Reviews of Lavash Cafe
Brent Johnson
Reasonable prices, and phenomenal authentic middle eastern food. Went for lunch and ordered the humus which was perfectly creamy / flavorful. I ordered the lamb masoaka special, and the SO got a kabob. Our friend got the chicken shawarma. Rice was surprisingly good. The food is ON POINT in its authenticity. Definitely worth a stop.
4.8/5 stars

Stopped in to give the hummus a try as it was recommended and picked up a vegetarian platter. Was not let down by selections. The hummus was good as expected and the platter was filling and flavorful. Good customer service and respectable prices.
Sahar Mick
Very good food, great portions for the price! We got the combo for two which is 50$. You get a ton of food and it’s super yummy! Staff is very friendly and nice too!! Definitely coming back!
Alwiyah Shariff
They never miss! The food is always fresh and delicious. Great for big groups, and carry out. Also, really appreciate the awesome staff and the care they put in their work.
Azita Saed
Love everything about this place. It’s our second time and each part was so delicious. I feel nourished! Very wholesome, flavorful meal, and excellent service.
Keriann Fanelli
I LOVE THIS PLACE! 100/10 recommend. We got the combo for 2 with a shrimp skewer and every bite got better and better. The workers are delightful, quick, and provide great quality service. They were helpful in recommending items and even though I was full to brim…. I had to leave with some desserts. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing 10/10 place, I dropped by when I was spending the weekend in Columbus and was craving shawarma, I was very presently surprised with quality of the food, the shawarma tasted great and the fries were very good.
The staff were very friendly, the owner came by our table and he gave us some free hummus to try which was very good.
I would highly recommend trying this place out.
Maxx Payne (محمد علوي)

M6 favorite dish is the lamp chap......plz check them out they are truly authentic restaurant in the heart of Ohio.........
Rakesh Kumar
I went for lunch with family. Great and relaxed service. Had Lamb kabob with rice and vegetarian combo. Vegetarian combo is not very heavy. Only thing is very limited choice for kids.
S I
Amazing food!!! We got a room in the back of the restaurant!! Food was excellent as always and so is the service
Khaled Abdelrahman
The food here was wonderful and the portion sizes are very good. We got these appetizer dishes and were recommended the half chicken half meat shawarma by the staff and loved everything. The pita is so fresh, best pita we’ve had at a Mediterranean restaurant in a loooooong time. Very wonderful service. Thank you for everything lavash.
Ramesh Basina
The best food I ever had in recent times. Service is awesome 👌 and tasty food. 😋 and maintained very well.
Marzella Collier
Awesome food, the best food and desert this side of heaven, we are hooked. We were Lavished with the food, and treated like family. Great place to eat you will not be disappointed.
Satish Prabhakar
Simple but good ambience .food tasted well, portions are just right , so no wastage of food. Clean plates and clean silverware , so very less use of plastic.
Little expensive the photo I added is a dish for 14$ and if you order the falafel separately it will be 5$.the salad and the hummus costs 9$ which is a rip off.
Sara M
We tried the chicken, mence lamb and kefta. Kefta was spicy with some aromatic herbs we hadn’t try before. So if you are looking for something that tastes more neutral, go with the chicken or mence lamb. The staff were super friendly and caring and gifted us some baklava. The price was a bit high for the type of food and location but the experience worths it.
mik
If I ever visit Columbus again, I will absolutely return to Lavash. Best gyros in the Midwest. Cheesecakes rival Cheesecake Factory and my son said the baklava is the best he has had. The owner Nasir warmly greets all guests and is particularly kind to children… never have been treated like this at any restaurant ever by the owner.
Eric Diaz
If you’ve never eaten REAL mediterranean food like me, then I suggest this place be your first. So very herbaceous, and seasoned with such delicacy. Everything was cooked to perfection, but what stood out was the presentation of the food. Perfectly plated. Last but not least is how friendly and efficient the staff were, cherry on top of the sundae. I would definitely be dining here again!! Thank you mediterranean food <3
Madhu Sudan
Loved my experience here at Lavash cafe👌🏼Went here for lunch and ordered Lentil soup,Shawarma Sandwich (Chicken and if you want Lamb+Beef it’s extra $1),Chicken Shawarma with tahini/garlic sauce. It comes with Basmati rice which was so good. Lamb chops in entrees which was so damnnn perfect, this one’s my fav from this place. They also have few varieties of Baklava and other desserts one should definitely try em. A well maintained and friendly staff.
Added few pictures from this place.........
Jon D
We ordered to go but the dining area looker pretty clean. The staff was really friendly. They even offered us drinks as we waited for our order. Our friend who lives locally brought us here as it is one of his favorite Mediterranean restaurants.
I had the chicken kabob and my wife had the chicken shwarma. We both enjoyed out meals. My wife remarked how much she liked the rice. The meat was juicy and spiced really well. I would definitely eat here again.
Matthew Mitchell
Excellent Mediterranean cuisine with many options to choose from. Lots of tasty bakery options I look forward to trying. Service is polite and prompt. The effort and attention to detail is really outstanding, this place cares about giving you a positive dining experience. Definitely a must try!
Vincent Lam
Great Mediterranean restaurant. It is a good place to hang out with group of friends. Their >4 ppl combos are worthy.
Edwin Beltran
The only way to have more delicious authentic Middle Eastern food, would be to actually be in the Middle East. As long as you stick to the Middle Eastern choices.
We started with a truly delicious Lentil soup, my wife doesn't really care for lentil soup, but this definitely changed her mind.
The Hummus was silky and wonderfully seasoned.
The Lamb Mencef was outstanding, fall of the bone softness with a accompanying sauce that was reminiscent of how lobster and hot butter go together, simply delicious.
Also ordered the Red Snapper Entree, didn't really have anything new to offer. Should have ordered another dish, plus it took a while to be brought to the table.
Very busy place, and seems like many come here often.
Definitely plan to come back again.
nat geovani
Outstanding service, the facility is very clean, and the staff is quite friendly. It’s pretty hard to find a Middle Eastern restaurant with an easily labeled vegan or gluten-free food options. Check out their grilled meat section which looks very fresh. Bonus point, you gotta try their banana pudding dessert along with mint tea😋
Alesha Jackson
This is the best Lamb Chops in Columbus Ohio!! Food was amazing customer service was great, the surrounding atmosphere was excellent.. Thank you Lavash Cafe
DeMarco Marable
Excellent food and excellent customer service. Staff was very kind and inviting.
Assanti Mohamed
I loved my experience there it’s was very clean and while I was waiting for a table they were very very quick in cleaning it up. Everyone that worked there was very nice. The food was very very good it’s was my first time going there and I loved it definitely going there again make sure to try the humus and the pita that was eally good and the meat was very well cooked and seasoned also.
Christopher Diglia
As advertised! Which is rare in the food industry. Most places don't live up to the social media post and word of mouth, but Lavash is an absolute home run! Great food, in which I recommend the Lamb Chops and better service! Is there anything better than the owner of the restaurant walking around checking on their guest? Please go give this place a try, you won't regret it.
Ariel Russell
Some of the best Arab food I’ve had in the US, and I used to live in Jordan. They have excellent shrimp kebabs.
Also, very diet-friendly. A loved one is on Keto and it’s one of a few places in Columbus I can reliably take them to and know that they’ll be able to have a bunch of options to choose from.
sabrina short
The food is so good here! I went with my husband and we shared the whole red snapper and the sampler platter. Both of them were great. Its hard to find places in Columbus that have fried whole red snapper, so this place is a gem.
Robert Eblin
Lavish always has delicious Mediterranean food, from simple gyros and kabobs to beautiful lamb chops and seafood. Everything is fresh and flavorful (a friend thinks the tabbouleh is the best in town), and is available to go or to eat in the restaurant. Orders are placed at the counter, then food is delivered on trays. In the summer, the outdoor seating is pleasant
Dominic Sondrini
I was picking up catering from there for a work event and an employee helped me carry all the food out to my car. The lamb was really tender and extremely flavorful. Everything I heard everyone else say was the same. My only complaint would be that their online takeout menu only lists baklava as one of the desserts available when in fact, they have; walnut, cashew, and postatio baklava, to be discovered upon arrival for pick up. My baklava exceed expectations regardless. My recommendation would be to go there a couple of times and then start going there every day. You won't be sorry.
Andrew Fernandez
What can I say about this place? The Shwarma is the best lunch item in Columbus, OH. The atmosphere is nice and clean and bright. The pistachio baklava is proof of a benevolent God. If you've been here then you know my words speak truth. If you haven't been, then I forgive you. Now run on over and get a treat. It's delicious.
Cole Harlow
I ordered the Lentil soup and chick shawarma. Both dishes were fantastic and reasonably priced. A waiter came around and ensured I had enough pita and pita chips for the meal and even provided additional pita at no extra cost. I had a chocolate whipcream cake for dessert and that was also fantastic
Angela Davis
I absolutely love lavash, one of my favorite Middle Eastern restaurants in Columbus. They do the food right & I love that they keep it authentic (I’m from Egypt so I appreciate it). I almost always get the chicken shawarma on pita bread with an order of fries. Their hummus & pita is also incredible, we love having it around the house as a staple. I also really love their cashew finger baklava! Cannot go wrong.
Erin Sinsley
Ate here on NYE 2022. So delicious! Perfect for vegans and meat lovers alike. Great tabouleh, grape leaves, falafel, and hummus. Salad portions are huge! Fantastic Turkish coffee and baklava as well. Definitely recommend for great Mediterranean food.
Muhammad Ibrahim
Affordable food and super quick service. Good taste and superb quantity of food.
