I came in here for lunch. Brassica has such beautiful rustic looking decor from Edison bulbs, wooden tables and iron made chairs. It has large windows for you to people watch or comfy booths for you to sit in. The two ladies working there were very nice. It's kind of like a fancy, pick as you go on your plate, Mediterranean style The food was excellent. The quality of their meats, their veggies, sauces and sides were very delicious. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. I was nervous that I was running out of time for lunch, but this place was absolutely perfect to grab, and go or dine in quickly. Highly suggest if you like good quality Mediterranean food. read more

Delicious, healthy food if you are into Brassicas (cabbage family of vegetables). Chipotle style bowls with a Mediterranean twist. Similar to CAVA but a bit steeper in price. I got the brisket + $4 and the salad $11.99. Total with tax was approximately $17. The brisket was a bit chewy as if it was sitting there for a while. I would have preferred it to be more tender. The flavor was good. The best condiments were the marinated eggplant along with the carrot salad. There was plenty of seating with booths towards the back. Service was really nice, especially when I told them I was a first timer. A bit expensive if you ask me. I might be back before my trip is over. read more

Brassica - Brisket and salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Excellent food, excellent service. I would definitely return. The minty pink lemonade and chocolate chip cookie is a great treat!

This review is specifically for the Short North location because this is the only location that caters. Love the food so wanted to have Brassica for my son's OSU graduation on Mother's day last week for 20-25 ppl. Several days prior, we scheduled for delivery at 6:45pm on 5/10/26 and at 5:45pm they called and said they ran out of chicken. WHAT? How is food quantity not planned in advance? This has never happened to us with any other catering restaurants. Brassica Short North ruined the whole evening. It was so late to cater from elsewhere, we had to order pizza for our guests. We were so embarrassed and frustrated. They offered to send the veggies and pita and I told them I don't want it. We promptly got the refund and I'm wondering what they are going to do to make this right. DO BETTER BRASSICA! read more

Visited this location on a Friday afternoon. I wasn't sure of what to expect as a non-local. The line out the door was worth the wait! (likely due to lunch rush hour) The staff were all patient and friendly. It's a build-your-own assembly line style and you pay at the end. I chose the Pita Sandwich with Chicken and various vegetables. I asked for a side of beets and so glad I did. They're perfectly pickled. The Brassica fries are also very well seasoned and the "special sauce" on the side adds a complimentary touch to bring all the flavors together. Overall a great lunch vibe, but waiting outside did turn me off a little. read more

Brassica - Pita Sandwich with Chicken and Brassica Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Chipotle style Hummus. The food is wonderful, you can get roasted carrots, eggplant, fried onions, and other toppings. Staff are super friendly. If there's a line out the door, order online, it's about 10 mins, u can walk past the line and go to check out and your food will be ready after 10 minutes. The falafels are a bit hard, but have wonderful flavor. I went here twice in my visit. There is a decent amount of seating, including some outside. The minty lemonade is very minty. read more

Food is so fresh and delicious, they bake pitas & cookies right there and the fries are so good as well. We ordered the falafel bowl and chicken pita and both were really yummy. So many topping choices and you can get as many as you want. read more

Brassica - Falafel bowl and chicken Pita Sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Conveniently located on N High St in the Short North area of Columbus, this restaurant is a Mediterranean fast casual spot that serves up sandwiches or salads that you can customize to your liking. I am glad that (compared to other recent reviews) the glazed lamb bacon is back for this location only, so in a heartbeat, I opted to try that in a sandwich, customizing with the hummus, house sauce, and some vegetables. I also tried the Brassica fries and falafel, both of which were excellent. Normally fries cost quite a lot but this one was only $2.90 for a sizable portion, served up with their house sauce. They even made it fresh to order. Falafel is 4 pieces for $3.90 so standard pricing, and it was not too dry. Dip it with the house sauce - thank me later. The sandwich is a pita sandwich and is soft and warm. While at first glance the server puts few ingredients in, there are actually a lot of ingredients, perhaps the illusion. I really loved the glazed lamb bacon as it was slightly sweet but still carried forth the lamb taste. I was very stuffed after the sandwich, and getting the fries and falafel locked in enough food for the rest of the day. It tastes delicious yet healthy, so I can see why this is a great lunch spot and so highly rated. read more

Their food is great as always but the service could improv. my coworker and I went to Brassica on N.High St. today during our lunch break and were standing in line for over 40 minutes because they were filling online orders. they were really working hard but it was so unfair to all of us who went there in person to stand in line and wait so long. I am pretty sure management can come up with a better way to service the online and in-person customers. read more

What I especially like about Brassica is that it's a quick, very tasty meal and it's in a warm, welcoming environment. This location in Short North is very nice, located in a narrow space but still with warm red brick in the entry and the nice wood trays to carry your food. You know it's fast food but you feel like they care about the flavors and the ambiance. The servers were friendly and respectful--maybe a weird word to use but I really felt the two gentlemen working this this night were great -- making eye contact, explaining the foods, making sure you had what you needed. There were two of us for dinner on a Thursday night. Both got hummus bowls, one with chicken (very very tasty, great spices) and one with brisket (love!). Some cukes and radishes, along with house sauce (nice garlicky tang). We also ordered fries - made as you order them, so wonderfully fresh and hot. Served with a pita. Excellent! This is on High Street so parking is rough but there is a paid garage close by. read more

An excellent place to get a falafel sandwich. One of the best I had in the Midwest. I am picky about them, but they were spot on.

