WOW. So I had a medical appointment up in Westerville & as usual, due to health issues, couldn't eat before it -- which means I would be hungry & cranky by the time it was over. Husband came with me, and we were trying to find a reasonably inexpensive restaurant with good food. A quick search turned up a lot of *expensive* restaurants in the Polaris area, and restaurants that we weren't into at that point, but then I saw Agape' listed right near the Ohio Health offices up there. So I did what any sane hungry person would do -- I asked the nurses & techs at Ohio Health who were involved in the procedure, "Hey, that Agape place nearby? Any good?" (seriously, medical people are going to know the good eateries nearby -- they get a ton of delivery because they're always busy & they aren't going to mess around with a crappy eating place for their lunch breaks). I got an immediate "OH HELL YEAH" and enthusiastic recommendations from not only the folks who were involved in my medical stuff, but also the desk staff, other nurses/techs, etc etc. That's an amazing sign -- a place that gets immediate "OH MY GOD YES" when you ask folks at random if it's any good. So, my medical procedure over, we went to Agape'. OH MY GOD, YES. OH HELL YEAH. First, it's a chain, but it's a LOCAL chain, founded & based here in Columbus OH with only a few locations around the city at the moment. They seem to have focused on taking over the old/defunct Chipotle locations (Chipotle's mostly gone belly-up here), and repurposing it for their Greek/Mediterannean concept. Let me be clear for the folks in the back: AGAPE' IS NOT OWNED BY CHIPOTLE & HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. They're Columbus-local, & MORE POWER TO THEM. Agape' works like Chipotle -- select your base (salad, fresh pita bread, bowl), select your protein, select your sauces/spreads, load up on the fillings, and DAMMIT GET THE GREEK FRIES, THEY'RE SO FREAKIN' AWESOME...:cough: sorry. So both Husband and I had pita gyros with various different fillings and then made the "mistake" of ordering 2 portions of Greek Fries, one for each of us. FYI, those portions are BIG. One order of Greek Fries is more than enough for two people, but who cares, we've got leftover Greek Fries in the fridge for a snack later... :cough: sorry. The food is that good. We had to wait a bit for fresh pita (but who cares? FRESH HOT PITA!!!), all the fillings & protein & THOSE FRIES were fresh, hot, tasty, filling & just go ahead and add any other complimentary adjectives here, because Agape' deserves it. They took the Chipotle concept, improved it, ran with it, and GOD, I hope they succeed & stay the course, because I have regular medical stuff up in Westerville, and I really need a good inexpensive place to eat after those appointments are done. (My only minimal gripe -- no Clintonville location. Yet. The Westerville location is about 20 minutes up the road for us; the next closest seems to be out in Gahanna. But don't rush to expand, Agape' -- expanding too fast, too soon can sink a business hard. Take your time & focus on that glorious Greek food. AND THOSE FRIES.) Oh, and the baklava was PERFECT, too. ;) read more

Came here to say for lunch while on a work trip, and will definitely come back! I got the pita with gyro, and a side of pita and hummus, and the portions were incredible! I left full, and the taste was amazing! read more

I've ordered from Agape Mediterranean a few times now through Uber Eats, and it's quickly become one of my go-tos when I want something that feels like a treat but is still a little healthy. We got the chicken pita and rice bowls and as always, the food hit the mark. The chicken is seasoned perfectly, and the bowls have that perfect balance of salty, creamy, and a touch of acidity that just works. Everything feels fresh, and the portions are generous. Prices are super reasonable too, which is always a bonus. Highly recommend if you're looking for something flavorful and satisfying! read more

Recently tried this Mediterranean spot! It's similar to a chipotle style build your own which I love! I ended up ordering a salad w gyro/ lamb and lots of veggies. Then topped it off with roasted red pepper sauce and taziki. The portion size was reasonable for the price which i appreciate (10.95). I was full from my meal yet felt light vs if i were to eat a chipotle bowl lol. I only rated a 4/5 because i ordered for take out and i also only tried one item. Looking forward to trying more ! read more

