Chipotle style Hummus. The food is wonderful, you can get roasted carrots, eggplant, fried onions, and other toppings. Staff are super friendly. If there's a line out the door, order online, it's about 10 mins, u can walk past the line and go to check out and your food will be ready after 10 minutes. The falafels are a bit hard, but have wonderful flavor. I went here twice in my visit. There is a decent amount of seating, including some outside. The minty lemonade is very minty. read more

Food is so fresh and delicious, they bake pitas & cookies right there and the fries are so good as well. We ordered the falafel bowl and chicken pita and both were really yummy. So many topping choices and you can get as many as you want. read more

Brassica - Falafel bowl and chicken Pita Sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Conveniently located on N High St in the Short North area of Columbus, this restaurant is a Mediterranean fast casual spot that serves up sandwiches or salads that you can customize to your liking. I am glad that (compared to other recent reviews) the glazed lamb bacon is back for this location only, so in a heartbeat, I opted to try that in a sandwich, customizing with the hummus, house sauce, and some vegetables. I also tried the Brassica fries and falafel, both of which were excellent. Normally fries cost quite a lot but this one was only $2.90 for a sizable portion, served up with their house sauce. They even made it fresh to order. Falafel is 4 pieces for $3.90 so standard pricing, and it was not too dry. Dip it with the house sauce - thank me later. The sandwich is a pita sandwich and is soft and warm. While at first glance the server puts few ingredients in, there are actually a lot of ingredients, perhaps the illusion. I really loved the glazed lamb bacon as it was slightly sweet but still carried forth the lamb taste. I was very stuffed after the sandwich, and getting the fries and falafel locked in enough food for the rest of the day. It tastes delicious yet healthy, so I can see why this is a great lunch spot and so highly rated. read more

What I especially like about Brassica is that it's a quick, very tasty meal and it's in a warm, welcoming environment. This location in Short North is very nice, located in a narrow space but still with warm red brick in the entry and the nice wood trays to carry your food. You know it's fast food but you feel like they care about the flavors and the ambiance. The servers were friendly and respectful--maybe a weird word to use but I really felt the two gentlemen working this this night were great -- making eye contact, explaining the foods, making sure you had what you needed. There were two of us for dinner on a Thursday night. Both got hummus bowls, one with chicken (very very tasty, great spices) and one with brisket (love!). Some cukes and radishes, along with house sauce (nice garlicky tang). We also ordered fries - made as you order them, so wonderfully fresh and hot. Served with a pita. Excellent! This is on High Street so parking is rough but there is a paid garage close by. read more

An excellent place to get a falafel sandwich. One of the best I had in the Midwest. I am picky about them, but they were spot on. Don't forget to add the egg plant and pickled carrots, they are amazing. Get the lemonade don't miss on it. The staff were friendly and polite. The ambiance was very good. Paid street parking- might be hard to find. read more

Based on all the reviews, I wanted to come here for lunch. I didn't realize there is a small chain of them in Ohio. When we walked in, the food set up reminds me of Chipotle. I ordered the falafel salad with hummus. I like to think that I had a healthy meal. I enjoyed the veggies that it came with. The only thing is I wished there was more sauce on the falafel. read more

Brassica - Falafel Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My daughter and I did not like either of our meals. Brisket sandwich- super fatty, kept pulling fat out of my mouth. amount of meat was little. Chicken hummus plate was weak again little meat. Left hungry and we are petite people. So shocked at these other reviews as we like to eat Mediterranean. read more

Ordered Brassica for lunch as a pickup, and it hit the spot! The meal was delicious and super filling. The fluffy pita paired perfectly with the bowl, and the falafel had that ideal crunch and flavor. The whole bowl was bursting with taste. My only small complaint is that I wish there was a bit more protein, but overall, it was super satisfying. The food was ready when I arrived, and the cashier was super friendly! Even though I didn't dine in, the place looked cozy and inviting. Would definitely order again! read more

Brassica - Lentils & Rice Marinated Eggplant Chicken Falafel Pita Baba Pickled Red Cabbage Spicy Carrots - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place is definitely worth checking out! This is like a fancy Mediterranean chipotle (like Cava but elevated). You choose from a hunmus bowl, pita, or salad. There aren't many options for the toppings but the ones they do have are high quality. I wasn't sure if you could get more than one topping - they phrase that question like do you want carrots OR cauliflower and I didn't want to pay extra for some vegetables. They're also a little stingy with what they do put on your plate. Like counting the amount of cauliflower stingy. But, nevertheless, it was good and it wasn't expensive. I would recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

