After visiting again for dinner, the service was much quicker moving through the line to order! As always the food was good, the decore is nice and chill. I think the brassica has earned its 5 stars now that the wait is very reasonable! read more

Brassica - Falafel Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

So thrilled to have a Brassica location in Cincinnati!! It lived up to everything I love about the Columbus locations, with a few kinks likely from being newly opened. This location is on the other side of town but I'll definitely be back for a treat when I'm in the area! I ordered the hummus plate with falafel and I was told they were out of falafel, so they called to the back to make another order. However, my husband right behind me also wanted to order falafel so by the time they got to him, they called back another order which caused some confusion. I think it made our order a little later as we were waiting but no issue! We weren't asked at any point whether we wanted the order to go or not, and we did. When I noticed the food going into their signature gold rings and "for here" dishes, I asked whether we could get it to go but I think caused some confusion and it wasn't switched to to-go until the end when I asked again. Through all of this, the employees were friendly and did the best they could! Our meals still turned out amazing. The warm organic pita is sooooo yummy and I wish so much I could make anything similar at home! The menu is very straighforward, only a couple options (plate/bowl/salad) which makes ordering a breeze (sort of like a chipotle ljne). But, there's so many options to choose from- veggies like pickled cabbage and beets, roasted carrots, feta, sauces, crispy onions, etc- and for someone unsure or new, it's hard to know what is included and what is not. For example, I know my dad would be super flustered by this menu and asking a bunch of questions. I think it would be easily solved by the person making the food saying something like "these veggies are included- would you like any?" Our food was so delicious and colorful! Their hummus is smooth and flavorful and their falafel rivals some of the best Mediterranean restaurants around. For being "faster" food, this is one of the most delicious meals around I believe! Also, it comes at a pretty good value- our two entrees, with added on falafel, plus one order of brassica fries was $36 which I feel like is pretty good these days! Oh, and don't skip the brassica fries! The spices on them are warm and unique, and they pair so well with the dipping sauce included. read more

My friends have all raved about Brassica in Columbus so I'm glad we got a chance to try it in Cincinnati. I'll admit I recently tried Cava too but Brassica is more elevated. There was a steady flow of customers for dinner but we got through the line quickly. There was a wait for falafel so my friend and I got brisket instead. I tried all the vegetables and it filled me up, the pita was too much food! We sat outside with many other tables and it was a little windy once it got darker but I would definitely bring my other friends here. read more

The food was delicious and I enjoyed the location. I had the falafel salad with Minty Pink Lemonade. The falafel was cooked fresh and the lemonade was very refreshing.

My friend has tried to get into Brassica a few times and it was packed with a line out the door. Today we decided to get there when they opened. We were indeed the first customers on Friday morning (11 am). We looked at the menu board and decided to go to the counter and get schooled properly. The folks behind the counter were all super nice and helpful and it all became clear and quite simple. I loved all the options and the fresh pitas looked fantastic. That said, we both ended up with salads. The toppings were all excellent. The resulting meal was huge and delicious. After we both had paid, but before we sat down my friend said out loud, "Oh yeah, they have fries. Let's get some and I'll pay". The person behind the counter overheard and said she'd add fries and they would be on the house. Wow! This is not something seen very often. It was fantastic customer service and the gesture that pushed my review to five stars. The fries were wonderful. They were both crispy and light. They were also slightly spicy and one of the best fries I've ever had. We chatted for a bit after finishing, but Brassica wasn't finished yet. The proprietor came up and asked how everything was. He was genuine and had a huge smile. He offered to take our trays away... and he did. Icing on the cake. I didn't plan to give Brassica five stars, but they low-key earned it read more

Wow, this place is amazing! From the moment we walked in we were impressed! It was a very welcoming atmosphere. We arrived around 2pm and there was a line to the door! There is indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is simple but awesome and everything is customizable. It's kind of like a Chipotle but Mediterranean. As your base you choose a Hummus Bowl, Salad (Cabbage, Kale, and Lentils), or a fresh baked Pita Sandwich. I got the Salad Bowl, my husband and son each got the Brisket Pita Sandwich, French Fries, Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Minty Pink Lemonade (free refills) to drink. Everything was fresh, very flavorful, and tasted amazing delicious! They were making the pita right in front of you. Can't get any fresher than that! The prices were average. Customer service was great. Even the water temperature in the bathroom was perfect! We definitely recommend this place and we will be back! read more

Brassica has officially landed in Cincinnati at Harper's Point and we are loving it! A fast-casual Mediterranean spot with build-your-own bowls and pita wraps, made with super fresh and flavorful ingredients. Safe to say this is already a new favorite, highly recommend checking it out! Service is a bit slow which gets frustrating when it's a rush inside. Theres plenty of seating inside and outside. read more

Love Brassica and am thrilled we finally have one in the Cincinnati area! Hubs and I went in a Thursday evening. I had the brisket hummus bowl and he had the brisket pita. We both added from the selection of delicious vegetables: roasted carrots and eggplant, cucumbers and beets -- so good! Hubs added the fries to his order and he loved them! There was a line out of the door when we arrived - probably around 6:30-ish, so be prepared to wait or try off-peak hours since you aren't the only one who is eager to enjoy Brassica. The line is not fast-food speedy: helpful servers carefully prepare each order as you watch. And it's so worth it! Interior has the feel of a casual sit-down restaurant. You seat yourself in at a table. Plenty of parking in a big lot. read more

