    Build your own bowl
    Brieyanna B.

    I was excited to try this restaurant thinking it is similar to Cava which it is. I ordered from DoorDash and I was disappointed when I opened up my order. I was supposed to have hot cherry peppers in my bowl but instead there were olives on it. I don't eat olives so I had to pick them out before I could even try the bowl. Not to mention I ordered pita chips and they were so hard they could break a tooth. Once I actually tried it I was pleased with the ingredients that I decided to go with. I will have to go in person next time to make sure that my order is correct.

    This place is everything and more! give currito and bibibop a break and try this. They have halal options too. Fixes my Cava craving. Service is always top notch and the inside is clean and large.

    Service: Phenomenal! Very friendly & excited to talk about what's on their menu. Gave great suggestions. Food: Delicious, fresh, flavorful! Build your own style bowls, wraps, or pitas. They have a wide variety of toppings available. Everything goes well together! We did a blend of rice & couscous, zesty feta, spicy hummus, and eggplant, then a variety of vegetables, chicken, and tzatziki. I love having more fresh options in Cincinnati, so glad this opened and I hope they are successful! Would love to see them expand into northern Kentucky.

    Super yummy, homemade hummus, pitas, salads and wraps... the friendly staff. Let me try all the things I wanted without any frustration, which I enjoy greatly. They are very motivated in allowing you to try everything because you can tell they want you to have the best eating experience possible. I got the lemon chicken pita with the harissa hummus and a variety of toppings. The harissa hummus was zesty, spicy & very good. Clean and organized atmosphere will definitely be back.

    Fresh ingredients and arrived well packed through delivery. The falafel was EXCELLENT. Hummus and dressing were all flavorful and tasted house made. I can't wait to try other options from this place.

    Hummus Republic on Calhoun St is a fantastic addition to UC. The Chipotle style Mediterranean joint has a nice, clean space and is serving up great food. The sauces and veggies are very fresh and the meats are well seasoned and nicely cooked. The chicken shawarma and gyro are both halal and I hope to see them expand the halal options. I look forward to returning and trying the other options.

    Delicious, fresh, friendly staff. Nice open and clean place to sit. Our food came out warm and fresh quickly. We loved all additions and ability to make everything exactly as you like. The feta dip and all olive hummus were really great . A ton of food and reasonably priced. Definitely my new go to for lunch!

    A family operated gem! My husband I came in 2 minutes past closing time and they were happy to serve us. At closing time everything was clean & the friendly family operating made us feel welcomed! We're definitely coming back. (Hint...the food is great! keep it simple, the quality is there so you don't need much)

    Extremely clean and well kept!

    This place has a terrific vibe! While it is modeled after other successful and familiar existing chains in procedure and process, the food quality, freshness, cleanliness, kindness of staff, pleasant and spacious design, and exceptional ease of service exceed all others. From the fresh beverage selections (personal favorite was turmeric and ginger lemonade, but spouse preferred strawberry lychee and daughter preferred pomegranate) to the fresh ingredient bowls and pitas (main options prepared in smaller portions to retain quality and freshness) to grandma's hot sauce (flavorful and deeply enriching), there was nothing I could've possibly found fault in other than my stomach not holding more food! Bravo to these folks! Prime location and great potential! Hopefully, we see more locations around town in the future!

    Really good and much healthier than alternative quick lunch spots. A bit overwhelming at first, but the staff are helpful and friendly.

Plus, free VEGAN wine sampling. Let me say that we are not vegan but love to try different foods & we enjoyed everything we ordered, including the drinks. Everything was also very filling. We split 3 apps between us 2 & couldn't finish them This was a nice black owned spot to support during our weekend visit!

They…read morehad a sign out front that mentioned they do vegan food and as a vegetarian of seventeen years, it was like they were calling my name. I also noticed that they are Black-owned,which is awesome to see. At the time, they had only been open for, I wanna say, two-ish weeks so my colleague and I decided to give it a go. The staff was eager to greet us and we got a seat right away. The space itself is magnificent. The bright bursts of color caught my attention first. It's definitely a vibrant space, modern, trendy, photogenic, fun, and creative. You got to check out the bathrooms - so cool! From what I gathered, the owner helped design it himself. The service is what stood out next. Everyone was so friendly, the chef and owner came to our table to check in, which is always a nice touch. As for food, I was only in for a quick bite so I went with the kale caesar salad and a side of truffle fries. I love me a good kale caesar and that definitely hit the spot. The only con with the food was that the serving sizes were rather small for the price. I believe this spot turns into a nightlife experience in the evenings. They have a full bar and even a DJ booth. I would no doubt visit again in the evening. It's great for a date night or evening with friends. Overall, I hope they succeed and recommend you give them a try, even if you don't like vegan food.

Through all of our visits, we've had some truly wonderful meals, but this one may have been the top! We were immediately greeted at the door by Kristen who welcomed us back and showed is to our preferred table. Shortly after, Henry introduced himself as our server. Having already previewed the just dropped summer menu, we had a pretty good idea what we wanted. Henry shared some specials and we got to to ordering. The tuna appetizer was a great start. Three different cuts of tuna with a peach and oil sauce. The fish was amazing with the slight peach flavor amping it up a notch. Great start. Next we had the pork belly skewer. The pork belly was grilled with a drizzle of Alabama bbq. The pork belly was so tender and flavorful. Again, plenty of smiles to go around. For the main course, we shared the fish and iberico mains. The fish this night was swordfish which was so flavorful and moist. The iberico was tender and, for me, the corn maque choux made the dish. I could have eaten a big bowl of that goodness! Though we dont normally order desert, we did get to peach skillet cobbler. A perfect light tasty finish to the meal. Throughout the evening, Henry was the perfect server, happy to share his observations and always with a smile. Love when we get a minute with Chef Jeff as well. So glad we got to experience this menu so early. We well for sure be back before the next seasonal switch.

The cornbread was awesome - the butter that's on top makes the bread a bit soggy and sweet in the best way possible and the fish was really good. I also don't think that the portions were as small as many other boujee restaurants. With regards to service, we sat at the bar, and the bartender was really cool too. Definitely would come back!
