This food cart is operated by a very nice and considerate guy. It was very hot on the day we went…read morethere. He was concerned that we were standing in the sun. He insisted that we should wait in the car and he brought out the food when it was ready. The falafel side we ordered was very good. I couldn't tell if they made them fresh there or they were store bought. The gyro was a disappointment as the meat lacked the typical authentic flavor. The sauce was way too thick. They excel in the chicken wings. I highly recommend getting the chicken wings which were seasoned with very good spice. I didn't even know that fried chicken wings are part of their cuisine. The baklava was okay. I actually find it not sweet enough. I can't believe I said that because most time this dessert is too sweet. The portion size is very good for $3. Yes, they raised the price on their menu items too but the menu on the truck doesn't reflect the new pricing. This seems to be a thing here in Columbus.

To me, the quintessential carryout finger food is middle-eastern cuisine. Pita sandwiches, falafel…read moreballs, wings, fries! Had to try out the top-rated middle-eastern food truck in Columbus. We ordered several gyros sandwiches (a deal at $6/each), wing meal combo, and a side of falafels. Surprisingly, the poorest part of the order were the gyro sandwiches. Size was good but the gyro meat could have used more searing, plus the yogurt sauce was actually too thick and copious. The wings and falafels were the stars, both appropriately moist and crispy. Sauces for both were tasty too. 4 folks could eat well for under $40. And the guy manning the truck and cooking was very nice. This place is definitely worth the trip and $$s.

Salaam is fine dining in Athens but that doesn't mean the pretension that term typically conveys…read more The Mediterranean cuisine delivers what you would want - hummus, baba ganoush appetizer or mezza plate combos. I typically opt for the grilled lamb chops (generous portion) or the lamb kebab. You can also get wraps if the full dinner portion, usually with grilled vegetables and a rice pilaf or french fries choice, is too much. If you are a cold tea person, the Moroccan Mint Iced Tea is a favorite for sure and it is endless. Good wine and local beers selection. A number of the waiters have been there for years and really know the place, the patrons, and the vibe. Annie's Salad is great, just wish it was included as an option for the entrees as it used to be pre-COVID. Lovely ambiance and decorations. Big room and can at times get a little loud but still feels intimate at your table in the non-standard shaped room with pillars, screens, and nooks breaking it into smaller de facto sections.

This place is one of Athens' best kept secrets. What looks like a small storefront opens into one…read moreof the most appealing dining establishments I've been in since getting to southeast Ohio in 2019. The ambiance is inviting, with simple but incredibly well placed decoration throughout. And the scent of grilled meat walking up to the door.... I don't even remember waiting for the table, just sitting down and tearing into pita bread. The hummus has character, the tzatziki? Finally! Enough dill! Remember that real Mediterranean olives have pits - this is important for dental work! The shawarma and gyros graced our table, and we're a memory before too long. They are fine dining, so the price is a little higher on the entrées than I normally go for, but it's worth every penny no doubt. Delicious.
