I have been going here for many years and it's incredible every single time. The flavors, seasoning, food quality, and service are 11/10. I love getting a chicken shawarma entree and having enough leftover food for several meals. And the employees are all incredibly kind and accommodating. read more

We have eaten Take Out here twice in the last 3 weeks. The food was spectacular! I had heard about Lavash from our pharmacist at Kroger who is Palestinian. I asked her where I go could get good Palestinian food and she suggested trying Lavash. I was expecting a small family restaurant, but Lavash is a large restaurant that apparently does a lot of catering also. My wife and I love Middle Eastern food and I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. The Friday Special, Lamb Mencef was delicious and could easily feed a family of four, with several sides also. Basically it is large pieces of Lamb and lots of yellow rice, and a wonderful sauce, so you need to order (or make) side dishes too. We both are in our late 70's and no longer have large appetites, so this dish lasted through several meals. We both are from the Midwest and lamb is rarely on menus here in America, and the lamb on this dish is about as good as it gets. Very mild and not dried out. Thanks for the recommendation, Summer! read more

Another shrimp kabob; incredibly delicious. And ask for the Lavash hot sauce; not screaming hot heat but tasteful heat. The associates here are ALL friendly and helpful. Don't forget desserts. A walnut baklava and a banana cheesecake to go topped of a magnificent meal. I love this place!! read more

Locals love this place, so had to try it out for myself! Everything tasted extremely fresh, and cooked to perfection! One comment I would make is that I wish more spices were used and packed a bigger punch. Maybe my taste buds this day were feeling a bit off, as I know that everyone I have talked to always gushes about how much they enjoy going here. read more

Lavash Cafe - Beef kabob entree - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Another wonderful meal at Lavash! We ordered the meal for 2 which came with hummus, a few dips, pita and salad to start. The salad was sneaky delicious. Perfect vegetable cuts, tons of acid and bites of crunchy pita. Our main entree was a mixed plate of lamb, kafta, steak and chicken with piled high rice. The meat was so tender and flavorful. It also came with fries. We got a pistachio baklava for dessert. I also got a hot mint tea, which was delicious. Lots of leftovers and a delicious meal! read more

One of those places that we wonder why we don't go more often every time we're there. The desserts are amazing - little cakes, cheesecakes, Palestinian specialties, etc. and of course the pre-dessert food is excellent, too. The kebabs are always moist and have just the perfect amount of char, and the gyro and shawarma are flavorful all the way through. The pita is always a highlight - fluffy, warm, and if you're dining in you'll usually be offered seconds if you polish off the first basket. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The dining room is a bit tight for how busy they are and can get very loud at peak times - if the weather is good there is a decent sized patio, but it would be nice to have a bit larger indoor space. read more

Ordered lunch takeout from here, and it was ready when I came to pick it up. Service is very friendly here. Cute modern spot with plenty of seating inside. I ordered a beef & lamb shawarma lavash sandwich. Very flavorful with tons of seasonings and spices!! Lavash had great texture. Very easy sandwich to eat while on the go and was not messy at all. read more

Service was friendly and efficient and the restaurant was clean but my food was just ho-hum. I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was meat wrapped in Lavash bread with a tiny bit of lettuce on it and sauce on the side. The wrap was supposed to have tomatoes and that would have helped; onions would have helped, too. The sauce was flavorful but not enough to make a tasty sandwich. There were pickled vegetables on the side which I tasted but they were just salty and dry like the sandwich. read more

Absolute gem. First time in Cbus for the weekend for a friend's wedding and stopped by here. The food & customer service was amazing! Big portions and made to order quickly. We got the hummus (which was plated so delicately) and chicken shawarma plus baklava. Everything was delicious and the orders for takeout were constant! Another must try. read more

