People, I'm being serious here. I love Brassica's falafel sandwich. I love everything about it; the warm, soft pita, the crunchy fresh made falafels, the sauce and veggie add-in options (I usually go Baba and eggplant). Tip- whatever option the sandwich maker suggests just say yes :) Pile it in....the pita can handle it! Every bite is delicious. The sandwich is built so every bite captures a little of everything. The happiest part of my day is knowing I'm going to eat at Brassica. The saddest part of my day is staring at the last bite knowing it's over....no more. I can't tell you how the other options are at Brassica with exception of the fries...a nice addition to the sandwich with the garlic mayo sauce. I'm confident whatever you choose will be a winner but I command you to go with the falafel sandwich first! I'll be back.....just not soon enough. read more

We came in at 9:30 and for the most part people were very nice about it. There was one shaggy haired guy who kept making comments under his breath which a tad bit uncomfortable but everyone else was super nice. I got a hummus plate on accident (it's literally a plate of hummus with toppings) and I don't even usually like hummus like that but this was phenomenal. I added all the toppings possible and also chicken. All the toppings are fresh and flavorful. My favorite was the cucumbers and radish which had the perfect amount of vinegar sharpness and crunch to balance out the meal. I do think one pita isn't enough for the amount of hummus so I took it home and had it with fresh cucumber slices and it was divine. I also tried the chicken pita sandwich which was yummy but I think next time I would get a salad plate. I also tried the fries which were fried nicely and seasoned wonderfully. Would highly recommend! read more

Love Brassica! It's a Mediterranean version of Chipotle and always hits the spot. My favorite toppings are their falafel, pickled cakes, eggplant and cauliflower. Love their sauce options as well. It's always quick and easy to order, even if there's a long line it tends to move fast. Highly recommend for a flavorful and delicious meal! read more

Brassica - Salad Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

Loved it! The food was so good that I forgot to take a photo before finishing my meal. Everything was incredibly fresh, quick, and reasonably priced. The staff member who helped my family was also especially kind and attentive, and I appreciated how patient she was when walking us through all the food options. Overall, the food was a huge crowd pleaser and not a single dish was left unfinished. The tahini chocolate chip cookies were an unexpected surprise - they're perfectly warm and gooey with a nutty, rich flavor. I'm still dreaming about them. Even my parents, who rarely care for sweets, raved about them as well. Overall this is a great fast casual restaurant with delicious, healthy, and satisfying food.

Brassica is our go to in the area for a quick healthy meal. The food is fresh and the service is very quick. Many people must feel the same way because there is a line very often. We generally get take out, but this time we decided to dine in. The dining room was clean and even though I had to wait for my salad it was not long. The staff definitely keep the line moving. It is crazy to see them making the bread. They are ver efficient. Speaking of bread. I could eat the bread every day. It is a circle of goodness and even better when it is warm. read more

Pro Tip: Try Brassarita (minty pink lemonade + top shelf spirits)! I visited Brassica over the weekend, and it was honestly a great experience from start to finish. Let's just be honest that initially I was on my way to McDonalds but was lured in by the glowing Brassica sign. The space is clean and inviting, with a modern vibe that's both casual and upscale. It's dim lit and could very well compete with a nice restaurant. It's much more posh than Van Aken location (more spacious too)! There's colorful artwork on the walls that adds a nice local touch, and the staff was friendly. They were also friendly with guests behind me that were there for the first time. I ordered a bowl and loaded it with all kinds of toppings that were generously served. The line moved very quickly and efficiently. Both the bowl and the pita were delightful, super fresh. I was surprised because I was there on a Sunday night around 8 PM. I'd expect for the food quality to be declining but it was not. Let me reiterate, the house-made pita was fresh and warm! Order it! This Brassica offers drinks, wine, and even margaritas. I haven't seen margarita at other Brassicas. I was floored when they asked to chill the wine for the couple dining in. I wouldn't expect it at Brassica. I liked the vibe so much that I also dined in. The restaurant is very spacious and comfy. It's definitely the kind of spot where you can grab a quick, satisfying meal without sacrificing quality. I'd highly recommend it for later evening Sunday food cravings. read more

