    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Just got picked up from the airport and was starving so we decided to grab dinner here. This place was GREAT! Easy to pick your items and everything was delicious! I had a chicken shawarma bowl with humus and pita as the base. My family ordered similar dishes with varying toppings and everything tasted wonderful. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and everything went together so well. Highly recommend their spicy feta and falafel! The fries were also insanely good!

    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

Every time, they serve the most beautiful, FULL plates of food with some of the best-tasting Mediterranean dishes I've ever had. As a vegan, it can be tough to find restaurants that are truly accommodating, but Mazah makes it effortless. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes such great care of you, no matter your dietary restrictions. They are genuinely the kindest and most helpful staff I've ever experienced at any local restaurant in Columbus. Being family-run, dining here truly feels like you're part of their family. You can tell how much pride and care they put into ensuring every guest has an amazing experience. I truly couldn't recommend Mazah more to everyone--this place is an absolute gem!

During this time, the table next to us were receiving their appetizers. The waiter walked away not noticing us. By this time, our bread was gone and no wait staff had approached us to ask for drink order or food order. Another table next to us seated more customers. As the waiter came back to the first table to check on them, he then walked past us to wait on the new table. At least 15 minutes had passed since we walked in. We decided to approach the manager who was also waiting on tables. He assigned someone to us who was not the waiter on both sides of us. The waitress apologized that she was unaware of serving us and we began our requests. Though this situation was very uncomfortable for us, and was offered no compensation, it did end nicely. The food is delicious. What is most disturbing to us is this is our second visit to this restaurant and the same thing happened before. We had no wait staff come to us for our order! The exact same manager had to be flagged down and told we had no wait staff. He ended up taking our order. I have never seen anything like it.