Absolutely on of my favorite spots in Columbus :) The food, the vibe, the service are all top notch, all of the time. I like to change up what I eat here, but it always includes the Lentil soup and one of their delicious pastries. The Pistachio Baklava is a personal favorite! If you like spicy, then you MUST ask for some hot sauce. You don't know if it's available if you don't ask, and it is SO tasty and goes with absolutely everything on the menu! Also important to note that if you like having hummus in your fridge, it's worth getting a Large Hummus from here instead of the grocery. Price is comparable and the quality is so much better! Both kinds of hummus are delicious, and they come with a generous bag of pita Cannot recommend this place enough :) read more

I ordered UberEats from here while traveling for work. The food was delicious and a great portion size. My only complaint was the delivery person was on her phone, sitting in her car in my hotel's parking lot, with my food and I had to wait extra long for her to get out of her car so I could pick up my order from her; but this was not the restaurant's fault. I ordered the beef/lamb shawarma wrap in lavash bread and the fatoush salad. The salad was a big portion and came with crispy pita chips and soft pita bread. I was able to save the leftover salad to use for a meal the following day. The dressing for the salad was basic olive oil-based dressing, but it all tasted fresh! I would recommend this place! read more

Everything here is great!! From food, to customer service, everything is just fantastic!! We have been to this place few times, and not once did anything in the place disappoint. We ordered various dishes, from spicy chicken Kefta platter, beef kabob skewers, hummus, baba Ghanoush, baklava, Turkish coffee, and etc. Every single dish was absolutely delicious. Few times we went, a gentleman came around (I think he may be the owner) and spoke to us to make sure we were ok and if we liked the food, and also offered by daughter cupcakes. And it wasn't just that gentleman, someone always came around to check up on us to see if we needed anything else. Top notch customer service, delicious food, clean place, plenty of space to sit indoor, with sitting option on the side of the restaurants.... What else can you ask for. Highly recommend!. read more

I've not eaten at the Lavash Cafe but have enjoyed takeout from the cafe. This is a Mediterranean inspired restaurant with a menu that includes many vegetarian options. The menu includes a nice variety of salads and sandwiches as well as some entrees. I have not tried any of the entrees but have enjoyed several of their sandwiches. I have never been disappointed with any of the sandwiches I've ordered from the Lavash Cafe. read more

You must must must order the BLACK BEAN HUMMUS, no matter what you think you like. It is superb. How deeply you scoop into the red powder center determines the level of warmth. Every person in your party will hold you in higher esteem if you make it so. My go to is the garlic chicken Kefta in a fresh pits wrap. Think gyro, but full of succulent, juicy, richly seasoned ground chicken balanced with fresh, crunchy greens with some hummus...add mellowing tahini to taste. My octogenarian father who thought of goulash as exotic is a super fan of this place. It is frequently our last stop before flying out of CMH. read more

Just updating, because the customer service is top notch. The food quality is great and the quantity is plenty as well. I have been here multiple times now, mostly for pickup. I just wanted to highlight that they are always busy, but even so, they take their time to recognize their shortcomings if any and make it up to the customer. This kind of service builds trust and a creates lifelong customers and I appreciate it! read more

Solid Mediterranean food at Lavash Café. Surprisingly convenient parking, more casual vibe on the inside of the restaurant. Seems like it's more fast casual than a sit down Mediterranean restaurant, which I prefer. I placed an order online and picked it up. The online ordering and pick up process was easy. I ordered mousakka, veggie kebab, black bean hummus, and tzatziki. All were tasty, but I would consider them standard fare Mediterranean - it's solid but not the best spices and flavors Ive ever had. Order pick up bonus: they have paper warming bags for pita bread and when you pick up a to go order, the pita stays warm. Restaurant seemed clean, nothing stood out with the service. read more

Great comfort food! Genuine taste, quality ingredients and wonderful service! I ordered the spicy black bean hummus for my appetizer and it tasted great. Just the right amount of kick to it. The falafel sandwich in a pita was delicious too. read more

