    I flew into CMH from Orlando and was looking for a Mediterranean place near the airport and on my way south of the city. Easy to order from menu and the manager was very helpful answering questions. Chipotle type setup for med food. Love the concept! I ordered the Mezze Platter (3 appetizers). My 3 choices were falafels, grape leaves and baba ganoush. You could see most of the food from the counter and everything looked very fresh. The presentation was A+ for a faster food type restaurant with pinches of herbs and spices applied, along with a drizzle over the grape leaves. The restaurant is very clean and orderly. The service was great and friendly. I will definitely be back the next time I go through Columbus.

    It's nice to find a Mediterranean place in the Blacklick area. There was ample parking available on the side of the building which also housed a Starbucks, a T-Mobile, and a nail spa. My husband ordered a bowl with fries as the base and spicy Greek meat protein. He said it was flavorful and he finished his whole meal. I had the Greek fries and they were delicious and plentiful.

    Mediterranean version of Chipotle -- count me in! A little bit outside the city limits but if you find yourself in the Blacklick/Reynoldsburg area, give it a try. I got a bowl with rice as the base, gyro meat for protein, and a variety of toppings. Finished off with spicy feta and medium house sauce, with tzatziki on the side to spread at my leisure. Although the proteins are kept in a heated tin, they do throw your portion on the grill briefly to heat it up even more before adding it to your entree which was a nice touch. The bowl was pretty good but does have some very intense flavors, led by the cinnamon rice. Next time, I would leave out the banana peppers as the acidity from these didn't mesh well with the rest of the ingredients. The staff was very friendly and the inside was clean and well maintained. 4 stars in my book!

    I've been going here for years! I've seen the changes throughout the years. I used to go more often when I worked right by it. But I'm still a regular. Either I pick it up or my husband does. It's like a Mediterranean style Chipotle. You choose your base, protein, & toppings. Salad, fries, rice, or pita bread. Chicken, lamb, falafel, or shawarma chicken. The main dessert they sell is baklava. You can get pita on the side & they'll slice it for you which can be a good addition to your bowl. You can order fries on the side. I like their shawarma & medium dressing. The flavors of the food combinations are so good, which is why I always come back. Shawarma has curry spices in it. My friends from out of town crave this place & they wish they had one where they live. It's always clean. Service is decent. By the way, they have an app. You scan the bar code every time you go & your 13th bowl is free. Then it starts over. I used to have trouble with it in the past especially when it was time for the free bowl & it was hard to prove. I stopped using it.

    Nice small Mediterranean restaurant. It's like a Mediterranean Chipotle. The food is so delicious and fresh! My husband and I ordered Gyros ($8.00) and wow, sooooo good! Our son ordered fries and Greek Chicken ($9.00), it was good too. Parking is a little crazy, but it is worth going there! We felt the prices were good and the freshness and quality of the food were great! Definitely recommend this place!

    Located off of E. Broad Street, the traffic here can be pretty busy! There is a parking lot with plenty of parking. If you have not tried Sababa yet, you NEED to go. Think of it was a mediterranean Chipotle. You walk in and the menu is at the top so you can choose your base, meats, and toppings. I chose the shawarma chicken with the lentils and I believe he said a cinnamon rice. SOOO good! The chicken was perfectly seasoned. I'm glad I took his advice and tried both rices. I chose absolutely all the toppings possible and I got the medium house sauce. Let me tell you that you will be licking the sauce off every corner possible. Their house made sauce really brings all of the flavors together. I also got a small side of fries and it's a pretty good portion. The employees were extremely nice and helpful. They walked me through every step and was patient with me as I am in awe of all the options. Go try it now!

    Just got picked up from the airport and was starving so we decided to grab dinner here. This place was GREAT! Easy to pick your items and everything was delicious! I had a chicken shawarma bowl with humus and pita as the base. My family ordered similar dishes with varying toppings and everything tasted wonderful. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and everything went together so well. Highly recommend their spicy feta and falafel! The fries were also insanely good!

    This place is like chipotle style.  A good restaurant with good food. If this place was closer to me then I would have gone frequently. The place was clean and had friendly staffs. I ordered rice bowl with cinnamon rice with chicken Shawarma with all the topping. I ended up ordering hummus and baba ghanoush. The meat was cooked front me and all the other items were very fresh. I liked the baba ghanous better then the hummus. The hummus I felt like that to much Tahini sauce in it. The quality and quantity of the food is definitely worth visiting the place

I typically opt for the grilled lamb chops (generous portion) or the lamb kebab. You can also get wraps if the full dinner portion, usually with grilled vegetables and a rice pilaf or french fries choice, is too much. If you are a cold tea person, the Moroccan Mint Iced Tea is a favorite for sure and it is endless. Good wine and local beers selection. A number of the waiters have been there for years and really know the place, the patrons, and the vibe. Annie's Salad is great, just wish it was included as an option for the entrees as it used to be pre-COVID. Lovely ambiance and decorations.

I don't even remember waiting for the table, just sitting down and tearing into pita bread. The hummus has character, the tzatziki? Finally! Enough dill! Remember that real Mediterranean olives have pits - this is important for dental work! The shawarma and gyros graced our table, and we're a memory before too long. They are fine dining, so the price is a little higher on the entrées than I normally go for, but it's worth every penny no doubt. Delicious.

My wife and I love Middle Eastern food and I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. The Friday Special, Lamb Mencef was delicious and could easily feed a family of four, with several sides also. Basically it is large pieces of Lamb and lots of yellow rice, and a wonderful sauce, so you need to order (or make) side dishes too. We both are in our late 70's and no longer have large appetites, so this dish lasted through several meals. We both are from the Midwest and lamb is rarely on menus here in America, and the lamb on this dish is about as good as it gets. Very mild and not dried out. Thanks for the recommendation, Summer!

Probably just prejudging. But it's a very Lebanese place. Nary a French fry in sight. But a nice long menu of middle eastern street food for lunch. Seriously yummy wraps, some salads, a few other things, and baklava. I've been twice. First time, I got the spicy wrap. Excellent. Very tasty, multifaceted flavors; each bite something just a bit different from the last. Just a little heat, nothing like Thai or Szechuan. Your spouse should be able to handle it, but they'll make a surprised noise for the first couple of bites and their nose may sweat. My second trip's lunch was shawarma wrap. Same yumminess, different flavors; no heat. Both were five stars. Also got baklava, one for me, one for my wife because she'd be able to smell the honey and walnuts on my breath when I got home and be very cross if I didn't. We both thought it was very good, if not quite amazing. Second trip I came home with Chams' cream cheese baklava. It's different - a big hunk of, well, cream cheese instead of walnut filling, but still wonderful sticky gooey honey on top. I thought it was very good again, but it wasn't to my wife's taste - just too much cheese for her. Each to their own, right? They also have pistachio baklava, and each kind comes in either filo wrapping or birds-nest style. I love both. The store is clean. Parking on the street nearby isn't much of a challenge when they open at 11AM. The staff is VERY friendly and all speak with just enough accent to be charming yet perfectly understandable.
