The food is as delicious as it was in the previous incarnation! Flavors are authentic. Things that should be crispy, like felafel and fries, are crispy on the outside, soft inside. Not burnt. Not greasy. There are options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Portions are generous, especially the seasoned fries which you simply must try. Food is cooked on order and very fresh so be prepared to wait a few minutes for your food. While you wait visit the A&Y Global Market and pick up some ma'moul or Turkish delight to complete your meal. When weather is nice there is limited shaded outdoor seating or take away. When it is cold, call ahead to make sure they are open.

I'll be honest--I had never even heard of Columbia, Missouri until a few weeks ago. So to say I had…read moreexpectations would be a flat-out lie. I couldn't have told you a single thing about this part of the country. But after one lunch at Beet Box, I'll be talking about Columbia for a long time. The Lamb & Eggs is an absolute masterpiece. On paper, it doesn't even sound like it should work. Then it shows up looking like a beautiful mess--a mishmash of flavors, textures, herbs, vegetables, creamy elements, perfectly fried eggs, and incredibly seasoned lamb. It feels like chaos... until you take the first bite. Then it all makes perfect sense. Every ingredient has a purpose, and somehow it all comes together in one of the most memorable dishes I've had in a very long time. As incredible as that bowl was, the Za'atar Fries with Harissa Mayo somehow stole the show. Crispy. Battered. Perfectly seasoned. Every single fry had that satisfying crunch on the outside while staying fluffy inside, and the harissa mayo was the perfect finishing touch. These aren't fries you order because you're looking to round out the meal. They're fries you'll be thinking about long after you leave. I came into Columbia knowing absolutely nothing about it. I left wondering how a place this good isn't on every food lover's radar. Beet Box isn't just a great lunch spot--it's a Godsend. Six stars...out of five!

They took our food order at the same time, and when our food came 30 minutes later they brought our drinks too. I got up to ask for our drinks and it just so happened that our food was coming out. We we pretty much ignored during our entire experience. The food was good. My son ordered the Syrian plate, which had three kabobs, rice and pita. The kabobs were not very big. He filled up on rice, but that was not what he was really wanting. I had the gyro plate with salad. It was good and the portion was enough for me and I shared the rest with my hungry 16 year old. We bought some baklava for the road. It was pretty sweet and the portion was underwhelming for $4/piece. The restaurant is comfortable, nothing fancy. It's worth a try, I would stick to the sandwich menu for the best value and don't hold your breath for service. The stars for this review are for lack of service and value. The food was good.

Front door had a "under new ownership" sign, which may not have been a good sign. It took quite a while to get the wait staff to come get our drink and apps ordered. Then it took quite a while to actually get said drinks and even longer to get apps. Then they took quite a while to get our main dish food orders...and they were out of chicken? Ended up going lamb and it was just okay. Dessert was $4 for a single small piece of baklava. Overall it just wasn't a great experience outside of being there with friends. 1.5 stars for the service, 2 stars for price, and maybe 2 stars for the food. Would generally not recommend.

I just moved to this area from Elko, Nevada in October, so to be fair I'm unfamiliar with a lot of things...therefore I took to Yelp to see what was around! As soon as I saw, there was a Pita Pit, there were no more questions in my mind what I was going to have for lunch. I have not had Pita Pit in 14 years, and was helping and praying it would still be what I remembered it to be. As soon as I saw that they had falafel in a brown rice bowl I knew what I was getting. My only complaint is I was originally pretty sad that the falafel was all broken up and not in big round balls... but I digress. That bowl was fresh, filling and amazing! And I'm so glad they had tzatziki!! Next time I find myself and Jeff city for training. I know what I'm having for lunch!!

I had doubts when I saw that it was connected to a gas station but I was pleasantly surprised and happy that I didn't waste any money. 10/10 - this is a place that I would drive two hours just to eat.

We had one of the most enjoyable meals of our lives here! Service was friendly with a smile and many patient answers for our many questions. Turns out we love Turkish food. We had only had it once or twice before. LaBinnah Bistro is simply magnificent! We started with the Dolma appetizer. I have a soft spot for grape leaves, and these were outstanding! Definitely top three that I've ever had. My wife had the Istanbul shrimp and she loved them. Her boiled potatoes and asparagus were cooked exactly to her liking. I had the Saç Tava, which is Turkish stirfry beef with yellow peppers and tomatoes. I think there was some garlic in it. It was served with the best saffron rice I've ever tasted. We were completely spoiled with this Turkish home cooking. SO GOOD! We had a delicious and reasonably priced bottle of wine and the Godiva tall chocolate cake for dessert. It was moist and delicious but not overpoweringly sweet. Look at my photos of the interior of this place it's just charming and quaint. So lovely.

As for the food, my pizza arrived with a perfect golden crust and looked delicious. I ordered a 10" veggie pizza with beef added, and it was satisfying. While I thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, I did feel that the crust could benefit from a bit more seasoning. Aside from the olives, the flavor was somewhat understated. Overall, it was a good experience, and I look forward to coming back Side note: I don't know what's going on with the packaging.
