    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.

    Wow. This fast casual Mediterranean option needs to expand - it was so good that I cannot wait to go back again. First, the restaurant is adorable inside, but quite small, so you may have to wait for a table...or take it to go. On the same page, the staff is extremely friendly and it was great that they were taking time to explain ingredients since many of the customers were new. First, start with the Cauliflower and Tahini soup - there is so much flavor. The paprika & sesame are awesome and make this something you can't get other places. For the entree, there are so many options, I can't wait to go back and try other combinations. However, I absolutely loved the roasted carrots, sweet beets, cauliflower, and eggplant. That combo of veggies with the chicken on the pita was incredible. I promise you won't be disappointed.

    I had a delicious falafel salad with extra add-ons and a tahini chocolate chip cookie. It was fantastic! Friendly service.

    Brisket bowl w/ roasted vegetables, hummus, salad and quinoa/rice.  Healthy and full of color! Try the roasted red pepper sauce with it!

    Food was delicious, with the right ambience and friendly staff. Definitely try the brisket!

    Where has this been all my life?!! This is my first time and I loved it. As soon as you walk in the door the incredible aroma of the food, lets you know it is going to be good. The staff was very friendly and helpful in guiding me through my options. I went with a brisket sandwich and it was amazing. Every bite was spot on. I also loved the decor. Trendy and nice. I'll definitely be back.

    Workers were amazingly nice. Restaurant was clean and had a bunch of seating. Ended up stopping here during a road trip and ate the food later but was still amazing. Wonder what it would have tasted like fresh! The eggplant was my favorite of all the toppings that I got on the hummus bowl

During this time, the table next to us were receiving their appetizers. The waiter walked away not noticing us. By this time, our bread was gone and no wait staff had approached us to ask for drink order or food order. Another table next to us seated more customers. As the waiter came back to the first table to check on them, he then walked past us to wait on the new table. At least 15 minutes had passed since we walked in. We decided to approach the manager who was also waiting on tables. He assigned someone to us who was not the waiter on both sides of us. The waitress apologized that she was unaware of serving us and we began our requests. Though this situation was very uncomfortable for us, and was offered no compensation, it did end nicely. The food is delicious. What is most disturbing to us is this is our second visit to this restaurant and the same thing happened before. We had no wait staff come to us for our order! The exact same manager had to be flagged down and told we had no wait staff. He ended up taking our order. I have never seen anything like it.

Even the owners stop by your table to see how things are going, and they are extremely personable. I indulged in the beef kebabs, which were so perfectly seasoned and tender. Seriously if it was in my budget, I would eat here every single day. You must stop in and treat yourself to quite the enlightening experience. It's not a 5 star, it's a 10!!!!!
