    Lebanese Cauliflower appetizer and Kafta Kebab
    Geoff D.

    The food is outstanding. The service is quick. The Lebanese Cauliflower is especially tasty. The kebabs (I've had the Kafta and the Beef on separate visits) are generous, juicy and filling. I'm a 4 rather than 5 stars for two reasons. First, informality is just fine for me. I don't require fine dining and the speed that comes with their set up is a plus. But at a place where one orders at the register and picks up your own silverware, plates, napkins, water glasses from a stand near the door, I do not expect to pay more formal dining prices. So $22.95 for Kafta kebab to $26.96 for beef kebob entrees is pushing my budget limits for making this a regular visit. Lamb chops are $32.95. Maybe the sign of times with price of beef these days but ouch. So open eyes - informal doesn't mean cheap. Second, the hummus was generous and tasty with olive oil drizzled on top. Yet the pita was both dry and room temperature. If it had come out of a bag at Kroger's I would have said, bummer but that is what I am paying for. Edible for sure but again, $13.95 for a standard app and then a mid 20s entree. Gets pricey in a hurry especially if buying for more than yourself. So if you are hankering for kebabs, quick, and tasty then it definitely works. But don't be shocked when you tap that card.

    I enjoyed Habibi Grill. The staff was friendly and were able to answer any questions about the menu. The restaurant was clean and they have a small parking lot. Good portions were big and worth the price. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Also once you order your food at the counter it doesn't take long to come out and everything is hot and seasoned well. I would definitely go back.

    Besides the lovely Instagramable decor, the food was delicious! My friend and I ordered the vegetarian plate which had fasolia, houmus, falafel, baba ganoush, grape leaves, fried cauliflower, salad and fresh pita bread. We also decided to order the chicken tawook which was served with rice, pickles and garlic sauce (my favorite anywhere I go!) the service was excellent as we had several of the staff members come to our table and ask us how everything was. I highly recommend this place!

    Habibi Grill is my go to Lebanese restaurant in the city; it is SO good! Their service is super speedy and the food is consistently delicious no matter what you get. My absolute favorite item is the chicken shish tawook wrap, it's the best I've ever had! Their hummus is delicious, and adding shawarma beef or shredded lamb to it, is the ultimate hack for the best loaded hummus! The fattoush salad makes for the perfect side to share & makes for a great balancing and light bite with whatever else you may get. You need to give them a try!

    The food was good. I had a feta wrap however it could have used some more flavor. It was lacking a little bit. The service was great and my food came out fast. The inside also looked nice. However I did think the food was a bit expensive compared to the portion size. I would come back however, I would not be a regular

    We had an overall good experience at Habibi: the food was excellent, priced fair and the staff were very helpful. The restaurant provides counter service with the food delivered to the tables after you order. The ambiance reminded me of a fast casual place, with brighter lighting and serve-yourself water, plates and utensils. We ordered the chicken tawook and the kafta kabob (lamb and beef). We also got the vegetarian platter - which was a great sampling of appetizers. All the food was super flavorful and was presented beautifully. Just a note there is no alcohol on the menu but they have a good assortment of NA drinks. Overall we had a good experience, but it feels like the food quality deserves table service to elevate the experience.

    Baba Ghanoush Pita Bread

    Visiting Ohio for the weekend and found this place in DoorDash. Was ordering for a group and saw they had a combo platter on the app for $80. Filled us up with the rice given. The platter comes with one skewer of chicken tawook, chicken kafta, lamb kafta, and beef shawarma. Topped with pickled vegetables. The chicken tawook was tender and least dry of the bunch. The rest of the skewers were on the dryer side but had good flavors and grill. Went well with the pita and yogurt sauce. Unfortunately they forgot our hummus in the order. The baba ghanoush was solid and had a good eggplant flavor. The beef shawarma wrap was flavorful but the meat was dry. Decent delivery place for the area.

    Walking into Habibi Grill it is underwhelming from the outside but once you open the door you can tell there was care put into the design. The staff was very attentive and immediately walked up to me to greet me. I was just there for takeout, it took a few minutes which is always welcomed that it's actually made to order. Kofta was full of flavor and the fries were golden and crispy!