My boyfriend and I went to Agape after the gym on a nice lil Sunday. We went for lunch. Amazing location right in Polaris area. I do think they will do better with better advertising..but that is their choice. Clean location. Awesome staff. I got a bowl with white rice, gyro meat, chickpeas, black olives, feta, house sauce. I am probably forgetting some things. But it was to die for. I will say, I usually do not love this type of food, but I was pleasantly surprised. I also got a salted caramel cookie, HOLY YUM!! Keep up the good work, Agape!! You will do terrific things here in Columbus! I will be back for more. It is quite the unique taste. SO MUCH better than Brassica if those are the vibes you are into. read more

Agape is pretty good! A more inexpensive option to Brassica with generous helpings! As most Greek restaurants, this place has really yummy fries! I usually get the falafel bowl with a salad or lentil base, it's not the best falafel I get, but it's pretty good. The sauces make the bowl for sure! I alternate between the roasted red pepper & green shug. They also have a unique offering of juices and teas that change out seasonally so those are fun To try! The service is good, it's the fast casual style so the line moves quickly (which is good when you have a toddler with you) This dining space is not the most comfy but they've got low and high tops and high chairs if you need them! read more

I know this has been here for a few years at least but I only recently decided to stop in when I needed a meat-free quick bite. My first order was the falafel on the rice and lentils. Not only was the falafel probably one of the best ones I've ever hard, but something in that bowl was practically magical. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, the garlicy house sauce maybe? The sauce with the banana peppers? Something in the lentils? I don't know maybe it was the perfect harmony created by all the ingredients together but I was over the moon with that dinner. I've also tried the chicken shawarma and gyro which was just as delicious. Eating in was great because I love when casual dining places have a few flavors of iced teas, lemonades and fruity drinks. I got to mess around with flavors to make a really yummy iced tea. Service here is friendly, the cafe always seems impeccably clean. I find myself always craving a bowl here! read more

Agapé Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

A fantastic quick and fresh lunch spot! They are located in a new shopping plaza. Everything is very clean and new. I got the falafel bowl with basmati rice, baba, all the toppings, and house sauce. Falafel and rice were warm. Both were cooked perfectly, flavors were as expected. The baba had a delicious smoked flavor. All of the veggies were so fresh and crunchy. I could've filled my bowl completely full with the cucumbers. The spicy feta mezze lived up to the hype. Not to mention you get a ton for under $5! Only complaint would be it doesn't come with nearly enough pita. The portions were generous. Without a few bites of the spicy feta, I may have been able to finish my bowl...but I would've been stuffed! I look forward to coming back for quick to-go lunches. Ordering on the app is so easy! read more

We love agape and frequently get food from them when we're in a hurry or don't have time to cook. You can build your bowls exactly how you want them, and it's nice that you can choose a salad instead of rice if you're trying to be carb conscious. Everything they have is absolutely delicious, and catering is super quick and easy as well. Bright restaurants with lots of natural light. If you're looking for a healthy option for lunch and dinner, this is the place! read more

Yummy Mediterranean fast casual spot! I got the falafel pita with spicy feta spread. It was filled to the brim with all my fav toppings. I got Kalamata olives, cucumber mix, cabbage mix, banana peppers, chickpeas and finished with a spicy green sauce ( I can't remember the name) Service was quick and friendly. read more

Mediterranean is one of my favorite ethnic foods, so I was excited to try this grab and go version in the Polaris area. The restaurant is located in a new shopping complex, the inside was clean and there was a variety of seating options (both inside and outside). The menu is pretty self explanatory -- you pick your base (bowl, pita or salad), then go through the line picking your toppings. The flavors were good, however I was expecting more generous portion sizes compared to pictures I had seen (especially the protein). When I asked for an extra scoop of spicy feta, I was told that would be extra which was disappointing especially when paying $10 for the bowl. Overall, it was tasty but I don't think I would go out of my way to get it again. read more

My friend had Agape catered for my baby shower and it was so delicious! We had a base of beans and rice, salad, and for protein our choice of chicken, lamb, and falafel. Red cabbage, olives, and peppers for toppings were on point! My favorite had to have been the pita with humus and spicy feta. I don't even like feta cheese but it was so good! Definitely recommend if you are in the Westerville area or need to cater for a group! We all absolutely loved it! read more

