The food is outstanding. I never eat out, but with my power out for 3 days, I had no choice. The first couple places were not great, then I found this gem. My power is back in but I've picked up to go 3 times this week. It's that good. The service is consistently great too. They greet you with a warmth as if you walked into their living room. The place is clean and well designed. Grateful to have them in the neighborhood. read more

It's my GOTO for Mediterranean food after moving to Columbus from Chicago. This is the 3rd restaurant that I've frequented from the same owner, and the quality is top rated. Too often Columbus has 'chain restaurant' mentality which drives me nuts. This restaurant flys bucks the local trend and delivers with major value. In fact, I'm getting in my car and driving there now as writing this is making me hungry. read more

Came here for a quick lunch based on their 5 star reviews. First time here - staff was extremely helpful and guided me through choices. I had the beef/lamb bowl with rice, taziki and other veggies. It was super fresh and filing without guilt. Would definitely come here again! read more

Plenty of parking, clean place with plenty of seatings-food was fresh and flavorful. What can I want more? The rice was slightly salty (in a positive way) and fluffy, metas were tender (I got half chicken and beef/lamb gyro) and all the veggies were fresh. I got tzatziki sauce on the side in a small cup but I wanted to lick it, it was so good! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I would absolutely go back again! read more

Very delicious option for Mediterranean food. Came across Sumac when we went to Mardi Gras for the last Yelp event. The portions were huge and everything was flavorful. Inside was clean and modern.

You have to try this place! I took my family in based off of reviews alone. It's in a little strip mall- don't let that turn you off. Everything inside if FRESH. We had falafel, chicken shawarma, and gyro. The pitas and all of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. We will absolutely be back. I wish we had taken pictures. The portions are great and prices are good. The guys working were very helpful. Don't sleep on this place, you'll thank me later! read more

Came here to catch up with a friend. Was greeted with a nice smile upon entering. We expressed it was our first time here at Sumac. The Mediterranean build your own was very clean and empty upon entering. My friend opted for a half hummus half rice base with chicken shawarma and other toppings. He let me try his and it was very good with the spicy sauce he had on top of his tzatziki. The chicken shawarma and the beef lamb gyro meat was so tender and well seasoned. The vegetables and toppings were all so fresh and bright in color. I got some crispy and well seasoned fries for my base and they are such good fries just on their own and cooked to order. Topped With cucumbers, tomatoes, banana peppers, pickled cabbage and pickled onions with a tzatziki sauce, spicy feta and regular feta sprinkled on top. An Absolute Flavor Explosion. Plenty of patrons came and went while we was dining in. There was a couple that yelled "Best gyros in town!" on their way out the door from dining in as well. I'll have to come try those too! For price and portion I think this Mediterranean cuisine is completely worth the try and is added to my rotation in restaurants. Can't wait to come back. read more

Delicious food. Great portions. Everything was fresh. Service was great and very friendly.

Great food at reasonable prices. Friendly service with lots of options to flavor your meal to your preference. Welcoming atmosphere and very comfortable space. This pic is from a takeout order (hummus and pita) and is my favorite for dine in or takeout. Season it, add meat, add veggies, add sauces (it's a different meal every single time!) read more

Sumac Mediterranean Grill - Hummus with chicken shawarma and lots of veggies - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

All I knew was that they had chicken shawarma on the menu. It's in walking distance, so I had to go. It's kind of "build your own" (bowl, pita, salad). I chose the bowl, because I wanted the rice. Then I loaded with ALL the veggies, and hummus, and garlicky sauce, and tahini, and hot sauce. It hit all the marks for me. They're fast, friendly, and it's a small joint with a handful of tables. They're just off Hard and Smoky Row and totally worth the visit! read more

Sumac Mediterranean Grill - FULLY LOADED. Rice. Chicken Shwarma. All the veggies. Hummus. Tzatziki. Garlic sauce. Hot sauce. So much flavor. So good. - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Your suppose to get tired of eating a certain cuisine over a long period of time. If that is the case than why do I never get tired of eating Greek food? I'm not Greek! Searching YELP for a restaurant serving my favorite Greek entree "A Greek Salad", I came across SUMAC. Sumac offers a "Build your own" salad $12.95, featuring either rice, pita bread, green salad, hummus or fries as a base. I considered a "Build your own salad" than quickly changed my mind to a "GREEK SALAD" $9.85. The toppings were fresh and oh, how I loves those olives and fetta cheese. I ordered some pistachio baklava $2.95 and a coke classic. Some things, I just don't tire of but I have to say, I have had better pistachio baklava. There is no waitering option here. Order at the counter and pick up at the counter. The counter people are friendly and patient with customers but they speak loudly (yell) at each other. read more

