Mazah Mediterranean Eatery in Grandview was one of our regular carry-outs through the pandemic. Fantastic Lebanese food! Tonight, we finally ate at the restaurant for the first time and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Entrée for Two with lemony lentil soup; mixed dips with hummus, baba, cabbage salad, bean salad, pickled veg & falafel with tahini sauce; and lamb skewered on herbed rice. The service is top-notch. I might venture to say this is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the city - in the running with Lavash, but I think Mazah won my heart with its consistent food through the pandemic. read more

If you're looking for great food and nice atmosphere, I definitely recommend checking out Mazah! This was my first time trying this restaurant and I'm already excited to go back. We started out with the fries and they were perfectly crispy with amazing seasoning and sauce on the side. They had a special going on where you could get hummus and pita, a side salad, and chicken shawarma for $20. The pita and hummus were some of the best I had. I really enjoyed the side salad, and the chicken and rice had good unique flavor. The service was friendly, attentive, and the food came out within 10 min. read more

Great service, ambiance and food. The pita was made fresh and the lunch menu selection hit the spot.

I ordered the lamb kebab and it was delicious, however, a little on the pricey side. I placed the order over the phone and when I arrived I was greeted nicely and the order was ready to. read more

A fast, friendly and delicious eatery! The baba Ganoush is incredible, Smokey and fresh, friend had the chicken shawarma salad, I had the falafel and cabbage salad with house hot sauce added. Sophia, our server, was so genuine and kind! read more

Delicious! The food was very good. The hummus was some of the best I've had. The beef and chicken were well flavored and excellent. The falafel was the best I've had! Perfectly balanced! The 4 stars are for the price:portion ratio. For example, I paid $4 for a small plastic soufflé cup of feta. That is ridiculous. Overall the price was a slightly higher than it should be. But if that is not a factor then it's perfect! I will definitely be going back, just not as often as I probably want to! read more

Charming place and people. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. It was so good we ordered food to go. The in house made hot sauce paired perfectly with every dish. So fresh! So good! read more

I like Mediterranean food because it tastes good and it's also healthy. That's why I've tried Mazah a few times. It sounded like a place for some good meals to not feel guilty about. It's not the best Mediterranean and the prices are kind of high. The service is pretty good and the patio is nice in the right kind of weather. I like the lunch sampler because it's the best deal on the menu. For about $9 it comes with baba ghanouch and hummus, three bean and cabbage salad, falafel, pita, and rice. The baba ghanouch was creamy the last time. It had a little too much oil. Same with the hummus as it was a bit oily. As for the three bean and cabbage salad, it wasn't anything that special. The falafel was crispy and seasoned well. The rice was okay too. I like Mazah enough to return. It's pretty good healthy food. The prices are too high for most things but this is better than some places that are cheaper and there was better service this last visit. read more

Mazah Mediterranean Eatery - Lunch Sampler - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Oh Hi there Hello there - I would like to start this post by saying how beautiful the food is. It's SO COLORFUL. I feel a little ignorant saying that but I eat pretty much the same thing all the time that I forgot how beautiful the Mediterranean is. Bless them. I heard a lot about this place from co-workers and they raved how good the food was. One day i forgot my lunch and finally had a chance to check them out, I was congratulated by coworkers. lol They had plenty of good stuff to choose from on the menu and the prices were good!! $8 i think for my entreé and $3.25 for my small Turkish coffee. Which was a little over priced for me but hey i was trying a new place... I got the falafel platter with hummus. Which was enjoyable and made me happy :)) I must say though that the hype was real and i was a little disappointed, yet i didn't dare say that to my coworkers. I would have crushed hearts!! I've had better falafel in NYC and in Cleveland. As much as I hate the word I've got to use it, the falafel wasn't moist (that's the word i hate ) - more on the dryer side. The sauces definitely helped. They give you 2, a tzatziki and a special hot sauce they make. The hummus wasn't tasty, a bit bland. They don't shy on the pita, it was a big one! Their Turkish coffee was made with coriander, which was a bit different, took me by surprise and it tasted a little watered down to me. All in all it I'm not mad about it and i did enjoy it it just wasn't as flavorful as the colors of the plate looked. This might surprise you, BUT I want to give this place another go and maybe try something different! Next time i forget my lunch, look for a part 2 yet to come :) read more