This was not my first time at Brassica, but it had been a while. My first time was unremarkable. This, however was far more enjoyable than my first time around. The order process was slightly overwhelming, even for some on who had been there, but the staff made every effort to explain things simply and help us order. The food was outstanding! The diverse flavors, textures and colors made the meal enjoyable to nearly all of my senses! The dining area was well lit, until about 7:30p when the lights dimmed, making it feel a bit like a wine bar. The decor lacked direction, but felt like an attempt at elevating the space in order to justify pricing. Takeaway: give me this food in a chipotle sized que and pass the decor saving on to the customer. (Will get better pics next time!) read more

Brassica is in my opinion a more upscale quick meal compared to Chipotle or Piada. Now while both of those have their own unique flavors. Brassica also has its own unique flavors as well. And they for sure bring it when it comes to flavor. You can get a wrap or a bowl. I always get a bowl which is layered with toppings of your choice. It has rice and some type of lettuce in it. They offer chicken or Brisket as a protein. There are numerous toppings to choose from. Choose them all or choose one. Options are on you to choose. Then top it all off with a sauce. They have several to choose from. I have tried different flavor profiles. And have loved them all. read more

Love eating here! They have wonderful falafels and awesome beverage selections especially if you're not into traditional sugar filled soda. Thank you!! I love getting the hummus bowl! The sweet potatoes are divine as well as the crunchy onions. Yum! My daughter loves to come with me and get the French fries. You order at the counter and your order is ready when you're at the register. Similar to a Chipotle line so there's no wait. You can sit inside or outside. Desserts are available as well. read more

I'm 82 years old and don't have a big appetite. My wife and I went to Brassica and told our server it was our first time.We each ordered a salad and at the cash register noticed our bowls were at best only half full compared to the gentleman before us and all the other salads i saw other customers eating.Food was good, but for over 42 dollars including the tip and one soft drink i left Brassica still hungry. read more

Brassica is a fast casual restaurant that is assembly - style restaurant with middle eastern/ mediterranean food. You can get a sandwich, salad (comes with some type of grain), or hummus bowl. Then you can choose between adding hummus or baba ganoush. Then add a crunchy topping - pita chips or crispy onions. Next add your star of the show which is brisket, chicken, falafel, or pickled vegetables. Then you can add from your choice of pickled veggies - beets, cabbage, cukes, and radishes. Next choose your sauce - they have for option. I suggest the special sauce. You can also add feta cheese. Lastly, roasted veggies - eggplant, cauliflower + jalapeños, and carrots. I always go for a salad or bowl. I typically get the chicken but my most recent visit I got the brisket salad at friend's suggestion. I added baba ganoush - they have some of the best baba. I added pita chips for a nice crunch to my salad. Then beets, cukes + radishes, their special sauce, feta. It was so delicious and flavorful - definitely hit the spot! Don't forget a tahini chocolate chip cookie and a minty pink lemonade. The service is always quick and the staff is always friendly. I'm so happy they opened this location because it's so close to me! read more

Can't say enough good things about Brassica. The food is incredible. Like ACTUALLY fresh, not fake fresh. And you can taste the difference. The staff is pleased to help you!! Zoe and Evan (I believe co-owners) clearly take care of their people, and it shows. This place has quickly become a monthly staple for my boyfriend and I. I hope they continue to grow and expand. I've never had a better cookie in my life. Everything is clean. The music playlist is fun, but not loud :) Eat here, you will not be disappointed. read more

This place is like Chipotle but with Mediterranean food. Great vegetarian options here. Got a falafel wrap and it was delicious. The falafel was moist and flavorful. I also got all of the vegetables, and they were all fresh and added to the wrap instead of just being filler. I especially enjoyed the marinated eggplant. The staff was friendly and efficient. There was a bit of a line, but they were quick with assembling wraps and bowls. read more

Really makes you want to support businesses like this when the vibes are positive and the people are friendly. Food definitely worth coming back again and again read more

Great food, excellent service. Staff is very personable. Loved the falafel. Will definitely be returning.

