    Good food and busy atmosphere. It was pretty packed but we were able to grab a spot at the bar.

    Brassica is one of my favorite fast casual restaurants. Their food is always made fresh and I love the option for something healthy and quick. The service is super fast and 90% of the time you'll have a friendly and helpful staff.

    Brassica is one of my absolute favorite fast casual restaurants in the Columbus area. I'd say it's like a tastier, higher quality chipotle that offers unique flavors with a cool ambiance. I love that you can build it yourself and always recommend getting naan on the side. I'd definitely check this place out if you're a fan of Mediterranean food. They even had hot fries which was a nice surprise. I think they're even starting to serve margaritas at some locations, so I'll definitely be back to try those. Only down side is that they have somewhat limited seating, especially if it's a nice warm evening.

    While in Columbus, I stopped by Brassica, and it did not disappoint. They serve customizable bowls and pita sandwiches loaded with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. I ordered a pita stuffed with chicken and soft brisket -- both so tender and juicy. They let you add as many veggies and sides as you want, so I went all in: sweet beets, cucumber and radish, cabbage, eggplant, carrots, cauliflower, and their special sauce. My pita was THICCC and absolutely packed -- every bite was flavorful, crunchy, and satisfying. It was honestly the best decision before my concert -- healthy, filling, and full of veggies and protein to keep my energy up. And even with a line out the door, service was super fast! I also grabbed their tahini chocolate chip cookie, which totally surprised me -- soft, gooey, and perfectly balanced with that nutty tahini flavor. If you're in Columbus and want something fresh, customizable, and seriously delicious, Brassica is the move.

    I somehow missed this on prior trips to Columbus, and I think when it popped up in my search I just didn't believe it was going to be anything special. How many fast food or fast casual Mediterranean spots are there? Tons. But this was right up there with the best of them. A charming brick location in a hip area, this place was steadily busy. The options were many, and the execution of the fast casual concept was excellent; no extra charge for loading up on toppings, but they are categorized so you're picking from a set of pickled vegetables, a set of fresh vegetables, a set of spreads; this "chunking" (in psychology terms) prevents analysis paralysis and makes ordering easy. The result was immensely appealing both in appearance and in taste. I got a fantastic mix of flavors and a nice balanced meal with greens and grains. Every bite was different, and the from the hearty falafel to the lightly charred pita and everything in between, quality was top notch. Ordering fries got me a fresh batch brought to me when they were ready. And it came in at a very reasonable price. They have several locations, and as long as they keep up the same standards, one would struggle to find a better casual meal than this.

    Clearly a high quality establishment with great food and fresh ingredients. Ambience is great, the options seem small, but it's packed with food and flavors. Want a quick, delicious meal? Perfect. Delish. I'd come back if I'm in the Columbus area. Server was always smiling and nice.

    This Mediterranean place exceeded my expectations. I haven't had it for four years and after four years it still hits. It's a way better version of Cava to me. There's a lot of options and it just taste so good. I don't usually order a drink but their homemade drinks are really good. The ambiance is very casual. I recommend getting a cookie from them it was phenomenal!

    We stopped here for a quick dinner during a work trip on a weekday evening. I could not have been more impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant, the kindness and competency of the staff, the presentation of serving line, and the incredible flavors of this food. After we finished our meal I immediately searched to see if there was a Brassica local near me and unfortunately there are not. I loved this experience so much, the food felt so fresh and healthy but tasted incredible. I am very excited for this company to keep expanding because what they are offering is top tier!

    In town for a conference and was looking for something quick, delicious, and a step up from the usual fast-casual spots--and Brassica delivered on all fronts! Think Cava or Chipotle, but Mediterranean. I built a salad bowl and went half chicken, half brisket (because why choose?) and loaded it up with all the toppings. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and honestly way better than I expected for a grab-and-go type of place. The brisket especially was super tender and seasoned perfectly. Also loved that I could sit and enjoy a glass of wine with my meal--definitely not your average fast casual experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful too, which made it all the more enjoyable. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Columbus!

    Delicious. Friendly service. Cutest little spot. Sat up front with the windows open to the street. Did not get to try the tahini chocolate chip cookie but they looked amazing. Everything Cava wishes it could be.

