A friend stopped by Joya's to pick up some breakfast sandwiches for a quick lunch. I don't tend to eat breakfast foods often, but this was a delicious sandwich, with some bacon that seemed to be cooked differently from most other breakfast places. It was also super filling! I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area read more

We got sandwiches and Thai tea. The food was good but not that great when compare with price you pay. My Thai tea was very watery, I know what brand they use (Tra Mue) and usually it's my favorite, but this wasn't. Overall, it's good to come and try the food, it's different. But the price was too expensive. Overrated in my opinion read more

Stopped here because it's a DDD. Place was packed even early in the morning. Not very much seating at all and honestly the seats they do have are very uncomfortable. The food here is amazing. I had tacos and they were some of the most amazing tacos I've ever had. read more

Joya's is such a hidden gem in downtown Worthington. The food is incredible-- the cheesy double crunch tacos are delicious. The staff is always so helpful, personable and makes every visit enjoyable. The atmosphere is both exciting and cozy. The coffee is the best coffee. If you haven't tried it, try it. You won't regret it! read more

The food is a fusion of Latin and asian food. It is full of flavor. The staff did a great job explaining the dishes and cooking for us. The place is small, it just has 3 inside tables, but they have place to eat outside. read more

I was visiting with friends for the first time. I was very happy to see an entirely vegan/vegetarian and gluten free menu! There were many options and the food was just like street food in India. This is very hard to find at restaurants!! The set up is order and find a spot at a few tables or diner styled seating. The staff were all very friendly. Will be coming back and highly recommend they've done great!!! read more

The most incredible food and amazing people who work there! So kind, helpful, warm! I don't live in Ohio anymore and would come back for the people and food. The tea and food were some of the best I've had in a long time. Shoutout to Maya! And there were three other amazing people working today whose names I didn't get, but thank you. read more

I tried to come late morning on a weekday and I had no luck finding parallel parking nearby. The place looked busy. Tons of people sitting inside and outside. I gave up and went home. I tried again the next day, showing up 15 minutes after they opened that morning. Some Yelpers mentioned if you go during the day, it'll be hard to find a seat. Makes sense since there aren't other coffee shops nearby. There's not really any cafe options around here to hang out at. I was able to parallel park right in front! When I walked in, there was an older couple sitting and drinking their coffee, and a woman who looked to be waiting for her breakfast before heading to work. I tried the mini breakfast sandwich and the cafe de olla. The barista described the drink as something similar to an americano. It was sweetened with mocha. Not bad! I'm not usually an Americano person but I'd come back to try the drip coffee. As a note, they do have alternative milks. As I didn't see that listed on their menu or online. The sandwich was delicious! It had egg, candied bacon, and a sauce in it. The bread was dense but not heavy. Substantial even though it was the mini. It's a good size if you're not into a heavy breakfast. It kept me full for a couple hours. I'd come back to try other stuff from the menu! Prices are a bit elevated but it makes sense for the area. It's also Bengali. Not something you can find around here. Staff was nice! Friendly and really helpful to explain the menu. They do have a good amount of seating inside. They have a table at the front, bar seating, and more seating against the wall. Can't want to return! read more

Finally we got to try Joya's!!! We've been wanting to for a long time and we only have weekends to make it out that way. We lucked out!!!! Came this Sunday morning with no line!!! We ordered Kati Rolland breakfast sandwich to share with two Nitro chai. The chai transported me back to Kerala.... Both sandwiches were incredible. Seasoned to perfection. No additional hot sauce needed ( I am a notorious about hot sauce added to any dish and have to force myself to enjoy the dish as created) Not today tho. We definitely need to come back and try other dishes read more

Joya’s - Breakfast sandwich and Kati roll - Cafes Near Me - Worthington, Ohio

There are few places in Columbus that I have tried harder to finally get - the hours here are a bit wonky, but if you can make it work, it is well worth it. The Kati Roll was absolutely amazing - the crunchy exterior made for such a good contrast from the mushy interior. The flavor profile was so unique too - rarely do you get those kind of things (lamb kebab, egg, pickled onion, maple chaat yogurt, chutneys) for breakfast/lunch but alas I tried it and I would do it again 1000x over. It just WORKS. Tried my sister and cousins meals as well - the tacos and (not) pad thai, also super unique and delicious. The decor inside is undeniably creative and gives off a really authentic vibe to the place. Not a ton of room to sit - and typically the line is fairly long - but they file through it fast and make it well worth your time. GO GO GO!!! read more