Mark G
We have eaten at many Mediterranean restaurants around Columbus, this was our first time here and I will say it is my favorite. We had a variety of things on the menu and everything was good. What stood out to me, their coffee is off the chain.
Rye Hiker
Lavash was hopping on this drizzly Sunday evening! All tables full while we were there. Had the always tasty gyro and fries. Finished up with a piece of pistachio baklava. Parking behind the restaurant makes eating there very convenient.
David Hohl
This place is amazing. I have only had good experiences from here. From the lamb chops to the chicken to the hummus and baba ganoush you can’t make a wrong decision about what to order. The service is excellent and the staff helpful. This is the kind of local local restaurant all should support.
Tristan Murry
We went there on a Monday and didn’t realize they would be closed and the owner, whom we have met before, brought our kids out some baklava and cupcakes. Very generous of him to do so! Great great place! We highly recommend.
Danielle W
We've been ordering lunch catering lately for a bunch of small group meetings and we've tried to choose from a variety of approved local vendors. They've mostly been okay but, I'm just going to rave about Lavash for a moment... They confirmed the order; each order was labeled with the recipient's name and was 100% correct; there were plates, napkins, condiments and cutlery; they included plenty of extra hot sauce; the hot food was hot and the cool food was cool; AND they emailed an itemized receipt so that we could conclude our transaction! Additionally, Matt was SO nice when he brought our order in, he walked it all the way to our office, offered to go back out to his car to get more cutlery if we needed it and checked off each item to make sure it was there before he left. We all know Lavash's food is excellent, but what really sets them apart are the little details and kindnesses that come standard with every order. 10/10 will order catering from them again :-) Thanks Lavash!!!
Mohamed Bah
we went there to celebrate a graduate and ordered 4 mixed plates for a party of 15 people and was waiting for the order after having paid when the manager came and warned us that what we ordered is too much for 15 people instead he advised us to order 2 plates and if we finish that then we can order more, we did just that with his help and we had enough food for 15 people and had to carry- out some ,it was so delicious and thank you for your honesty I recommend this place for their food, service and honesty. we would surely come back as that was our first time.
Aaliyah Davison
Lavash is one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus. I specifically wanted to come on here to thank my delivery driver for doing an awesome job!! He purposely used a hot bag over my food to keep it warm during the drive, and he got to my location speedy quick. And he was so kind! I don’t know his name, but thank you so much! If you haven’t eaten at Lavash yet, you’re missing out. 10/10
Mr.H
The food was amazing and one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in columbus. Ive been coming here for 10 years and the food never disappoints and the staff is so friendly.
Christian Riestra
We just went to get lunch today. The food it amazing the owner came to our table to said hi and the hold staff was super friendly and helpful with our orden . I will recommend to any body to tried the food and support local restaurants. I can’t wait for the next time to tried more food from the menu.
Fe Soleil
Lavash is amazing! Highly recommend you just go for yourself. There is a great selection to choose from and each item on their menu has been incredible. I can't wait to go back!
Bob Duncan
Very good food. Hard to judge service as it is an ,"order at the counter" establishment. Low key casual atmosphere. The food outshines the service and atmosphere.
Rob Delach
Amazing Middle Eastern food in Clintonville!
I had the lamb and beef shawarma entree and a small side of hummus. The entree was a huge portion of meat and rice, so much food, and so delicious.
Chris Frederick
Excellent lamb moussaka, chicken lavash and lentils soup!
James Braun
Always excellent food (the lamb and beef shawarma is my favorite, but everything I have had is genuinely delicious) and always great service.
Audra Al-Mansour
We love Lavash! Coming from a large middle eastern family, without fail, every time we visit, we always order the hummus, falafel, kibbeh and grape leaves for the table then our meals. Their mansaf, kebabs and shawarma are also delicious.
Sri surya shankar Neerukonda
One of the best Mediterranean cuisine in the area. I like the area around the cafe, full of bikers and rock band. Pleasant ambience inside and we also have a outside seating. We ordered chicken shawarma and Kefta chicken kabab entree plate, both are very juicy and chicken pieces are very well roasted which gives perfect taste of a shawarma combined with pita bread. I loved it.
I ordered a mango smoothie which is very true to the taste of mango....it’s more tasty if you try it with little whip cream mixed in it.
I am sharing some pics of this place and their menu. I would love to go again.
Sarah O'Connor
Walked in and greeted on very warmly. My son loved the pita and hummus. The Greek salad with chicken kabob was delicious! Got a few desserts to go as well! Looking forward to coming back. Seemed like they did well on carry out.
Raja Gorla
She explained to me about the dishes and helped me order them. The food was awesome.
Joseph Toman
Great food and service. Super nice workers and very welcoming. 8/10 would recommend to friends
Douglas Baz
I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich with the garlic sauce. It was delicious! I was pleasantly surprised when I got my plate and it had lift (pickled turnips) and pickles adorning the sandwich. I missed seeing the fries on the menu until after I had ordered but will definitely get some next time. I saw a few other patrons eating them and they looked perfect.
Looking forward to eating here again. That picture says it all!
John
Lavash is great. They really treat you like family.
The food is fantastic and authentic. The best middle eastern food I've had since I lived in the UAE. Their hummus is sooooooo smooth and flavorful. I dream of as I write this review.
The baklava is divine.
Seriously, Lavash is fantastic. Go eat there and enjoy yourself.
Elfatih Rustom
Very beautiful setting & very authentic Mediterranean delicious food. The service is remarkable...
Natalie Tyler
The food here is good but the outstanding thing is that they offer the very best fish and chips I've had in Columbus. Varied desserts are superb. The expected items--the middle-eastern cuisine is excellent. Finding the fish and chips was delightful serendipity.
Betsy “lexfun4kids” Fusilier
Delicious stop while visiting Columbus. Love all the vegan options! Friendly service and nice atmosphere!
Scott E. Oman
By far our favorite Mediterranean food in Columbus. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is always so pleasant and friendly. There is plenty of seating (including outdoor) and options for pretty much every diet. Ordering at the counter can sometimes be a bit of a cluster if there are several people waiting in line from the front door, but that is honestly the only thing that I could think of that they could improve. Overall, fantastic food, pleasant service and a very clean, calm atmosphere.
Brittney
Very fresh ingredients and quick service! Everything was very flavorful. Prices very reasonable. We plan to return when we are back in the area.
Preethika Vasant Kumar
Best experience ever. Love the food, love the staff! Everyone is just so nice. I'm definitely coming back! Kudos to the manager, Walla. Gem of a person. 🥰🥰
Colleen H
Great dinner at Lavash tonight! We originally planned to carry out, but the owner warmly invited us to sit outside and eat at a patio table that had just opened up, and even cleared the table for us himself. All of our dishes were fantastic! The hummus is always a favorite, but the Moroccan chicken special and lemon cauliflower stew special were definitely standouts as well. The service was great as always. We love Lavash and will continue to be loyal customers!
Fahd YK
One of the best if not the best Mediterranean restaurants in town. The staff is super helpful and accommodating. Food is absolutely delicious. Ambience is nice. Ample of space. Centrally located near OSU campus and easy to spot from the main road.
Note to Owner: The back room for eating doesn't have the same ambience as main hall and needs work.
Daniel Dawson
It seems pricy at first, but when you see the portions you get, it's totally worth it.
Really Good Food!!!! The lamb platter was incredible. Can't wait to try more of the desserts!
Samaa Mohammed Elnagar
how sweet they are. they offer us this free baklava because it is first time to try turkish coffee. Try the two combo . Great value
leafy_bfdi:D
Amazing food. The service is great, the food is delicious, and If you’re Muslim, there’s an are where you can pray! Children also have free cupcakes! Definitely go to Lavash Cafe.
Rachel Dougherty
Had a great first experience at Lavash. We ordered several things including the Beef & Lamb Shawarma, hummus, and falafel. The service was fast, the restaurant was clean, the food was delicious. What else can you ask for? I will for sure be coming back!
Jamila J
Amazing food and wonderfully kind workers. Their pita bread is some of the best I’ve had. I’ve ordered from here multiple times and have not been disappointed.
selena
So in 2022 we tried A Lot of different places to eat and can I say hands down Lavash Cafe is the best
Michelle Katona
So I had a different kind of experience here since I'm on the keto diet. It works if you get a chicken kebob (without rice) and a side salad. The chicken is really good! My friend got a couple desserts and said that the cashew one is really amazing and mouthwatering. One of the workers there is super! If you run into him you'll feel immediately happier from his cheery presence.
Cat Hi
The food was amazing, and the service was fantastic! I highly recommend this place. Today was my first visit and I will be a repeat customer!
Christopher Boron
Love the garlic paste-- you need to ask for it. Everything is amazing, they have the best rice, and their baklava is on point.
Gokulnadh Naduvilakandy

Clean restrooms, clean tables..
montrealer90
The best Lebanese Restaurant in the States.
The food is delicious, amazing staff and very clean facilities.
Morgan Barron
Lavash's chocolate cheesecake is one of my favorite things in Columbus. Whenever friends or family come to visit, we make sure to take them to Lavash.
April Spreng
The food is so go and fresh. The employees are friendly and helpful. The owner came around to the tables and spoke.
claire sinsley
Amazing food, big portion sizes, and tons of options for vegan and vegetarian people. Prices are great too!
Erin Steele
Generally good food - love the Baklava. Had an issue with an order and the GM went above and beyond to make it right! Thanks.
Maryam Shahid
Absolutely fantastic!! The food is prepared fresh and it is delicious. Everything is of course halal. The restaurant is very modern and clean. They have a musalah (prayer area), a separate area for women to eat and the owner is amazing. Good things happen to good people. We were visiting from Maryland he talked to us as if we were old friends, very easy going and friendly. He gave us free hummus and baklava for the road. There were a few children in the restaurant he gave them cupcakes, a homeless women walked in he gave her a sandwich. Great owner mA. I hope his restaurant continues in success inshAllah!