Based on all the reviews, I wanted to come here for lunch. I didn't realize there is a small chain of them in Ohio. When we walked in, the food set up reminds me of Chipotle. I ordered the falafel salad with hummus. I like to think that I had a healthy meal. I enjoyed the veggies that it came with. The only thing is I wished there was more sauce on the falafel. read more

Ordered Brassica for lunch as a pickup, and it hit the spot! The meal was delicious and super filling. The fluffy pita paired perfectly with the bowl, and the falafel had that ideal crunch and flavor. The whole bowl was bursting with taste. My only small complaint is that I wish there was a bit more protein, but overall, it was super satisfying. The food was ready when I arrived, and the cashier was super friendly! Even though I didn't dine in, the place looked cozy and inviting. Would definitely order again! read more

Brassica - Lentils & Rice Marinated Eggplant Chicken Falafel Pita Baba Pickled Red Cabbage Spicy Carrots - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place is definitely worth checking out! This is like a fancy Mediterranean chipotle (like Cava but elevated). You choose from a hunmus bowl, pita, or salad. There aren't many options for the toppings but the ones they do have are high quality. I wasn't sure if you could get more than one topping - they phrase that question like do you want carrots OR cauliflower and I didn't want to pay extra for some vegetables. They're also a little stingy with what they do put on your plate. Like counting the amount of cauliflower stingy. But, nevertheless, it was good and it wasn't expensive. I would recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

Brassica - Salad bowl + brisket - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My daughter and I did not like either of our meals. Brisket sandwich- super fatty, kept pulling fat out of my mouth. amount of meat was little. Chicken hummus plate was weak again little meat. Left hungry and we are petite people. So shocked at these other reviews as we like to eat Mediterranean. read more

We were looking for a semi-healthy dinner option before a night out, and Brassica fit the bill! This location is a bit tight inside, but they do have a patio out back. I didn't venture out, but heard good things. Brassica serves up the standard MYO salad/bowl/sandwich combo that is pretty much the only option any more. Theirs is great quality, and everything vibes well together, but, anymore, I have to be in the mood for this (the whole reason I'm going out is because I didn't have any creative energy left). That being said, I really do like their food - the chicken falls apart if you look at it, and their bowl base has LENTILS in it. I love lentils. And crispy onions. I got double. Also, they have pink lemonade. Anyway, fun addition to the area, and relatively affordable if you're looking for a bite to eat in the Short North. I'm still going to grumble about the create your own thing, but I do like it! read more

The wife-thing and I had stopped here for lunch once before several years ago and it was delicious! Many years later, passing through Columbus once again we were determined to return. The falafels are sooooooo good. Fill 'em up with some greens and pickled cabbage and cauliflower and jakapeño and tahini...superb. The sweetest employees and great food is all we ask for. Wish there were one of these in Baltimore. read more

Great food, organic and nutritious. Really cool vibes inside the restaurant and a good selection of beers too. Cashier was a bit oblivious, but it was pretty busy in there. Would recommend. read more

Great location! Very friendly service and freshly made ingredients. Despite being fast food, the ambience is very clean and classy with intimate seating and lighting. The walkways are a bit narrow, but there's more open seating toward the front if that's an issue for you. A lil sad they forgot to give me my fries... and then forgot to give me the dipping sauce after I went up to get the fries, but not their fault I was too anxious today to ask for it lol. I recommend! read more

TLDR: decent food, high prices, lackluster portions I used to love brassica and would come regularly 2018-2020. I thought the food tasted good enough and it was different enough that it earned my business. But when I returned on my last visit to Columbus I was very disappointed. I ordered online because I was in a hurry and needed something quick. I placed the order at 1:50pm and it said it would be ready at 2:10pm so I was a quoted a quick turn around. I arrived around 2:15pm and everything was ready except the fries but they said they would make them fresh which I didn't mind. I'll start with the bowl, I got lentils and rice and half greens. They definitely went heavy on the greens. Chicken was my choice of protein and they definitely skimped out. You can't see it in the picture and I could hardly find it when I was eating it. I got every topping possible to max my portion size and I will say the toppings were delicious outside of the eggplant. The eggplant was sloppy and mushy but still had pretty good flavor. The hummus, cucumber, and pickled beats stand out as winner and are must gets. I would recommend getting at least two sauces I got special sauce and tahini on the side and put both on top and it really enhanced the bowl. Overall 7/10. Now to the fries. I have to say I am extremely disappointed with the portion size. I appreciate that they tried to make them fresh for me but it was at least 30% less than what I was expecting. I also noticed they skimped on the special sauce. You can see in my picture the container is barely half full. This is a shame because it's a good sauce and lovely to dip the well seasoned fries in. The last thing to mention here is this place is very pricey for what it's worth. My total order was two bowls, 1 chicken for me and 1 brisket for my girlfriend, brassica fries, and a mint pink lemonade (also very good) but the total price was $40. To me that's outrageous considering how much they skimped on the good stuff. For reference I went to shawarma bite and priced my equivalent order and it came out to just over $25. Personally I'll be saving the $15 from now on. read more

