    I stopped in for a late lunch/ early dinner on a weekday. It was not very crowded. I had never been in before so I was browsing the menu. The guys behind the counter did not offer any help & seemed annoyed when I asked questions. I ended up ordering a tawouk sandwich meal for $21 & a mixed grill meal for $28. The sandwich chicken was dry even with the sauce. They put the chicken, sauces, pickles & fries inside your lavish & grill it. We could not tell the flavor of the pink sauce? The orange sauce was a bit spicy and the white was garlicy toum which I liked the best. The fries are just battered restaurant wholesale fries- nothing special. I actually would have preferred rice. The mixed grill was tasty, but again dry and for $28 you didn't get much. The mango & strawberry drinks were good. They also add a service fee if paying by credit card. I thought this place was going to be the bomb! There is better Lebanese food in town, especially for the price. I don't think I'll be back.

    The place looked clean & the proprietor was very nice. I asked what the pink sauce was and he gave me a sample to try. However, I was disappointed with the food. My friend and I each ordered a chicken kabab which was listed on the menu as including chicken and salad. However, mine consisted of chicken, french fries and a pickle. No salad whatsoever but LOTS of fries. Plus, the chicken was an elongated chicken nugget - breaded or batter dipped and deep fried! I've ordered a lot of chicken in mideast/mediterranean restaurants (chicken tawouk, chicken shawarma) and never got anything like that so it never crossed my mind to ask if it was going to be deep fried. Plus all those french fries?? I won't be going back.

    The food was incredible and so was the service but it took a minute to prepare. Also the music was so loud I couldn't hear myself think, so it's not a place I would return to for a casual lunch. However, I work locally and would continue to recommend this place to my friends and support the community.

    This place has some delicious food. You place your order at the counter and they cook the food right in front of you. It did take about 10 minutes for the food to be prepared/cooked, buts it's definitely worth the wait. At Farooj Abo Al Abed, nothing is pre-cooked, reheated, or microwaved. Every protein starts raw, fresh, and goes straight to the charcoal. That means your order may take a little longer--but that's the secret behind the flavor. Think of it like your own backyard BBQ , except @aboalabed.ohio does the grilling, the flipping, the seasoning , and the saucing!!! Trust me..... This stuff is DELICIOUS . Pro foodie tip: Ask for one of each of their sauces. They are very unique and incredibly delicious. When you stop by, don't forget to tell them: recommended by @ohiofoodie614.

    This is the first USA location for what is supposedly a Middle Eastern hotspot (they have 66 locations in several countries). They are so popular that even without a Google profile and barely a webpage, their lines are out of the door. We ourselves waited 90 minutes (dumb, I know, but FOMO) to just order our food (which did arrive within 15 minutes of ordering). The restaurant is very new and they are still working out their kinks, so give them time and bring a lot of patience if you are going there soon-ish. That said, my signature spicy chicken wrap was fresh, however the fries were stale. They have some unique drinks (similar to those at Al-Manakeesh), and some appetizers that I am unfamiliar with, but want to try the next time I go there.

    Pros Generous portions Courteous staff Location easy to find Cons Door was still locked 12m after opening Wait time What I got Musahub meal. I wanted the towouk but they had just opened and said it was a 15m wait. I ended waiting the same amount of time maybe more for my meal bc there were lots of people working the kitchen and grill but only 1 person working the register and preparing the orders. Overall i was very full and honestly this meal can be shared for 2 people. A bit pricey but I think cheaper isnt always better. Nice atmosphere. Very clean. Helpful toward customers. Imo the chicken lacked flavor it was ok but not memorable. I expected more flavor and more char. I wouldnt go out of my way like I did this morning to drive there. But If im in the area again Id give it another try. Do not recommend going when they first open. Garlic sauce was solid and the pink sauce was ok. I did not try the spicy sauce. Mango drink was cool. Fries were fries :) 7/10

    There was so much hype in this place, so we had to go and check it out ourselves. We waited more than an hour to order food. The line to place order was literally out of the restaurant. They have few good tables, but since they're packed, good luck on grabbing a table (first come first grab.) When we finally were able to order, I ordered the spicy chicken wrap and fires were stale. I waited another 1/2 hour to get my food. The wrap tasted ok, but the fires tasted stale. I keep hearing that the line is so long because the food is made to order. Well, my fries did not taste fresh. It was just stale fries. For me, it is not worth for me to go back with the long lines to order and get my food, especially when the good is just "ok."