Forgot to mention they also have a charging station for your phone!
Ahjah Johnson
I'm not really into Mediterranean dishes but the salmon reeled me in. Friends and I stopped in for brunch. It wasn't bad at all.
Tyler Pabon
The food here is always amazing. But what I really love is the staff. They are so friendly and always go above and beyond to give good service. This place is ran by genuinely kind people! I love the lamb kabobs and the chicken shawarma entrees! The quantity of food that you get is always enough for some leftovers for me. I’ve got quite the sweet tooth and everything I’ve tried from the baked goods is always phenomenal.
Skye
Amazing food and service, one of my favorite places in the city!
Danielle Ashbrook
Three of us shared this feast, and we each took home leftovers. The Fatoush salad was amazing and I think it was one of my favorite parts, and the meat and rice platter had something for everyone.
Hawra
I tried the Mujadara and Shawarma, it was amazing. There is a prayer area & halal food. The restaurant owner is very nice!
Jlinn Henline
After living in Seattle for 30 years and relocating to rural Ohio I have been craving the amazing Middle Eastern food I love. On a trip to Columbus I happened to find Lavash. I’m planning to go back any time I have a chance to get to the Columbus area again. By far the best food I’ve had here in Ohio. The food is fresh, delicious, melt in your mouth flavors that deserve to be fully enjoyed. My friend (also a Seattle resident) and I ordered a large sampling of items from the menu intended to eat there and take home. We were both in our happy places while we marveled at the quality of the food and the preparations. We were visited at our table by the owner (not typical of a small, fast food style cafe), a pleasant, friendly man. When we gushed about how much we enjoyed everything and told him we would be sure to plan trips back (even my Seattle friend said she’ll fly into Columbus so we can stop there for lunches) he offered us complimentary baklava. He assured us it was a one time deal and we could pay for our next one charmingly. I love this place!
Ellen Cook
The absolute best I've had in a long time. The service was awesome and the food was delicious.
Gargamel Smurfeater
I've been coming to Lavash since it opened. They have great food, and all the staff is super nice. Even the owner comes around and will chat with you, which is always a good sign. You know a restaurant is confident about their food when the owner is willing to show his face! They have baklava that slaps pretty hard. I usually get the beef and lamb rolled pita, but sub in Garlic sauce and remove the tahini. There have been times this sandwitch is legit the best sandwitch I have ever eaten from a restaurant in my life. Its always decent, bit sometimes on very rare occasions the sandwich is god tier. If they can ever figure out how to make the rolled pitas 10/10 good every time, then I will adjust to 5 stars.
Whitney Taylor Ray
I had been craving a Shawerma and found this restaurant. The first thing I noticed was the great customer service and product knowledge. I was pleased with my shawarma and will definitely come back again.
Mark B.
Food here was decent but I wasn’t really impressed. I would probably come back to try a few more dishes though. Coffee was good.
Claudio Donndelinger
Smells and tastes amazing. Eat in or pick up to go to enjoy the smells.
Nick Botz
A really nice little Mediterranean restaurant that offers a patio for outdoor dining. The shawarma sandwich was very good and the tabboulleh was probably the best that I have ever had.
Pamella Okonny
Tasty food. Quick Service. Ordered the meat entree shwarma with chicken and garlic sauce. 10/10.
Claire Wiedman
My husband has come here since about the time it opened, and brought me as one of our first dates in 2018. Now that we live all the way across town, it's an event to come eat at Lavash, and one that we look forward to each time. The hospitality of this place is truly outstanding, and only matched or surpassed by the quality and taste of the food. Everything on the menu is appropriately priced based on the amount of skill and labor that goes into making it well. Some favorites of ours are the baba ghanoush (which has generous chunks of smoky eggplant to give it a really indulgent quality), sandwiches (my favorite is the veggie combo, which has several delicious dips on it - get it with the crispy lavash bread and thank me later), kabobs, and moussaka on weekends. The selection of desserts at the front counter will make you salivate, but rest assured you cannot make a bad choice. Whatever name comes out of your mouth, it's going to be so great. I also have to applaud their takeout game. At the height of pandemic, when many places struggled to embrace takeout and maintain their business, Lavash made it look smooth and practiced. We got several takeout orders during that time and never had a complaint. That said, we prefer dining in so we can be surrounded by other happy, well-fed folks enjoying this place.
Eddie Liam
Awesome awesome food. Did I say it was awesome? It is the best representation of true middle eastern cuisine! We were optioned to pay or help with the dishes we opted to pay LOL. Great atmosphere and sense of humor. Will be back there again and again. Yum!
RG
This place is incredible and never disappoints! I’m here on a Weekly basis and always look forward to visiting the restaurant. I’ve started using them for catering for work and my clients absolutely love it. Not only is the food phenomenal, but the owner, his daughter and staff are super friendly and courteous. The restaurant is always clean and you can tell everyone their takes pride in what they do, starting with the owner. The food and customer service is top notch, especially if you are looking for authentic middle eastern food. Large portions are worth the price. Whatever you do….don’t sleep on the dessert case. The pistachio cake, baklava and seasonal cheesecakes are all awesome.
Rafael De Leon
Great casual dining experience. Amazing food. Lots of vegan options too!
Anna Roberts
This was one of the best dining experiences we have had ever. Upon learning that this was our first time the chef gave us an extravagant welcome, talking is through the menu and letting us know what was safe to eat for our dietary restrictions due to allergens. We ended up getting 3 different kebab platters—all tender and cooked perfectly, a gyro sandwich—very delicious, a bowl of lentil soup, falafel and hummus and a small spicy bowl of housemade hot sauce. Everything was amazing and has us seriously considering eating here on our way back through town on our return journey.
Daniel Miller
Great place, food is around $19 for an entree which is a very large amount of food for one person. You would be full from it, guaranteed.
Pavel Genkin
Great Middle Eastern (Palestinian) food. We enjoyed everything we ordered.
Low key Me
The most delicious food you will ever have in Columbus and their staff is respectful and kind. Go check it out
Zeinab Hussein
My family and I love lavash . The customer service is excellent. The owner makes you feel at home . Definitely recommend this place .
Fabio Sorano
Great energy, the place is hopping! Good baba ganoush, tabbouleh and kibbeh. The chicken shawarma sandwich did contain what tasted like tzatziki sauce. That was a little bit shocking since it's not Greek restaurant but maybe it's an Ohio thing? Will definitely come back. The kabobs looked amazing and the staff was very kind.
Jordan Page
Great atmosphere, portions were generous, and food only took a couple minutes before it was ready. The desserts, particularly the baklava, were amazing. The staff also recommend their favorites, and they were also friendly and took orders efficiently even when busy.
Mahassen Hala
The food and the hospitality here are amazing! I got the shawarma chicken, which was perfect, and the sweets were even better. I was visiting from out of state and definitely will be going back next time I'm in town to try more of the menu.
Jake Frederick
I have visited Lavish Cafe 3 times over the last year. For starters, it is family owned and is a small business. The food here is divine, very flavorful and filling. The portion sizes of the entrees are also large enough for leftovers the next day.
I have had the chicken kefta each time I have visited. It comes with a large serving of amazing rice and peta.
Safe to say this has become one of my favorite places to stop for Mediterranean food (and food in general) in Columbus.

Had their traditional gyro and Tabbouleh and they were both amazing. Normally when you get a gyro from somewhere, the meat is greasy and slimy. Not from Lavash Cafe! I was very impressed with the quality of their meat as well as the perfect blend of seasoning applied to it. The tabbouleh was also very good. I'll definitely be going here again when I'm out in that area. Also, the staff were very nice and kind.
Waleed Hezam
Fresh cook and hospitality. Verity of dishes. Love it the grilled meat is their top tier meal.

The place is ok. Be clear this rating is for the food not the customer service. The service is amazing! The food was just ok. I’m coming from NY where they have the most authentic Mediterranean food so my expectations were high. I guess it’s decent for the Midwest but it doesn’t taste as authentic as the food they serve in NY.
Dina Ratliff
We went there for the first time today. Can I tell you I am in love and addicted. The hummus and black bean hummus with bread and vegetables are so amazing. My son had a chicken Gyro and loved it. I had the chicken kebab and it was fantastic. Employees were very helpful in answering any questions and making suggestions as it was our first time. we will be back soon!! Thank you for everything
Jason Chmil
This is very good food it has both Greek and Mediterranean based food and its good,much better than eat greek
Sujoy Bhowmik
The ingredients and preparations are the highest quality. I'm not always the biggest fan of Mediterranean food but this place takes it to the next level. Very flavorful and it just feels healthy: my body just feels great after a meal there.
Olivia Rhodes
Best pita I’ve ever had - can’t wait to come back!
Sarah Whittington Johnston
Shawarma-tastic! The lamb and beef shawarma is wonderfully seasoned and the baklava...it is a flakey sweetness that dessert dreams are made of. Lavash is my go to Mediterranean restaurant when in Columbus and the one I crave when I'm away. I've always had it as takeout and loved every bite. Oh and the chocolate mousse cheesecake has a great combination of textures and taste. Highly recommend that you check out Lavash Cafe, even if through delivery or takeout.
Muhanad Kassim
Very nice people, tasty food
Goddess Manda
Amazing food, excellent service, and beautiful atmosphere! Even the bathrooms were exceptional!!
Radha Lakshmi
Second time here. Wonderful people and very tasty, well balanced top shelf Mediterranean food. So good to be back. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 …
Yvonne Richards
The hummus was incredible. Inwould suggest the vegetables over the bread to go with it. Now let's talk about the gyro...huge portion and the meat was so tender!
