    I wish this would have been a 5 star review (which I hardly give) because I like having something so different as an option. The pros: -food came out fast -interesting & fun flavors -you have to order first to be able to get a table outside - great vibes & atmosphere -the patio sitting -really like the long counter sitting option -beautiful bathroom w/ thoughtful accommodations -the guy at the counter w/ lip piercings was friendly & had recommendations, but some of the other staff came off as less friendly & overall they're all young. The cons: -it's a bit expensive for what it is -the cocktail was lacking all the flavors it mentioned (& a bit on the weak side) -they don't have their real menu up online to see what they offer (almost half the menu is missing) -not a patio that you can enjoy taking a while on (there is high demand for those tables & there are people that will stand outside waiting for you to get up which was uncomfortable). Overall, the pros outweigh the cons but probably won't ever waste $14 on a cocktail there again. I do look forward to trying more of the menu.

    Saw the chef who owns this restaurant on the Food Network TV show 24 in 24. It seems like there is always a line around the corner but don't be too intimidated. It does go fast (15-20mins). It does seem like most people are ordering the drinks or togo. They have this fermented chai which I did not try but the sweet chai was great. Ordering was quick at the register and they were able to seat us inside. The food also came out relatively fast. Please note on Saturdays during the summer. The farmers market is going on from 8am to 12pm and it is very busy in the area. Parking is going to be 3-4 blocks away. The restaurant is also located in what I would call the downtown shopping market area of Worthington so it is already pretty bustling! The food was delicious and innovative. The tacos had a great crisp, and the cheese was super flavorful. They is also was a sweetness in the meat. The breakfast sandwich had very soft texture and some sweetness. You can also get the Bobby version that does have some spice. Overall, the eggs in the sandwich are cooked perfectly so soft the bacon adds nice fatty crunch.

    First time here. Always wanted to try because just passing by this place is always packed. Just knew it would be amazing. 1000/10. Love the vibe and food here is amazing. Everyone's so kind makes me so happy to eat from here! Enjoyed our food in the park.

    Lamb roll

    Lamb roll was super flavorful and a big size. It was a tad greasy but doesn't ruin it. Id come back to try their other items as well.

    I underestimated the size of the fried rice for sure. It was delicious but a very large portion. It was breakfast time. I also had a vanilla latte that was delicious. The service was good and so were the vibes. Indoor and outdoor seating options are available.

    I got the egg toast in a box and it was DELICIOUS. I can't wait to go back to Columbus to have breakfast at Joyas again! Everyone was so sweet and the cafe was super cozy and nostalgic!

    It was crowded today at 11 am. I waited I. Line with my baby and then they reserved a table for us inside. Not bad of a wait at all, they were very accommodating. I got the tacos with beef and they were so good!! My friend got the joyas fried rice (no spice) and that was lovely too. And the portions were huge, and very good flavors!!

    This is a tough review. I've truly been looking forward to trying Joya's for ages. Met a few girlfriends for lunch. I had the not pad Thai and was surprised at both the lack of heat level of sweetness. Reviews mentioned the dish was sweet but it was overwhelmingly so leaving me wishing for some salty balance. The chicken samosa was crunchy but seasoning was underwhelming. The sandwiches my friends got looked great. Employees were polite. Space was small but lines moved rapidly.

    Wow. They have a big lunch business!
    Michael G.

    The Party Melt sandwich is one of the best sandwiches ever. So much going on. Staff tonight was excellent, all around. I'm not wild about the lack of tables, but we did have a nice seat at the bar. When Joya's is crowded it's hard to move around. Bathroom is clean, well decorated, and good music. Thanks for all three.

    Saw this place on Triple D, so had to give it a try. Came in on a Thursday at noon. Heard the place is small and often has a line out the door. Biggest problem was finding parking. Drove through several lots with others prowling as well. Ended up finding street parking right in front of of the joint. Line was not out the door, which was delightful since it was only 4 degrees out, but my butt was just inside right up against the door. By the time I got to place my order, a spot opened at the counter to enjoy the meal. This place is as much of a coffee house as it is a restaurant. I saw 4 taps and was hoping for an IPA, but they were for coffee and teas. Got a Diet Coke instead. Had the Smashburger and the fried rice to take out. The burger was one of the most awesome burgers I have ever had. I don't know what they put in it, but it was just downright delicious. The fried rice was for my daughter's lunch tomorrow, but I took a few bites of it just for quality control sake, and it was very good as well. Unlike any fried rice you have ever had.

    I cannot say enough good about this restaurant. I stopped here for coffee a few days ago and I have to say, its my favorite place to get a cup of coffee. It is just so smooth and creamy. Delicious. I always sit at the counter facing the coffee machine ,even of there are open tables (which isnt often as there are only 2-3 actual tables). The place is small but it is charming. The baristas always are fun to interact with. This time they tryied to teach me how to make coffee art. Lol Honestly everything I have ordered here is excellent.

    FINALLY made it to Joya's and WOW! The flavor of everything was just incredible. The burger was excellent. Spicy but not too much. The friend rice might be my new favorite thing. So.Much.Flavor! Huge portion and psyched for leftovers. They were quite busy but moved through orders pretty quickly. We got lucky and snagged a seat at the counter. Very small space but as designed. Just set your expectations properly ahead of time. Whether you're able to sit down or end up having to take it to go, it's so worth it.