Oh my... I wanted someplace new to eat for lunch. I took a chance on Yelp. I ended up choosing Brassica even though it was a few miles away. Service was great and immediate. The Brisket Salad was excellent! I just chose some food items that I thought I would like. For it to be my first time visiting, I will give it a 10/10. Will definitely be back! read more

Really tasty! Got the falafel sandwich. Lots of veg topping options and falafel was fresh and tasty! Really friendly staff too and great ambiance :) read more

I literally cannot stop eating this! It's so much flavor in every single bite! Brisket is finger licking good. I went with the special sauce and it was amazing too! I'd give 10 stars if I could. Chipotle has nothing on the quality of ingredients and fresh taste. read more

Brassica - Fries are a must add on!!! You'll thank me later! - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Brassica is the restaurant I wish was around when I was growing up and my parents were trying to get me to eat more vegetables. Bottomline: everything has so much flavor and the food is delicious (including all of the vegetables)! This location in Short North happens to be the original, and the employees are super helpful for first timers. The options include a salad or sandwich. The salad is essentially a bowl that starts with rice/lentils and greens. I don't even really like lentils, but I'll eat them here! Protein choices include chicken, falafel, brisket, bacon or veggies. You then go through the line and pick out your toppings. Highly recommend trying some of the sauces. Parking can be a pain given its location on High St, but it's worth it to try the food! read more

I was in town for work and wanted a healthy lunch. My first time here, food is fresh, flavorful, and tons of options. The staff was so kind to let me taste an item I wasn't familiar with. I would highly recommend this little gem! read more

I really liked this restaurant. It's no frills but really tasty. They explained it like a Lebanese Chipotle. You pick the type of meal you want (bowl, wrap) and then add your protein and toppings. It's really fresh. It's quick. And most importantly it's really tasty. In a city that doesn't really cater to vegetarians this place is ideal. And I can honestly say it's some of the best falafel I've tasted: crispy and yet not at all dry! If you're an exhausted OSU parent, after a day of traveling or a game and you want quick and easy... come here! read more

Next time you're in the Columbus, OH area, you've gotta stop at Brassica!

Located on the lit high st in arts district, this place has the best Mediterranean food I've had in a really long time. Everything is so fresh and made daily! Warm pitas are baked right in front of you. I tried the chicken sandwich with pita crisps and falafel the first time I visited. Soo good! I also tried their famous fries and they are so well seasoned you can't stop licking your fingers. They have decent seating space and definitely put a lot of thought in designing their interiors. Street parking and public parking available if the back lot is full. Safe to say I will be coming here everytime I am in town. read more

Always such amazing flavor. Located in the short north, this location even has a little patio outback which is great. Walking in you are greeted with all the tasty smells to get your pallet up and ready. You can create your own bowl or pita pocket filled with freshly made Mediterranean dishes/items. I love switching things up when I come but no matter what you choose it's going to be full of fresh flavors. This time I got the falafel pita pocket with the roasted eggplant, baba gounoush, roasted carrots, onions and topped off with the lovely green sauce. It's just the perfect combination packed into a pocket. read more

I chanced upon Brassica for the earth day free falafel sandwiches. I was skeptical about it, but it was the best falafel meal I've ever had and the sandwich overall was excellent. I then had a hummus bowl which was good as well. I'm a fan! The staff is also very friendly. One thing I especially appreciated about this establishment is that when they had a "free falafel" day, it was legit free. No tax bill, no email addresses, no signups, no free "but with the purchase of an equally priced blah blah", it was literally the free lunch they say doesn't exist. Refreshing. read more

Great options, especially vegan. Definitely a step above chipotle and great falafel. Usually pretty busy but the staff move fast

Incredible food. Everything was fresh and high quality. Can't recommend it enough. An upgraded cava.

Had previously only eaten here as part of events that were to go or catered. Finally went and ate in person. First off, the vibe is pretty cool at the short north location. You do get a good volume of food for your dollar. You basically build you own etc. Salad, bowel, sandwich or whichever you choose. They have non dairy options which is great and you don't sacrifice flavor. Would definitely recommend. The fries are super crisp and tastey as well! read more