Brassica is THE best fast casual food in the area! After dining at the Easton location, I have been dreaming about that meal, and was ecstatic to see one open closer to me. But, why oh why did they put a location at Harpers Station?! After a to go and an online pick up experience, I can confidently say that I always want to have lunch here when I'm passing through, and they have things to work on. Pros: everything tastes so good! Would order the hummus over the baba ganoush IMO. It's awesome so many of the options are GF, and made with olive oil. So many flavors on flavors...if you like bland food, this is not for you! :) Cons: the to go, pick up, and parking experience. First, food is not ready on time, or even 5 minutes after the listed pick up time. And they do not seem to care how late the food is, there is no urgency or empathy. Second, the signage is slightly confusing, there are two different parking lot signs that both read like it's for pick up, but only one of them are. Third, if they don't give you a bag to keep your to go food in, it's cold by the time you get it home. The first time I ate here, I had no choice but to take it with me, as there was no seating and it was much too loud. Fourth, they need to label the to go sauces, especially for people that this is their first time trying them. Finally, the parking is BANANAS! They should have chose a spot that had access to the entire parking lot of the shopping center...there were people parking everyone and walking. So, although they need to tweak and work out many kinks, their food is next level, so it's bittersweet to eat at Brassica. Please add a location to the great Cincy area, like Liberty Twp! read more

Brassica - Chicken & Falafel bowl, with almost all the toppings :) - Mediterranean Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm so glad that I don't have to go out of my way driving to Columbus to get Brassica anymore! I took my friends here for their first time and they loved it. Similar to Chipotle, you chose a salad (bowl), sandwich, or hummus at the beginning of the line and choose your hummus/baba, proteins, fresh vegetables, sauces, and can additionally order fries (a must when eating here). Everything you see on the line is fresh and vibrant. Staff is very nice, attentive, and good at recommending options when you're stuck on what to get for the day. If you're dining on the weekend, be sure to get there early because the line can get out the door at times! read more

...And just like that I have a new favorite fast-casual restaurant: Brassica! I visited unknowing they technically haven't even had their grand opening yet and are still working out the routine. I could hardly tell! Staff were knowledgeable and recommended sauces and encouraged me to try basically all the ingredients! The staff assemble a salad with grains or pita sandwich with your fav ingredients, I literally loaded up with all I could. Fried cauliflower and jalapeños, pickled red onion, smoky baba, cukes and radishes, and soooo much more. Zero complaints. With a water to drink, the salad grain bowl set me around $15 which is heavy but very worth the quality ingredients and a happy belly. Let's see more Brassicas in the region!! read more

Brassica - Mediterranean Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was really impressed by this restaurant, even coming in with high expectations based on good things I'd heard. I thought the food would taste too different compared to what I normally prefer, but it was all so flavorful and fresh. For a really affordable price, you can get a sandwich on a super soft pita, build a salad bowl, or hummus plate. Many of the add-in ingredients come at no additional charge too, and serving sizes were large. I like how this is an elevated fast casual experience because it can be a quick stop while still having great quality. read more

Ive been wanting to try this new location for a while on recommendation of a co worker, but wanted to let the newness die down a bit. Came here around 1pm with co workers for a late lunch and the line was out the door. We decided to wait it out and were impressed with how quickly and efficiently they moved through that long line! The restaurant has plenty of nice seating inside and a huge gorgeous outdoor patio so finding a spot was easy. I went with the salad because watching them making the fresh salad base won me over, especially when they squeezed the fresh lemon over it. I added the chicken which was very tender and fresh, hummus, eggplant, and much more. For a drink I enjoyed the mint lemonade. If you get the salad plate make sure to ask for a to go top, as I could only eat half of it and had the rest for dinner! My co workers had the pita and pita plate with brisket and were equally impressed. This will be added as a staple to our lunch rotation. Great spot! read more

Brassica - Falafel Sandwich x Fries x Cauliflower Soup - Mediterranean Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I've been hearing so much about this place I been dying to try it. For starters it's Lebanese owned so it's true Mediterranean food which puts the expectations high and they definitely did not disappoint. It's almost a chipotle style food service but with a nicer more modern interior + patio to sit. Everyone working was nice n friendly, I chatted with Sydney and Danielle while they were making my order and they were amazing. I ended up ordering a hummus plate with chicken and the brisket + all the yummy toppings. The food was so delicious and fresh in my opinion it was worth the 30+ minute wait. I love that I could eat the entire plate she still feel good and energized after. I am perfectly okay waiting the time if the food is worth while and it is! Will definitely be back. read more

