We loved our experience at Joyas this morning in downtown Worthington. We started with the iced milk chai and nitro cold brew. We split the breakfast sandwich and toast in a cup. Both were packed with flavor. I seriously want to bottle the sauces and put it on everything!! Welcome to the neighborhood, Joyas! We can't wait to be back!! read more

The absolutely best brekkie place ever. I would not pass a single opportunity to grab a nitro chai every time I arrive. It's super creamy and has ALL the spices. I've gotten the Not Pad Thai and the Breakfast Sandwich and the Egg Toast in a Box and honestly never regretted an order in my life. Also super cute location in downtown Worthington as well so what is there not to love about this place?? read more

Sooooo goooooooood! As a long time fan of Service Bar, I eagerly awaited the opening of Chef Avishar's new venture. It was worth the wait. It was not terribly busy on a Wednesday morning. The toast in a cup was amazing and the perfect breakfast for a lazy morning. There was so much variety of flavor and texture within one cup - nothing bland and homogenous here! The other thing that impressed me was the compostable cup, compostable utensils, and the reusable cups for water at the self service in the back. I'm not the greenest person, but I try to do my best with recycling, composting, and eliminating single use products in my home as much as possible. It's the wave of the future, and I'm so glad that Joya's is doing its part. read more

I had no idea this was Avishar, from top chef Portland, cafe when I was there and being such a fan, I'm embarrassed for myself. Anyway a My friend was just raving about it so we stopped by Saturday for quick brunch to check it out and it was very tasty. Highly recommend: - breakfast sandwich - wish it was bigger if anything but great flavors - scotch egg - surprisingly delish and came with a nice jam - Thai iced tea - perfect balance of sweet - glazed donut - a wee bit fry but still nice flavor Would love to come back and try the rest of the menu. Service was nice and there were ebbs and flows of crowds. read more

We were seated at one of only two tables by the front door which was quite cold on this wintery day. Bar stools lined both sides of the narrow aisle. Service was very good. They have a very small eclectic menu where they try to meet the needs of those with dietary restrictions. I had the egg sandwich and just wasn't impressed for what cost $16 with the tip. read more

I heard so much about this place and finally tried it today. My husband and I usually order a few things and share so we get a tasting of a few things. First it was super busy with a line to the door, it's a small place so it has limited seating. We ordered the nitro chai, joyas milk chai, the joyas breakfast sandwich (13) and the Crispy Chicken Manchurian Sandwich (16). It was all very good! The nitro chai is cold, sweet and more spicy. The joyas chai can be hot or cold, we chose hot. It's less sweet and not very spicy in flavor. The Joyas breakfast sandwich was light, not overly filling but very good. $13 seems a little pricey for what it is, but it was good. The crispy chicken Manchurian sandwich was very messy, it seems to have some Korean influence with the cabbage and pickled cucumbers. It was more filling than the joyas sandwich, very tasty but again over priced in my opinion. I think I would have felt better if they offered fries/chips/hash browns with either sandwich. I would come again as a treat, not as a regular. read more

Hands down the best breakfast I have had in a very long time. We got the cheesy double crunch and the Joya's fried rice. The portions were large and unbelievably delicious. The chicken on the fried rice pretty much melts in your mouth, it is so so tender. 5/5. Highly recommend!! read more

My sister and I discovered this place after she read reviews. Let me say that we were not disappointed at all. The first thing you noticed was the restaurant was pretty intimate, we looked at the menu while waiting in line and when our turn came we ordered, paid and grabbed some seats at the bar. Our server asked if we wanted either sparkling or still water. Within a few minutes our food came out. One bite and we knew we would be back again. We happened to have gotten there before their busy time that was why we were able to find seating. Based on that alone, we would order ahead for a pick up if we were pressed for time. read more

I was finally able to try the food after months of trying to get in. Every time we've tried to get some food, they are super busy. The food is really good but WOW - it is not cheap. I had the Double Crunch Tacos with an Ice Chai Tea, and my husband had the Chicken Sandwich with water. That's it. The total was $39 before tip. That is pretty expensive for a lunch. And the portions are not all that significant. My husband was still hungry after he ate his sandwich and the tacos were relatively small. If you're super hungry, you might want to go somewhere else. read more

