    We ordered takeout after seeing lots of people post about Dahab online! It was fresh and delicious! I ordered the Chicken Tawook, Baba Ghanoush and the Chicken Wing entree and everything was wonderful!

    Amazing food and impeccable service. The lentils soup was fantastic. The hummus and Baba were the best I've had in Columbus. And the half chicken was absolutely the best chicken I e ever had. This restaurant is a must have

    Vegetarian sampler platter
    Brent T.

    This restaurant has only been open for a few weeks, but it is fantastic! Your meal starts with a complementary cup of Lentil soup, which boasted a complex and subtle mixture of seasonings. I ordered the Vegetarian Sampler. The Falafel is the best I've had anywhere: super crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful on the insides. Hummus and Baba Ghanoush are both top notch, nicely seasoned on top with fresh parsley. The Grape Leaves were vegetarian, stuffed with seasoned rice, but served warm. I've never had them that way before, but it worked. The portion was huge. I took at least half of it home. Columbus Food Adventures notes that Dahab has a traditional Jordanian dish, Mansaf, which is Lamb marinated in fermented yogurt, then grilled and served on a bed of rice on a paper-thin flatbread. I intend to try that when I am able to.

    Chicken schwarma, salad and hummus

    We each ordered the chicken schwarma with rice and selected our sides as salad and hummus. The salad was so fresh. Everything had a wonderful taste. It was a huge amount of food which we probably could have shared. However, we are both happy to have leftovers. We loved the outdoor patio seating but the inside was nice and clean as well.

    Combo Platter

    The food here was great! We ordered the combo platter. The menu says it serves 2 to 3 but we had four people and a ton left over. The kafta and kebab meat were delicious! We also had the appetizer sampler and really enjoyed everything. When you walk in, it looks like a fast casual restaurant with a counter and a small amount of seating but if you go upstairs, there's a beautiful space with full service dining. The only drawback was the service was a little slow. The food came quickly once we placed our order, but it was hard to get the waitress's attention throughout the evening and I noticed other patrons having the same issue.

    This is the cheese pizza that was there

    Too expensive Food is bad made me throw up We got scammed Service was bad Ambience is the same

    Beef and Lamb Kebob plate with lentil soup

    Food and service was excellent. They have a comfortable outdoor dining area. Their beverage selection is limited. They offered me some freshly made lentil soup that had some wonderful searing and no lumps.

    Wow really enjoyed lunch here. The restaurant is a little off the beaten path, but worth the trip…read more It is located in Hilliard and about 15 minutes from downtown Columbus. We started with the next appetizer plate. You get to try a little bit of everything, but my favorite was the dolmas. The hummus and Baba are both incredible. I couldn't get enough of it and used it on my entrées as well. For entrées, we ordered chicken biryani and tandoori beef kabob bbq. Everything was extremely flavorful and well prepared. My favorite dish was the beef kabob which I didn't expect! Enjoyed the chicken biryani but do wish the chicken came without bones. Definitely would return and recommend this place for a unique menu. It's not typical that you would be able to order Moroccan and Pakistani food at one restaurant!

    Everything was stellar about this place. I went to get takeout and the Moroccan owner who greeted…read moreme when I arrived at the restaurant was super nice and welcoming. He told another customer "I want you to have the best customer experience" and he even showed me his clay oven where they bake their naan (see picture). He even asked he where I was from and talked about what made each of their dishes great. It is clear that he and his co-owner (the Pakistaani chef) are proud of their restaurant and their food. He promised that the food would be delicious and in describing each item, he set the bar quite high for me! Driving home was torture as the aromas of the food were so tempting. But then when we finally dug into the meal, we were blown away. Everything we ordered was great; the palak paneer, the Pakistani whole chicken (great deal and takes 45 minutes to make), the baba ghanoush. I would highlight the daal lentil which was freshly made and a bit spicy and full of flavor which we loved. The naan is generous in serving and airy. And for me the best thing was the lamb tagine. I had an awesome tagine years ago in France at a Moroccan restaurant that was so tender, the meat just melted in my mouth. This dish came close to that memory, with a generous serving of dates covered in sesame, complementing the flavor of the lamb. It will be hard for me not to get this dish every time. I cannot recommend this restaurant more. This has been one of the best meals I've had here in Columbus in the last few months. Between the friendly staff and the excellent food, it is definitely worth a try.
