    Came in on a Friday night with some friends and overall, was generally disappointed. Parking was easy enough right outside and it wasn't very busy. We'd soon find out why. 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.

    We enjoyed the food & the spaciousness of the place. We were the only ones in for awhile & our waiter wasn't as attentive as we would have liked... that's the only reason why we are giving it 4 stars altogether. But, besides that.. the food was really good & our drinks were good too!

    I've been here twice now, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in Como! The food is always seasoned to perfection, and the service is consistently great. The lady who took my order over the phone was very polite, and when I came to pick it up, her attitude really made my night!

    How did I not know this place was here?! Its delicious to say the least and they really created a nice environment for dining compared to the last place at this spot. The waitress was friendly. I got the beef shcwarma which was my first choice and one of her recommendations. Talk about big portions of food. You have a choice for salad or rice. Hummus comes with the meal as well as pita bread. Meat pies were different from what I know but tasty none the less. Omggg the dessert. The pistachio cake ughhhh, so moist and flavorful.

    I've been recommended this place for a while now and finally tonight my partner and I decided to stop in. The staff was friendly and the tables were clean. The business was easily spotted from business loop and had lots of parking. We ordered the beef shawarma sandwich (side of rice), the falafel sandwich (side of rice), stuffed cheese pie, the pistachio baklava and the walnut baklava. The food was DELICIOUS! We also ordered the Turkish Coffee and it wasn't for us personally. Food-5 star Cleanliness-5 star Staff Friendliness and helpfulness-5 star We will 100% be coming back

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    My first experience/impression the food was delicious, and flavorful. I placed an order to go twice and the packaging could be better for take out. With ordering, your order will be correct, the problem was there wasn't any labels or many napkins. Also there's no lamb & beef shawarma combination. Though disappointed, I would recommend chicken options if you're looking for somewhere to start.

    It is such a lovely time with the cats. They have 18 here now and they all are super friendly but…read moreobviously with their own personalities as well! There was an employee going around recording their weights so I'm sure these cats are taken care of very well, she seemed so happy to be doing her job and knew each cat by name. I'm a dog person, but the more time I spend here, the more I can see myself fostering a cat, and maybe one day adopting, who's knows? It's currently 5$ to get into the cat room and you have he option of buying things from the cafe here as well to bring in. I didn't give the complete 5 stars because the bakery isn't very good here, but I promise, just coming to the room is more than enough reason to stop by!

    We came to Columbia specifically to visit Papa's Cat Cafe, and we were not disappointed. We made a…read moreday of it and enjoyed many other stops to and from Columbia and in town. So fun! We are cat lovers, so this was a treat to sit and play with all these wonderful kitties, most of whom are up for adoption. It's a good thing I don't live in Columbia, because I wanted to take them all home. They're obviously very well taken care of- there was a young woman there walking around and constantly cleaning up. The litter boxes are behind a door, so there was no gross litterbox smell at all. You can also choose to not enter the cat room and enjoy your food & drink from the cafe area. Our food was just ok, but our drinks were great- especially the hot peach tea. I wouldn't come here just for the cafe experience- the cats are what make it interesting for me.