The options are insane. So many different meats and veggies to try. It's all so tasty. We really love the brisket and falafel with all of the sides. It's like a Mediterranean chipotle on Crack. The service is friendly and easy to locations is easy to find near Crocker park. read more

I love Brassica very much. I remember meeting the owner (who came from Columbus) and other members of their leadership team for a special opening event with Yelp in Shaker Heights, Cleveland (this was around April 2019). I've been to Brassica in Shaker Heights over 10 times now so I was happy to hear that Brassica opened a 2nd Cleveland location in January 2024 in Westlake. I first visited the Westlake location in January 2024 where I was given a complimentary meal courtesy of Yelp Cleveland. I recently came back in May 2024 to buy dinner. AMBIANCE -- fast casual restaurant but the aesthetic inside presents itself as a fine dining restaurant with the wooden interior ceiling and dim light. Super cute. FOOD -- Start off with either a sandwich ($8.90 - organic pita + your choice of fillings), hummus ($9.90 - organic pita + your choice of toppings), or a salad bowl ($11.90 - greens, grains which are curried rice pebbled with lentils + your choice of vegetable ingredients and crunchy toppings). Once you've picked a pita sandwich, hummus bowl, or a salad bowl, then select your protein option. Protein choices are vegetables only, falafel which is made from chickpeas, chicken, or brisket (beef). Next, select a sauce which you can get on the side or have it spread all over your bowl or sandwich. **NOTE - falafel is a $2 extra charge, chicken is $3 extra, and brisket is $4 extra. If you just want vegetables in your salad bowl or pita sandwich, that's included at no extra cost. TASTY -- When I visited in May 2024, I chose a salad bowl ($11.90) with falafel ($2.00) and a side of pita ($1.50) which totaled $15.40. I love that I can add as many toppings to my salad bowl as possible at no extra cost so I always load it up. I got the Z'hug sauce on the side which is a green sauce made out of cilantro. Once I got home and ate, I couldn't finish my salad bowl. I only had about 7 more bites left but I was already so full so you will be satisfied if you eat here. SIDES -- Fries, pita bread, tahini chocolate chip cookie which is vegan I believe, or a side of falafel. Let me tell you right now to GET their pita bread because it is made FRESH just like everything else but it is so yummy especially if eaten right when it comes out of their oven when it is still soft. Their fries are also so crispy and delicious. DRINKS -- Water or their several other drink options such as their minty pink lemonade, kombucha, Boylan soda, iced-tea, or alcohol (wine or seltzer). 5/5 STARS -- I'll definitely be back because I love their healthy food. As an "OG" Brassica eater, LOL, I MISS their lamb bacon as a protein option. Who remembers when they had lamb bacon? It was DELISH so if anyone at Brassica is reading this review, please bring it back to the menu. I read that they have it on weekends only at their Short North location in Columbus, Ohio. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 28/150 total reviews in 2024 - 678 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 May 2024 read more