    Kati Roll (crispy paratha stuffed with lamb, pickled onions, and eggs)
    Edward S.

    Joyas plays upon the best aspects of cuisine from Bangladesh. You might enjoy a glazed chicken sandwich, wraps, fried rice, or noodles. Whatever you order the Bengali flavors and spices shine through loud and clear. Kati Roll: A large golden crispy paratha forms the wrap. An egg is the inner layer and ground lamb is the filling. Spices, pickled onions, and cilantro add texture and flavors such as salty, sour, and sweet. If you order this Danny's Way, they add chopped up Thai chilies for some sweat-inducing heat. Nitro Chai: After the initial smooth, sweet, and creamy notes, you taste the tea at the end of your sip. Think of this as a mellow contrast to the storm of flavors of the kati roll. Ordering: There's a little line outside the door that takes about 10 minutes to get to the register. They're thoughtful enough to provide little samples of Thai tea while you wait. After placing your order, you take your Uno card to your seat and wait about 15 minutes.

This visit, I met up with a friend who lives in Old Worthington, and naturally this was our choice. There are lots of good food options around, but Worthington Tavern has a great patio, good service, delicious food, and is a solid choice. I made a reservation via OpenTable. Definitely recommended during lunch and dinner rushed. My friend got caught up with a work emergency and was running late, but there was no issue with me hanging out until she arrived. We hadn't caught up in a year or so, so it was great to sit outside on the patio and enjoy lunch and catch up. I had the Mezzaluna Ravioli with seasonal mushrooms, shallot, thyme, brie cream sauce, and fresh grated Parmesan. Delicious! Recommend this completely and might be my favorite dish I have had here. My friend had the Baby Iceberg Wedge and added grilled salmon. Kudos to our server, Emily. Service is always good here but she was exceptional and added to the visit. 5 stars this visit! Food, service, and atmosphere were on point!

There are three different areas to sit: the back patio, inside, or the front patio. All three areas are beautiful, and the overall atmosphere was such a chill vibe. Our waitress was a little slow, and it was sometimes difficult to get water refills, but it seemed like she was one of the only servers working, so I completely understood. My friend and I split everything we ordered. We started with the smoked chicken wings with blue cheese and celery. The wings were delicious, although the celery came in very small, thin pieces. I would have preferred actual celery sticks. We also ordered the Honey Brussels Sprouts, which were my favorite dish of the night. They were so good and definitely something I would order again. For pizza, we got the Caprese Pizza with homemade pizza sauce, fresh-sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and balsamic glaze. It was absolutely delicious and tasted very fresh. We made our reservation for 7:30 so we could stay and listen to the live acoustic guitar player at 9:30. That ended up being a little late for us, so we moved inside to watch him perform. It was a great way to end the night. Overall, I really enjoyed my first experience at Worthington Tavern. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed, and it would be a great place to come with a group of friends. I will definitely be back!

    I stopped by here a couple nights ago with one of my coworkers while on an out-of-town work trip…read more Despite being a Monday, the place was actually pretty busy. Regardless, we were seated right away. We were given a spot at a high top inside but adjacent to the open windows for some fresh evening air and a nice cooling breeze. Unfortunately, service throughout the night was a little spotty. The first round of drinks took a while to come out, the app went missing, our server (who seemed slightly less than enthused all night) took the liberty of snagging an extra one for us, and then our entrees came out right at the same time. I started with the sunrise mojito. Being a bit of a rum snob, I am particularly picky when it comes to rum-based drinks and this one did not disappoint. Probably one of the best takes on a mojito I've had in quite a while. I eventually followed that up with the peach bourbon smash, which was also tasty but pretty heavy on the peach and less on the bourbon. To get started on food, we ordered the street corn nachos. Now, I do love street corn, but something about corn on top of nachos on paper doesn't exactly sound like my personal first choice. However, since my coworker was putting the food on his company card, he went that route. Man, what a mistake I made in my assumption. Absolutely amazing. Gooey cheese, excellent flavors, and not too much to fill you up. My coworker got the shrimp capellini, which looked excellent and he agreed it was solid. I opted for the crispy chicken sandwich (a gochujang aioli? Come on). The sandwich was delicious. The chicken was indeed crispy but also quite juicy. The fries were also delicious being slightly soft, slightly crisp, and not too salty. All in all, a couple service hiccups aside, this was a really fantastic place. I definitely will be sure to make my way back here if I find myself on another work trip for sure!

The bartender was a bit slow and lacked a lot of people skills. Never asked how things were before, during or after eating. But that's the only reason this place got 4 stars. Dinner was delicious. Ordered the Miso Salmon. The fish was okay, nothing special and surprisingly small (I'm thinking 4oz), but the dish was delicious. Never had carrot hummus before, but it really worked on this plate. EVERYTHING on the plate worked together very well! Could have put shit on a shingle over that plate and it would have been delicious. After waiting a bit for flash to drop the check, I realized it was in a bar glass in front of me. Nice to see my Mich Ultra was only $3!

I ordered a grilled chilled cheese to be safe because I suspected the quality of other items would be questionable.

The bacon was gross, tastes dry and just low quality, like microwave kind? I tried my son's kid waffle which was surprisingly decent. Hash-browns were okay just unseasoned. Overall would not recommend if you're looking for quality ingredients but if you're looking for a greasy spoon you're in business. The staff was nice, probably the only positive for me.
