Falafel lentil bowl
Parul V.

One place we miss when we moved from the area is Brassica. We always come when we are in town. For a vegetarian and vegan, this is a great meal. The falafel is very tasty (also not fried with any meat items, if you are picky like us). The pita is made fresh (oven is right there to see). The toppings are a great selection. Fries are a must. It is busy when we come, but the staff is quick and always getting fresh food out. The place is bright and bigger than the short north area (and free parking).

I'm addicted go Brassica. Whenever I visit my friend who lives in colombus, I make sure we go here. The food is just sooo yummy. Got a falafel bowl this time along with their brassarita! Both were tasty- although the drink was a bit strong for me!

We had a tasty lunch at this popular place in Upper Arlington. A nice crowd at lunchtime but staff kept the line moving along. Despite the crowd, we immediately found seating. The room was nicely laid out and kept in clean condition. I had a baba sandwich with veggies. Fresh tasting a quite delicious. I especially enjoyed the extra seasoned eggplant I opted to add. The pita was still warm. Friendly staff and good food make Thai one a good lunch option.

Salad with falafel

[Lane Avenue] 6PM The good - Everything we had was very tasty. Food included a sandwich with hummus and chicken, a salad with hummus and falafel, fries, and hummus plate with falafel. Basically all of these things are variations of each other. All are very tasty. Especially like the pickled veggies and THE SAUCES- try them all. Special sauce especially. I had one of the beers on tap - I think it was Wheat beer. It was fine. Overall a good vibe. The room is clean, inviting, and the staff is friendly - and patience. The 'wish it was a little bit better' - Parking wasn't great. Actually came the day before and it was too packed, so we went elsewhere. Came back and got a spot. The line gets long/slow as each order needs some time to assemble. Not sure how to make it faster but the wait felt slow. This might be a hot take, but I thought the bread for the sandwich was just 'ok'. It was warm, fresh, etc, but it was a bit doughy for my liking. Maybe if they left it in the over for 30 more seconds(?) Portion on the fries was small...ie not really sharing-size. But they were really good...try with all the dips. A bit expensive too. If you're a fan of Cava, you'll really like this place. If I lived here, I'd come back often. You might feel out of place if you don't wear yoga pants/leggings.

Falafel Pita Sandwich

Brassica truly never misses. It's one of my favorite fast-casual Mediterranean spots. It is consistently fresh, flavorful, and reliable. The space itself is beautiful: clean and thoughtfully designed, with greenery, warm lighting, and modern tables that give it a cozy, welcoming ambiance. The service is always quick and efficient, and the quality of the food is amazing. I've tried the chicken, brisket, and falafel, and each protein is equally delicious in its own way. You can tell this place is run with care. They've perfected their system, and I've never had anything less than a great experience here.

Falafel!! They do free falafel sandwiches on Earth Day!

Brassica is and will forever be a Columbus favorite for me and has been for many years. If you have not tried Brassica, you need to go. Every time I go I am always so happy with the food. It has so much flavor and you can tell the fresh quality of their ingredients. The fries are really good too and so is their tahini chocolate chip cookie! I crave their food regularly. You can't go wrong whether you pick the sandwich or the bowl. Go to Brassica period lol

Sandwich, Minty Pink Lemonade, Brassica Fries
Brianne C.

I stopped by Brassica for the first time with a few coworkers. And I will be back! Best described to me as "Mediterranean Chipotle," you choose a base (I chose the pita sandwich) then hummus or a different sauce. Then some toppings, including your protein, before the choice of multiple sauces. I assembled a pretty tasty meal for myself and enjoyed their fries. They also have a house mint lemonade that was delicious. Parking at this location could be an issue, though seating seemed to available while we were there (roughly 11:45-12:45).

This is the fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant of my dreams. If I could, I would open Brassica's all over California and Hawai'i. What is good? Everything! Brisket Hummus Bowl: The first time I got Brassica, I ordered this. . . with all the fixings- if it was on the line, I added it! Includes an organic pita that is light and airy. Falafel Salad: Comes with greens, and grains, and, of course, I added anything and everything. The pickled veg is so, so good. Must order a side of fries, a tahini chocolate chip cookie, and a minty pink lemonade that I mix soda water into to make it sparkly. The customer service goes above and beyond. If you're meeting up with friends you may want to check out the extensive and reasonably priced bottles of wine, beer on draft, or the Brassica margarita.