Andy Bachman
The space is relatively new construction. You order at the front off of an overhead board and are given a buzzer so that you can come up when your food is ready. The lamb I had was a little burnt and the lavash salad was good but I was expecting a little more for the price
KC FM
This is a catering review! Lavash catered our brunch the day after the wedding for about 120 people. We has a great experience working with their catering team! Our contact was so helpful in suggesting popular entrees and appropriate quantities for the number of guests. The food was delivered to our venue, and we were provided with chafing dishes and sterno to keep everything warm (which were easy to return to the restaurant the following week). All the food was delicious - we got a variety of meats, falafel, rice, salad, hummus, grape leafs. We had a decent amount of food leftover, but their quantities are always generous so we thought that might happen! Love to support one of local businesses and we will be back!
mohayman alkhalidy
Best Arabic food in Columbus. Nice place to grab a bite, and enjoy sometime with family.
Theresa Hom
Happy they're open for dine in again! Hummus and kebob sandwich are my favorites
James Bunger
Awesome tacos quality drinks social atmosphere. Worthy of a stop if you like tacos even just a little
Luis Hernandez
Always a great meal and environment! Had the lamb moussaka!
Jena Eckler
This... this place is amazing. The people are great and the food is amaaaaazing!
Gabrielle Glenn
Lavash is the best! We have dined in and gotten takeout many times and it never disappoints. We also had them cater our wedding! That was four months ago and guests are STILL talking about how it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Jackie , Matt, and the rest of the team are so kind and helpful--1000/10 recommend grabbing a meal here or having them cater your next event!
Kadian Williams
The experience and the food was amazing. Will be visiting again soon
Sheikh Farabi
Great middle eastern food. It is a bit pricey but it is worth it. Great place for swarma. Hands down one of their best dish.
David Galbreath
Loved it! Heard about Lavash from a friend of mine that this is the best in town....it didnt disappoint!
Evan Mills
The food was great! I ordered the lamb chops, shrimp kabob and a kabob sandwich. The chocolate moose dessert and banana pudding cheese cake were very good also. This was my first time but I highly recommend.
Ben Kushnir
We frequent lavash all the time. The food is excellent and always consistently delicious. The service is always wonderful and everyone treats you kindly. We usually go for the steak/chicken kebabs, fattoush salad and yellow rice. If you’re feeling risky, the cashew fingers and mint tea combo are an absolute must for dessert.
Sheba Syed
The greatest Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! We drive 2 hours to eat here and it’s totally worth it. Also, their cakes are incredible, better than any bakery. Staff is also very friendly!
Anastasia Elencovf
Love the food! So delicious. Great environment for family, a date or to hangout with friends.
Alissa Paynick
The food is amazing! I eat here at least once a week and it’s consistently good!! Everyone who works there makes you feel like family and their customer service & online presence is top notch!
Jonathan Matías
Incredible dining experience. Gyros, tabouleh, chicken kabob were breathtakingly good. The owner stopped by our table, talked with our kids, and brought them cupcakes. Next time we're in Columbus we will dine at Lavash Cafe.
Katherine Stach
I can't believe it took me this long to try Lavash! Tried a few different things and everything was incredible. I had the chicken shawarma sandwich as my main dish. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and the wrap was toasty and held everything together perfectly. My friend I split a few different sides/appetizers as well - grape leaves, fries, traditional hummus and black bean hummus. Everything was great but the black bean hummus was my favorite - had the perfect amount of kick to it and fantastically complimented the pita that came with it. If you enjoy Mediterranean food you have to give Lavash a try. The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get and the quality.
Big Sponk
Delicious and flavorful. The bakery alone is a good enough reason to stop by. Not too pricey either, and easy parking. Amazing!
Mohammed Zidani
Food excellent top notch customer service absolutely I will be back ❤️❤️❤️
Matthew Link
Lavash is hands down the best Mediterranean food in Central Ohio. I hadn’t eaten here for about five years(because I moved from the area) and I was quickly reminded that it is one of my favorite restaurants. Their food is unmatched, but the customer service is also incredible. Will not go that long without eating here ever again!
Corey Frix
First, I don't give anyone 5 stars unless they're serving me a large piece of dead cow and a delicious bourbon. That said, I'll give Lavash 4 3/4 stars. Very nice people, very good food, large portions, good service. The food is well-cooked and well-seasoned. The prices are reasonable.
Simeon Honeycutt
Wow! What a splendid experience! We asked a local food truck vendor where to go to lunch, and she said Lavash was her favorite place in town. The food was authentic and healthy and divine. The staff was friendly and accommodating. You get the feeling everyone loves to work here. I’m coming back for the whole fried red snapper. It looks like a PARTY ON A PLATE.
Jacob Wachtel
There was 6 of us plus some kids. We got the family meal for 6-8 persons. It was a lot of food, and very delicious!
It gave us a smattering of a bunch of different types of Mediterranean foods and kabobs.
Authentic. Personable. Affordable. Extremely delicious. And a upscale feel at an affordable price.
Would definitely go back again!
David R
Great experience. Owner and staff were very friendly. The beef/lamb shawarma tasted a little too pot roast like for my taste, but other than that, an excellent experience. Lentil soup and hummus were excellent. The black forest cake was amazing (minus the kirsch, as this is the US, not Germany. Lol). Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
Ethan Morgan
If you only need one thing in your life is the pistachio baklava! I would eat it until I threw up if I had no self control. Everything here is awesome but also particularly love the gyros and falafel. Awesome!
Jenny Hofstetter
This was my first time eating here. The food was great and the staff was friendly. I would recommend the Falfle Plate!
Sierra Villalobos
Absolutely phenomenal. The owner and the entire staff are so polite and the food is FANTASTIC! Their chocolate mousse cheesecake is the best I've ever had. Vegetarian friendly and conveniently located, Lavash Cafe is my new favorite place to eat
Khaizoom
Spectacular food and amazing service. Lamb chops and shawarma were insanely good. The waitresses deserve a raise - very friendly and quick to service. They even have a prayer area which was super cool. Solid 5 star experience. Wish I lived in the area so I could come back.
Molly Farrell
Hands down one of our favorite and most-visited places in Columbus! So many wonderful things on the menu you can’t go wrong.
DEE 26TH
Decent food but a good amount for your $. Excellent rice....
M
Quick service and quality food. Environment is cute and festive.
If I were to critique something Id say too many upcharges. For example....$1.00 upcharge for a well done preference? Have never seen this in any restaurant lol. That's just too excessive. Otherwise good place. ^__^
Zaina Kret
simply the best restaurant i've ever been to.
Shokhida Nasirova
LOVE this place. Been going here for almost 8 years and the food is delicious every time. Back when dine in was an option, the owner personally would come and check on you and makes sure everything is perfect. With COVID now, my family will order take out and the food is just as good at home as in the restaurant. Everything is flavorful, cooked perfectly, and the portions are great. They also treat their employees well as if they were family and give back to the community.
Robert Tauber
If you ever want have a really excellent and successful experience with a caterer, not to mention wonderfully tasty food, try Lavash in Columbus, Ohio. The best hummus, grape leaves and kabobs ever. And, the staff are the very best. Everyone at my event of 40 loved the food; what they didn’t eat, they took home with them. Too good!
J. Brice Robertson
A great place for something different. They have many wonderful Mediterranean style dishes.
Terri Holmes
A coworker brought me a menu to work today so I decided to try it for dinner tonight. I'm so glad I did. When I arrived to pick up my order the person who handled my order ( and I believe the owner) were both very friendly. The food was so delicious!! I drove from the Eastside and it was worth the drive for sure!!! I will be back!!
Linda Tillman
Fantastic food, perfect spice, iced mint tea....yummmm!!
Finu Lukose
Been here a few times and have tried a couple dishes. This past time I had the lamb and beef kefta in pita and it was absolutely delicious. I have had the chicken plate entree a different time and it was also great. All the meats are beautifully seasoned and cooked. Very juicy and flavorful. The service is fast and the environment is clean. Would definitely come back and bring visitors from out of town.
Kenneth Sinsley
The only disappointing thing about Lavash is the fact that it is not in South Florida where I live.
Mohamed Mohamood
Lavash cafe is slowly becoming a staple on my Friday Afternoons. I usually come in with a couple friends and order a platter and the food never disappoints. The owner is a gem and attempts to meet every customer who dines in and makes sure the food is right. I’ve been here many many times and have yet to see any flaws.
pasam likitha
Loved the food. Ordered several times overthere, lamb chops, chicken grill and salad. Lamb chops are one of my favourite dish. The best Mediterranean place I would recommend is lavash.
shasha Columbus psychic
Great place for “real” food …the chicken kabobs are always great ,and you can never go wrong with the beef and lamb shawarma..as someone who’s lived and done business in clintonville for over 10 years I have to say this is one of the better places in the neighborhood to eat
Robert Coates
Assalamualaikum to any Muslim readers. May Allah guide all the non-muslim readers. This was my first time coming here. I had lamb tika. They called it lamb kebab but I don't like to call it kabob. Anyway I also had a lemon mint smoothie. All of the food was really good. All of the staff were really helpful and nice. I'm assuming that I was talking with the owner who was also really nice. We joked around a little bit. I ate out on the deck. Everything about the place was really nice. I also had baklava for dessert. It was delicious. If you are in the area and looking for halal food this is a good place to consider.
