    I stopped in for a late lunch/ early dinner on a weekday. It was not very crowded. I had never been in before so I was browsing the menu. The guys behind the counter did not offer any help & seemed annoyed when I asked questions. I ended up ordering a tawouk sandwich meal for $21 & a mixed grill meal for $28. The sandwich chicken was dry even with the sauce. They put the chicken, sauces, pickles & fries inside your lavish & grill it. We could not tell the flavor of the pink sauce? The orange sauce was a bit spicy and the white was garlicy toum which I liked the best. The fries are just battered restaurant wholesale fries- nothing special. I actually would have preferred rice. The mixed grill was tasty, but again dry and for $28 you didn't get much. The mango & strawberry drinks were good. They also add a service fee if paying by credit card. I thought this place was going to be the bomb! There is better Lebanese food in town, especially for the price. I don't think I'll be back.

    Food was really good , and the service as well I really recommend it I'm glad we give it a chance

    Chicken Kabob
    Barb H.

    The place looked clean & the proprietor was very nice. I asked what the pink sauce was and he gave me a sample to try. However, I was disappointed with the food. My friend and I each ordered a chicken kabab which was listed on the menu as including chicken and salad. However, mine consisted of chicken, french fries and a pickle. No salad whatsoever but LOTS of fries. Plus, the chicken was an elongated chicken nugget - breaded or batter dipped and deep fried! I've ordered a lot of chicken in mideast/mediterranean restaurants (chicken tawouk, chicken shawarma) and never got anything like that so it never crossed my mind to ask if it was going to be deep fried. Plus all those french fries?? I won't be going back.

    The food was incredible and so was the service but it took a minute to prepare. Also the music was so loud I couldn't hear myself think, so it's not a place I would return to for a casual lunch. However, I work locally and would continue to recommend this place to my friends and support the community.

    This place has some delicious food. You place your order at the counter and they cook the food right in front of you. It did take about 10 minutes for the food to be prepared/cooked, buts it's definitely worth the wait. At Farooj Abo Al Abed, nothing is pre-cooked, reheated, or microwaved. Every protein starts raw, fresh, and goes straight to the charcoal. That means your order may take a little longer--but that's the secret behind the flavor. Think of it like your own backyard BBQ , except @aboalabed.ohio does the grilling, the flipping, the seasoning , and the saucing!!! Trust me..... This stuff is DELICIOUS . Pro foodie tip: Ask for one of each of their sauces. They are very unique and incredibly delicious. When you stop by, don't forget to tell them: recommended by @ohiofoodie614.

    This is the first USA location for what is supposedly a Middle Eastern hotspot (they have 66 locations in several countries). They are so popular that even without a Google profile and barely a webpage, their lines are out of the door. We ourselves waited 90 minutes (dumb, I know, but FOMO) to just order our food (which did arrive within 15 minutes of ordering). The restaurant is very new and they are still working out their kinks, so give them time and bring a lot of patience if you are going there soon-ish. That said, my signature spicy chicken wrap was fresh, however the fries were stale. They have some unique drinks (similar to those at Al-Manakeesh), and some appetizers that I am unfamiliar with, but want to try the next time I go there.

    Pros Generous portions Courteous staff Location easy to find Cons Door was still locked 12m after opening Wait time What I got Musahub meal. I wanted the towouk but they had just opened and said it was a 15m wait. I ended waiting the same amount of time maybe more for my meal bc there were lots of people working the kitchen and grill but only 1 person working the register and preparing the orders. Overall i was very full and honestly this meal can be shared for 2 people. A bit pricey but I think cheaper isnt always better. Nice atmosphere. Very clean. Helpful toward customers. Imo the chicken lacked flavor it was ok but not memorable. I expected more flavor and more char. I wouldnt go out of my way like I did this morning to drive there. But If im in the area again Id give it another try. Do not recommend going when they first open. Garlic sauce was solid and the pink sauce was ok. I did not try the spicy sauce. Mango drink was cool. Fries were fries :) 7/10

    There was so much hype in this place, so we had to go and check it out ourselves. We waited more than an hour to order food. The line to place order was literally out of the restaurant. They have few good tables, but since they're packed, good luck on grabbing a table (first come first grab.) When we finally were able to order, I ordered the spicy chicken wrap and fires were stale. I waited another 1/2 hour to get my food. The wrap tasted ok, but the fires tasted stale. I keep hearing that the line is so long because the food is made to order. Well, my fries did not taste fresh. It was just stale fries. For me, it is not worth for me to go back with the long lines to order and get my food, especially when the good is just "ok."

