    Greek chicken Salad Bowl
    Alycia H.

    Tasty salad, delivered with uber eats. I love the Kalamata olives and harissa! I liked the house made dressing too. I normally get the rice bowl but I'm trying to ease off the carbs so here we are!

    Pros: Relatively easy to find next to car wash Parking available Ample dining area if you want to eat there Can order ahead online Cons: hummus lacked flavor pita was cold fries were mushy gyro pita was ok - have had better at other Mediterranean places even though I ordered ahead, my food was cold when I picked up Pro tip: It will take some effort to navigate to this restaurant, so use your GPS and have patience

    It's nice to find a Mediterranean place in the Blacklick area. There was ample parking available on the side of the building which also housed a Starbucks, a T-Mobile, and a nail spa. My husband ordered a bowl with fries as the base and spicy Greek meat protein. He said it was flavorful and he finished his whole meal. I had the Greek fries and they were delicious and plentiful.

    I flew into CMH from Orlando and was looking for a Mediterranean place near the airport and on my way south of the city. Easy to order from menu and the manager was very helpful answering questions. Chipotle type setup for med food. Love the concept! I ordered the Mezze Platter (3 appetizers). My 3 choices were falafels, grape leaves and baba ganoush. You could see most of the food from the counter and everything looked very fresh. The presentation was A+ for a faster food type restaurant with pinches of herbs and spices applied, along with a drizzle over the grape leaves. The restaurant is very clean and orderly. The service was great and friendly. I will definitely be back the next time I go through Columbus.

    Mediterranean version of Chipotle -- count me in! A little bit outside the city limits but if you find yourself in the Blacklick/Reynoldsburg area, give it a try. I got a bowl with rice as the base, gyro meat for protein, and a variety of toppings. Finished off with spicy feta and medium house sauce, with tzatziki on the side to spread at my leisure. Although the proteins are kept in a heated tin, they do throw your portion on the grill briefly to heat it up even more before adding it to your entree which was a nice touch. The bowl was pretty good but does have some very intense flavors, led by the cinnamon rice. Next time, I would leave out the banana peppers as the acidity from these didn't mesh well with the rest of the ingredients. The staff was very friendly and the inside was clean and well maintained. 4 stars in my book!

    Nice small Mediterranean restaurant. It's like a Mediterranean Chipotle. The food is so delicious and fresh! My husband and I ordered Gyros ($8.00) and wow, sooooo good! Our son ordered fries and Greek Chicken ($9.00), it was good too. Parking is a little crazy, but it is worth going there! We felt the prices were good and the freshness and quality of the food were great! Definitely recommend this place!

    I've been going here for years! I've seen the changes throughout the years. I used to go more often when I worked right by it. But I'm still a regular. Either I pick it up or my husband does. It's like a Mediterranean style Chipotle. You choose your base, protein, & toppings. Salad, fries, rice, or pita bread. Chicken, lamb, falafel, or shawarma chicken. The main dessert they sell is baklava. You can get pita on the side & they'll slice it for you which can be a good addition to your bowl. You can order fries on the side. I like their shawarma & medium dressing. The flavors of the food combinations are so good, which is why I always come back. Shawarma has curry spices in it. My friends from out of town crave this place & they wish they had one where they live. It's always clean. Service is decent. By the way, they have an app. You scan the bar code every time you go & your 13th bowl is free. Then it starts over. I used to have trouble with it in the past especially when it was time for the free bowl & it was hard to prove. I stopped using it.

    Located off of E. Broad Street, the traffic here can be pretty busy! There is a parking lot with plenty of parking. If you have not tried Sababa yet, you NEED to go. Think of it was a mediterranean Chipotle. You walk in and the menu is at the top so you can choose your base, meats, and toppings. I chose the shawarma chicken with the lentils and I believe he said a cinnamon rice. SOOO good! The chicken was perfectly seasoned. I'm glad I took his advice and tried both rices. I chose absolutely all the toppings possible and I got the medium house sauce. Let me tell you that you will be licking the sauce off every corner possible. Their house made sauce really brings all of the flavors together. I also got a small side of fries and it's a pretty good portion. The employees were extremely nice and helpful. They walked me through every step and was patient with me as I am in awe of all the options. Go try it now!

    This place is like chipotle style.  A good restaurant with good food. If this place was closer to me then I would have gone frequently. The place was clean and had friendly staffs. I ordered rice bowl with cinnamon rice with chicken Shawarma with all the topping. I ended up ordering hummus and baba ghanoush. The meat was cooked front me and all the other items were very fresh. I liked the baba ghanous better then the hummus. The hummus I felt like that to much Tahini sauce in it. The quality and quantity of the food is definitely worth visiting the 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!

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,