We had a take out experience with Mazah but the food was filling and delicious. There are a TON of gluten free options! Falafel was good and so was the tahini. We got a mixed bag of different things. You can order a la carte to get a bunch of different things. I felt that the pricing was appropriate for the service! I really like the look of the restaurant and intend to go and eat there soon! read more

Came here to get a taste of the Middle East and unfortunately it was a complete miss. We were seated pretty quickly and drinks, starter and entree orders were taken with ease. Service was slow and not that attentive. Our wine and water glasses were empty midway through entrees and weren't refilled or asked if we wanted another glass of wine. We had to flag down someone (lady from behind the bar) who happened to ask how thing were, to get our desserts order. What was also surprising was where instead of asking what we wanted to order replied with let me get your waitress. We started with the $5 Falafel happy hour special, the order came with 4. These were fresh, tender, and hot. Perfectly fried. The pickled veggies on the side lacked in spice and fermentation. We then ordered the Beef Shawarma. What - A - LET - DOWN. The beef was tough, lacked any sort of marinade/spice/flavor. The rice tasted like Goya Boxed yellow rice, with no authentic spices. I really thought it was me, but my coworker who is from the Middle East---wholeheartedly agreed. The above two I have had in many other restaurants this place missed the mark. My coworker suggested we order dessert in hopes the place would redeem itself and I took her lead as I was open to trying new things and ordered the Kenafi to share- typically I get Baklava. It had potential for me when it was presented...it wasn't sweet nor orange flavor as described. It was more on the savory side to me. The shredded ketaifi were crisp and delicate and the best part. The cheese was smooth and creamy. My coworker said it was good, the only feedback would be for more of the pistachio flavor to come through. read more

Came here for restaurant week on a Thursday evening around ~7:00 pm. We were able to get a parking spot outside the restaurant. We were able to get a table for 4 right away. All the workers were very friendly and nice! For our restaurant week deal it was $20 for 3 courses. I got a lot of food for the price! I really enjoyed the falafel, hummus and fries. I wish that we got more garlic sauce. I was able to take my leftover home for another meal! Overall very enjoyable meal and atmosphere! read more

Mazah Mediterranean Eatery - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I haven't been back in a few years but eating it today reminded me why I love it so much. I got the lunch sampler which is perfect as it gives a bunch of variety but also is just enough to fill me up. I love a good falafel and Mazah has some of the best I have had, it is in no way dry and packs so much flavor. Both salads are so fresh and a lovely complement to all the other items. If you get any kind of sauce I highly recommend hot sauce. It has just a touch of heat but is so smokey and flavorful, I couldn't stop eating it. I am so glad they are open at lunch and that they are so close to work. I love this place and can't recommend it enough! read more

It's been several years since my first any only meal at Mazah do to a half/half experience, so it was high time I made a second go at this place. Besides, all the mouthwatering pics I see of their food, I can't abstain from all that protein that's offered (let the salivation begin)! We shared the Lamb Kebob Skewers entree. Two sides: hummus and the Greek salad. The lamb cubes were excellent! Very tender and juicy. Easy to cut and chew, with zero grizzly, fatty pieces to count. The hummus? OH MY GAWD, BECKY. I don't like lemon, so this small bowl topped with a healthy drizzle of olive oil was phenomenal! Soft pillows of creamy dreamy goodness! I would gladly patronize this establishment for their hummus ALONE. **the first Monday of every month is Mazah's Lebanese Night, where they cook up an entire special meal that's unique to the chefs. I'm told it amazing (I have yet to time my stop and partake), so I look forward to going to this monthly highlight!** read more

This place is amazing!!! The food is always spot on! Last time I was there the chef sent out spanokopita on the house and it was crunchy, flavorful, and delicious! Definitely a stand out restaurant in Grandview! read more