Brassica is a Lebanese-inspired, Chipotle-style fast casual joint that lets you build your own pita sandwiches, salads, or hummus and chips. I usually get the salad option, akin to a bowl, with a base of lentils and greens. Protein choices include falafel, vegetable mix, chicken shawarma, or harissa-rubbed brisket. I've always gotten the chicken shawarma and the flavoring is really good. Next comes the vegetables (roasted carrots, marinated eggplant or cauliflower), and you top it off with a variety of sauces. My go-to sauces are the 'special' sauce (think tzatziki without dill) and roasted red pepper. In addition, you can add either hummus or baba ganoush, as well as crispy onions or crushed up pita chips to give it a crunch. The ingredients are fresh, delicious, and blend together wonderfully. One downside for first timers is that the menu board is posted on the left hand side near the front entrance, which makes it difficult to view once you get to the serving line. I'm not sure if they have handheld laminated menus, but imagine that could be helpful. In addition, the food is rather pricey for similar style restaurants -- my most recent bowl was $16 without a drink or any extras (i.e. the fries, which are pretty popular). However, the quality is excellent so as long as you're okay with paying a bit extra for high quality ingredients with superb flavor, Brassica is definitely worth trying!

Brassica Fries Falafel Pita Sandwich Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie
Yushi N.

Mediterranean chipotle, as it is popularly described. Brassica somehow manages to balance classy decor with a casual atmosphere. Like she's so fancy but for what lowkey. Meals are picked up at the counter as your food is built assembly line style, but the staff are very efficient and friendly, often offering to deliver food to your table if a specific component is still cooking. Some people go wild for Brassica's food; I think it's just ok. Fairly reasonably priced sandwiches with flavorful fillings like cauliflower and eggplants! However, the food runs on the salty side for me - I kept craving a drink (which maybe is part of their scheme idk). I mostly like Brassica for their fries - the seasoning on them is spacial and the special dipping sauce is so garlicky *chef's kiss with a wonderful breath* I do feel like the fries could be a lot crispier though :/ I earned a comfort tahini chocolate chip cookie this time too and I quite liked it! Love chewy cookies and will never say no to a little flakey salt on a dessert huehue.

Salad with Brisket | Brassica Fries | Minty Pink Lemonade

I took a quick trip up to Columbus for the day and decided to stop at Brassica for some dinner before driving back to Cincinnati. They were so busy the line was literally out the door. It was freezing outside, but it was worth the wait. The salad bowl was so fresh and the brisket was lean and flavorful. My boyfriend and I had to each get our own Brassica fries on the side. They were seasoned perfectly, and the sauce was sweet and complimented the seasoning perfectly. We also tried the minty pink lemonade. I never knew mint went so well with lemonade, but it was amazing. I definitely recommend stopping here for your next meal!

The food is not as good as the one downtown. Portions are smaller and my salad tasted too salty.

This is my third year in a row coming to Mazah Mediterranean Eatery for 614 Restaurant Week, and…read morethey hands down have the best deals--honestly, even beyond restaurant week. Every time, they serve the most beautiful, FULL plates of food with some of the best-tasting Mediterranean dishes I've ever had. As a vegan, it can be tough to find restaurants that are truly accommodating, but Mazah makes it effortless. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes such great care of you, no matter your dietary restrictions. They are genuinely the kindest and most helpful staff I've ever experienced at any local restaurant in Columbus. Being family-run, dining here truly feels like you're part of their family. You can tell how much pride and care they put into ensuring every guest has an amazing experience. I truly couldn't recommend Mazah more to everyone--this place is an absolute gem!

Another stop I made during this most recent restaurant week was at Mazah Eatery! This one was…read moreanother fantastic deal where you got 4 dishes for $20! I was in a time crunch and got takeout, and it traveled perfectly back home! The vibes there when picking it up looked awesome, I'll definitely need to go back for an in person dining experience! I'm a big fan of shish tawook & Mazah's is delicious! I love the chargrilled and garlicky flavors; and the tumeric rice goes nicely with it. The shawarma is also packed with flavor and getting some pita and hummus is a go to call! The baklava is a perfect sweet treat to end the meal!