Stopped in for a quick late bite just before closing. I was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of fresh veggies and flavorful toppings. I ordered the falafel bowl and everything was fresh and tasty. Couldn't resist some pistachio baklava to go with it - perfect and not too sweet. I'll be back! read more

Friendly and efficient service and a delicious entree! What more could you ask for? I ordered the "Build Your Own" Bowl with hummus base and beef & lamb meat. The serving was generous; I took home leftovers for lunch the next day. They offered a nice selection of toppings (all of which looked fresh and appetizing) and sauces. Everything tasted good and my friend and I both enjoyed our meals. Bonus: I got a warm pita on the side which I wasn't expecting - maybe because I ordered my bowl on a hummus base? Anyway, will definitely recommend it and go back. read more

Sumac Mediterranean Grill - Build Your Own Bowl with Beef & Lamb Gyro meat - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Sumac is a delicious twist on the build-your-own concept! I ordered the gyro bowl on rice with sumac onions, cucumber, pickles, olives, and all of the sauces--even tho the grill was filled with chicken and it smelled so good. I just had my heart set on gyro. It was yummy, and generous, and we'll be back. I even texted a friend who lives nearby to make sure she knew she had to come through. It was quiet and had strong neighborhood vibes as people came in and knew the folks working. We're going to be back. read more

Sumac Mediterranean Grill - Beef and Lamb Gyro bowls on rice, hummus appetizer with extra pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Sooo good. Run don't walk if you are in the mood for some Mediterranen Grill style food. It's a build your own bowl (rice, salad, hummu, pita, fries) kind of place. While I thought the price was a bit high at 12.95 base, the portion size was good and the 5 stars is definitely for the flavor. Fresh ingredients, bright flavors. Excellent meal. read more

I was unsure about this type of food but I wanted to expand my palette. I explained my allergies to 'Mo. he was very patient and encouraging pointing out this and that and telling me what was in each item. I got a rice bowl with chicken, cucumber, tomato and feta cheese with tzatziki sauce. It was outstanding!! The perfect crunch from the veggies and seasoning on the chicken. They made a fan out of me. You should go too! read more

Sumac Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Just so good everytime. Quality is first...falafel made to order and the kibbeh is perfect. But the bowls are phenomenal and value is above anything else in Columbus. read more

We must protect and patronize Sumac!! SO GOOD! Let's see how many good things I can name about this place... Always fresh ingredients, amazing portions AND prices, I always am full with leftovers (leftovers that are even still delicious cold), stomach is full but not feeling like I need an immediate nap, the staff is always nice, and a clean environment! Absolutely love this place, I go often and never had a bad meal. Especially since we lost Rodos in Linworth last year. read more

Fantastic quality all around. I got a hummus bowl with chicken Schwarma and just about all of the toppings. The hummus was so smoothly creamy and whipped making for a beautiful base, and the chicken was smoky and more deeply flavored with paprika and spices than I would have expected. Pita also comes with the bowl for excellent dipping. While the food was great, the friendliness of the staff and efficiency of the operation is really what earned this five stars for me. Far outdoes Pitabilities! read more

Food, cleanliness, promptness and incredibly friendly service. Came for lunch and had a Chicken Shwarma pita, fries and a drink. 10/10 and tgey honored my Columbus Foodies card for 10% off. Go! read more

I am so happy we came across Sumac. The food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is super friendly. It is build-your-own bowl style. I got the salad with Gyro meat 10/10. They have so many Mediterranean style toppings to choose from, so I added everything. I couldn't be more pleased. Also got a side of rice to try. I will likely do a rice bowl next time to give that a try. read more

Authentic Mediterranean food with great friendly service. Highly recommend. ...................... .............

Great place. It is a Mediterranean Chipotle. Good service too. Good bowls and gyros.

The gentlemen who own/work here are stupendous. They are personable and funny, make me feel like I'm a special guest. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and it fills up quickly. I love the lighting in the ceiling. The falafel is the best I've tried since studying abroad in France. Gyro meat is juicy. Rice is perfectly made. Great vegetables. read more

Very fresh and authentic middle eastern food. Falafel is one of the best I have ever had. Strongly recommended.

Great Mediterranean bowls! The spicy feta and Baba ghanoush were both highlights, and the portions are generous. Would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner! read more

This is a new place and we loved our first visit. Delicious hummus and falafel! Try the chicken shawarma and rice too.

Fantastic food, and the prices are quite reasonable. $9.50 for a pita loaded with juicy, tender chicken Shawarma, and choose-your-own toppings. The spicy feta, pickled onions and cabbages were to-die-for. Will definitely be returning. Restaurant is new and clean, and the guy behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. read more