We got the Grilled Mazah Family Meal and the Tilapia Maqliya for the 4 of us, and it was so delicious. We could have stopped at the appetizers because it was so filling. The meats were all well seasoned, but the Chicken Kebob and Lamb Skewers were a bit dry. Our favorite meal was actually the tilapia. It was cooked perfectly. The falafel was the best we've ever had - not dry and crumbly like we're used to, but crispy and hearty! We ended with knafeh, a shredded phyllo dough with a cheesy filling and sweet syrup dessert. But watch out if you're allergic to nuts because it was topped with ground pistachio, as most Middle Eastern desserts are. Highly rec this place for homemade Lebanese food. read more

Wow! This may be my new favorite Mediterranean spot in Columbus. The presentation was beautiful, even in a to-go order. The portions were ample for the cost, and there were definitely some unique standout elements for me. I love the shape of the falafel. If you are a fan of falafel, you'll know that it can be hit or miss. Even from bite to bite. Often times, it's either too dry, or the inside is still doughy and undercooked. The falafel at Mazah is made in an interesting almost donut-like shape, which I feel lends itself to more consistency in how each morsel is cooked. Absolutely delicious! The pickled vegetables were excellent-- not too pickled that they were soft, but not so under-pickled that they were too crunchy. The stuffed grape leaves were uniquely flavorful-- I normally love my dolmathes with a TON of lemon- but these had so many extra spices in the inside mix that I almost didn't need the lemon. Well, I used less lol. Kebabs were top notch. I'll be more than happy to visit Mazah again-- looking forward to eating in the restaurant next time! read more

Food was delicious! The falafel was so crispy and savory and the sauce and potato salad were perfect compliments. Service was good -- the owner's daughter was working and made sure we felt welcomed. She told us all about how they make their food as well as the specialty desserts (baklava and kanafeh were great). Homey environment. read more

I've been here several times and it just gets better! The food is absolutely delicious! Very flavorful and I LOVE their homemade hot sauce. They just recently update inside, only thing I'm not a big fan of. It used to be very colorful and gave that mediterranean vibe, not it's just kinda boring. (Only downfall,, BRING BACK THE COLORS!!! ) :) I can look past that though because of the amazing food and wonderful service. 5 stars read more

I came around 7 on a Saturday with two others and we got seated right away. There were lots of open tables inside though every table outside was taken. It was such a nice day out! Anyway, service was pretty quick. I ordered the chicken shawarma a la carte, while my friend had the platter version. Mine was just chicken with rice and a vinegar-based cabbage salad type thing. I guess to cleanse your palate from all the flavors? My friend's version came with hummus, baba ganoush along with the chicken and rice. I think my portion was just right. I was pretty full. Her hummus and baba ganoush were nice and creamy. She liked it. The chicken was pretty well-seasoned! My other friend got beef shawarma. She got it with hummus and potato salad. She liked it, though she found the potato salad to be a bit bland. She couldn't finish and brought the rest home. I will say that the food is bang for your buck though. Lots of families were in here so it seems like a popular spot although a not super busy alternative here in Grandview. read more

Went here for restaurant week and had a great time! When we arrived there was plenty of parking next to the restaurant. It wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. We were able to order our food at the counter which was very efficient and easy. There was plenty of great food and it was a great value for the price. I really enjoyed the hummus and chicken in particular. I am also super happy to see this place so dietary friendly! Had a wonderful gluten free meal- I do wish that the vegetables didn't cost extra to substitute instead of the pita but that's ok! read more

Food is good and we had a really good server but I miss the old Mazah menu! Not only did the new owner raise all of the prices but she has made everything à la carte. The variety was what made every plate so good. Gone are the few delicious pickles on the side of your plate-you have to order a side of pickles for $4 and so on. This used to be one of our favorite neighbors casual meals but it has gotten too expensive. read more

Lots seem to have changed in the year since I've been back, which was last year's restaurant week. They've increased the price, which rightfully so! They give you so much food with your 3 course options! I took leftovers back. I got the tzatziki with pita, corn salad and the chicken skewers. Delicious the next day as well! My mom got the hummus, corn and bean salad, and the falafel. You also order at the bar now, instead of getting a full service like in the past. Don't know when they started doing that, but it's a change. Everything was delicious and came out timely, long live mazah's garlic sauce. That is all. read more

