    Lamb Fahsa - $54.99 with the Tray for 2
    Dorothy X.

    My brother and I stopped in for dinner on a weekday. We ordered the Tray for 2 and my brother ordered a Yemeni Tea. The Tray for 2 comes with one order of Lamb Fahsa, Lamb Haneeth, and Chicken Haneeth. My brother received a piping cup of sweet, spiced tea. It was delicious and perfect for the weather! The Lamb Fahsa came out first, steaming and bubbling in a clay pot, with Tandoor bread. A huge platter of rice, chicken, lamb, and potatoes, topped with cilantro and red onion came out next. We couldn't believe how huge the portion was! We still had at least three servings of food left to take home by the time we were full. Despite how full we were, we were curious to order a dessert. We went with the Malaki, which was warm, not too sweet, and amazing! We'd never had a dessert like that before. The dessert could've easily served four people, so we had leftovers of that as well. The restaurant was clean and inviting, and the service was prompt and friendly. We loved it and can't wait to go back!

    This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Its a bit further out from city center (like 15 minutes) and in a seemingly less populated area but its definitely worth the drive. The restaurant is nicely decorated and feels very homey but spacious. Service has always been super nice and patient. They also serve a free lamb broth as an appetizer which is always delicious. I gravitate towards the lamb hummus and the lamb fahsa. The hummus is extremely smooth and creamy with tender chunks of flavorful lamb. The fahsa is also very flavorful and comes boiling in a stone pot. Both go so well with the bread provided and it makes for such a delicious meal all around.

    The name will bore you to tears, but that's the only thing iffy about this restaurant. Inside, I was the only non-Arab eating dinner. No matter -- I was treated like a dear guest. You'll be served a little soup to start as soon as you're seated. Our waiter was happy to give us recommendations from the menu. We did the lamb hummus and the chicken zorbian and made sure to save room for dessert. More to come on that later! We didn't want hummus at first since it's easy to make at home, but the waiter recommended the lamb one and it didn't disappoint. The hummus is creamy and perfect, but the lamb steals the show. Well-seasoned, moist, and begging to be wrapped up by your fresh bread. Chicken zorbian reminded me a lot of Indian biryani, but not quite as dry. Quite good! And yet it's dessert that stole the show. Massoob! MASSOOB! Stunning. One of those dishes that makes me want to go home and cook it myself. "Whole wheat bread, honey, mashed bananas, cream" -- basically how they have it on the menu. No. Fire your writer. Cross that out. "Dessert delivered directly from heaven" -- that's what it needs to say. I'm not a sweets guy; I rarely order dessert. I couldn't stop thinking about the massoob for a few days. It's a delicious blend of cream and honey. I will come back and get it. I will also make it at home. It's that good.

    Lamb, lemon mint drink, fresh hummus, and fresh bread Yum!

    Delicious! Lamb bone broth, hummus, fresh bread! Lemon mint drink, and Lamb! What more could you want??

    Lamb hummus

    The lamb hummus is a must. So much flavor and hummus has a perfectly smooth texture. One of my favorite dishes was the lamb fahsah. It came out bubbling hot, lamb was so tender and delicious. The portions of all our entrees were very generous and could be shared easily. I was pleased with how clean the restaurant was and the service and kindness of the staff was some of the best we've ever had. Can't wait to return.

    Never had Yameni food. What a delightful surprise. Had the tandoori style chicken and it was well cooked, moist and flavorful. My partner had a lamb dish that was as delicious as the chicken dish. The service was great and we were told of other things to try. Highly recommend.

    My father took my wife and I here after a day at the Columbus Zoo and we were very impressed. The area is full of ethnic restaurants and markets and this is a great choice. We had the lamb with hummus as an appetizer and 3 different lamb dishes for our entrees. My wife and I shared two different types of teas which we loved and one of them reminded me of the Bedouin tea I had in Israel. The place is halal and does not serve alcohol but they have a great mango and lemon lime drink that we enjoyed towards the end of our meal. They also gave us complimentary Marag Soup to start which was delicious. Our server was very friendly and the seating was cozy.

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.

The food is made fresh and everything comes out hot. The wait isn't that long. In the meantime there are 5 TVs on. It's a very casual place and they have been opened for two years now. They seem to have a steady flow of customers. I would certainly recommend checking Habibi Grill for some authentic Lebanese food. Keep up the good work!

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 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.

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.
