a good meal! For drinks, they do have most soda and juice options up for purchase. I also spotted packaged cookies and baklavas in case anyone wanted to buy them. Parking is limited to on street parking and I've never not found parking there. The folks working there are cordial and nice. No problems ever with service.

    Red Cabbage Salad
    Liza F.

    The food is incredible! We ordered a variety to-go and the quality, taste and portions were more than we imagined. Chicken shawarma, tabbouleh, grape leaves, red cabbage and baba gannouji with fresh pita.

    Lamb Shank (Friday Only)
    Quincy C.

    Quick take out food with phenomenal Friday Lamb Shank. Pros: Quick, quality, great price, friendly staff, lamb shank Friday's. Cons: None Got a quick dinner last night and on Friday they have off menu Lamb Shank. It was huge, juicy, and wonderfully flavored at 16$. Staff is always friendly and explain any questions about the food. GF got the sandwich combo and all the combos come with lots of sides. Amazing spot on campus that I highly recommend any day of the week.

    Chicken Shawrma Sandwich
    Marisa T.

    One of the best, if not THE best, restaurants in Cincinnati. The food is unbelievably delicious; you can't go wrong ordering anything on their menu. My personal favorites are the chicken shwarma sandwich and the vegetarian platter. The baba ganoush is out of this world as well. My only recommendation would be, if you go at the end of the day and notice the meat is at the bottom of the pan, order a vegetarian dish because sometimes the meat gets dried out. But the vegetarian dishes are excellent so it's a win either way!

    Amazing shawarma, love the vibe of the restaurant, however I would give a 5 if it wasn't for the area that it's in! But overall great place!

    Small but convenient to my workplace and can grab something Halal rather than usual suspects

    Food is fresh especially the pita is straight out of the oven, limited seating so best for carry out
