This Brassica location never misses a step on service or food quality. The staff here is genuinely so friendly and works efficiently even when it is slammed. The food is reliably fresh and delicious. My favorites are the seasoned french fries and the minty pink lemonade. That said, they have followed the trend of increased prices and greatly reduced portions. Recently, the bowl I had was 90% rice and greens, with tablespoon portions of meat and toppings. You are not getting any value, but it will taste good!

One place we miss when we moved from the area is Brassica. We always come when we are in town. For a vegetarian and vegan, this is a great meal. The falafel is very tasty (also not fried with any meat items, if you are picky like us). The pita is made fresh (oven is right there to see). The toppings are a great selection. Fries are a must. It is busy when we come, but the staff is quick and always getting fresh food out. The place is bright and bigger than the short north area (and free parking).

I'm addicted go Brassica. Whenever I visit my friend who lives in colombus, I make sure we go here. The food is just sooo yummy. Got a falafel bowl this time along with their brassarita! Both were tasty- although the drink was a bit strong for me!

We had a tasty lunch at this popular place in Upper Arlington. A nice crowd at lunchtime but staff kept the line moving along. Despite the crowd, we immediately found seating. The room was nicely laid out and kept in clean condition. I had a baba sandwich with veggies. Fresh tasting a quite delicious. I especially enjoyed the extra seasoned eggplant I opted to add. The pita was still warm. Friendly staff and good food make Thai one a good lunch option.

Salad with falafel

[Lane Avenue] 6PM The good - Everything we had was very tasty. Food included a sandwich with hummus and chicken, a salad with hummus and falafel, fries, and hummus plate with falafel. Basically all of these things are variations of each other. All are very tasty. Especially like the pickled veggies and THE SAUCES- try them all. Special sauce especially. I had one of the beers on tap - I think it was Wheat beer. It was fine. Overall a good vibe. The room is clean, inviting, and the staff is friendly - and patience. The 'wish it was a little bit better' - Parking wasn't great. Actually came the day before and it was too packed, so we went elsewhere. Came back and got a spot. The line gets long/slow as each order needs some time to assemble. Not sure how to make it faster but the wait felt slow. This might be a hot take, but I thought the bread for the sandwich was just 'ok'. It was warm, fresh, etc, but it was a bit doughy for my liking. Maybe if they left it in the over for 30 more seconds(?) Portion on the fries was small...ie not really sharing-size. But they were really good...try with all the dips. A bit expensive too. If you're a fan of Cava, you'll really like this place. If I lived here, I'd come back often. You might feel out of place if you don't wear yoga pants/leggings.

Brassica truly never misses. It's one of my favorite fast-casual Mediterranean spots. It is consistently fresh, flavorful, and reliable. The space itself is beautiful: clean and thoughtfully designed, with greenery, warm lighting, and modern tables that give it a cozy, welcoming ambiance. The service is always quick and efficient, and the quality of the food is amazing. I've tried the chicken, brisket, and falafel, and each protein is equally delicious in its own way. You can tell this place is run with care. They've perfected their system, and I've never had anything less than a great experience here.

Falafel!! They do free falafel sandwiches on Earth Day!

Brassica is and will forever be a Columbus favorite for me and has been for many years. If you have not tried Brassica, you need to go. Every time I go I am always so happy with the food. It has so much flavor and you can tell the fresh quality of their ingredients. The fries are really good too and so is their tahini chocolate chip cookie! I crave their food regularly. You can't go wrong whether you pick the sandwich or the bowl. Go to Brassica period lol

Sandwich, Minty Pink Lemonade, Brassica Fries

I stopped by Brassica for the first time with a few coworkers. And I will be back! Best described to me as "Mediterranean Chipotle," you choose a base (I chose the pita sandwich) then hummus or a different sauce. Then some toppings, including your protein, before the choice of multiple sauces. I assembled a pretty tasty meal for myself and enjoyed their fries. They also have a house mint lemonade that was delicious. Parking at this location could be an issue, though seating seemed to available while we were there (roughly 11:45-12:45).