    "LAS CUCARACHAS!!" -Lengthy review May 27th, 2025 around 8:30pm So let's start with the good: Great ambience, food bar is well organized and appeasing to the eye, friendly young staff members--they even made suggestions on what to purchase based on popularity. Plenty of seating and an outside patio just behind the restaurant. Okay, the not-so good: As I'm approaching the register, I see a stack of chocolate chip cookies... and what else? A roach crawling up the side of them. Stunned by it but not wanting to cause a scene, I guide the staff member's eyes towards thier six-legged friend. She then proceeds to the kitchen to alert others about my discovery. What made the situation unsettling was that everyone stood in disbelief and didn't take any immediate action. She returns with a napkin to throw the cookies away while one grabs the roach and another coworker walks up to the register. As the new staff member is about to ring me up, which I found appauling given what just happened, that's when I saw a SECOND ROACH heading towards my order. I had to call the manager over myself, away from approaching customers. Once I brought it to his attention, the manager did offer an incentive to come back, which I appreciated. He also explained a reason for the infestation would be renovations above the restaurant. It showed some level of accountability, even if the initial response lacked urgency. I'm hoping management takes this seriously and that my next visit [pending] will reflect better cleanliness and attentiveness from the team. This place has 4+ stars.

We started with a Hot Apple Cider, topped with maple-infused whipped cream and cinnamon, along with a couple of hot coffees. The cider was warm, comforting, and full of cozy fall flavors. Unfortunately, the self-serve coffee station wasn't kept stocked, and after waiting quite a while for a refill, we eventually gave up. For breakfast, we ordered two Mushroom Frittatas, a Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, and a side of Housemade Breakfast Sausage. The Mushroom Frittata featured three hearth-baked eggs with roasted mushrooms, sweet onions, and Gruyère cheese, served alongside breakfast potatoes and a peppery arugula salad. It was flavorful, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Although I informed the staff about my peanut allergy, I was surprised to find the crispy breakfast potatoes on my plate, which left me uncertain whether the allergy request had been fully communicated to the kitchen. The Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, served with strawberry preserves, was one of the highlights of the meal. It was flaky, buttery, and wonderfully moist, pairing perfectly with the sweet preserves. The Housemade Breakfast Sausage consisted of two peppery pork patties that were juicy and well-seasoned, making a great accompaniment to the rest of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious and filling breakfast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. While I wish the coffee station had been monitored more closely and that greater care had been taken regarding my food allergy, the Mushroom Frittata and fresh biscuit alone make Northstar Café worth returning to.

    Formal Complaint: Unprofessional Management and Order Fulfillment at OSU Campus Location…read more To the Executive Team at Roots Natural Kitchen, I am writing to formally express my profound disappointment regarding a recent experience at your Ohio State University campus location on Father's Day. The lack of customer care, patience, and professionalism I encountered from the Manager on Duty was entirely unacceptable, and doesn't deserve even a half star, but I had to choose one. On Father's Day, my family ordered five bowls, two of which were seasonal bowls made with the original ingredients with the exception of extra lime. One of these bowls was specifically meant for my husband, who is currently in the hospital. I had raved to him about your restaurant, as it was one of the few healthy options he could safely enjoy during his stay. Unfortunately, the meal was prepared with a blatant lack of care. Even after it was made clear that this was a special meal for him, his portion size was equivalent to a half-bowl, and it was entirely missing the onions and tomatoes. Seeking to resolve the issue, I called the restaurant and was placed on hold. When the phone was picked up, the staff member did not offer a greeting, a name, or any indication of who was speaking. I politely stated, "Hi, I was holding for the manager," to which she abruptly replied, "This is." When I asked for her name, her response was unclear and unkind. Despite maintaining a calm and respectful tone while explaining that my husband's hospital meal for Father's Day had been made incorrectly, the manager was immediately combative and argumentative for absolutely no reason. Instead of offering a basic level of customer service or empathy, I was met with disrespect. Your company's mission proudly states: *"We strive to empower people through radical accessibility to natural food."* Unfortunately, the radical lack of care and professionalism I experienced completely contradicts that standard. Because of this deeply disappointing experience, I will no longer be a patron of your establishment. Furthermore, I will not be recommending Roots Natural Kitchen to anyone moving forward, including for any future corporate or community events I coordinate. I hope you address this leadership and service failure with your OSU campus team so that no other customer is treated this way in the future. Sincerely, Latisha Roland

Great for big groups, date night, or even just chilling with friends. Not sure if it's the standard here, but there was never anyone filling our water during the entire dining time after they left 2 bottles of water on the table. Our server is patient and friendly but not on point. They messed up our orders, forgot one order and brought one wrong (we ordered smashed burger but received chicken sandwich). Very surprising that the staff didn't do anything or offer to send in the correct order. The chef of table service for Tomahawk is fun and enjoyable to carry conversations but unfortunately our Tomahawk was overcooked. We loved the presentation for sure though. Their smoked ribs is not "smoked" but boiled and soaked in sauce. The "smoked" part refers to its presentation, but their machine was down, and we were not told, so we basically got the ribs, neither smoked in cooking method nor smoked when it was brought to our table. The donut tree is another one great for eyes and cameras. It comes with little fireworks at the table service. Overall we enjoyed the breeze and atmosphere here. Will come back for relaxation if in town.