Brassica - Salad bowl + brisket - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The wife-thing and I had stopped here for lunch once before several years ago and it was delicious! Many years later, passing through Columbus once again we were determined to return. The falafels are sooooooo good. Fill 'em up with some greens and pickled cabbage and cauliflower and jakapeño and tahini...superb. The sweetest employees and great food is all we ask for. Wish there were one of these in Baltimore. read more

We were looking for a semi-healthy dinner option before a night out, and Brassica fit the bill! This location is a bit tight inside, but they do have a patio out back. I didn't venture out, but heard good things. Brassica serves up the standard MYO salad/bowl/sandwich combo that is pretty much the only option any more. Theirs is great quality, and everything vibes well together, but, anymore, I have to be in the mood for this (the whole reason I'm going out is because I didn't have any creative energy left). That being said, I really do like their food - the chicken falls apart if you look at it, and their bowl base has LENTILS in it. I love lentils. And crispy onions. I got double. Also, they have pink lemonade. Anyway, fun addition to the area, and relatively affordable if you're looking for a bite to eat in the Short North. I'm still going to grumble about the create your own thing, but I do like it! read more

Great food, organic and nutritious. Really cool vibes inside the restaurant and a good selection of beers too. Cashier was a bit oblivious, but it was pretty busy in there. Would recommend. read more

I just places an order at Brassica in Easton, Ohio. The food amount has significantly diminished, as well as quality; however prices just went up. The also charged me $3.59 for a chocolate chip cookie and they forgot to include it in my order!! Not recommending this place and I will not go back! read more

The BEST falafel sandwich I have ever had. OMG sooo good. The tahini cookie was so good too. I love that the food is quick and delicious and the inside has a fancy casual feel! Perfect for a quick bite or even a date! read more

Oh my... I wanted someplace new to eat for lunch. I took a chance on Yelp. I ended up choosing Brassica even though it was a few miles away. Service was great and immediate. The Brisket Salad was excellent! I just chose some food items that I thought I would like. For it to be my first time visiting, I will give it a 10/10. Will definitely be back! read more

I literally cannot stop eating this! It's so much flavor in every single bite! Brisket is finger licking good. I went with the special sauce and it was amazing too! I'd give 10 stars if I could. Chipotle has nothing on the quality of ingredients and fresh taste. read more

TLDR: decent food, high prices, lackluster portions I used to love brassica and would come regularly 2018-2020. I thought the food tasted good enough and it was different enough that it earned my business. But when I returned on my last visit to Columbus I was very disappointed. I ordered online because I was in a hurry and needed something quick. I placed the order at 1:50pm and it said it would be ready at 2:10pm so I was a quoted a quick turn around. I arrived around 2:15pm and everything was ready except the fries but they said they would make them fresh which I didn't mind. I'll start with the bowl, I got lentils and rice and half greens. They definitely went heavy on the greens. Chicken was my choice of protein and they definitely skimped out. You can't see it in the picture and I could hardly find it when I was eating it. I got every topping possible to max my portion size and I will say the toppings were delicious outside of the eggplant. The eggplant was sloppy and mushy but still had pretty good flavor. The hummus, cucumber, and pickled beats stand out as winner and are must gets. I would recommend getting at least two sauces I got special sauce and tahini on the side and put both on top and it really enhanced the bowl. Overall 7/10. Now to the fries. I have to say I am extremely disappointed with the portion size. I appreciate that they tried to make them fresh for me but it was at least 30% less than what I was expecting. I also noticed they skimped on the special sauce. You can see in my picture the container is barely half full. This is a shame because it's a good sauce and lovely to dip the well seasoned fries in. The last thing to mention here is this place is very pricey for what it's worth. My total order was two bowls, 1 chicken for me and 1 brisket for my girlfriend, brassica fries, and a mint pink lemonade (also very good) but the total price was $40. To me that's outrageous considering how much they skimped on the good stuff. For reference I went to shawarma bite and priced my equivalent order and it came out to just over $25. Personally I'll be saving the $15 from now on. read more

I really liked this restaurant. It's no frills but really tasty. They explained it like a Lebanese Chipotle. You pick the type of meal you want (bowl, wrap) and then add your protein and toppings. It's really fresh. It's quick. And most importantly it's really tasty. In a city that doesn't really cater to vegetarians this place is ideal. And I can honestly say it's some of the best falafel I've tasted: crispy and yet not at all dry! If you're an exhausted OSU parent, after a day of traveling or a game and you want quick and easy... come here! read more