STEVE L
Very good from beginning to end everyone was on their game. Picked up to go order perfect
Rose Thomas
Great portions!!! I can barely finish my food, good taste but lack of sauce so the dish is a little dry
Jay Macarus
Wonderfull food, wonderful people! Highly recommend.
sahaj patel
It’s a proper middle eastern fusion. Flavors, fresh ingredients and amazing quick service. It is one of them gem of middle eastern food in Columbus. Falafel sandwich can be improved with better combination, feels dry a bit and have had it many times. Still giving 5 stars as my comments before are simply recommendations but overall the food is “bismo” :-)
Brandon Smith
This place is immaculate. The food is always created with fresh ingredients. Flavoring is always top notch. Finally, the staff is very warm and inviting.
Rohini Yalamanchilli
Great food .. Delicious food and desserts..decent ambience..
Hannah Thomas
Excellent food and service at this restaurant! Anything you try you will love! This is one of my favorite restaurants. Don't forget the baklava after your meal!
Mottas Elbatta
Excellent Middle Eastern Food, they are very generous, don't leave without trying the meat and beed Shawerma ;)
Jimmy Pailin
Great Mediterranean food as evidenced by the number of people from those regions which eat there. The staff is always smiling and nice. The food is very good and plentiful. And, you don't have to empty your wallet to enjoy superb dining. Also, don't overlook the desserts
Jacque Rowlen
Excellent service, and the staff was very helpful and accommodating! Great food and huge portions for the price. Their hummus is amazing with fresh made pita, and be sure to try the baklava!
Naomi O
Incredible food incredible staff! Has a variety of veggie/vegan selections in big portions! I ordered lavash about 3 to 4 days a week for a couple months I can never get sick of the food! Always leaves me wanting more. Worth every dime.
JM Whitney
We had the opportunity to sample the baklava's and other cookies at a wedding that were from the Lavish Cafe. They were all above amazing, cannot wait to try a meal there and then have some more of the amazing goodies!!
Mariah B
As someone who eats vegan/vegetarian, Lavash is an excellent restaurant. Quite possibly the best hummus I've ever had, and the employees are outgoing, friendly, and welcoming. Lavash makes you feel like you're family, and I can't wait for my next visit!
Brooke Hampshire
Came for lunch today after ordering takeout multiple times in the past, and it did not disappoint! This restaurant is the definition of a family run business from the fresh made pita and desserts to the amazing entrees prepared fresh in house every single day you cannot go wrong!
The combo for 2 is our go to order, and add a shrimp skewer, to serve 3 with leftovers! They also do larger platters perfect for a group of friends night out, company lunch, or any gathering, it’s an awesome experience to share all of these fresh meals!
Best lamb chops in the city hands down! We will be back! Don’t forget to take home some desserts!
Lynn Chau
Do yourself a favor and make sure you try the homemade pistachio baklava and the lentil soup!! So flavorful and perfect in execution - flavours, textures, excellent mouthfeel. Service is also awesome - everyone is so nice and they have ample parking AND an outdoor patio!
Gee B
Staff was great, location great. However, while the portion was more than ample the gyro was tasteless, lacking flavor and was really just meat and bread. This was my one and only time at this restaurant so I really do not intend to bash them in case of a bad day. The food just wasn't great on this day.
Matthew Williams
Everything is fresh made and extremely flavorful. And the owner was the nicest guy on the planet
Lorence Sing
The dinner and lunch menu foods are fantastic, so fresh, very well prepared. Do NOT ignore the dessert menu! The baklava is amazing (especially the pistachio baklava!), the pistachio rolled cake is light, flavorful, and filling, and the chocolate mousse cheesecake is absolutely spectacular, my wife's very favorite dessert from anywhere!
Emily DelMonaco
Immediately greeted by owner and made to feel welcome as first time customers. Owner walked us up to counter and showed us different entree options. Generously given complimentary bites of baklava and hummus. Sat outside on cute private patio under shade of umbrella. Food was brought out to us quickly and owner came to check on us which was so appreciated. We tried the beef and lamb kefta, baba ghanoush, and kibbeh and everything was delicious. Staff was super friendly and very good experience overall. Would recommend!
kindzaburo
Nice restaurant with a very good quality fresh made food. Baklava selection is good. Selection of entries and sandwiches to fit different wallet sizes.
Oliver Pittman
We love Lavash!! It’s so colorful and bright and welcoming inside and the food is delicious (their hummus is so good). The desert selection is always fantastic and everyone is so sweet. highly recommend!!!
Becky Keown
Very excellent food. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend going.
Rebecca Bickerdt
This place is legit! Loved the Kibbeh and the Gyro was delish. The Rice Pudding was spot on as well. The Lavash bread was fresh and warm. Well worth the visit.
Joseph Cabalquinto
Simple, well prepared Mediterranean food. Today I ordered the lamb chops, which was served with rice and a few cuts of seasoned red onion, and the chops were prepared to the temperature that I wanted. They were tender, juicy and flavorful! Yum! It was accompanied with a small salad, simple but fresh, and pitas bread. Never had a disappointing meal. Definitely a place to go, even if a little pricey.
Holly Kirk
Not only was the food beyond delicious, but the owner stole all of our hearts at the table. It was our first time eating here, and he treated us like family. After our meal, he surprised us all with a plate of baklava (which I HIGHLY suggest you order!!) And endless jokes/entertainment. He even made a deal with my two year old that if she finished all of her dinner, he would give her a cupcake. You should have seen her eyes light up when this kindly gentleman rounded the corner with a giant chocolate cupcake topped with bright pink frosting. She was ecstatic!! I hope to come back with more friends and family in the near future to share this experience with. I hope that anyone reading these reviews will give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. I ordered the chicken kabob and and it came with a tangy, puffy, lightly whipped garlic dip that blew my mind. The lentil soup was wonderful. Usually I am left underwhelmed by a restaurant's lentil soup, but this one was creamy and smooth but still a thin texture with the perfect seasonings. And if you're into Turkish coffee, you absolutely want to try theirs!
Noor Elqatto
Love this place. Been coming to it for several years. The remodel looks great. I don't know how they did it but there food gets better everytime I visit. Owner and staff and very friendly and great. Closest thing u can get to authentic Arabic food is here at lavash.
Douaa Bennani
Very delicious arab food, great with large orders, nice staff
Stevie Armbrester
It's well balanced for meat 🍖 eaters , vegetarians, & vegans can't get enough😋🙏🏽👌🏽
Donnie Robinson
Excellent, very generous portion sizes. I love Shwarma, and kibbeh, yellow rice is perfect, salad fresh and beautiful. Authentic Mediterranean! Top notch!- The Antithesis of Bob Evans Hillbilly Farm slop!
Zeshan Khan
At this point, I enjoy a meal from this fine establishment on a weekly basis. Customer service is always excellent, food is consistently delicious & portions are more than generous. A major factor in my recent move was the proximity to Lavash lol. Go for the beef shawarma or chicken shish kabob entree if it’s your first time!
Mohammad Khan
Honestly, one of the best places to eat at in Columbus, OH! If you are passing through or if you are a local, you have to go to Lavash. The food is amazing and the spices are layered to perfection. The garlic sauce is amazing!
Besides the food, it is the people working there that make the restaurant such an amazing place. The owners are genuine, hard-working, and down to earth individuals who will do their utmost to make your experience be amazing!
Joe Coville
The best Mediterranean/middle eastern food I’ve had in years. Absolutely phenomenal. I’m not a big stuff grape leaf fan but these are the best I’ve ever had. My boss tried her husbands chicken shwarma and Loved it. Try the lavish platter.
Ben Irell
By far my favorite Mediterranean place in town. Everything I've tried is delicious. Great place to grab a sandwich at lunch or sit down for a three course dinner. Prices are extremely reasonable and they have a wide variety of options, including sweets. The atmosphere tends towards dark and quiet. Highly recommended.
Mohamed Ali Ghul Mohamed
Had iftar dinner here with friends. Very nice middle eastern cuisine. Little bit expensive but was very tasty. The owner was humble and down to earth. Good hospitality. The store has a small prayer area where about 10 people can pray at a time. Mashallah.
Ken Gordon
Everything here is great, especially their spreads (two hummus and baba ghanoush) and lentil soup.
Margaret DiMaria
This place has the best humus and lentil soup, hands down. The kabobs are amazing. Honestly, I have yet to have a dish I did not love. The owner is always walking around, talking to his customers and making sure they are happy. The service is great and the interior is really cute.
Sarah Wilkinson
Super delicious food. Great hummus, the shrimp wrap was amazing.
David Costanza
Solid Mediterranean place. Good gyro, shawarma, and sides. Didn't love the lavash bread, the falafel was only ok, and at least one of our party's entrees, the mojodara rice and lentils, was mediocre. I'd go back but would ask for regular pita and choose entrees carefully.
Aaisha Ali
I love this place May God Bless it❤ Aameen ❣
I ordered the tabouli and in all my years of eating tabouli I have never been given extra lemons 🍋🍋🍋 before!
Anyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE tabouli but also will judge a restaurant BASED on it's tabouli lol.
If it's not lemony? It's NOT tabouli 👎👎👎.
I highly recommend Lavish and can't wait to visit again GodWilling.
Holly Lorton
We had Lavash cater our wedding at our home and it was perfect. They were extremely prompt with communications and answered all of our questions quickly. There was a lot of flexibility in the ordering process -- we used the catering menu, but were able to design the meal to our exact needs. The catering contact made great recommendations to make sure we ordered the right amount of food for our 25 guests. The food was delivered on time and all the guests were very satisfied. Thanks so much for making our day extra special! Cheers!
Ryan P
Shawarma and baklava were perfect! Truly authentic Lebanese food and sweets, we'll definitely be coming back again.