If I had to sum it up in one word: PHENOMENAL!!!! The food here isn't cheap, but you are paying for fresh and well-curated ingredients. You can tell everything is made fresh that morning and that these flavor profiles are very well thought out. Everything that entered my mouth was a wonderful burst of flavors and textures. I have not one negative thing to say about this food. I don't know what my favorite item was, as I tried both the Kati roll and the Breakfast sandwich (Bobby's way). They were both absolutely amazing. I'm sorry to not give better descriptions, but I was truly blown away by how good this food was. My cortadito was also perfectly sweetened without being too much, very good! The only worked I interacted with was the guy behind the counter taking our orders, and he was very delightful and helpful. Our food came out within 10 minutes and was warm. The only thing I have to say negatively is that this space is very small for the amount of people who want to eat there. That's definitely the customer's problem, not the restaurants. Ambiance was a warm and cozy vibe, even with so many people in a small space. I loved it and I can't wait to be back. read more

I visited about a month ago with some friends and had a great experience. The restaurant is located in a cute area in Worthington surrounded by other shops and restaurants. There is a convenient parking lot behind the restaurant which is nice. The times I've been there, it has been packed so that tells you how delicious and popular it is. We waited in line for not too long, ordered, and our food came in a pretty good time considering how busy it was. I got my chai milk first and it was delicious. My boyfriend and I shared the breakfast sandwich Bobby's way and the Kati roll. Both were delicious and had hints of Indian spices which I really love. The flavors were so different from what I'm used to and they all went well together. I would definitely go back to try something new. Joyas has amazing dishes and great service. read more

Wow. I cant wait to go back. The line moves fast and it's very well worth the minimal wait. Give it a try.

A lot of hype around this place. I had a free morning so I decided to stop in. It's in downtown or "old" worthington so parking was a little tricky. It was around 9am so I went with the breakfast sandwich although the chicken sandwich was verrrrry tempting. I also ordered the hot chai. I waited for a little while, think they are still working out the kinks. But the breakfast sandwich was so so good! I am usually not a big egg girl but the flavors really balanced themselves out well here. I would be back maybe closer to lunch to try out their other items! read more

Service was very good and the food was good. The atmosphere is normal for a small place.

Avis bar always crushes it - bringing some favorites from his old place at Service Bar and serving it up in a breakfast/lunch only space in a great location in Worthington. We got the Manchurian sandwich, Kathi Roll (one of the best bites of food in Columbus, IMO) and not pad Thai. Everything is so well seasoned and has such an array of Bengali and Eastern flavors. Great coffee selection too. Man, I hope this place opens up for dinner also!! read more

Joya is a cozy restaurant in Worthington with friendly, attentive staff. The curated dinner menu is beautifully prepared. I had the Not-Pad Thai. The tender, flavorful rice noodles are tossed in a chili sauce and wok-seared bok choy and eggplant and topped with a delicate omelette and fresh Thai basil. This is by far the best fusion dish I've had in Columbus! Thanks to Joya's for the awesome experience! read more

I came here for brunch with a friend and loved this place! They have vegetarian and gluten free variations on their foods and are great about asking if you have food allergies. I got a vegetarian cheesy double crunch taco and a latte. Both were delicious! The staff were friendly and attentive. There was even an area where people can play old Nintendo games, which was very cool to see. Since it is a small place, it can be hard to get a table, but it is absolutely worth the visit! read more

The food and drinks are all delicious. I especially loved the Kati roll (perfect balance of savory and sweet, with a hint of spiciness, though the roll itself is fried, so it is a little greasy and I have trouble getting through more than half of it at once) and breakfast sandwich (each bite is so fluffy--it tastes much better than the simple appearance gives off! Not sure what magic they did haha). My friends also enjoyed their hash puppies and fried rice. The browned butter Rice Krispie was amazing. Drinks wise, would definitely get any of the coffees or chais again. It can be hard to find a place to sit when we came here for Saturday lunch, but you can always order for takeout. Food came pretty quickly (within 5-10 min). Music was nice and not too loud for conversation. Would definitely come back again. read more

Ever since I heard of Joya's concept (Bengali-inspired breakfast food?!) I've been excited to stop by. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the space, which felt creative & inspired without being intimidating, with cool nitro taps, little gift shelves, and even free sparkling water on tap (!!). The chicken samosa was the singular best samosa I've ever had: the outside was perfectly fried, and filling was fresh. Unfortunately, the two sandwiches we tried (the Manchurian chicken & breakfast sandwich) were underwhelming in comparison, and tasted almost indistinguishable from those of competitors. The chicken was dry and Manchurian sauce was overpoweringly sweet. If I was to return, I think I would venture to trying more complex savory items instead. read more