Wish there were more than 5 stars to give to Lavash! Service - second to none Hygiene - excellent Quality - great Flavor - outstanding! Ordered a large meal to go, with a little bit of everything. Everything was perfect by the time we made it home. Food was packaged very well, maintaining the right temperature, all yielding a great family meal. Thank you Lavash! read more

The taste, the freshness, the hospitality ... amazing all around. a welcoming atmosphere. Every visit to Lavash Cafe has been consistently excellent. I always bring a big group and order the large platter with extra sides of hummus, baba ganoush, fries for the kiddos and it never disappoints. The portions are generous, everything tastes incredibly fresh, and the variety lets everyone try something different. The staff is welcoming and makes the whole experience even better. One of my favorite spots for authentic Middle Eastern food! read more

Simple & delish! Great service, easy to find something on menu & meal met expectations.

A few large orders of Hummus, Pita Bread, sides of gyro meat and chicken shawarma. Always great for sharing with friends and family on a nice patio evening. We have been ordering this combo for years and never have any complaints and leftovers are great the next day or two. Add some baclava for dessert option and stuffed grape leaves for different type of appetizer for people to try. Enjoy! read more

This is my first time trying Lavash Cafe. The service was incredibly fast 10/10. I really enjoyed the outdoor seating in the summer. As for the food I'd give it a 6/10. I ordered the chicken shawarma. Pros: Good hummus with a great portion for a small order. The side salad delicious. The yellow rice with the shawarma was tasty. Cons: The chicken shawarma was not very good. I'd chalk it up to a bad night. It was extremely dry and lacking in flavor. The toum/garlic sauce was the saving grace. I would try lavash again but I'd try a different dish. read more

My brothers recommended this spot to me, so I decided to check it out. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by a lovely lady named Carmella, who was working at the register. She was incredibly patient with us, and when I mentioned it was my first time there, she kindly offered me a free sample of the walnut and pistachio baklava, along with a piece of falafel - it was delicious! I would definitely come back here to actually try a full meal! read more

Their gyros, fattoush salad and desserts are always amazing! We ordered pickup and the staff was very friendly.

The food is delicious. I love the grape leaves and falafel. Any leftovers (if I have any!) Are equally wonderful... a number of my friends also enjoy Lavash. I do warn them of the business' politics, though. It's a pity Lavash has provided support to some unsavory organizations in the past. Due to their support in corecive organizations that shame people into activities such as door to door canvassing and telephone sales, I limit my time here to once a year. I wish Lavash chose to invest their resources into more worthy efforts. read more

I had an excellent service experience. Allie was incredibly helpful in selecting the perfect meal for six people. The food was delicious, and everyone enjoyed it. They are all looking forward to returning, and this place has definitely become my favorite spot in the neighborhood. I highly recommend trying it out; you won't be disappointed! read more

I kept hearing great things about this place and they were right! My husband even said it was the best Mediterranean food he's ever had! The lamb was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. My only complain was that the side salad only had one grape tomato, one cucumber slice, and the rest was just lettuce. For the seating, we thought it was small but turns out they had additional seating in the back (past the ordering counter). read more

Not sure why I waited so long to come here. I've been hearing about it for years, rave reviews. It's a little out of my way, but I could've made a better effort. It is well worth a visit. It's fast casual Mediterranean, but the experience is a little more upscale than that. The food is fancier, the service is a little better. I got a daily special, spicy Tunisian chicken stew. It's not spicy. It is seasoned, and there's a tiny bit of heat. Of course I like heat, so it might be a little more spicy for some people. Very heavily seasoned, tasty broth, with big chunks of tender chicken, plus tomatoes, carrots, olives etc. Came with perfect rice, some pickled veggies, a very good green salad, and pita. It seemed a little expensive until I ate it, and was absolutely stuffed when I was done. Excellent quality, plenty of quantity. Plus I got a tiny piece of pistachio baklava, which was also excellent. Service was good. The place is not huge, but I found a table at noon on a weekday. There's a little bit parking out front and a huge lot out back. I will gladly come again. read more