For $43 I got a pound of tabbouleh which is delicious and legit with tiny bulgur, onion and tomato, and plenty of parsley, in addition to two spinach pies which were so deliciously cheesy like spanakopita but not feta and not phyllo dough. This bill also included two delicious cooked to order lamb and veggie grilled skewers atop a bed of seasoned rice next to tahini and with sides of half sour pickles and two falafel. The falafel were with some sour cabbage and beets and nicely crispy and flavorful without the dryness that plagues so many falafel. I also got 8oz of tzatziki for $4 with veggie slices for $3. The tzatziki was chunky, cool, and delicious. It took about 30 min to get my food. Overall it was genuine Mediterranean! read more

Mazah Mediterranean Eatery - Falafel Platter with Baba Ghanoush & Tabouli Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Absolutely LOVE Mazah! Nothing compares. Everything is always fresh, seasoned to perfection and worth every penny. Great to order for delivery too! We are fans of the chicken shawarma sampler which includes Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Three Bean Salad, Cabbage Salad, Turmeric Rice, and Pita Bread. Also, if you have enough room, get the lentil soup too. If there are two people eating, get the dinner sampler and not two small samplers. You'll thank me ;) We eat here a ton, and that's because it's great quality, reasonable prices and it just feels like a family all the time. If you aren't eating here, you're missing out. Don't believe me...try it for yourself. read more

I have been coming here since it was a small catering business with a few tables and chairs (a few doors down from the restaurant). They continue to have the best baba ghanoush and falafel I have had (not just in Columbus but in Detroit, New York and DC). Actually, everything is good. On a cold night, I heartedly endorse their Turkish red lintel soup. But, I suggest coming the first Monday of the month for Lebanese Night where you can get Kibbeh Nayeh. I have been meaning to try the Sfeha (meat pie) but always select the Kibbeh because it is so special. Too bad I rarely have room for their homemade baklava! read more

When your residency bestie who is of Lebanese descent tells you that this is the best Lebanese place in Cbus...you listen. Obviously this did not disappoint. So during my Ohio tour, I went out with The Golden Boy and his entire clan...or family. We ended up getting plenty of starters. Their baba ghanoush was different from other's I've previously had. Just a hint of that eggplant smokiness that wasn't too overpowering. The shish tawook was tender and juicy. Loved the raw kibbeh though. Amazing flavor and texture. This is a place I'd highly recommend. read more

Great portions. We love the chicken kefta and hummus. Fav Mediterranean spot in Columbus

Went here on a Thursday night around 7. There isn't a lot of parking for this place, but we were able to get a spot very close! We were seated at a table for 4 right away. I enjoyed the quick service and friendly workers. It was restaurant week and the meal I got was $20. I really liked the falafel, hummus, and pita! It came with a bunch of food and I was able eat my leftovers for another meal! We also got a bottle of Merlot wine to split between the four of us which was very good too. Overall, fairly quick service and great aesthetic of the restaurant! read more

Amazing food cooked by owner and Mother of waitress. You can tell everything was prepared with love. The restaurant atmosphere was very nice. Their Greek Salad, Baba Ghanoush, Hummus and Cabbage Salad were outstanding. Everyone agreed the star was the Falafel. Like small donuts, the Falafel were the best I have ever eaten. I often find a Mediterranean place while traveling. This place was a wonderful surprise. Highly Recommend. read more

While any time is a great time for Mazah, it's a must-visit for us during Restaurant Week! For this round, there was a choice of dip, salad, and then spread (including the entree). For the dip, we opted for hummus, because we love the hummus here and I don't think we would be capable of placing an order without it! We went with the three bean salad, and then the Kefta Kebob & Beef Shawarma Mazah Style for the spread. In addition to the meat selection (or falafel, for a meatless version, but the falafel is also delicious so don't overlook that option even if you do eat meat!), the spread comes with rice, za'tar fries, pickles, fresh veggies, and garlic and hot sauces. It makes for a nice hearty meal! The current serving adjustments here are that the restaurant is not currently open for lunch - just dinner hours over 4:30-9 pm - and the dining room is closed, so you can either do curbside pick-up or delivery. We opted for curbside pick-up, and it worked perfectly. We were glad to see they were doing quite well on the night of our visit - a nice row of cars was there. The food was actually ready faster than the quoted time, which was nice, but did mean it had cooled off a little more than desired by the time it got to its destination. That will not, of course, deter us from future orders! Love this place! read more