Regrets: that my food disappeared way too fast and that I didn't take a photo. I met a friend for a quick lunch between meetings. I had a delightfully made chicken gyro and she enjoyed a generous salad. I've heard Agapé described as Mediterranean Chipotle. It's even better than I hoped and I can't wait to return. Please build a location in Powell! read more

Stopped by for lunch with my aunt today. I had heard a great deal about this place, so when we were looking for a quick and light meal for lunch, we decided to give it a try. It's set up in a build your meal style, where you choose from a pita, salad, or bowl. From there you add your Proteins, sauces, and toppings. Both of us had salads. Mine was half chicken schwarma, half falafel with tzaziki and a good mix of their Greek style toppings. It was very fresh, filling, and delicious. My only complaint would be with my falafel. I'm not sure what I did not like about it (as I am a huge fan of falafel), but something in the flavor I did not enjoy. I do recommend the chicken schwarma, and plan to come back to try the gyro as well. Over all the Place was very clean, the workers were very nice, and we had a great visit. If you're looking for a quick, healthy meal or an introduction into Greek style food, I recommend Agape! read more

Let's start this way- it's really good! It's quick and set up like Chipolte in that you go down a line and select what you want on your meal. I had the salad with chicken shawarma and lots of other things. It was a delicious lunch. We shared a Greek fries. They were garlicky and with lumps of feta. So good! They gave us a complementary balaclava and it was also really good. One issue: A couple things were a bit heavy on salt, the kalamata olives and the Greek fries. In spite of the salt, we loved this place and we will be back read more

Cannot get enough of this place. One of Columbus' best fast casual spots. The Greek fries are to die for. Love all of the options to make it your own and their online ordering platform is stellar as well. Word of advice: if you're ordering ahead of time for take out, order it when you're close to the restaurant since it usually only takes 3-5 minutes for them to throw together everything. Then prepare for a brutal drive home of sitting in delicious smells. read more

Best Greek "fast food" place. Food is fresh and lots of options to choose from. You can pick your base, protein, and toppings. Staff has always been nice. Prices are fare, not over priced. Portions are a little on the smaller side. They have an small outdoor space (patio) that you can sit at. If you light Greek food then I would highly recommend checking it out. read more

One of my local favorites. I always get the gyro bowl with lentil rice. Greek fries are great but unfortunately do not mix well with my diet

After having attended a Yelp event here previously, we knew this is exactly where we wanted to return when we found ourselves in the area. This time, we placed an online order before we left our previous destination, and we were quoted 12 minutes until it was ready. It ended up being even quicker than that, and we received notification of such as we were still driving over. There were two mobile order parking spots available directly in front of the restaurant (with plenty of additional parking available in the shopping center lot), and when we ran in for the food, it was neatly packaged and ready to go in the section waiting for Door Dash and other pick-ups, clearly labeled. The online ordering and pick up were a breeze. Food-wise, Agape offers an opportunity to build your own Mediterranean dish with a selection of bases (pita, salad, or bowl with either just rice or rice and lentils), a selection of proteins or veggies or falafel, and a lot of fresh toppings and sauces to add. We opted for a pita with chicken shawarma and the spicy feta plus toppings and a pita with gyro and tzatziki plus toppings, plus an order of fries and another of Greek fries, which adds the house dressing and feta to the fries. The portion size on both fries was quite generous, and we probably could have just split one order. We preferred the gyro over the shawarma, but the meal was quite enjoyed, and we will certainly be back again! read more

If you're ever in the area, PLEASE go try Agape! It is in a newly built center with plenty of parking. The restaurant is so clean and open. They have plenty of windows for natural lighting to come in. It is like a mediterranean Chipotle where you choose your options as you go down the line. The employee even broke it down for us and explained the choices. First, you choose your base (pita $7.95, salad $9.25, bowl $9.25). You then choose your rice, I got half rice and half lentils. We got two separate bowls, one with shawarma chicken and one with greek chicken. You then choose your spreads, toppings, and sauces. They have so many options you'll just want everything. I highly recommend getting the pickled onions and cucumbers :) None of the flavors were overpowering another as you get a little taste of each. If you don't like cinnamon, one of their rice options has cinnamon in it as an FYI! I need to come back to try their pitas and fries. read more