Judy Meier
So helpful and friendly. Food was great.
edo tinjak
Absolutely the best Mediterranean in town! I have had every item off their menu and everything is spot on. I highly recommend family platters as you will get to taste a little bit of everything. On Fridays, their mansaf is a must....and you can never go wrong with their red snapper! Finish off with carrot cake or chocolate mousse and Turkish coffee! Aghhh! Enjoy, and thank me later! :)
Sidna Yosef
Amazing, fresh, delicious food. An outstanding service by amazing people. What a great experience for my family! We tried the red snapper, the vegetarian sandwich, a couple of orders of hummus, a combination of meat platter and a chicken plus beef kebab order. We were treated as kings this Saturday July 9, 2016 where the price we paid was truly negligible compared to the service and food provided. A big thanks to the cashier Moundar, to Omar the bread maker and the other personnel for a heavenly experience!
Hannah Warvel
Lavash Cafe has been a personal favorite of mine for years. I can honestly say I cry a little bit of happiness every time I eat there. The Shwarma is magical, the stuffed grape leaves are next level, and the hummus and pita are life-changing. To know them is to love them, and I am madly in love with Lavash Cafe.
Miranda Bereza
Amazing food and service! We LOVE this place! We have eaten here regularly after moving to the neighborhood 3 years ago. It never disappoints. They have the best hummus and shawarma. We have also ordered their roasts for Thanksgiving and Christmas and were amazed at how delicious they were. We always recommend this restaurant to friends. The restaurant also does an amazing job at giving back to the community!
Carissa Morinozuka
Amazing customer service and food, will be going again!
Nabi Shakhanov
Very Fast service Food was in our table in 5 minutes after we ordered and it was very delicious with big portions. Would Highly recommend this place.
Abdul Rahman Ghannoum
Great place!! Food was 10/10, service 10/10 we also got a chance to meet the owner and he is a very nice and humble person! We really enjoyed our time there 👍 …
Sally Fields
Can’t beat the quality and value! The best Hummus I’ve ever had, without a doubt. The Fatoush salad is a perfect chopped salad, fresh herbs flavor it enough so you don’t even need dressing (but it’s amazing). Truly, I’ve never had anything at Lavash that wasn’t perfectly cooked or seasoned, I’d eat anything on the menu! To top it off, the staff and owners are so wonderful, if you dine in you will feel like you are eating at a family members house. One of my favorite spots in Columbus - a must try.
Arash Ghazvini
Ian gave us a wonderful first-time experience as newcomers to Columbus! He is very friendly and gracious. The food is fantastic! Fresh and healthy. Also, the Turkish coffee is genuine with cardamom.
Lisa Craig Morton
We've always been fans of Lavash and enjoyed carry-out during Covid. Today was our first time back dining at the restaurant and it was fabulous! They took time during the Covid shut down to refresh the restaurant and patio. We ate outside and it was just delightful under the patio umbrellas and grape arbor. Food was delicious and service was excellent. I highly recommend this neighborhood gem!
Brice Pinkowski
Wonderful food. Daily specials are always great!
Jessica Liana Dugan (Liana Miska)
Loved it! We came from Cincinnati for a day trip and searched for something halal and found Lavash, it was alittle out of our way home but I’m glad we made the extra 20min trip. The lentil soup, chicken sharwarma, and lamb kabobs were amazing. Now the best part was the key lime pie, I love key lime but don’t get it often due to it not being halal but this was the best key lime pie I have had in 9 years since my gran passed. It was heaven. I highly recommend coming here you won’t regret it.
Smaa El Nagar (Smsm)
I am really hard to please person but they are super. the made a mistake and bring us 6 people combo instead of two people combo and even after they figured out the served all salads and fries that come with 6 people combo
Katrena Kugler
We love Lavash! We always get the chicken with rice and onion slices and that amazing cream on the side. It's just delicious. I'm sure that, just like any great restaurant, everything is equally delicious there. The service is very good and it's a very international place.
Brocky Pullins
We had the most amazing dinner at Lavash Cafe last night. The lamb chops were amazing!! The way they marinate it takes away any game taste there might be. The red snapper was also great and the rice and pita bread were excellent. The staff is very friendly and the desserts are very good too!!!You place your order when you walk in and then are called up to get your meals. So, it’s a very nice casual place to get a very good meal. I’m so glad we had dinner there and will be going back again.
Ala'a Al Atari
Best food in town, you must try and Naser doing great job
Ravi Choudhuri
Lavash Cafe is hands down some of the best food experiences I’ve had. Every time I go to Columbus or know people going to Columbus, I immediately go or tell others to go to Lavash to get a kebab and garlic sauce fix.
The quality of the food is incredible, and you can tell each dish is made thoughtfully and fresh. Don’t get me started on their home made hot sauce, I literally put it on everything. The customer service there is also amazing, some of the nicest people and so helpful when I say I’m allergic to certain nuts.
The desserts are like a French pastry chef comes in from their Michelin rated bakery and makes them, they are so good. Coffee cheesecake with a light fresh chocolate swirl? How can I say no?? Probably the only thing I don’t put their hot sauce on though (it would probably still all be so tasty).
I can go on and on, but from years of going to Lavash I’ve never had a bad experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone with any type of dietary restrictions, want to eat healthy, and make your wallet happy. You won’t be disappointed!!
Linde Stowers
This is hands down the best Mediterranean spot in Columbus. The hummus perfected, so smooth and creamy I would consider taking a bath in it. To top it off, the shawarma sandwich was so good I almost cried because I finished it too quickly. If you are looking for a delicious and amazing experience I highly recommend Lávash. If I could rate 10 stars I would, 5 just doesn’t do it justice!
Ignacio Gomez
This is by far one of the best GREEK RESTAURANTS in Ohio... Great salads 🥗 👏 Great Lamb beef, chicken and steak beef make sure you get your garlic paste on the side and some pita bread, good desserts 🍨 also 😋 😀 👌 👍 😉 😄 …
Andrea Ward Ross
I never let a week go by without Lavash. The food is exceptional, the people are even more so. The food has been consistently delicious for nine years. The service is warm and friendly. The atmosphere is bright and casual. What more could you ask for? The regular menu never disappoints. The daily specials are very much worth a try. The hummus and baba are the best I have had. Pair these with the house made bread and you have an unbeatable combination.
DRayStats
I told one of my staff to pick us up some fish for lunch. They went to Lavash, and I can tell you the fish was exactly how I like it. Corn meal, flaky, seasoned perfectly. I recommend you give it a try!
Robert Huffman
I have been coming to Lavash for almost five years. The past six months I have been ordering much more often due to Covid. I rarely have received something I haven't liked off the menu...and I have honestly tried most of their dishes. Their desserts are great too! Definitely one of the best mediterranean restaurants in Columbus.
Dominique Royal
I am a regular customer here and the service/food is ALWAYS incredible which is why I keep coming back. Doesn’t really matter what you order because it’s all delicious, but My favorites are their lamb chops and chicken keifta. If you like spicy food, I highly recommend trying their homemade hot sauce 😍! It has a nice blend of flavor and heat! My mother pretty much lives off of their house blend coffee ☕️! The fresh hummus and peta are easily the best I ever had! The deserts are insanely good too (carrot cake, baklava, and rice pudding are my fav). And on top of all that the staff are super friendly and keep the place spotless. What is there really left to say! You can thank me later! 😏
Alex Carter
God this place is delicious. If you're smart you'll order the daily special. This place receives 4 stars only because the prices are totally outrageous. Expect to spend $20.00 per person. You will have leftovers for a few days, but for a carry out/pickup place, the food is incredibly expensive. Owned by the same family forever, this place is a must go if you're ever on north high street.

This was a great place to go for lunch today! They come out right to your car to deliver the food. We got the chicken shawarma sandwich, small hummus, black bean hummus, falafel, and pistachio baklava for dessert. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! Definitely going back!
Tim Jordan
We are not residents of the Columbus area. We were in town for business and were looking for a lunch place that served great Mediterranean food. I looked on Trip Advisor and found this place. It was truly outstanding! The food and service were exceptional! We will be returning on our next trip to Columbus.

By far the best authentic Mediterranean food in Columbus. Their food is consistently delicious, their employees are super friendly, and they are always giving back to the Clintonville community. Lavash is my go-to restaurant when I want a warm, filling meal made with high-quality ingredients! Everything on the menu is great but I particularly love the chicken shawarma sandwich with a side of fries and black bean hummus.
Zeeshan Khan
Always an amazing experience here, and delicious food. Brought my family who was visiting and food was perfect as always. Owner? was walking around and making sure everyone was satisfied. They even threw even some spicy hummus in on the house - it was amazing! Since moving from northeast USA I’ve noticed ratings for businesses in the Midwest in general are overrated on Google. Maybe people are happier here? Lavash, however, deserves every bit of its high rating, if not even higher.
Yane Guzman
Very good food. Just be careful to be very clear with the staff when you have food allergies.
Raisa Mahbub
Just came into Columbus to visit friends and they suggested Lavash for lunch and I’m SO happy they did. Lavash is the one of the best restaurants I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a ton of places. The food is fresh with amazing quality. We tried over 5 dishes and all were incredible, especially the lamb chops and baba ghanoush. They get their spices straight from Palestine and it really shows, and probably the most flavorful Mediterranean food I’ve had.
On top of the perfect dishes, the service was phenomenal. You’re treated warmly and we were given thoughtful recommendations. Will definitely be going back without question!
Catalina Pilar
This is the best customer service I’ve experienced since I moved to Ohio a few weeks ago. The entire team tries to get your order for you ASAP and they ALL do everything they can to remember your name. Thanks for making my experience memorable!
Jennifer Popovics
The food here is amazing. Especially anything with hummus or lamb! The service is great as well. If you are visiting Columbus, do yourself a favor and give it a try!
Vincent Sansait
The decor and furnishings in the restaurant is pleasant. During lunch rush, it might seem like there's not enough but don't worry. There's an extra room with additional seating. The service is great and the food comes out fast. The food is always delicious. I got the beef shawarma at medium when I went.