Brassica is the restaurant I wish was around when I was growing up and my parents were trying to get me to eat more vegetables. Bottomline: everything has so much flavor and the food is delicious (including all of the vegetables)! This location in Short North happens to be the original, and the employees are super helpful for first timers. The options include a salad or sandwich. The salad is essentially a bowl that starts with rice/lentils and greens. I don't even really like lentils, but I'll eat them here! Protein choices include chicken, falafel, brisket, bacon or veggies. You then go through the line and pick out your toppings. Highly recommend trying some of the sauces. Parking can be a pain given its location on High St, but it's worth it to try the food! read more

Was able to try this location for the first time recently and I was very impressed. Lots of ways to customize your meal to your preferences. I choose a bowl and a pita on the side. Everything was so fresh and the flavors together were delicious and unique. read more

Great options, especially vegan. Definitely a step above chipotle and great falafel. Usually pretty busy but the staff move fast

Located on the lit high st in arts district, this place has the best Mediterranean food I've had in a really long time. Everything is so fresh and made daily! Warm pitas are baked right in front of you. I tried the chicken sandwich with pita crisps and falafel the first time I visited. Soo good! I also tried their famous fries and they are so well seasoned you can't stop licking your fingers. They have decent seating space and definitely put a lot of thought in designing their interiors. Street parking and public parking available if the back lot is full. Safe to say I will be coming here everytime I am in town. read more

Always such amazing flavor. Located in the short north, this location even has a little patio outback which is great. Walking in you are greeted with all the tasty smells to get your pallet up and ready. You can create your own bowl or pita pocket filled with freshly made Mediterranean dishes/items. I love switching things up when I come but no matter what you choose it's going to be full of fresh flavors. This time I got the falafel pita pocket with the roasted eggplant, baba gounoush, roasted carrots, onions and topped off with the lovely green sauce. It's just the perfect combination packed into a pocket. read more

Incredible food. Everything was fresh and high quality. Can't recommend it enough. An upgraded cava.

Ordered via mobile app, walked in and I specifically ordered various toppings online and I did order a gallon of their minty pink lemonade which is offered on the app. The white girl at the front was rude, didn't even say hello and then proceeded to snicker to employees how I ordered a gallon of lemonade...? I even tried to laugh it off with her and be friendly but she looked at me up and down and continued to be rude. I got home... the driest plate ever! I had ordered various toppings and she gave me none of the toppings that I had ordered online. I typically love brassica, I've been to the Lane Avenue location and they are so lovely and the opposite of this location. read more

I chanced upon Brassica for the earth day free falafel sandwiches. I was skeptical about it, but it was the best falafel meal I've ever had and the sandwich overall was excellent. I then had a hummus bowl which was good as well. I'm a fan! The staff is also very friendly. One thing I especially appreciated about this establishment is that when they had a "free falafel" day, it was legit free. No tax bill, no email addresses, no signups, no free "but with the purchase of an equally priced blah blah", it was literally the free lunch they say doesn't exist. Refreshing. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants!! The food is incredible and affordable. I will never get tired of this place. It is so cute inside, and every topping is a great addition to your build-your-own dish. Love love love! read more

Had previously only eaten here as part of events that were to go or catered. Finally went and ate in person. First off, the vibe is pretty cool at the short north location. You do get a good volume of food for your dollar. You basically build you own etc. Salad, bowel, sandwich or whichever you choose. They have non dairy options which is great and you don't sacrifice flavor. Would definitely recommend. The fries are super crisp and tastey as well! read more

We were greeted upon entering by a distinguished gentleman who also seemed to be some sort of head chef. This was my first time here so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The nice man gave me a free sample of the falafel as I've never had it before. It was tasty. The restaurant was spotless and continuously kept clean while we were there. What I got was similar to what most people know as a "rice bowl" except it had lentils and a wide variety of things to choose from such as brisket, chicken, and falafel as well as hummus, deliciously prepared cauliflower and crispy onions. I legit didn't know what half the stuff in my bowl was but it was delicious and very different from the run-of-the-mill fast food we often get. The restroom was spotless and well decorated with a mostly modern look. The (single serve) men's bathroom was well stocked and clean. The price for our food was fair and I'm sure we'll be back to try different flavors. read more

I've been coming to Brassica quite a bit over the last few years. They've got a Chipotle-style process, where you place an order, then go through an assembly line of tasty choices. The staff is always pleasant and the atmosphere is pretty chill. Their best kept secret is the back patio. For the price, it's darned good. read more
