    french toast
    Raishon B.

    I had the french toast today and it was absolutely wonderful. Now I have to come back. 1 to get more french toast and 2, try something else on the menu. I have a feeling everything is wonderful.

    French Toast Avocado Toast

    Well seasoned and prepared. The owner and head chef who I've met so far are amazing, kind people. Will be back. Posting a review video to youtube once editing is complete next Friday. The environment was quiet and on a beautiful day they have an outdoor seating area. Beat French toast I've ever had and the avocado toast was delicious especially for first time try!

    Ziba's Bistro at Logan Street Market offers a variety of internationally-themed dishes. Chef Ziba himself is charismatic and charming, and was endlessly helpful in recommending dishes based on my questions and preferences. After much deliberation, I settled on Langston's Caponata. This unique dish combines a variety of savory veggies (zucchini, eggplant, onions), cooked until tender, and served with a scoop of tomato sauce on rice. There are a variety of options for all dietary needs, including several vegetarian and vegan choices. I would have given 5 stars based on flavor, but felt my portion size was a little small for the price. Otherwise though, mmm... yes please.

    the best!! the ratatouille is so good Fresh ingredients and great service. so delicious

    Great food stand in Logan Street Market. I'm not sure how to describe the menu--perhaps pan-Mediterranean? Everything sounds yummy, but I always order the eggplant parm because it's delicious! Cooked fresh so it comes out piping hot and it's full of flavor. Chef Ziba is friendly and passionate about his cooking.

    I admit I didn't know what to make of Ziba's Bistro before finally trying the food. The menu had a lot of Italian and European influences, but it was hard to pin down. Then I got to learn a bit more about Ziba's: Chef Ziba was born in Burkina Faso and has studied the culinary arts in France and in the U.S. His menu reflects this. And then finally today I tried the food... Yeah, I get it now. And I'm pretty smitten. I got the Lamb Ouagalais on the recommendation of Melanie, who was working the register. This dish included lamb served in red sauce with herbs de provence over basmati rice. I believe she said it has an African background. This entree was new to me yet still full of comfort, like if it was a blanket I would curl up with it. It bridged the gap. The red sauce maybe was tomato based. It was savory, and the rice was the perfect complement. It helped soak up the delicious sauce. I also got the Brussels sprouts. These were simple, served with pepper and delicious. I got to chat with Chef Ziba for a few moments as well, and he radiated positivity. He and his food left me with a big smile on my face.

    Soggy, heated up brussel sprouts

    My first visit to Logan's Street Market and I'm disappointed to have picked Ziba's as my meal. I blame it on being with the kids and overwhelmed by the vendor choices. If you are in the mood for a burger or need an easy kids meal, you can find it here but otherwise consider taking your money elsewhere. We ordered 2 burger meals which comes with 2 patties and a fried egg. It says your side is frites but it's a fancy name for basic fries. The burger was decent but much like grilling it at home. I've never had egg on my burger and it was decent. I added cheese for $1 but wouldn't recommend it because with the egg you don't taste the cheese. A kids cheeseburger is 1 patty, no egg and comes with fries. For the adult and kids meal the price is fair. My husband got a seafood platter with pasta instead of rice. It was not very exciting and reminded me of frozen items. The worst of the meal was our brussel sprouts. TERRIBLE. I couldn't eat them because they were a soggy mess. My husband said he saw them being heated up in the microwave rather than prepped fresh. That was disappointing. Our food took a bit to prep but they gave us a pager to take to our table. That's nice especially if you're there with the kids because people are coming and going through the aisles to order and pick up food.

    Caponata and black eyed peas
    Kathy V.

    I stopped in to Logan Street Market in it's first week open for dinner. About half the food booths weren't open, so I was a bit limited in options. I am also in the midst of a rather strict fitness and nutrition program, so my options were even more limited. So I opted for a bunch of veggie options from Ziba's. For $10 you can get a veggie platter made up of the sides or vegetarian mains. I got the brussels sprouts, black eyed peas, and the caponata. I thought that the sprouts would be my favorite, but they ended up being my least liked item. I just wish they were crispier, for a roasted veggie option. The serving size was large, but I would take a smaller serving that wasn't so bland. The other two items were really good. The black eyed peas were exactly as I expected them to be. But the caponata was AWESOME. I didn't expect to like it so much, but I have been thinking fondly of it since eating it a week or so ago! It should definitely make it on to your "to-try" list. Food took a bit to come out, but that was forewarned, and when it came it was delicious. The staff is friendly and they helped me make my order choice in a way that got me what I wanted and saved me money. I would gladly return for another meal.