Adam Benway
Cool place to eat, and plenty of room to bring several friends. Lots of options and the employees are always helpful if you don't know what to order. The portions aren't huge and there are a lot of dessert or pastry sort of options that are worth trying. Good lunch spot since they have a lot of lighter options compared to many places.
Melissa W
I visited for the first time the other day and I tried the shwarma sandwich and it was amazing! I love how citrus-y the grape leaves were too. They were busy but the service was quick. Very clean. Definitely coming more often!
Dominic Spiezio
The gyro entree was really good. I was pleasantly surprised with how large the portion size was compared to the cost.
Ngone Fall
The restaurant was AMAZING!!! It was my first time there with my mentor and the experience was positive all around. The Turkish coffee with baklava was a fantastic way to end my lunch course. Highy recommend for everyone of all ages! Good prices for top quality food!
Elmer Brown
Terrific Middle Eastern Cuisine restuarant, we ordered the mixed grill platter that feeds 6-8. Great experience, we all tried different things for the first time. My favorite was the lamb chops, grilled and seasoned to perfection.
Ben Kenzer
One of my favorite places to get delivery during COVID! Great portion size and always super tasty. I love how generous they are with their servings of pita bread, and am obsessed with their falafel platter.
Cate Downing
Customer service 10 out of 10
Flavorful fresh food 10 out of 10
I love it here! 🤤 …
Phoebe Low
Great food with a daily vegetarian special. The portions are a decent size and come packed with flavor. My favorite is the vegetable stew. And don't forget their black bean hummus!
The atmosphere is pretty calm and the dining area feels spacious. Unlike a lot of other restaurants in the area, Lavash Cafe engages with the community through occasional charity drives and bulletin boards of local events. The only downside is the parking availability. I can't fault the restaurant for that because they have their own parking lot with ample space for exclusively for their customers... but some people take up the spaces even though they are going to other places.
Ryan Aggabao
Excellent Mediterranean style food, with wide varieties of dessert of the same vein. Outside tables were first-come-first-serve and with the weather on the day of my visit being 80 degrees, much sought after. The owner walked around and joked with customers. Parking is about on par with a medium-sized location in Clintonville. With the crowd, it was a bit challenging to walk up and get water and utensils.
Will most definitely come again!
Sam Pollock
Great middle-eastern cuisine, very casual setting and you go to the counter to get your order after placing it. Preparation is usually very quick. Many great things to eat, but have a favorite lamb chops dish and a skewer of grilled shrimp. The staff is great and cheerful. Ask for the spice to top your rice and meat with, sumough,or sumac, a red, ground spice that has a unique flavor, but is kept behind the counter. Just sprinkle a pinch on! Place may seem pricey when you first look at the menu, but once you have eaten, you know why. Desserts are mostly baked and plentiful. Don't leave without some, even if that means taking the desserts to go!
Francis Roberts
Delicious food, attractively prepared. We have eaten at Lavash many times and always been pleased with our selections. Staff are friendly. The owner has greeted us several times, warmly. For a tasty meal, especially with friends.
Hayden Palmer
Best Mediterranean restaurant in town. Staff is friendly and helpful, the owner is very hands on- (Lavash is his baby..) so the food is consistent, equally fresh and delicious. I've tried most of the menu. I've never been disappointed.
eClips
We really like this restaurant. It's mostly meat and rice. I have seen a few vegan items on their specials screens. They have a few simple salads, a soup, hummus, gyros, fries and a few other Mediterranean staples. We have not had a bad meal yet, although we have had meals that we felt were over done/dry, but nothing awful. I would tell you the recipes were very authentic. They do attract a diverse crowd, and many immigrants that dine here. They have teas and fountain drinks. I have seen drinkable yogurt. I don't think they serve alcohol. I'm not sure if they serve it, but I have not seen coffee here. I also have not asked. They have a number of pastries here. Mostly phyllo types, but I have seen cakes and cookies too.
Annie Shmookler
Superb food. Customer service is always excellent. Cannot say anything negative about the Cafe. Will continue to order and please support our local businesses!
K Liriano
Best Kebab's outside of NYC. Absolutely phenomenal food. And when you order a family platter, you will get a very large quantity. Hard to believe the quality is also on par with the quantity. The attitude of the workers could be better, but as with most Middle-Eastern places, don't hold your breath expecting to be pampered.
Chris Phillips
My family and I decided to eat at Lavash Cafe one Sunday afternoon. And I'm glad we did! The food and the service was excellent! The employees were very nice and helpful. The chef even came out to greet us at our table. I had to get up and shake his hand because his food was absolutely delicious. Lavash Cafe has easily become one of our favorite places to eat in Columbus. Have you been? If not, then go! You will be glad you did.
Neil Seguin
I've been going to Lavash for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. Their catering is sure to impress any crowd. The people, food and service are the best in Columbus.
A Zacher
Outstanding! There has not been one selection I have not devoured and throughly enjoyed. BEST Hummus, bread is warm and fresh, lamb chips cooked perfectly.
Nat Hill
Always amazing. The meals and desserts are fantastic
Amanda Woods
Love love love. Friendly owners will encourage you to taste new things. The gyros are the best around here; I love the lavash wrapping, which they grill, instead of traditional pita. Great hummus. Pretty patio, but I wish they'd enclose it again!
Karen Zhu
best greek restaurant in town!! Love the lamp. Everything lamp is good. The ref fish(forgot what it's called) looks kind of scary but taste fantastic!! Would recommend all my friends to come!!
Sam Hamed
I love this restaurant! I go here almost every week! The food is great!! I been taking all my friends and family to try the foods! They are all great with they service! I really recommend this restaurant for family night, date nights, birthdays, and more... My name is Sam Hamed
Price means nothing when it comes to quality.
Abdullah Alshomrani
The morals of the employees are very classy and their food is beautiful.
They have multiple choices of foods
There is a very very good place to pray.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
Greg Swan
Decent food but more expensive than it was worth. I had a fried snapper, it was ok, hummus was good, and my wife liked all of the food more than I did. Lamb kabob sandwich we had too, it was ok, nothing to get excited about.
The desserts were good to great though. Pistachio cake was great, and a good selection of baklava and baklava-like things that I enjoyed and bought a bunch of.
Stefan Sanderson
One of the best customer service experiences you can have. Very Friendly, excellent food, and they always seem to just give me free stuff. Family owned. You can't beat the family atmosphere and warm staff. It makes the food even better than it already is!
Joseph Brenneman
The Beef and Lamb Schwarma is always great but today the wrap was extra great. Very crispy. They also brought it to me instead of waiting for the pager to go off.
Plenty of room to eat and get a little work done. Great atmosphere.
Ismail Nas
This is an OK place. There is nothing wrong with the food, it’s just that everything we ordered was bland and kind of cold. The interior atmosphere is cool, we went as a large group of people twice, no one gave us the ‘keep quiet’ look. Overall, I suggest you can try other Mediterranean restaurants around if you are looking for good food.
Wendy Seri
This is by far my favorite restaurant in Columbus! Their chicken kebab is the best in town!! They cook the chicken perfectly and the garlic sauce on the side is to die for! They have an abundance of other tasty options for veggie and meat lovers alike. The service is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, not stuffy but still classy. My go to place when I wanna really enjoy my food!! Thank you Lavash for making me love chicken again!
A R
great vegan food. amazing falafel. hummus is super creamy and good. but some lettuce in my sandwich did not look fresh. not a fan of that but otherwise it was good food.
Mattheus Falhouse
I just randomly picked this restaurant from TripAdvisor when I was in town on a Sunday evening. It was excellent! The food was perfectly flavored and was not overrun by garlic, which happens so many Mediterranean restaurants. I had gyro platter salad and rice. All the items tasted fresh and salad was really crisp and had excellent dressing. The inside is supercasual and cramped, but I was able to eat outside on the patio which was nice. I would strongly encourage Keri out in most cases if it was crowded.
Nick Allen
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus. The food is simple, satisfying, and always well executed. The tabouli salad, red snapper, and hummus are some of the best I've had anywhere. The service staff is always helpful and quick with a smile. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
gavin shryock
About six months ago my seemingly never ending search for grade A Mediterranean takeout ended after my discovery of Lavash. This establishment has a quick order turn, allowing the food to still be warm while it’s presented at the door. With every order the team at Lavash checks every box. Although I am a vegetarian(so I haven’t tried everything), everything thing I’ve ordered has only been satisfactory. The portion sizes are large, so if you’re like me and can’t resist good food sitting in front of you, dish out your meal and put it away immediately. Unless you’re ready to eat yourself into a comatose state, unsure that you’ll be able to stand after the food is sadly gone.
This is hands down one of my favorite places to order from, and a staple in the diversification of the Columbus food scene. Do yourself a favor, and place an order. I’m confident you won’t be displeased.
Thanks for greatness Lavash!
Kolyn Flad
Excellent oriental cuisine. Amazing sweets. Thanks to the workers. As well as the original design of the room.
Courtney Bailey
One of my favorite spots for tasty Mediterranean food. cool location to meet with coworkers. there was fast, efficient, and courteous service. it has an awesome feel to it. i see why this place has a lot of good reviews.
Alexis H
This place is amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned sooooo well! We received a catered order with a little bit of everything any NOTHING disappointed!
Jennifer Dutiel
We absolutely adore Lavash. It's one our favorite places in town to eat. Their hummus is soooo good, as is their falafel sandwich! We sometimes treat ourselves to their Moussaka when it's on special, and my goodness what a treat that is! Their staff is always so courteous and friendly, too! 100% recommend!!!!!