This is the fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant of my dreams. If I could, I would open Brassica's all over California and Hawai'i. What is good? Everything! Brisket Hummus Bowl: The first time I got Brassica, I ordered this. . . with all the fixings- if it was on the line, I added it! Includes an organic pita that is light and airy. Falafel Salad: Comes with greens, and grains, and, of course, I added anything and everything. The pickled veg is so, so good. Must order a side of fries, a tahini chocolate chip cookie, and a minty pink lemonade that I mix soda water into to make it sparkly. The customer service goes above and beyond. If you're meeting up with friends you may want to check out the extensive and reasonably priced bottles of wine, beer on draft, or the Brassica margarita.

I took a quick trip up to Columbus for the day and decided to stop at Brassica for some dinner before driving back to Cincinnati. They were so busy the line was literally out the door. It was freezing outside, but it was worth the wait. The salad bowl was so fresh and the brisket was lean and flavorful. My boyfriend and I had to each get our own Brassica fries on the side. They were seasoned perfectly, and the sauce was sweet and complimented the seasoning perfectly. We also tried the minty pink lemonade. I never knew mint went so well with lemonade, but it was amazing. I definitely recommend stopping here for your next meal!

This place has been only radar for sometime, Today was the day. This place was amazing, from the fresh ingredients to the fresh pita oh my. I opted for the slow roasted chicken shawarma with too many topping to list. Also we tried the brisket which is a harissa rubbed beef brisket, which is only sold until sold out. So get here early, Both were so tender and favorable, it would be extremely hard to just pick one. The fries were ok, however the Tahini chocolate chip cookie... ahh I could have eaten a dozen of these definitely a must try! So if you been waiting to try don't wait any longer. Was greeted both when we walked in and as we left, fantastic service. The only thing keeping this from A five star is price, but don't let that stop you from trying out.

Brassica is a Lebanese-inspired, Chipotle-style fast casual joint that lets you build your own pita sandwiches, salads, or hummus and chips. I usually get the salad option, akin to a bowl, with a base of lentils and greens. Protein choices include falafel, vegetable mix, chicken shawarma, or harissa-rubbed brisket. I've always gotten the chicken shawarma and the flavoring is really good. Next comes the vegetables (roasted carrots, marinated eggplant or cauliflower), and you top it off with a variety of sauces. My go-to sauces are the 'special' sauce (think tzatziki without dill) and roasted red pepper. In addition, you can add either hummus or baba ganoush, as well as crispy onions or crushed up pita chips to give it a crunch. The ingredients are fresh, delicious, and blend together wonderfully. One downside for first timers is that the menu board is posted on the left hand side near the front entrance, which makes it difficult to view once you get to the serving line. I'm not sure if they have handheld laminated menus, but imagine that could be helpful. In addition, the food is rather pricey for similar style restaurants -- my most recent bowl was $16 without a drink or any extras (i.e. the fries, which are pretty popular). However, the quality is excellent so as long as you're okay with paying a bit extra for high quality ingredients with superb flavor, Brassica is definitely worth trying!

I am gluten free and they have such a fantastic and helpful attitude. I was even able to enjoy their wonderful (better than mine) falafel.

Sometimes it's easy to overlook Cafe Istanbul since it's not the walking distance of Bridge Park or…read moreHistoric Dublin, but don't let that deter you! It's a short drive and well worth it! It's a beautiful restaurant that sits along the river and has some beautiful views - especially on a gorgeous spring/summer evening! Their food is top notch as well! I've dined in several times in the past, but decided to get takeaway and take it to the pavilion by the pedestrian bridge to people watch and have a nice after dinner walk. Food to go was just as good as dining in - at least for the Chicken Kebab. Made with white meat chicken, you get 5-6 large pieces with rice and veggies. I was excited to learn they had rice pudding to go as well because theirs is quite good! I ordered over the phone, had about a 25 min wait on a busy evening. All were friendly and ensuring I was being helped.

Our server was attentive and patient with us as we were catching up on our holiday stories. We both had the chicken wrap, which was really tasty. I opted out of fries with my meal and got the rice. It was a good choice. The bread and tomato oil were really good. I was trying not to have bread before my meal but couldn't resist. They have a full bar which we didn't have a drink and they have which appeared to be three large dining areas.