    I'm not sure where to start. I decided to treat myself to dinner. That's a rare financial splurge for me these days. It had been a while. While everything looked good on the menu, I wish I had read the reviews, especially the negative ones more clearly. I was thrilled to see the presentation my dishes came in. I ordered a half order of hummus, the okra stew, and Lebanese Knafeh. The hummus wasn't terrible, the presentation was beautiful. The saving grace was the olive oil, as that had a nice robust flavor. While the hummus was silky smooth, it lacked flavor. It was the most bland I've ever tasted. As for the okra stew, again, it was beautifully plated. And I love okra,.... I'm completely prepared for a somewhat gelatinous experience when folks don't know how to work with it well, but putting that aside, I honestly think the dish had been sitting in a warmer or food prep and reheated one too many times or something. There was a very mysterious tang on the back pallet and I highly suspect it was going / was bad. There really wasn't any meld of spices or flavor. Just bland tomato base with okra in it. But again, no flavor. Except for that distinct tangy funk of food turning. The yellow rice that accompanied the okra would've been the second best thing about the whole meal. But even then it really had no flavor. I'm not sure how you can do rice like that and have no flavor. I purchased the Knafeh dessert "to go" at the time of ordering my entrée and side. It arrived wrapped in saran wrap in a box with a ketchup packet type of syrup to garnish (sugar water, no orange blossom). I expected it to be ready to eat if I ordered it to go. Clarity on that might have been helpful. I'm kind of saddened by this because I would've liked to have actually had orange blossom syrup as promised on the menu. Also, the Knafeh is supposed to be layers of shredded phyllo but it was one solid block Saran-wrapped block of starchy Stuff. I didn't get much cheese flavor out of it either. While I ordered it to go, it still was supposed to have come with pistachios dusted on the top. That was not the case. While you order your own food, they do deliver it and clear the table for you. I don't feel like it was appropriate to basically force me to tip upon checkout. I could've opted for nothing or typed in a zero, but that also felt off. So this terrible meal sent me back about $46. I really wanted to love it. **Edit to Add: While I took home leftovers (basically everything except the hummus), I tossed them in the bin as the stew had definitely turned to the dark side.

    What an great experience we had for last weekend. This place feels authentic and the staff is super friendly. We hesitated about what to order and we finally decided to order the 2-3 platter combination (maybe is not that the name) but it had a little bit of the main dishes and I was impressed about the portions and the flavor, I could order this again if I'm going with the family or friends to share the meal but if you want to order different entrees is valid too, the only thing I did not like a tad is the fact that you have to order at the counter, get your own plate, water and silverware and the prices are elevated for this kind of fact food system. For those prices I would expect to have a full service. But hey give it a try and you won't regret it.

    I've been here a few times and crave it often! The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and has two dining areas. The parking is a bit tricky in their lot but there's street parking available. The restaurant is usually lively and busy, but it's welcoming. There's a self serve station for plates, utensils, seasonings, and water! We usually get a couple entrees to share and you really can't go wrong with anything. They also have platter options for groups and their portions are decently sized and filling. I really enjoy their lamb and beef options, they're flavorful and made well. Their hummus is absolutely delicious, I recommend! I also liked their spicy potato side dish, it was very good. I also recommend their spiced chai, it's warm, flavorful, and sweet. Overall, you can't go wrong and you'll be back to try it all. Staff is always kind, always helpful, and they'll take care of you! I recommend them for groups, casual date, tasty food, and a good experience! Have been back many times and will continue to come back.

    Lamb Shank
    Ness S.

    This review is based on my first visit to Habibi grill. The ordering is cafeteria style. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. They have some dine ins but I think their biggest business appears to be takeout. We dined in. The ambience is casual but fine. The baba ghanoush was outstanding. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. For our main course we shared the lamb shank. It was tender and the gravy that came with it was very nice. It came over rice and potatoes and carrots -- a fairly large dish -- easy to share. Oh, I forgot -- the baba came with lots of pita bread. I'll definitely be back to try some of their kebabs.

The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes such great care of you, no matter your dietary restrictions. They are genuinely the kindest and most helpful staff I've ever experienced at any local restaurant in Columbus. Being family-run, dining here truly feels like you're part of their family.

My recent birthday…read moredinner at Sidebar Columbus fell squarely -- and triumphantly -- into the latter category. From the moment we arrived, the service set the tone for what would become an unforgettable dining experience. Our server, Lacey delivered hospitality with the kind of effortless grace that can't be taught. She anticipated needs before they were spoken, guided us through the menu with confidence, and maintained a warmth that made our table feel like the only one in the room. Wine & Cocktails: A Study in Balance and Craft The wine selection was superb -- thoughtfully curated, expressive, and perfectly paired with the richness of the evening's dishes. The cocktails were equally impressive, crafted with precision and a clear respect for balance. Each sip felt intentional, layered, and celebratory. The Paella: A Showstopper But the true star of the night was the paella -- a dish so masterfully executed it deserves its own ovation. The rice was tender yet structured, infused with deep saffron warmth and kissed with just enough socarrat to make any purist smile. The seafood was impeccably fresh, each component cooked to its ideal texture. It was the kind of paella that silences a table, not out of politeness, but out of reverence. When the chef personally came out to greet us, it only reinforced what the dish had already made clear: this is a kitchen led by someone who cooks with both technique and heart. A Birthday Elevated My husband orchestrated the evening beautifully, and Sidebar rose to meet the moment with finesse. Our guests were genuinely impressed -- not just by the food, but by the seamless choreography of service, ambiance, and attention to detail. It felt less like a dinner and more like a curated celebration Final Thoughts Sidebar Columbus delivers the rare combination of exceptional cuisine, polished service, and heartfelt hospitality. The paella alone is worth crossing the city for, but the entire experience -- from Laceys attentive care to the chef's personal touch -- transforms a simple night out into something memorable. For anyone seeking a dining experience that feels both elevated and warmly personal, Sidebar stands confidently at the top.