I was initially going to eat somewhere in the Crocker Park district, but the place was so busy I couldn't get a parking spot. I drove across the drive and found this shopping complex and discovered Brassica, so I figured I'd give it a try. I scoured the menu before I walked in and didn't quite get what it was? I gathered it was a middle eastern style restaurant where you can assemble (with the help of staff) sandwiches and other food to your liking. Ok, sounded interesting, so I went in. They have a menu on the wall but no specific pricing. You can get a nice pita stuffed with Falafel, brisket (both for an additional upcharge) or chicken and another protein stuffed into a pita or salad with toppings and your choice. Ok, cool. I got to the front of the line and they have several workers who assist you at different points of that station as you work your way down. I was a bit confused as to how this worked and what to order, so I informed the gentleman behind the counter. He looked at me like I was crazy, didn't answer my questions and just said "PITA OR SALAD." ok so he was annoyed and borderline rude. Great way to start off! I went with a pita and wanted brisket with it. They lined the sandwich with hummus and then moved it to the sauce section. Again, I was looking at the sauces because I couldn't see some of the labels. I asked which one was which and if they were hot, what they suggest, that I was new, etc. AGAIN, the kid was irritated! GREAT. He wasn't interested in answering my questions just wanted to push me down the line since the place was jamming. I get it, it's Saturday night, your busy and the line's out the door. Fine. Eventually I get to the register to pay and the register lady, who was actually friendly, asked if I wanted fries. I said sure, why not. She did say they're seasoned, so why not. She rang me up and with a beverage, my bill was $20! holy goodness I wasn't expecting that, but ok it is what it is. No fries were ready though, so I had to ask if I wait for the fries or if she walks them out. She said they walk them out. I sit down, and start eating. Eventually, I'm about halfway through my meal and realize no fries. I'm concerned because other patrons are walking by me with their meals who have fries. I become concerned but didn't want to leave my seat. I continued waiting. Eventually, I go up and ask and see a container sitting waiting behind the counter of fries. They were for me, obviously, but since the place was busy, the register lady did not have time to run them out. She saw me walk up and then came around the counter, apologized and walked them to my table. Finally! While the food here was good, I found that they need some improvement here. First, menus and pricing. All they have is stuff written on the wall which can cause backup in their ordering line. They need a price breakdown so people like me can review and not hold up the line. Second, and most importantly, the staff was grossly unhelpful. I had informed the staff I've never been here before and they made zero effort to educate me on how this works on top of NO MENUS. If the staff isn't going to help, then put menus out there explaining how this works. They did neither here. Also, I can look past a few things since nobody's perfect. But, a few small things. I would've been happy to go up and get my fries myself since they were busy, but no one said anything. Also, the garbage by the fountain machine was FULL. it clearly hadn't been taken out in some time, which means someone behind the counter didn't want to be bothered. When I was done with my meal, and I put my tray and garbage on the trash can I couldn't even fit anything in the can. Would I return here? probably, probably not. the foods good but the staff doesn't seem to care to deeply and was overwhelmed and stressed out. read more

A must try if you haven't already, Brassica offers chipotle style, fast-casual, mod-mediterranean pitas and bowls and is a fantastic entry point into mediterranean cuisine for picky eaters. I've visited probably a dozen times over the last year, and not once have I had a poor experience. The workers are quite friendly and accommodating, the service is quick, and the food is delicious and creative. They give the choice between falafel (+$2), chicken (+$3), and brisket (+$4). The falafel is good, but best on its own dipped in special sauce. The chicken is nothing particularly special; I recommend the brisket. It's quite solid and compliments the other ingredient choices nicely. Speaking of, what stands out the most to me are the toppings. Each one gets a unique and flavorful treatment that plays well with each other, but that you can also pick off your pita and eat "a la carte" just as happily. Some examples are 'cukes and radishes, cauliflower and jalepeños, pickled cabbage, and marinated eggplant. This attention to detail really sets Brassica apart from other fast casual spots, and justifies the slightly higher price point. There are a handful of sauces, and the three that I've tried are excellent. But their special sauce is otherworldly. DO NOT go without trying the sauce; get it on the side if you need to. You'll thank me later. If you like fries, these are pretty good, especially with special sauce. As mentioned before, the falafel are also very good a la carte. The mint lemonade was solid, and this location also has bubbly water for free in the soda machine if you're into that sort of thing. I haven't had the tahini cookies. A bit pricey compared to other fast casual spots, but worth every penny IMHO. Do not bring your significant other if you don't want to be begged to go every other day. Don't say I didn't warn ya. read more

Brassica - Salad with brisket and all the toppings! - Salad Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

I have been waiting to get a Brassica on the westside for so long!! This place is delicious and had to get it every time I was in Columbus! I went on opening day, and although the line was SO LONG, they handled it very well and the wait really wasn't long at all! Brassica is a Mediterranean build your own restaurant. You can get salads, hummus bowls, or a pita sandwich. You then pick as little or as many toppings as your want. Everything is built in front of you and is so fresh! We both got brisket and all the fixings and wow was it delicious! The portions are generous and you could probably save some for a second meal if you wanted. We even got a Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie to split for dessert and that was the perfect little treat after such a flavorful meal! I will definitely be back here, as this might be one of my new favorite spots! read more