    Good food good service! I got the jerk shrimp ($11) to go. It came with rice and brussel sprouts. It smelt and tasted delicious! She sauce was full of flavor and the spice was not too much. I also got a yummy chocolate chip cookie for dessert. I would definitely go back and try more.

    Definitely enjoyed my meal and I can't wait to go back! Located inside Logan Street Market, this was a hopping location that stayed busy and had a long line. The line went quick and the food came out in 15 minutes. The menu has a variety of different options and they even have a kid friendly options which is great for kiddos. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan meal and the hamburger. The eggplant Parmesan was oh so good and the burger had a good flavor. The burger get came with an egg on two patties and fries. They offer beverages for an additional cost. It's in a great location and I can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu.

The whole step up area was just crowed. I love the giant mural they have on the wall with details, low lights, & just nicely displayed table setting. I ordered beef carpaccio and was very excited due to seeing how popular this dish is online and it was pretty tasty, kinda like a salad. For my entree I ordered braised short rib and it was like a roast style and very tender, paired with well seasoned collared greens, cheesy grits, and zucchini! Very filling, was stuffed!!

I ordered the shrimp and grits, and without exaggeration, they were the best I've ever had. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the balance of textures throughout the dish was incredible. Every bite had the perfect amount of crunch, flavor, and toppings. Nothing felt overwhelming or out of place. It was one of those meals where you find yourself slowing down just to enjoy every bite. Even the water deserves a mention. It was clean, crisp, and refreshing. If it came straight from the tap, I would have never known. It's a small detail, but it speaks to the overall dining experience when even something as simple as water stands out. The service was great, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. It's easy to see why this restaurant has built such a strong reputation. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 comes down to accessibility. As a person with a disability, parking can make or break a dining experience. Unfortunately, there was no handicap parking available, and there were no nearby parking spots open when I arrived. I ultimately had to park in a hotel lot about a block away, which cost $25 for just two hours. Not only was the cost frustrating, but the additional distance was challenging given my mobility needs. The food was phenomenal and absolutely worth trying, but I do hope accessibility becomes part of the conversation for future guests. For those without mobility concerns, this may not be an issue, but for disabled patrons, it's something important to consider before visiting.

Tucked away on Frankfort Avenue, it's a little off the beaten path, and parking can be an adventure. There's a small lot by the restaurant with overflow parking further down the hill. Somehow we managed to snag the only open space right outside the front door, which felt like winning a very specific Louisville lottery. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and the place was already buzzing. It was packed with locals, which is usually a good sign. While our table was being bussed, three different employees checked to make sure we were being helped. We let them know we were just a little early and waiting on our table, but it spoke volumes about the attentiveness of the staff. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a neighbourhood pizza spot: relaxed, lively, and unpretentious. The soundtrack quietly floating through the speakers was a crate-digger's delight, full of songs that have been sampled throughout hip-hop history. Hearing Lynn Collins' Think (About It) while waiting for dinner felt particularly apt following the recent passing of Rob Base. The song's iconic break became the foundation of It Takes Two, one of hip-hop's most recognisable records, and it was a nice reminder of how deeply great music connects generations. To start, we ordered the Olives & Togarashi, a bowl of Castelvetrano olives coated in a wonderfully aromatic blend of spices with notes of fennel, sesame and citrus. My son tried his first olive and was genuinely shocked by the flavour. He'll come around eventually. For the main event, we ordered three large pizzas: the DOP Margherita, the Funghi and the Original Sting. The DOP Margherita showcases imported buffalo mozzarella from Campania alongside basil and San Marzano tomatoes. The Funghi is loaded with an incredible blend of mushrooms, taleggio, pecorino cream and mozzarella. The Original Sting combines soppressata, fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato and spicy local honey in a sweet-and-savoury combination that completely works. Now, let's talk about the crust. It is perfect. Pillowy and light, yet substantial enough to give you that satisfying chew. The wood-fired oven creates just the right amount of charred bubbling around the edges. Our server offered house-made ranch and other dipping sauces for the crust, but we politely declined. This pizza doesn't need any enhancers. The balance of flavours across all three pies was exceptional. I've eaten pizza all over the world, and Pizza Lupo belongs in that conversation. It really is that good. We had a plan: sample all three pizzas and leave just enough room to split the tiramisu. Thankfully, we stuck to it. The tiramisu was fresh, light and beautifully balanced. Not overly sweet, nicely moist, with just enough espresso flavour coming through. It was the perfect finish to an outstanding meal. The service was fast without feeling rushed, friendly without feeling scripted, and genuine throughout the evening. We left full, not bloated, and happy as spring lambs, already talking about what we'd order next time. We'll defo be back. Cheers, Sam