Hubby and I stopped here for dinner and loved it!! I had the hummus plate with falafel. He went with the salad with chicken. We both added on the veggies as we went down the line. It was pretty busy when we first queued up, but the staff was efficient and the line moved pretty quickly. At the beginning of the line you can see the oven where they bake the pita fresh. I watched as the gentleman carefully laid the discs of dough on the pan and slid it into the oven. I got to watch the pita puff up into beautiful domes of fluffiness!! And they were so good!! My falafel were also yummy!! Crispy on the outside with a delicious filling inside. These and the veggies were placed atop a generous smear of hummus. The pita was warm which topped off the perfect meal! read more

A friend suggested this as we were both starving but wanted something tasty. It was my first time but it won't be my last. We ordered it to go but kinda wished we'd had time to eat there as it was a beautiful day and the outdoor seating looked nice. I had the pita and while a teeny bit spicy, it's to be expected. Lots of customization options which ai really appreciated and a good value. Maybe most surprising was the chocolate chip cookie which was listed as vegan - definitely could have fooled me, it was very tasty! read more

Brassica - Hummus bowl with chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm so happy that they opened a Brassica near Cincinnati! I use to drive all the up to Columbus just to get a salad bowl. The flavors of the protein are delicious. I usually get the brisket, but my friends like the chicken there too! It's like a Mediterranean Chipotle. I love the option of making your own salad bowl, but they also have the option to make a sandwich in their pita bread. I recommend getting the fries and their lemonade with your meal. It's so filling, but you don't feel gross or too full afterwards. It's just perfectly balanced. The service is quick and it's really nice inside. I love eating at the restaurant, but the food stays delicious if you get your meal as carry out! Brassica is a place I always recommend to people. read more

Absolutely delicious would recommend going to this place!! Beautiful clean sterile experience was totally worth it

So happy to see Brassica come to Harper's point! Imagine a chic Mediterranean version of chipotle! I've been twice so far and have tried the salad bowl with chicken the first time and falafel the second. Both were delicious and you can choose from a variety of different dips (hummus or baba ghanoush), pickled or spicy sides, and mujudara (lentils and rice) as another base, etc. everything is so fresh and delicious. Lines have been long the past couple weeks but it moves fairly quickly. Staff is super friendly as well! read more

So so good. Pita wrap with chicken margarita fries with the dip will definitely be back next time I am in town. It's so good I may be back again tomorrow read more

A middle eastern fast casual. Fantastic concept & flavors. I'm so glad they opened one here ... the original is Columbus. We both got the bowls. I had falafel ... the veggies are terrific ...

Light on the meat -- 3 small pieces of pulled pork which was tender but slight. Be prepared to wait in line anytime around lunch

Service was fine, very loud inside- food not as described on menu. Probably won't return. Pita sandwiches with brisket, meat was very dry, clearly had been sitting out a while- asked for cabbage as menu states- girl said no cabbage just greens- ours were NOT Loaded with greens and some was iceberg lettuce- gross- At almost $14 apiece the best thing we can report is the organic pita's were fresh- Other than that, very dry beef- a few teaspoons of greens, - price point is way overpriced for quality- Hopefully, just working out the kinks from opening...we may try later in spring but definitely not on our go to list- read more

Brassica - A few pieces of meat were edible- loaded w greens- ? Not so much- gross - Mediterranean Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I am a die-hard Brassica lover but, sadly, not all of them are equal. I had been looking forward to having one closer to home, been checking the news for the opening of this location for at least a year. On first try, my spouse and I were disappointed/ totally heartbroken. The food tasted very bland. Eating it was like being requested to go to the morgue to make an identification of your best friend - what's in front of you is just a shell. I am not sure what the reason is for the flavor discrepancies. We noticed the same issue with the location near Shaker Heights in Cleveland, which used to get the flavors right until about the end of last year. The location in Columbus (along I-75, on our drive from Greater Cincinnati to Cleveland) still serves OG Brassica. This might be the case for the FBI... Until it is resolved, we are absolutely not going back to this and the near-Shaker-Heights location. read more

The food is so yummy! Workers were nice, although the service was a little slow. I think it's just growing pains of being a fairly new establishment. So glad to finally have it down in the Cincinnati area! Forgot to take a picture, but you can never go wrong with a salad there! read more

I personally think this spot is a little over hyped. Beautiful building. It's not a nice new sit -down restaurant. It's fast casual, but not fast. It is more like a Mediterranean chipotle or Currito. Nearby Currito, has better chicken and is much more efficient. We tried to order takeout at Brassica the other day and it was 2+ hours. The next evening at 5 pm I went to order takeout at Brassica (hummus, pita and some chicken) and it could not be ready until 10 pm. The day I did manage to get food, I found the hummus a bit watered-down and flavorless. The carrots were overcooked and over seasoned. Rice and lentils were ok. Chicken shawarma (seasoned chicken) came in tiny pieces, small portion. Seemed like more seasoning and oil than chicken. There is a sign that this area could support a nice restaurant. read more

Two of us went for Friday lunch. We sat outside. It was noisy but ok. I got a brisket bowl with most of the veggies. It was real good but the meat wasn't plentiful. There was some fat though. The other order was a spicy chicken bowl. It also had hummus, which was reported to be good. This bowl was reported good, would order again. Service was friendly. I would go again. read more