We stopped at Brassica while running errands in the West Bay plaza and it was a great choice! The restaurant itself was very clean and I loved the casual, yet upscale ambiance. The pitas are freshly made and I watched the employees pulling them directly out of the oven and serving them to guests. They were so soft and warm and chewy, with great flavor. The hummus was also delicious, and my partner raved about the seasoning of the chicken. Everything was fresh and tasty. To top it off, the chocolate chip cookies were gooey on the inside and a little crunchy on the outside, my favorite! We will certainly be back again. read more

Just think.. Mediterranean Chipotle. Get a pita sandwich or a hummus (or Baba based bowl All the vegetables are delicious. The sauces were yummy, we like the special. Falafel was cooked perfect, and the chicken was super flavorful. Baba and hummus were both good. We liked how the greens are finely chopped. We thought they could've given a bit more of the grains, but it was hardy enough. One Complaint was the fries were a little over salted. The Boylin beverages were good. Next time we'll try the Pitas because they looked great. Place was packed. Very nice decor, high end bathroom fixtures. Super clean all around. read more

Getting into the place was interesting in a wheelchair. Lots of narrow turns. Someone immediately helped us and answered questions. They let us get things on the side to try them. I thought garnish veggies was fresh and roasted. The taste of the cauliflower was excellent and not overly seasoned.my chicken pita was also fresh and flavorful. It was nice that the pita bread was solid. It didn't break apart or become messy. They did have it in paper that sat in a brass ring for decore. They have a wide selection of beverages. From hard cider to wines and sodas. I got the mint pink lemonade. That too was very good. VERY GOOD. The staff was extremely friendly and so helpful. Being in a wheelchair I usually get funny looks and ignored but this staff all the people were nice and almost tripping over themselves to help. read more

My co-worker was raving about Brassica to basically anyone that would listen. They had only recently opened and she had already lunched there 4 times. Had to see what the hype was, so Katie and I made a date. First impressions are everything, folks, and Brassica is HERE to stop you in your tracks. Upon entry, I was immediately impressed by the ambiance and warmth of the restaurant. It seemed fancy. I know this is Crocker Park, but this is basically fast food... with a chic attitude. It was hoppin, but we were greeted immediately. You get your choice of either a sandwich, salad, or hummus. Build-on from there. Someone described it as a Middle Eastern Chipotle-style menu. It's so so much more I had the sandwich, which started with an organic pita rolled into dish. The pita alone makes this meal worth every penny. They are baking it fresh in a stone-fired oven right in front of you. I've never had pita this fresh, soft, chewy, delicious. This sets them apart from any other restaurant of it's kind. I added hummus, chicken, cukes, radishes, cabbage, feta cheese, and their special sauce which was a garlic of some sort. I ended up not eating it as a sandwich, but I forked it to savor each intentional bite. So fantastic. I can't wait to try a salad with pita chips next. A manager was walking around to check on people and offered us a sample cookie. He brought us each a full Tahini Chocolate Chip cookie. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was absolutely fantastic. I've also heard good things about the fries- next time! Everything was really delicious, the space was beautiful, and the people were very friendly. It was not a cheap lunch, but nothing is! The value far exceeds. The only negative thing I said was that they need a menu up where you order. I felt a little lost when I stepped up, because the menu board is by the door. They're brand new in this spot, so I'm sure they're figuring things out. I expect they'll be here for a long time- this was a spectacular experience! read more

I'm a newbie to Brassica, but have heard amazing things about it, so I was very excited when it opened up in our neighborhood! You get the choice of sandwich, hummus, or salad. I chose a sandwich. The pita came right out of the oven while I was waiting, and was very delicious. Made from three kinds of flour, it was puffy and perfectly cooked. I chose hummus as a filling, along with greens and some grains and pickled Vegetables. The vegetables are pickled, marinated and roasted on the daily! Topped with roasted red pepper sauce, and some falafel : it was divine! They also offer french fries and tahini, chocolate chip cookies, along with a soup. I did not order those things, but a friend of mine did, and really loved them. There was a very chill vibe, and all of the workers were friendly and upbeat. I can't wait to come back again! read more