Very tasty breakfast sandwich. It is expensive and I am not usually a morning eater so I opted for the mini. It had some nice exotic spices to throw a change up on the usually semi bland breakfast category! read more

Mmmmmm! I finally had time to try Joya's - owner Avishar's brainchild that he opened after his stint on Top Chef a few years ago. Met Yelp friends for a later breakfast, so there were seats inside (albeit, in general, there's one very small two-top table, and three or four bar seats, so space is a premium here), but the four front patio tables were occupied and had to wait about 10 minutes for one to open up; at any rate, no biggy. I went with their Breakfast Sandwich and it was very good! I did feel like it was a bit lacking on the price-to-quantity ratio, but now that I think about it, $13 is pretty fair considering the costs of products and labor nowadays. The flavors melded really well, no odd spicy pops, great cheesy eggs, definitely would get that sucker for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Also tried the Nitro Chai, and it was very good! Different taste than the customary pumpkin pie-esqueness of American chai, and I'm all for that. Happy tummy, happy tongue, happy mind! read more

I've only heard good things about Joya's and was excited to finally go! It's a nice area, nice cozy restaurant, and warm ambiance. There is limited seating and limited bar seating and they mostly do to-go orders. I'm sad that the hours are so limited and I can't go after work, but would have to take the day off or go on the weekend. There's street parking around the area and other shopping and dining spaces. The menu is short and simple, you really can't go wrong with any choice. I got the Kati roll, which is incredible, and so delicious. It's made well, has a unique and super flavorful sweet and tangy sauce and the lamb is so good. I also got the milk chai and that was good, I feel like it could have used a bit more spice. I tried the nitro chai and really like it, it's a bit sweetener and bolder in flavor. For the roll and a cup of chai, it's about $22+tip, which is a tad expensive but really delicious food. I want to try everything else because I've only heard good things, but I'll have to try to find time during their hours. Staff was nice and service was pretty quick and easy. They don't have a ton of seating, but we went really early and got a table but it quickly filled up to no seating room. I recommend this for breakfast, lunch, a quick bite, casual date, and a unique and flavorful food experience. It's unique, it's very good, and I know the chef and staff put a lot of care into their creations. read more

What a great addition to Old Worthington and Columbus food scene! Chef Avishar has done it again. I have been waiting to try this place for months and was lucky to find my way during my birthday weekend. It was a treat to say the least. Ambiance is cute cafe style. It was packed on Saturday at 12pm and we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. I tried the Kathi Roll was glove bomb in my mouth and it was large enough to share. This is the only place in Columbus that does it and does so much justice to the Kolkata street food, I have had back in India. It's packed with flavors that works harmoniously together. The Roti is crispy and flakey. The lamb kebabs inside was juicy and well seasoned. The mint chutney and pickled onion added so much flavor to the roll. The sauce has a sweetness and kick to it and you get the punchy pickled onions between bites. I also tried the drip coffee Joya's way which reminded of the South Indian filter coffee you get back home. Another of my must try drink is Joya's milk chai. read more

I finally got a chance to make my way to Joya's! I was interested to see how they'd make such a small space work, and they managed to make it cozy without feeling cramped. There's not a ton of space to stand at the counter is multiple people are waiting to order, so I'd recommend doing the classic anxious millennial move; look up their menu before going so you'll have a good idea of what they have and what you'd like. Even with my menu prep before going in, I still panicked and ordered the first thing on the menu. I ended up with breakfast sandwich and I'm glad I did! The bun and eggs are soft, the bacon adds some texture and saltiness, and the sauce here really stands out. Herby and just the right amount of spice. The staff was very nice and let my kid order just a side of toast and bacon, he's not a very adventurous eater so I'm thankful we found a place where we're both happy. I will most definitely be back to explore more of the menu read more

