The fried rice sounds to simple.....it is not. The sheer amount of flavor developed in this dish is beautiful. The Manchurian chicken was good, but fell short in comparison. The tough part is the seating, much more comfortable as a spring/summer joint I'm sure with outdoor seating. We will be back read more

the veg kati roll was super decadent and delicious. loved the chutney and thinly sliced potatoes, and the paratha was so flavorful and crisp! also loved the chai, possibly the best iced chai i've ever had, which is high praise coming from a brown person that makes chai regularly. service was super friendly and helpful, and the vibe was super laidback and fun. loved the little details like hidden toys and funky labeling! will definitely be back for more with the family in tow. 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

Everything about this place is awesome, the food, the service, the vibe, all of it. Flavor of the food is amazing.

Finally checked this out for lunch. Went on a Friday, ordered to dine in and got seated at the bar within :10. Food was awesome, I had the Kati roll and my wife had the rice dish. Loved them both. The staff is really friendly. The space has a great feel, transplanted me out of Ohio which was an added bonus. Prices aren't cheap but are probably on par with trendy, non-chain places like this with creative and fresh food. Will definitely be a staple going forward. read more

Joya’s - Coffee and water station with some Tata Tea, Linca and Thumbs up cans. Iykyk - Cafes Near Me - Worthington, Ohio

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

I tried their Not Pad Thai and fried rice-both were absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor! 10 out of 10. Highly recommended!

Best place ever. When our friend group can't think of places to eat, Joya's is the default. In love with the nitro chai, pad Thai, and fried rice all Danny's way. 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

Have been wanting to try Jonas for a while and finally went late on a Saturday for lunch. As promised, it is very busy. Seating is very limited and everyone is in everyone else's way. We took our order to go. The scotch egg was our favorite. We also tried the breakfast sandwich and tacos. The food was good but overpriced. I enjoy chaat at various Indian establishments and the flavors were reminiscent. So overall good-- but for us the price and small space will keep us from being repeated customers. read more

Joya’s - Breakfast Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Worthington, Ohio

I've enjoyed the food and coffee here, cozy spot. I'm not sure what to make of this, but the first time I ordered the tacos, the staff brought me out this lovely sauce with a chutney. I didn't ask for it, it was brought to me. It was great to dip the tacos in. So I've asked for it since. No issues. The last time I was in was recently. It was the day after the election plus I had experienced a horrible tragedy in my family. I had tears and runny makeup. It was clear to my friend and others there that I was very sad. I asked for this sauce again. A man came out and was holding the sauce with an iron fist. And I mean, really holding it, and having a power struggle with me about why I wanted it. Finally, I just said, "can I just have it anyway?" And he finally handed it over but geesh. Read the room and be kind whenever you can! 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

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

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

Unplanned , my husband and I popped into Joyas for brunch today . Wow - delicious !!! I don't even like lamb but Chef Avishar does such an awesome job with lamb - the Kati roll was soooo good ! (We went to Agni too previously and I had a lamb meatball that was to die for ). We also had the breakfast sandwich Bobby style . And a side of the tots - the aioli sauce is so full of flavor and the tots were perhaps the best ever . So very good . Finding a place to sit could be hit or miss . There is very limited seating inside (mainly a counter type) and about 5-6 small tables outside . Even if you get it to go , just GO !!!! We'll be back to try everything else on the menu ! read more

My goal is to try every item on the menu. I'm 33% through it so far and everything has been phenomenal. You won't find food like this anywhere else, and all of it is amazing. Everyone should try this spot for a quick breakfast/lunch. They have fit a surprising amount of seating in the small space, but given the popularity, be prepared to take your food to-go. In case you miss it, they have regular water and sparkling water on tap for free in the back by the kitchen. For a fun coffee treat, I recommend the Cafe de Olla. 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. During our last visit, Chef Miguel greeted us in the back of the cafe and went out of his way giving us extra hot sauce (which we looooove). I can't wait to try all of their secret menu items. read more

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

This place is AMAZING! There's a line, but it moves quickly - clearly a very popular place. The Joya's latte and Rose Mocha were fantastic, one of the best latte's I've enjoyed in a while! The breakfast sandwich and kati roll were our favorites - the food is so flavorful here, the bread was excellent and omg the egg was so soft and fluffy. The toast in a box was good but felt slightly heavy with all the meats and flavor, definitely good to try and share! There was a server that was super attentive and checking if we wanted water, and checked on us frequently. Can't wait to come back! read more

Amazing food and ambiance! Even though this cute, inspired spot is small, if you get lucky, you can snag the window seat, littered with trinkets and books. I got the $13 breakfast sandwich, the cheapest menu item that isn't a pastry, and it was very good! The egg was extremely creamy and the sauce was addictive. I tried the vegetarian version with a big hash brown in the middle and highly recommend that version of the sandwich. It also has a little more kick than the original. The cashier was very nice and accommodating to my questions about a decaf drink, which ended up being delightful! Check out this place if you have a few extra dollars to spend and want a great sandwich and coffee. read more

