Shawarma Sandwich
Lauren W.

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.

Baklava
Maria F.

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.

Banana Pudding Cheesecake!!!!

Laila and the staff here at Lavash is truly god sent. The food is ALWAYS amazing and never a long wait time. I LOVE IT HERE

Their Lentil Soup is the jam
Gabriel G.

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 :)

Fatoush Salad, Shawarma
Kim N.

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!

Lavash is one of my favorite Mediterranean food places in Columbus. Their food is just amazing; it is always fresh and very flavourful. I really like their grape leaves and baba ganoush. The place is cozy, with plenty of parking in the back. The service is also really good.

Inside
Antora S.

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!.

Delicious Black Bean Hummus
Andy R.

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.

Mojadara with salad and pita
Tara S.

Such a wonderfully friendly staff and delicious food! Came here with a friend and all the seats were full until we realized they expanded and have another section. We found a seat and enjoyed our food. Staff even came by to check in and make sure everything was okay.

I usually get the chicken shawarma and fries. Lavash Cafe hasn't missed yet. They are consistent and dependable. Will order again.

The owner also checked with us to see how our food was. The baba ghanoush, hummus and bread were an awesome choice for starters! The baba ghanoush is the best we have ever had!

The rice was excellent and we loved the red cabbage, pickled turnips, red onion, pickle and tomato that came with the entrees! The water stations made it very convenient to get your own drinks and refills! Great photo ops in the restaurant!

All utensils and plates and water are serve-yourself near the door. At lunchtime on a warm Saturday in spring they had a steady trickle of guests coming in. The person who took our order thanked us for supporting them. Food was quick and very fresh. I had 1/2 tabbouleh salad and za'atar French fries. The tabbouleh is more heavy on the greens than the grain which was a refreshing change to me. It was dressed in a bright, fresh lemony dressing. More than I could eat in one sitting. The French fries are maybe dipped in batter and fried. I'm not sure. But they are super crispy on the outside and fluffy inside - delicious. The ambiance is casual with various TV screens showing different shows and Middle Eastern music playing on the speakers. The interior is simple but warm and inviting with minimal but fun decor. While the prices are a bit higher than I would have expected, I could see myself returning for dinner.

So it only seemed natural that I'd fall in love with Food Street, but I was worried that my expectations would exceed the reality. So instead of going in... I decided to order delivery through good ole Door Dash - expecting a sad, slightly cold, non crispy shadow what you'd get in person but let me tell yas.... this was not the case at all! Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich was phenomenal! It was wicked crispy, the size of my head (quick makes this a HUGE value... not that my head is that big, but order it to get an idea), bun was not soggy at all, and it did not disappoint. Chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, not chewy at all, and seasoned well. Coleslaw added a nice vinegar contrast (I wish there was much more coleslaw but it didn't stop me!), sauce was smokey and slightly spicy, and the bun was soft. Chicken Tikka Paratha Roll was also a hit! Great seasoning, chicken was incredibly well cooked - melt in your mouth style - with small bits of char - vegetables were fresh, and the roll itself had great chew and flavor w/out being greasy (at all) or saturated. Fries were bangers too. Ready to eat my way through the menu. If it's this good when ordered, can't image what'd it be in house.

The food was decent, especially the malai boti wrap and the garlic chicken wrap. The chicken…read moresandwich was greasy and underwhelming, and the gappa chaat, while big, lacked much flavor. The falooda was the worst - it was just ice cream, milk, and a sparse amount of basil seed. The price point, including the sneaky service charge, does not justify a return trip.

Drove through several lots with others prowling as well. Ended up finding street parking right in front of of the joint. Line was not out the door, which was delightful since it was only 4 degrees out, but my butt was just inside right up against the door. By the time I got to place my order, a spot opened at the counter to enjoy the meal. This place is as much of a coffee house as it is a restaurant. I saw 4 taps and was hoping for an IPA, but they were for coffee and teas. Got a Diet Coke instead. Had the Smashburger and the fried rice to take out. The burger was one of the most awesome burgers I have ever had. I don't know what they put in it, but it was just downright delicious. The fried rice was for my daughter's lunch tomorrow, but I took a few bites of it just for quality control sake, and it was very good as well. Unlike any fried rice you have ever had.