Hot and spicy food and everything I've had was right up my alley. I've been there three times and tried different foods each time. It's very small though, so hard to get a table. Sat at the counter once but was with3 friends and so we could not really chat together in that location. Also, my husband is not a fan of very spicy food, so the options for him were limited. Still, if you like spicy...this place is the bomb!! Yum yum yum!!! read more

This restaurant was brand new to me. I was in search of great place for best place for brunch in Columbus and this was on the list. Seating is limited but they quickly filter people in and out. The food was unique yet amazing. I had the brisket tacos and my grandson the donut. We will return. I was very good. read more

Finally got to try this place. This place has cute aesthetics and food is great. We have tried breakfast sandwich (Veg) and Toast in a box (Veg) both turned out to be good. The egg in the sanwich is fluffy and saucy, Potato pav is perfectly done and worth trying. Toast in a box has lot of flavors in it and especially their sauces are yummy which makes the dish more interesting. Store is mostly eco friendly with little details like steels glasses and eco friendly tooth picks. Loved this place and great food. read more

First time at Joya's and would highly recommend. The service was friendly and food was very delicious. The chicken sandwich was flavorful and the sauce of the hush puppies had just the right spice. If you have little people, the chicken nuggets are a hit. They were circles which really made eating them easy for our little person! read more

Wow. Just wow. Having heard a lot about this place I was anxious to give it a try. It was my turn to pick the brunch spot. We hadn't gone for a while because of COVID so were glad to be back in the swing of things. We had 5 people. I got their first to secure a table since they don't accept reservations. I go in and find out it's basically take and go. They do have seating but only a couple of small tables inside. Womp womp. We were a party of five. It was my lucky day as there was a party of 6 that was just getting up. Shwew. Crisis averted and I wasn't going to be the worst brunch planner ever. They do also have a little counter space and a shelf by the wall for people to eat. Weather permitting there is a big table outside. My friends finally arrived so I didn't have to deal with the glares from other people arriving. I and a friend of mine had the Joya's Toast-in-a-Box for 14 bucks. Buttered and Toasted Joya's Wonderous Bread, Bengali Omelet, Pork Roll, Pepperjack Cheese, Korean Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard. Seriously the best flavors. One of the best things I've eaten in a long time. One friend got the Kati Roll for 15 dollars. Bobby's Lamb Kebab, Egg, Pickled Red Onion, Joya's Apple Chutney, Maple Chaat Yogurt, Cilantro Crema, Jumbo Griddle Fried Roti. He graciously let us each taste as it was large! So good. The last person got the Joya's Breakfast Sandwich for 13 dollars. This is their Squishy Potato Pav, Bacon Two Ways, Cheesy Soft Scrambled Eggs, Joya's Special Sauce, Joya's Herb Chutney, Chives. He was a big fan. Basically I was the hero for the day. We all can't wait to go back and try other things. read more

We came here after visiting Agni and it was absolutely amazing!! We got two things to split (all vegetarian): Breakfast Sandwich (5/5): all the flavors of this sandwich were absolutely amazing. I wasn't sure if I was going to be full, but it was definitely incredibly filling. The tot browns really pulled everything together Kati Roll (5/5): also a 5/5. The paratha was so soft and flaky and the maple chaat was absolutely amazing. It was so good that I ordered a side for the breakfast sandwich. It's definitely busy and we went around 2pm. Line moves quickly, but finding a seat is a bit difficult. We ended up finding one (we got lucky!) So nice to see the head chef talking to customers and also cleaning up with his staff. Really nice vibe and great place for lunch!! read more

I came here on a Wednesday morning. I was surprised at how busy it was but the line moves quickly. I appreciated how there is a separate menu for different dietary restrictions (they can modify most menu items) and the cashier also asks if there are allergies they need to take into consideration. I ordered a vegetarian toast in a boat and a chai. The chai was lightly sweetened which I prefer. I wish it were a little hotter though. The vegetarian toast in the box was delicious. It was a little tricky to eat (definitely knife and fork). The portion was very filling and a little on the rich side but I found the sauces helped cut through the rich bread and the omelette. There are a few small tables inside and a couple outside. They also have a long bar that you could sit at. I would say if you had a large party to do take out. The staff is very friendly and prompt and there seemed to be lots of people doing takeout so I think they cater to that often. The food is definitely delicious. I just wish it were a bit more affordable. Together it was around $20 which is a little steep. read more

There are some pretty epic breakfast sandwiches in Columbus, and now we can add this one! There is so much flavor and texture going on here - I don't know how they do it!