    Tried their signature chicken which is grilled chicken in a thin pita like wrap. You can see them grilling the chicken kebab style and the meat is tender and smoky. Even though there is chicken in every bite, I feel the price is steep for a chicken wrap.

    I went their for lunch it was not too busy at that time. But it took a long time to get my food. The service was great though. They manager gave me a few extra items for my wait. The sandwich is a decent size it tastes really good. I will say I was intrigued by the pink sauce. Because of its color I thought it would taste a little sweet, but it is more on the savory side. Even though it was good i feel like it's overpriced. The restaurant has plenty of seating and there's plenty of parking outside.

    We had an absolutely amazing experience at this new Lebanese/Middle Eastern restaurant! The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was outstanding from start to finish. The pink sauce deserves its own shoutout -- truly exceptional. They were kind enough to let us sample a lamb shoulder that wasn't even on the menu, and my husband said it was the best lamb he's ever had. The chicken tawook meal was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the eggplant appetizer was insanely good. Even the little details impressed us -- the French fries were delicious and the mango juice was amazing and refreshing. Clean inside, no issues at all. You can tell they care about quality and customer experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try!

    COMPLETELY OBSESSED! We've ordered from Farooj twice and both times it was amazing! My husband almost cried the kababs were so good! The portions were great and we absolutely loved the mini bucket with lemon garlic sauce! I have been telling all my friends to check it out! The service is always spectacular at this restaurant and despite being busy they were quick and efficient!

    Stunned!! Have been meaning to try out Joya's for a long time, and finally got around to it. We had…read morea bit of a wait, but for how busy it was, they are quite efficient! One of the servers came around with samples of their new drink, which was Oaxacan inspired tea and such a phenomenal first experience. I could have had a gallon of the drink! I ordered the Kati Roll and the chicken sandwich for my husband to go. The Kati roll is the best savory meal I've had in months! The first bite made my eyes go round with how flavorful it was. It had a bit of sweetness that balanced with the other flavors so beautifully. The chicken sandwich was also a 10/10 from my husband, despite being eaten an hour after ordering. Though, if we had to pick one, we'd say the Kati roll would win. We were seated almost immediately after ordering. Despite how busy it was, it didn't feel over-crowded. They told us about 45 min for our food, since they were so busy and backed up, but our food arrived not even 20 minutes later. Also, everyone we interacted with was so kind and pleasant! Honestly, everything we tried was perfection. As a Bengali myself, I was overjoyed with the representation. I can't wait to come back (maybe on a weekday when the line might be shorter?)

    09/13/26: Today was my first time at Joya's and it was well worth the wait!!…read more Food: 10/10 ! We ordered two Kathi Rolls, one Bengali Chap Cheese, two Cafe de Ollas, one Egg Chop, one crispy treat, and one carrot oatmeal cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The flavors were not overpowering and we could tell the recipe and combination of the flavors were well thought out!! Ambience: it's a cute cafe - very inviting atmosphere although a little small. Service: incredible! The line outside was long and it was a hot day - one of the wait staff came out to give us free samples of one of their drinks. They also have an outside cold water station. The staff were very informative and helpful with the menu, and were on top of their game with bringing food out and cleaning tables along with maintaining friendly vibe! Would I recommend/return? 100%. I can't believe I hadn't been here earlier!! I'm certainly going to be a frequent flier here :)