    Tried their signature chicken which is grilled chicken in a thin pita like wrap. You can see them grilling the chicken kebab style and the meat is tender and smoky. Even though there is chicken in every bite, I feel the price is steep for a chicken wrap.

    I went their for lunch it was not too busy at that time. But it took a long time to get my food. The service was great though. They manager gave me a few extra items for my wait. The sandwich is a decent size it tastes really good. I will say I was intrigued by the pink sauce. Because of its color I thought it would taste a little sweet, but it is more on the savory side. Even though it was good i feel like it's overpriced. The restaurant has plenty of seating and there's plenty of parking outside.

    We had an absolutely amazing experience at this new Lebanese/Middle Eastern restaurant! The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was outstanding from start to finish. The pink sauce deserves its own shoutout -- truly exceptional. They were kind enough to let us sample a lamb shoulder that wasn't even on the menu, and my husband said it was the best lamb he's ever had. The chicken tawook meal was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the eggplant appetizer was insanely good. Even the little details impressed us -- the French fries were delicious and the mango juice was amazing and refreshing. Clean inside, no issues at all. You can tell they care about quality and customer experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try!

    COMPLETELY OBSESSED! We've ordered from Farooj twice and both times it was amazing! My husband almost cried the kababs were so good! The portions were great and we absolutely loved the mini bucket with lemon garlic sauce! I have been telling all my friends to check it out! The service is always spectacular at this restaurant and despite being busy they were quick and efficient!

    Chicken Kabab
    Tara S.

    Went with some friends the other day. The place was brightly lit and very clean. We ordered at the counter and I got a chicken kabab meal with fries and a drink. For a some up charge you can get lemonade and other special drinks which some of my friends did and love it. We found a seat and only had a short wait for our food. I was impressed with the portions and the huge amount of fries! The food was absolutely delicious- fresh -and full of flavor! You can tell the owners take a great deal of pride in the place and came around to check in on us and even offered us free tabbouleh, which was the not only do kind but also delicious. I thought the price was super reasonable and like I mentioned great portions. I highly recommend everyone check it out!

I was early enough for happy hour and had a wonderful Cucumber Gimlet. The service was excellent. I ordered the House Chopped Salad, Lake Erie Walleye, and Lemon Blueberry Panna Cotta. The salad tasted really good and fresh. The Walleye too. I liked the fennel salad with cilantro lime rice. I ate half to take some home and not be too full for dessert. The panna cotta was good, mostly because of the topping. It is not something I would order again, being kind of bland, but to no fault of the kitchen.

My wife and I decided to share their whipped ricotta appetizer and their French onion burger. The appetizer came with thinly cut crusted baguette. The ricotta cheese was mixed with some strawberry flavor. It wasn't bad but I would have preferred it to be thicker in constituency. The burger and fries came out perfectly cut into half portions for each of us, which was a really nice touch. We had asked for the burger to be cooked medium rare and I think it came out more like a medium well. The patty itself was a bit dry. This may be a one off issue and we hope to return to try some other dishes.

We told the woman at the register that it was our first visit, and she was very helpful. She told us the Joya's Breakfast Sandwich was their most popular sandwich, so we both ordered one. It comes on a pav-tato roll with bacon, cheesy eggs, chutneys and chives. I thought it was excellent. It has a distinctive flavor and a little bit of a kick. Cindy noticed the heat more than I did, but she really liked the sandwich and especially loved the pav-tato roll. Everything tasted fresh, the portion size was great for brunch, and we both finished the whole thing. I had the Rose Mocha. The rose was pretty subtle to me, but it was a very good mocha regardless. Cindy had coffee and said it was excellent. Joya's is small and cozy, and it stayed busy during our visit around 11 AM. There were usually three or four people in line at the register, but service was quick. Our drinks arrived within a couple of minutes and the sandwiches in about 5-7 minutes. I also got a kick out of the self-serve water station: sparkling H2O is "fancy water," iced H2O is "cold water, very sad," and ambient H2O is "just water, kinda mid." Little touches like that give the place personality. The prices may be a little more than some places, but the portions were good, everything tasted fresh, and the quality made it feel worthwhile.

It had a bit of sweetness that balanced with the other flavors so beautifully. The chicken sandwich was also a 10/10 from my husband, despite being eaten an hour after ordering. Though, if we had to pick one, we'd say the Kati roll would win. We were seated almost immediately after ordering. Despite how busy it was, it didn't feel over-crowded. They told us about 45 min for our food, since they were so busy and backed up, but our food arrived not even 20 minutes later. Also, everyone we interacted with was so kind and pleasant! Honestly, everything we tried was perfection. As a Bengali myself, I was overjoyed with the representation. I can't wait to come back (maybe on a weekday when the line might be shorter?)
