We recently had dinner for 110 people and they provided an excellent buffet with lots of vegetarian options for some of our guests.

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.

A true gem and a must for anybody in Columbus to try.

I loved the beef shawarma, whereas the chicken shawarma was good too. I'm just not much of a chicken fan as I am of beef and lamb, but it was still good. The combination of meat to salad, pickle, and garlic toum was perfect. The filafels were on point too, along with the hummus tasting exceptionally good.

There was a photo of a barramundi entree that looked good, so I ordered that. I also got a chicken shawarma entree. The entrees come with rice & side salad. I also ordered a fried cauliflower side. After unpacking my bag at home, I found 5 pieces of pita bread with extra garlic sauce. It is whipped and very garlicky. I didn't like it and couldn't eat it. They had plastic lidded cups of fresh juices on ice for around $7. They are closed on Tuesdays. They do not serve alcohol. I thought the food was good, and portioned well. They are a bit pricey, but the food tasted fresh.

The menu was only on the wall and it listed names of dishes and prices but no photos or descriptions. It made ordering difficult. For some reason, my Chicken Shawarma Bowl included rice but my friend's Felafel Bowl did not. My vegetables were nice & fresh but my chicken was tiny little strips that seemed like chicken product - it was strips or stripes of dark and light meat and it didn't really look like or taste like chicken. My bowl also needed a lot more sauce. Also, the restaurant had no music so it was so quiet that you could hear everyone else's conversation. I think we all tried to whisper but still it was uncomfortable. This "new" Lashish is no substitute for the old one.

I ordered the Eggplant Zorba Style which was actually listed as a Starter but it came with grilled pita and it was more than enough food for a meal. We all got our correct food order, though two people had their bills switched and one person paid and left early without noticing so someone else got stuck with the other's higher bill. Glad it wasn't me. Other than that, our waiter was perfect. He ran back and forth and took care of everyone's details.

I ordered the Chicken Mishwi Salad with Za-atar Vinaigrette dressing. The dressing was mostly tasteless but the salad ingredients were quite tasty so that made up for it.

A friend ordered the hummus & pita and I was disappointed in the pita. It was kind of thin (not what you'd expect pita to be) and cold.
