The white tablecloth, and mood lighting made for a sophisticated atmosphere. Our server was very thoughtful and on top of his game. Before everyone arrived, he added another table to the setting, saying that this way we'd have more elbow room. And the food was absolutely amazing!! An authentic blending of Mediterranean dishes. All together, a pleasant experience that made us all feel treated!!

We got labneh (SO GOOD), hummus, a falafel platter, and a chicken shawarma platter. The chicken was amazing! As was the falafel (not dry at all). The garlic sauce was a little spicier and less flavorful than I'm used to, but I was glad to try it. The only negative was that the hummus had a bit of an odd flavor-- a little spoiled tasting?

The atmosphere had a relaxed elegance without feeling fancy, and after coming straight from a loud reception, the calm setting with gentle music was exactly what we needed. My colleague and I both ordered the chicken kebab dinner, and it was exceptional. The food was flavorful and tasty, the chicken was moist and deliciously seasoned, and the steamed vegetables were cooked perfectly without being mushy. We also enjoyed the Turkish tea after dinner, which was recommended to help with digestion. It was a strong black tea served in the cutest little glass cup with a handle, and we finished every drop. The staff was attentive, kind, and welcoming without being intrusive. Overall, it was a very relaxing and enjoyable dining experience, and I'd gladly return.

The gyro was okay, but I honestly didn't feel it was anything special, but wasn't bad. You get your beverage of choice from a cooler that the glass was so dirty you have to open the door to see what's in it clearly and really didn't look that clean. I went to the bathroom where there was a reddish plastic cup laying on the floor near the toilet and the walls looked like they dipped a yellow rag in paint and smeared on the wall. The room behind it near the read door was so packed with tools and stuff it was flowing out into the hallway. Just an overall uneasy feeling about the cleanliness. I won't go back.

Only thing is I wish they could make it gluten free. I got the Mira bowl in a kid size portion and had boiled eggs as an add on. Perfect portion! The bartender recommended the smaller size since I was getting waffles and I'm glad she made that suggestion. Lavender latte with oatmilk was light and delicate. Just what I was looking for. Nothing was too sweet and I enjoyed everything. The inside had a nice airy feel to it. They have a cute little kids corner filled with books and fun stuff for the little ones to stay busy while waiting on meals. They close at 3 so I recommend enjoying it for brunch/lunch!

Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte.

Lentils...so far the most decent Mediterranean/Lebanese food this area has to offer, but isn't what…read moreI expect. A friend of a friend recommended this place to me, and upon driving up, I was hoping it was a diamond in the rough/hole in the wall type place...but it's not. Ordered the fattoush with chicken, and water. The chicken was said to be shawarma. 1. Salad good, pita chips excellent, but missing lemon in dressing 2. Chicken decent, but needed more spices, and wasn't prepared/cooked the way I expect for shawarma 3. You are not saving money ordering water - they give you a bottle. Also, pricy! Their site reflects differently than what it was in person, and makes Lentils look far more awesome than it was. With smeared/dirty windows, decor that wasn't purposely mismatched - I almost didn't go in, and wanted to leave ASAP. I was also only 1 of 2 tables that dined in...would you want to dine in, based on the above? Overall, sadly, Lentils is the best Mediterranean thus far in the greater Cincinnati area, and it's OK at best. It's not good enough to fend off any Lebanese food cravings I may have.

We are in town visiting and we went there for a nice meat meal after several days of dairy on the road. There were 6 of us at the table with 2 children. If I lived in town I would not be going back. They had 1 waitress working the entire place. She was kind enough but all she did was make excuses. We sat down at 6:15 and we did not get our hummus appetizer, which apparently they ran out of soon after, until 7:15. When we arrived there was only 2 tables occupied so it was not bustling. I am not sure how or why it took so long to prepare Hummus but given the ingredients I could have scratch cooked our entire meals in a fraction of that time. Again, when we arrived there were 2 other tables of 2 and maybe 1-2 small orders picked up during out time there. During our visit they had several more groups come in, some served before us, some getting the constant refrain, "we are out of this." It seems like there was 1 chef in the kitchen preparing all the food on their own. It is also highly problematic that they had 2 small children sitting there for an hour with not even a little bread or anything. We had to push the waitress to get the hot dogs out so they would calm down. As for the food, most of it was OK. The ribeye was properly cooked. The braised short rib was tender with a little wine flavor. The kids hot dogs were hot dogs. The chicken schwarma was flavorful. The Israeli salad was what you would expect. The green beans were overcooked, unseasoned and tasted like nothing. The worst and most impressive thing was how they got the mashed potatoes to taste like they came from a powder out of a box. I don't often leave something completely uneaten but they were inedible. How you can serve a $50 steak with such artificial swill is beyond me. I get it, they are the only option. Fail!

Just posted a review about a regional chain that seems to be perfecting the "slow casual" concept…read more Meanwhile, Birmingham-based Taziki's has the much more common "fast casual" concept well figured out. (This native Southerner knows that Birmingham's got a bigger Middle Eastern community than you'd probably imagine.) There's no getting around it: Cincinnati has a serious shortage of relatively nutritious, reasonably priced, decent dining options. On those scores, Taziki's rings it up pretty good. The wife and I love Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, and Taziki does a nice job with a generic Americanized version of it. Fresh salads, nice thick lemony hummus, pretty okay grilled meats, solid pita sandwiches. Not only tasty, but mostly pretty healthy eating as well. If you're familiar with these cuisines, it's not nearly the best you've had (and the limited sides are quite disappointing) but it's not at all bad, either. Service when we do go (usually lunch on weekends) has always been very fast. The staff is efficient and pleasant. Atmosphere and music are kinda bland, but it's agreeable enough, and the dining area seems spic-and-span. And the prices are reasonable (and when you find the Clipp Magazine coupons, like a pre-inflationary-era steal).