I've come here several times. There are a few things you can expect. They do not take orders over the phone. You have to come in to order carry out. Breakfast or brunch only. The compact space can feel very cramped most times. People waiting for orders or seats. 3 tables in front, bar and counter seating. It fills up fast so carry out is the best option. Even if you are lucky enough to grab a seat, it can get loud inside, especially towards end of week. If it's crowded, it'll take about 15 to 25 minutes to get your order. The Asian inspired food is very good and not your usual breakfast/brunch fare. They don't scrimp on quality or quanity; that's good because it's not cheap. I.e. Double burger, no sides, $16. If you don't mind coming to a cramped & noisy spot (most times), serving very good out of the ordinary breakfast/brunch fare....this place is for you. read more

The food here is phenomenal! I always have a hard time deciding! The place can get busy so be prepared to have a wait, especially on nice days! read more

There is a specific type of buzz surrounding Joya's that feels a lot like reverent awe. Now that I've dipped into this warm spot on a bright, frigid morning and tasted these flavors, I get it. This small High Street cafe may be a foodie Mecca. The menu is small and prices appear quite high. However, if you think of it as paying for flavor and quality, they are spot on. I had the vegetarian Cheesy double Crunch tacos at the server's recommendation. It was beyond bliss! I also had a Thai iced tea, which was superb. I wanted one of everything on the menu. I will be back. This Indian-Asian fusion artisanal cuisine thing is my jam. Joya's threw a party in my mouth and I want more! read more

In a quaint little shop in Westerville, lies an incredible brunch spot. It is primarily a carry out spot with a few tables outside but the food is incredible. They serve a decent chai but the star of the show based on the few things that I've tried is their fried rice! Their fried rice is so reminiscent of my grandma's cooking that I had to do a double take and make sure that my grandma isn't manning the wok. Seasoned with a complex spice profile and fried with sweet soy sauce, it packs an oomph in terms of flavour profile. Plus, they had a properly fried wok egg that is brown on the outside while still runny on the inside. Their chicken nuggets and bacon bits are ok though but this still makes for a very good bowl. The only thing is that it is on the pricier side with it being $17 a bowl for the fried rice. Would definitely be coming back to check out more of it's menu!!! read more

You know when something is so good you don't want to let the secret out? Well, I debated keeping this one to myself but here goes. The best breakfast sandwich and iced coffee I have ever had in Columbus. There...I said it. Perfection takes time. This is not a place to go if you are in a rush. Took about 25 minutes to order and receive a breakfast sandwich. The barista was not the friendliest, but her skills made up for it. They use Thunderkiss coffee and if you order it "Joya's way" they add sweet evaporated milk. I literally cannot wait to go back. Tip: Check the hours online before you go. They seem to be updated weekly. read more

1st thing for my birthday was to check out Chef Avishar's newest restaurant in Worthington. I have been looking forward to it for a while, and am happy to say it was delicious! Fried rice: they had both spicy and non-spicy options. I got the spicy one and I really liked that hot kick~ the fried chicken was well-seasoned, the rice texture was perfect, and the portion was big too. Definitely my top favorite dish here~ Breakfast sandwich: the egg was so fluffy and the sauce was very flavorful~ I got the regular size, but they also offer a mini size. Toast in a cup: It reminded me of a type of street food in China (jiān bǐng guǒ zi). There were a lot of flavors and textures going on~ it was a little messy to eat, but it made me happy~ Samosa: this was one of the dishes not on the menu, but on the "specials" counter. They had chicken or vegetable for filling. I got the vegetable one, and it was tasty~ Potato scotch egg: it was another special for the day. Instead of the typical meat around the egg, it was mashed potatoes. SO GOOD! Things seemed quite busy, and the food came out a little slow when I visited. But since they just newly opened, the team is still trying to get into the groove in figuring out service. Fully understandable and still worth the wait! Overally I appreciate Avishar and his team staying authentic to themselves in creating these dishes. I can't wait to go back to check out some other exciting dishes to share more of my experience read more

Really awesome staff and a cute place! I got the Bobby's breakfast sandwich. The egg was sooo good. I thought the flavor as a whole was pretty subtle but appreciated the fresh ingredients. It didn't taste spicy to me, so I would add some more hot sauce next time. The nitro chai was a bit too sweet for me, but it was delicious nonetheless!! Loved the silky/smooth texture. read more