Have you ever gone somewhere to eat and enjoyed it so much that you made plans to return asap? That was my experience going to Joya's cafe for the first time a couple weeks ago. I love breakfast/brunch food and came here by myself for breakfast to see if it really lived up to the hype on the Columbus subreddit. It did. The first time, I ordered the fried rice and a milk chai. I'm so glad the fried rice portion is as big as it is because it was plenty for two meals. I savored it, though. Those big hunks of bacon, the perfectly fried egg, the smokiness...all heavenly. I was very pleased with the chai, which I rarely order anywhere because it's usually too sweet. Theirs, however, has the perfect amount of sweetness--just a hint. The very next weekend I returned with my husband because I knew they'd like the food as much as I did. We split an order of the fried rice, each got a milk chai, and also ordered the Manchurian chicken sandwich. Let me tell you, when we each bit into our half of the sandwich we both knew that this was our new favorite brunch place. As far as food goes, it's a 5/5 for me. I only knocked off a star because the barstool seating is a challenge. Joya's is fairly small, so the bar-style seating that comprises the back half of the cafe does make a lot of sense. However, they are very smooth, and I found myself constantly working to not just slide right off of them. There is a foot rest on the bottom of each stool, but the most effective way that I found to stay seated without sliding off was to press my foot against the footrest on the stool next to me. If there was a footrest on the bar itself, that would have been a tremendous help. read more

Food is pretty good, but it is more like a takeout place rather than a restaurant. We didn't know that when we went this morning after a early flight back home, all we want is a relaxing brunch place, but it was very small place and crowded, not a lot of seating and way too much people. I think if you really want to enjoy the food, probably should just order and enjoy it at home. read more

Very interesting sandwich choices. I love that they are open for breakfast. There is good parking in the back of the strip. Keep this in mind if driving there for the first time. The store front is easily missed, and on one of those streets perpetually inundated with cars parked out in front. read more

Everything was fantastic from the service to the food! I've tried coming here before but the line is always too long. I guess since it's a holiday weekend we lucked out. Everything on the menu is influenced by Indian cuisine with a fusion twist. I had the vegetarian breakfast sandwich while my friend had the meat version. They look very similar by there is bacon in the meat version. They were giving samples of the chai which reminded me very much of the chai I've had in India. We sat outside because there is very little seating inside. read more

I was between 4 and 5 stars on this one, leaning 4 due to price and minor disappointment, but 5 due to my faith that other items were better than the kati roll that I ordered. Finally tried Joya's on a Wednesday morning, there was plenty of space and I had time to ask a million questions at the counter. Lovely little rose donut and brown butter rice crispy samples were waiting - always a nice touch. Folks at the counter were helpful and at ease. I settled on a kati roll and the house chai, enjoyed at the long counter at the back. Coming in at $16, this kati roll was filling, with a super flavorful lamb filling, but overall was very dry in the mouth. There was a sprig of cilantro and a slice or two of pickled onion, but it was otherwise a crumbly, fried bread experience. I work awfully hard for my money, and so spending nearly $30 (with tip) for this breakfast felt extremely steep. That being said, I think if I would have followed my heart to the fried chicken sandwich my second thoughts would be gone! read more

I have only been here during the farmer's markets, so the line has always been out the door for this place. I'm glad I waited the first time because the drinks have been fantastic throughout the menu. Today was the first day I tried the food, because the astronomical prices usually keep me away. I like to think it's due to premium ingredients, but who knows? I was starving and caved, and the food was delicious, but I don't know if I can justify the food prices. The drink prices are comparable with other coffee places. They are also very considerate of allergies or diet restrictions and ask about them at the register. Even though this place was super busy, all of the staff were super attentive and checked in on me multiple times, I felt very important. There is a water area for people dining and they use steel cups, which is comforting regarding cleanliness. This place will always be my go-to coffee in the area. 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

Probably the best eggs I've had in my life I'm not a huge fan of eggs, so I was really nervous about getting the breakfast sandwich. But it was the most popular item, so I went for it. And I'm so glad I did! This sandwich changed my perspective on eggs and I didn't even need to eat it with ketchup (for those who know me, it's a huge deal.) If I lived in Columbus area this would be my go-to brunch place. Joyas Milk Chai + Breakfast sandwich for about $20, and I have no complaints. I originally ordered a mini sandwich; but they were out and I'm so happy cause I devoured the regular size one. Can't say enough great things about it and this place. It's busssyyy. But they treat everyone with a smile and push through the rush with ease. It is a small space and fills up quickly. I was lucky to get a spot. But from the coffee bar to the slightly pink walls, everything was perfect. read more
