    Shawarma bowl
    Cheryl B.

    I'm not sure what part of the Mediterranean this food represents, but it's great. I ordered the shawarma bowl, and Moroccan beef cigars. My first bite of food was the Moroccan cigar. I was driving my car and I picked it up to take a bite. It was hot and fresh. I quickly took a second bite and realized that this little meat cigar was delicious. I finally made it home and sat down at a table to dig into the bowl . The flavors, the crispness of the meat ends. Loved it! The hummus is smooth and tasty. I cut my pita into halves and quickly stuffed it with some of the toppings from the bowl. I fell in love at the first bite. That pita was so fresh, and when combined with the hummus, meat, lettuce, garlic, aïoli, and their hot sauce, a delicious bite. Several people in front of me ordered the brisket fries and they looked delicious. I will definitely go back and try them as well as several other items from the menu. Saba is located on the south side of the East market near Franklin park. I have never had a problem getting a spot in the free parking lot but in street parking is also available. The staff were friendly but seemed overwhelmed during the lunch rush.

    Chicken Schwarma(tastes like the real deal), hummus, salads and toppings. Delicious.

    We loved eating here at the East Market. Eat at Saba soon! It is so good. The flavors are authentic. We have traveled to the Middle East multiple times and so we have some knowledge of what we speak. We ordered the falofil bowl and a chicken scwarma bowl. It was delicious.

    Their shawarma and steak sandwiches are fantastic. Very generous portions. Wish they'd open a branch in the 5 towns in New York.

    I stopped at Lavash Cafe while my mom was at a doctor's appointment at OSU because I was craving…read moreGreek or Mediterranean food, and I'm glad I chose this place! They had plenty of options, and since I had been wanting lamb for a while, I ordered the lamb kebab entrée. It came with pita, rice, a side salad, and roasted vegetables. Mine only had onions and peppers, but everything tasted really good. Their house-made hot sauce was absolutely delicious! Before leaving, I ordered food for my mother and grabbed a few desserts, including banana cream cheesecake and pistachio cream cake. They accidentally gave me a chocolate dessert instead of the banana cream, but it was okay. Everyone was pleasant, helpful, and informative, which is something I really value at a restaurant. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside, plus a more private area toward the back where I sat because I had homework to complete. Overall, I enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. I will definitely be coming back!

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!

Menu is unlike anything I've tried before and WOW is it good. Mr tried the falafel maakeesh and I tried the zaatar with vegetables and both were totally different but delicious. The falafel manakeesh did have pickles which I loved but Mr doesn't like so maybe ask for no pickles next time. The zaatar with veggies had zaatar spices baked I to the warm, freshly baked dough and had black olives, green pepper, greens, and tomatoes -- strong, gorgeous flavors. The dough is unmatched. Pillowy with perfect chew and warm right out of the oven. Can't wait to try the big bagel-like sandwiches and the chocolate manakeesh next time!

They were both very good but I have a feeling they would have been much better in person. The halal salami tasted more like mortadella or a good bologna than salami, but I mean that in a good way. It was quite tasty. At first I thought the arugula that was on top should have been dressed w/ a little olive oil at least, but the more I ate of it, the more I didn't mind it. It wasn't your average store arugula & it did give a nice contrast to the fatty meat & creamy Labne. The Ishta w/ Honey arrived a bit melted & the honey had ran off a bit as well. I probably wouldn't order it to go again but it was good & not too sweet. I look forward to trying a few more items from there in person.

    Cafe Istanbul used to be in our regular dining out rotation, but somehow it slipped aside. However,…read morethe location at Easton worked for us on a recent Saturday and were we ever glad it did! We went for lunch and the cool, welcoming interior on a hot summer day set the stage for a delicious meal. We started with the combination appetizer and their wonderful bread. Every item on the plate looked as good as it tasted. I particularly loved the cold eggplant and tomato dish. I had the blackened tilapia with rice and salad. Delicious! I would certainly order this again. My fellow diners had the shrimp and the lamb shank, a weekend special. I tasted both and loved both! I took half of my meal home because the appetizer was so substantial and my tilapia was a very generous serving. The wait staff were warm and friendly, but not intrusive, making Cafe Istanbul a very comfortable place. So glad we circled back to an old favorite! Menu last weekend,

We ordered the calamari appetizer and for main courses we got the Sultan's Favorite (amazing!) and the Mixed Grill Kebab. Food takes a while to come out because it's made to order. Portions are very generous. Service is great. Prices are quite reasonable. Parking available right in front.