Beyond the traditional American breakfast is this place that serves Bengali-American food with some fairly familiar dishes like fried rice and breakfast sandwiches, but with a twist. We tried the Joya's Milk Chai that is not too sweet, my favorite level of sweetness, but very soothing, as well as the Thai Tea which is fairly fragrant. We also shared the Joya's Breakfast Sandwich which has generous amounts of egg and lots of flavor from potato pav to their special sauce and creamy herb salsa. I wished we ordered more food but we had to save room for other spots around the greater Columbus area. read more

This breakfast sandwich is NEXT LEVEL! The egg was so fluffy and the sauce on it had just the right amount of spice. We came on a Saturday during the market, placed our order and gave them our number, and then walked around the market. It worked out perfectly. They texted us when it was ready. The sandwich was delicious. I could've had 10 more. I didn't rate it 5 stars only due to the price. $13 for a sandwich only is steep. The sandwich is also small. It would only feed two if you both weren't that hungry. Otherwise, amazing! read more

I am in the worthington area maybe once a month and every time I'm there I stop by Joya to get the Katy roll. It's a flavor bomb!! My husband likes the breakfast sandwich a lot, but he also agreed that the Katy roll is next level. It does contain lamb, which I don't find to be gamey, but if that's a concern then it might not be for you. Joya is a pretty small cafe and honestly every time I'm there, which usually is on a weekday, no matter what time it's always busy. We've never successfully called for a to-go order as they're always too busy in the store to pick up. So we normally go to Joya to order then walk around the area! It only takes fifteen minutes or so, so the wait is not bad at all. It is also street parking so keep that in mind! But food is 11/10!!! read more

An absolute must visit for Breakfast / Lunch in Columbus. It is a Bengali Fusian restaurant with unique and delicious food. I have eaten here over several dozen times and it never dissapoints. My absolute favorites / things I kindly bully my friends into trying are: MAINS: - The Breakfast Sandwich x Bobby's Style *pictured* - - - - - (Bobby's style makes it a little more spicy and flavorful!) - Crispy Chicken Manchurian Sandiwch *pictured* - - - - - (sweet and spicy with homemade pickles and slaw, this is my default for days I don't know what to order) - Joya's Double Deluxe - - - - - (randomly the best burger I have had in Columbus. it's like a smash burger with 2 patties and amazing flavorful additions) - Cheesy Double Crunch Tacos with Smoked Braised Beef *pictured* - - - - - (THESE ARE IT SIS. I would highly recommend these if you're a taco lover. However, I will say I prefer to eat these in the restaurant as opposed to take out, they are juicy and crispy and best eaten immediately after being made) SIDES / EXTRAS: - Nitro Chai Cold Brew - - - - - (this will change you're life) - Veggie Samosas - - - - - (best samosa I have ever had, it's not a traditional version but that's the beauty of it) - Hash Puppies - - - - - (hash browns x hush puppie combination. it's heavenly) AMBIANCE: Cute tiny, generally crowded restaurant. It's charming and adorable. They have 3 kinds of water on tap (sparkling, chilled, and ambient) that are always fun to pour yourself. If it's busy or you're placing a to-go order, you can put your order in and leave. then just come back and pick it up when they text you that it's ready. P.S. : everything you get here will be good. You can't go wrong. I prefer to go/order before 1pm because I have noticed the food is fresher earlier in the morning (obviously). I also prefer to eat in because I always believe food is better eaten when it is fresh out of the kitchen - but many of their food options do travel well. read more

Chef Avishar did it again. Joya's' is my absolute favorite brunch in the Columbus area. Get the fried rice in Danny's way and pair it with an iced latte. Period. Good portion as well for the price. I just wish they can have more seating so I can bring all of my friends here lol. The kitchen staff are the friendliest people ever.

I loved all of the food we ordered! If you haven't been - definitely go family style so you can enjoy the different items. Everything came out quickly and the person taking our order shared great recommendations. So much flavor and the seating by the window was perfect. Very minor complaints: the Vietnamese coffee wasn't the punch of espresso and condensed milk I was hoping for and tables were slightly close together. It's absolutely fine if you're prepared for being a little close or grabbing to go! read more