Agapé is a build-your-own Greek restaurant located in a very new-looking shopping center close to Polaris. It appears that they opened quite recently. I went at a very early dinner time (before 5pm) and the whole place was empty. Immediately upon entering, I was greeted and there was hand sanitizer for me to use. The restaurant staff were super friendly. Knowing it was my first time, the person who served me was extremely knowledgeable and offered helpful advice on what to get. I ended up getting half lentils+rice and half rice (mathematically, effectively 3/4 rice 1/4 lentils) with half chicken shawarma and half gyro because I wanted to try all the meats but didn't want to ask for a bit of everything! The flavors of both proteins were great and the toppings I got (cucumber+tomato, chickpeas, lettuce) tasted very fresh. The tahini and harissa sauces were both yummy as well and complemented the whole bowl perfectly. I also got an order of fries which came right off the fryer (as all fries should). Love that they're skin-on! Even though I went quite early, I am surprised they were completely empty. If you're ever visiting the Polaris/Westerville area, definitely give them a try! I know I'll be back. :) Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Price: 5/5 Overall: 4.5/5 read more

Excellent spot for a quick, filling, and refreshing meal! The inside is nice and the layout makes ordering easy. I built my own bowl with rice and lentils, Greek chicken, hummus, cabbage blend, tomato cucumber blend, and chickpeas topped with the house sauce. I also got a side of hummus and a small bag of pita chips. Super yummy! The house sauce is the most popular and I can see why - it went perfectly with the bowl contents. The chicken was well seasoned and tender. They have a few different house-made drinks. I can't remember the exact name of it, but I chose the hibiscus rose and it was delicious. Not too sweet and almost reminded me of cranberries. Fantastic place with friendly staff. Definitely recommend!! read more

Came in after only a week of being open. The service was top notch all the way. Very friendly and fast. This place is a Mediterranean Chipotle. You can pick wrap, salad or bowl, a number of different proteins, followed by a slew of vegetables. I tried to make a Greek salad with gyro meat. The lettuce/kale mix was very good (only time I can say I've ever enjoyed Kale). All the toppings were great, especially the spicy feta spread. The gyro meat was a bit bland, knocking the stars down from 5 to 4, but I am spoiled by Nikos in North Royalton. There was plenty to eat. I noticed at another table the patrons had a bag of toasted pita chips sprinkled with Zatar. When the manager came out to see how we liked everything, I made a suggestion that they use a suggestive sell at checkout for those chips, as I would have bought them had I been quick enough to connect the dots. He was appreciative of the feedback and tossed us a bag to try. They were delish, as was the baklava sample he handed us. Would not hesitate to return. Might try the chicken next time... read more

Agapé Mediterranean - Greek salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Agape is a build your own concept on Polaris. The building is bright and cheerful, and the staff are super friendly, starting your visit off pleasant! They offer the standard salad, bowl, wrap options that we are all very accustomed to, with a lovely lentil and rice variation! I think I also saw some chopped kale in the salad combo. I love lentils, so went with that. I loaded my bowl up with chicken shwarma, olives, extra tomato cucumber salad, lettuce, feta, and their spicy green sauce. The sauce has a nice bite to it, but not too much! Oh, and tatziki, always! I almost resisted, but somehow, ended up with some loaded Greek fries. There is no picture, because somehow, the very well fitted kid also came off In the car and there was a dentist in the salty, cheesy, creamy fries..... I really don't know what happened, but they were good. Agape also has some juice drinks with just a little turmeric that are nice abs refreshing, and they have the good ice, the pebble kind, too! read more

Let me start by saying two things: 1- this review is way over due 2- I love fresh tasting Mediterranean food Let's talk about the second item on my list. Agape Mediterranean is hands down one of the best tasting places I've been to in quite sometime. Mason and team make you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. The restaurant is bright and clean. Each team member is friendly and willing to give their input on protein, rice, and add on toppings and sauces, to in my case, the Greek Chicken Bowl I ordered. All toppimgs are fresh and they add a plentiful amount so you get the flavors throughout your bowl. Agape Mediterranean is a bit tucked away in a strip plaza in Polaris. I do not get out to Polaris too often but I'll now have a reason. This restaurant is on the top of my favorites list! read more