The place is warm, colorful and just leaves ya in a better mood... read more

So glad we finally got a chance to try this place. I think the one complaint I might have is that the hours are pretty limited and they don't take phone orders. I'm not docking any stars for that though because it was super good! We got the tofu Manchurian Sandwich and the vegetarian Not Pad Thai. The sandwich was great. Thick, hearty, and saucy. The tofu was legit in terms of preparation which is sadly not something I can always say about tofu. Not Pad Thai is close enough that anyone who loves Pad Thai would love it too. Different enough to be interesting and even more delicious. Never had inari in Pad Thai before but it is a great idea. I got take out, so there wasn't much of an opportunity for service. But the staff I interacted with were great. I'm definitely looking forward to going back and trying more stuff! read more

Phenomenal food, phenomenal staff, phenomenal menu variety, phenomenal coffee/chai. They have 2 separate menus: the regular menu containing meat but also a vegetarian menu that is identical to the regular menu but just substituting out the meat for potato. The regular or the vegetarian option for any item are both fantastic. My favorite item is the Joya's Breakfast Sandwich. The sweet bun with the perfect amount of sauce spread under the top bun with the meat/potato patty, it all coalesces into fantastic flavor. A second fan favorite is the Egg Toast-in-a-box. It's a cool item which I'd recommend eating out of the actual box. It comes with peppers and although I am spice immune, some are spice averse so take heed when ordering! The Cheesy Double Crunch Tacos are also quite good. They're stacked tacos and have an underlying peanut taste because of a peanut matcha they use and for me, the peanut flavor always comes in at the end of the bite and complements all the flavors before! The Kati Roll is pretty good too, it can be a large item and it's also pretty filled as well as filling! Filled with lamb, egg omelette, a yogurt spread, all wrapped in a paratha. The Crispy Chicken Manchurian Sandwich is also fantastic. The glaze and sauce they add to the chicken, wonderful. The chicken is perfectly cooked, not too crispy, not too soft. It can be quite messy, but they thoughtfully give you wet wipes with the sandwich! Their coffee is really good too, as well as their chai, however my favorite is their nitro chai. It's a cold drink, so don't be surprised when you order a chai-item! But this is an absolutely necessity. It's a fantastic drink that is so flavorful and delicious. It tastes exactly what it sounds like, but just delicious. It is quite a small space, but there is plenty of bar seating inside and tables outside. But trust me, the space won't even bother you once you have the food. Enjoy! read more

Was so excited to visit Joya's for lunch today after hearing all the hype and excitement about this restaurant in Worthington. I have to say, maybe it was hyped up too much because we both left underwhelmed. It's a small space, and it was busy, but we were able to get a couple seats on the table that stretches along the wall. Not my favorite way to eat (and the wall definitely needed wiped down). There are several vegetarian and gluten free options on the small menu, but I was told when I ordered that meant eliminating things from the dishes that could affect the taste. So it's nice to have the option, but be warned. I ordered the crunch tacos, which came with black beans. For $17 the three small tacos seemed a bit overpriced, and they were good- just not great. It needed more punch. My friend ordered the chicken sandwich and agreed it was good, but just not enough to make her want to go back. And with no sides to go with it, it just seems like a big price. We both agree we probably wouldn't go back, it was good to experience but not enough to make me crave it again. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. read more

Loved this place - decided to finally give it a try! Came for brunch, ordered the toast in a box and smoked beef tacos. it's definitely known for the hands on eating. loved the flavor of all the food - the beef was soft and tender. super filling as well - they don't have too many options on their menu so doesn't feel overwhelming. food comes out fast as well - there isn't as much seating but easy to get a seat after you order your food or waiting for it to come out. we went on a sunday morning and it was pretty busy. only downside is that it closes by 2pm! read more