My husband and I ordered takeout from Mazah for 614 Restaurant Week and it was pretty good! It's easy to order online with the app and they offer curbside pickup. No indoor seating at the moment. The $20 pre-fixe dinner was huge! I ate half of mine and was stuffed. I started with hummus and pita, which was pretty standard. I tried the cabbage salad, which was basically a super light coleslaw with corn. And also the chicken shawarma which came with fries, some fun pickles, cucumber and tomato salad and two kinds of sauce! The shawarma was kinda dry but has good flavor. I was surprised it was such a vibrant yellow color. They must put a lot of turmeric in there. The winners here are the zatar fries and the garlic sauce. Would eat those again any day! Overall I would give this place a shot if you're in the mood for a feast. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Had the fatayer platter and it was very good. You get a lot of food for the price. The fatayer platter came with two pieces of fatayer placed on rice, and it comes with two sides and pita so I got bean salad and baba ghanoush. The fatayer was good but it was my first time having it so I can't compare. The bean salad was also good, and not just beans. They also gave me a ton of it so it was hard to finish. The baba ghanoush was very good! Food came out in a reasonable amount of time and service was good for the most part. Would stop here again if I'm back in the area. read more

Heck yes to mazah. I seriously love this place for Mediterranean food so much. A very traditional place with such an array of delightful food. They also have specials to choose from if you are looking for a more wallet friendly option. You won't have to worry too much about your wallet though because this place gives you massive portions. They have a great family option which allows you to order a unique variety to feed the whole table. And don't even get me started with their pita bread. My goodness, their pita warmed up and dipped into their hummus. WOW, wow wow. If you aren't a huge soft on soft texture person, they also have pita chips you can get to dip into all your hummus. They also do curbside pickup so you won't have to worry about getting out of your cozy car, very quick and great service! read more

Very good tabbouleh, hummus and baba. The staff is great! Food is very fresh. The tabbouleh had a bit more bulgar in it than I typically like, but the flavor was fantastic. Got the falafal and the chicken schwarma to go - OMG! the fragrances driving home were absolutely wonderful! Falalfel was great, just not my Holy Grail Falafel. Also tried the mujadara as a side substitute. I think there was a $1.50 upcharge. It was good/ok. I've had better, I've had a lot worse. My friends love the schwarma! *note: some reviews are old - no fava dip, no buffet. Use your SBB card for a discount. Beautiful space! read more

If you have a craving for delicious Mediterranean food then Mazah is the place for you! The location is easy to find right on a corner on Grandview Avenue. Parking can be tricky; there is a small lot around the back and some street parking. Inside, the interior is on the small side. There is an outdoor patio for warmer weather. The decor is random with paintings of cats on one side and scenic vistas on the other side. There are some booths along the side and tables in the middle. Service is very friendly and fairly attentive; drink refills are offered frequently and food arrives fairly quickly. The food is... delicious! The menu is expansive; I would recommend the entree platters which offer a lot of food for a reasonable price (starting at $12). This time I opted for the chicken schwarma platter. It comes with two sides; there are some standard sides and some upgraded sides for $2 or $3 extra. I went for the potato salad (standard) and falafel ($2 extra). The chicken was exceptional. The marinade seasoning was excellent with a light almost curry-like flavor. The chicken (breast) was juicy. The falafel was a great choice too. Crispy outside and tasty inside. The potato salad was also exceptional. A lighter potato salad than the heavy American-style. This style is lighter with a light tanginess. The meal comes with some of the best pita I've ever had. Warm and crisp outside and amazingly light and fluffy inside. The lentil soup was flavorful though just a bit on the runny side. For dessert try the baklava or the date cookie for a light sweet ending. Overall, Mazah was an excellent meal and highly recommended! read more