Sean Stevens
I came here a few months ago and I loved it. I can't wait to go back to try more of their menu. I got a shwarma and it was the best one I've had!
Norma Lopez
The food is VERY tasty and the service is amazing. They treated my friends and me like we were special people. I don't think I have ever been treated that way in any restaurant. Not sure if it was the owner, but we got to try free fries, and hummus.....delicious.
Thank you Lavash Cafe!
David Franken
The Lavash Cafe is a welcoming and comfortable Mediterain restaurant. I don't mean that to sound generic, it is simply a very casual atmosphere to get terrific food in a very deli like situation.
The Lavash is not formal dining, but it is an ideal casual date night. And the food is outstanding.
I strongly recommend the Lavash as a dining experience that could easily become a regular spot.
Sarah Snyder (Valkryria)
Good local restaurant. Fast preparation for carry out orders. Mmm baklava
Sandi Zerega
We always find Mediterranean food in every city we visit and Lavash has the best Falafel I have ever had. Absolutely delicious. And they have Turkish coffee! Will definitely come here again before we go home. ❤
Mohammad Shalash
Best Mediterranean restaurant out there
🙌🏽🙌🏽 …
Alison Jacobs
BEYOND amazing service and food!! My favorite Mediterranean restaurant in town, hands down. Quick service, AMAZINGLY huge food portions, great prices, all around fantastic! Definitely recommend the hummus and baba ghanoush appetizers 😋 ALSO plenty of vegetarian friendly options! …
Alex Carter
One of my favorite restaurants in Columbus. The service is unparalleled and everything on the menu is a 10/10. If you're a new customer they will give you an order of their award winning hummus for free! I particularly enjoy the fattoush with chicken on top, but you can't go wrong! They always are so friendly to their customers!
Adnan Muzaffar
I have going to Lavash for more than 6 years. I have never been disappointed. The food is always tasty and cooked fresh. Just try it and you'll love it. Highly recommended Mediterranean food in Columbus.
Rita Rizkala
I'm usually very picky when it comes to Mediterranean food (nothing beats mama's)....But this is the REAL deal! Awesome food that'll leave you craving more! Warm and welcoming environment, and the owner is super genuine and kind! One of my favorite spots in Columbus.
Sarah M
Very good food, we had the gyros, falafel balls appetizer, and a Greek salad. the atmosphere was very classy. And the staff was very friendly. They gave my son a free cupcake with our order.
Benjamin Speer
Awesome place, the staff is very kind!
L G
Best place for Mediterranean food in Columbus, I'd say! Good prices, fantastic baklava. It can get pricey tho if you're not careful. I really wish they had a nutritional value chart on their website, though! I often see the owner cleaning tables and speaking to guests.
Nasir Mehmood
This is a good Mediterranean food location, offering a lot of good variety of foods. I really like the food but the prices are a little too high. That’s why I’ll rate them 4 stars!
Justin MCDONALD
Been going here for years. All menu items are good. Ayrab, fresh carrot juice and Turkish coffee offering are unique. Great baba and hummus. Lentil soup is solid. Place runs like a machine when the owner is in. Used to be my favorite restaurant. Have had a couple cold meals recently otherwise this would be a 5.
Mandie Witkowski
My husband and I have been coming here since it opened. Their food is fresh and tasty. We are both vegetarian, almost vegan and there are actually a lot of choices for us. And the tabouleh! Oh my...tabouleh is one of my favorite foods and it's the best I have ever had. This place is always busy when we come, but I think it's worth the wait. Also as many others have stated it is rather expensive, but it's excellent quality and everything is really good.
Richard Knight
I got a Shawarma on Pita bread. It wasn't bad, but I thought it was too expensive.
I paid $8.01 for it. This was one of the cheaper items on the menu. The atmosphere
is like a fast-food restaurant, but the prices are certainly more like a sit-down restaurant.
Very clean inside and fast service, but not the best restaurant I have been to, but certainly not the worst, either.
MATTEY
Lavash is one of the best restaurants in the city. from the moment you walk in the door you feel like family. the food quality is always top notch and the team is always doing whatever they can to make sure you have a positive experience.
Seantea Corvi
The moment you walk into Lavash Cafe you feel welcomed, & you also get smacked in the face by all the amazing flavors & spices they use in their food. Lavash makes all of their food fresh daily. I always order the chicken Kabob entree with a side of Tabouleh & extra hot/ garlic sauce on the side.
Y’all the garlic sauce is insane I put that stuff on EVERYTHING!!
Then I follow my lunch or dinner up with one of the amazing homemade pasties by their lovely baker, she comes up with the best creations. The pistachio cake has my heart forever.
Every time I’m in I am greeted table side by the owners or one of their lovely employees asking me how my dining experience is & being in the restaurant industry myself that is so important to me.
Although I miss dining in at Lavash during quarantine I order take out very often & they have been graceful with the hard changes they have had to make. My order is never missing any items & they quote you the right time for pick up & bring it right out to your car. Even with the masks on you can tell they are smiling!
BEST Mediterranean in Columbus <3
coco cook
Very good authentic food. Turkish coffee spiced with cardamom just like it's done over there. Pistachio baklava buttery and not so sweet the way it should be. Sorry we took up the big table for so long and thank you for being so patient even when it was getting busy.
Ben Oliveto
Lavash is AMAZING! I usually get the chicken shawarma which comes with a killer garlic sauce. We always get a large spicy black bean hummus with pita to eat though out the week. It usually always lasts only 3 days. I can't even begin to describe how good it is. I highly recommend trying them out. Hopefully once covid passes you can go in, because by the counter sits a display of countless desserts. Once you see those you know what you're in for.
Valencia Williams
This food was amazing, we traveled through from Atlanta and had the best food ever. This place is a must try..Its great...
Jose Cruz
This restaurant is on point. Great service, excellent food, fantastic atmosphere. The owner strikes up a conversation with everyone, super social. I highly recommend Lavash. Order anything and you won't be disappointed. It's a 30 minute drive we make repeatedly.
John Ewalt
From reading reviews we expected better quality food. Compared to other Mediterranean cafes such as Tazikis or Zoes, the food here was subpar. The lamb was over cooked and dry, and the rice was boring. The best part of the meal was the small salad. We did enjoy the outdoor seating.
PS we did eat there while driving through Columbus. To repeat, this place was not up to the standards of other quick service Mediterranean restaurants.
Dean Pastore
I have been here before food is always fresh very tasty and pina colada smoothie is outstanding and when I mentioned that I did not get pitas with my dinner I was given extra and a complimentary hummus.
Mandi Fetters
Outstanding food and service! Ordered yesterday for delivery through door dash and it arrived quickly, piping hot. Our food was so flavorful and fresh. Thank you Lavash for always making delicious food!
Mohammad Umar Khan
Great food! Ordered takeout and it arrived promptly. The staff were wearing gloves and everything was wrapped and clean.
Great place, will go again in the future!
Kenneth
I love trying a lot of the Mediterranean/Arabic places in Columbus and Lavash is the one place I keep coming back to. This place actually has authentic food unlike other so called Mediterranean restaurants that populate Grandview. Top tier food. I have yet to find any place than can compete with their scharma and also their hummus as well.
E. Bell
First time trying Lavash. Recommended by our dentist and his staff. Very good! Moroccan Chicken, rice and salad for me, shrimp kabob wrap sandwich for my husband. Free humus on the side. Have already recommended to someone and we aren't even finished with our meal.
Frank Sasso
Always very good food and the service is great too. DoorDash messed up a recent order (not Lavash’s fault at all) and when I called the restaurant, they quickly offered to fix it at no charge and went out of their way to be helpful!
vick Express
Tasty food, but seems like their raised their prices. I can recomend this place of you like Turkish food. Its definitely better than "cafe Istanbul" , little but pricey, but if you are coming with a company of 4-6 people you can take and share big plate for only 75$ . They have best coffee around .
Brianna Stack
Lavash is a wonderful pillar of the Clintonville business district. The food is fresh, delicious and just about everything is made in house from the hummus to the garlic sauce. Not to mention all the wonderful vegan options! Having been an employee and a customer I would recommend Lavash for anything from a casual lunch to a big family dinner.
Nizar Daboul
Great meditation food at reasonable prices.
Excellent service and super friendly staff.
Strongly recommend the meat or the chicken shawarma.
R M
Sooo good ! Had the best Ever Shawarma sandwich (lamb & beef) and Kibbeh !!! ! They have shaded comfortable outside dining area which is now just waiting and pick up during Covid. I felt that they provided a very clean and respectful environment . . Food was ready in the time they estimated.
Sami Duran
I used to take my entire family here once a week. Then the food became less and more expensive. Now we go there maybe once in 2 or 3 months. Nonetheless, their food is delicious and if you can afford, I would recommend it!!
Their lamb chops are my favorite!
Dm S
Absolutely the best Lebanese soul food in Columbus.
Maria Wolever
This has been on my go-to list for a long time. The food is fresh, healthy and delicious. The location is convenient, airy and bright. And the people great all around.
M N
Great food nice staff
Teresa Jaskowiak
There is nothing bad about this place. The staff gave my son a tour of their prayer room, and they stop to say hi every time we are there, even if it's just to buy pita (a huge package made in house for $4!). I brought some Jordanian friends who came in skeptical and left impressed. Best all around experience!
Jessica S
This places is my favorite Lebanese Restaurant in all of columbus!! I don't live that close anymore, but I try to stop in when in the area. The food is wonderful and the customer service is excellent. If there is one dish I recommend it's the spicy black bean hummus! Yum! 😋
Also, Congrats Lavash on 10 years! 10 years ago during my junior year of college I stopped in by accident (I intended to go to Aladdin's) and instantly knew this was a good mistake. Always excellent food and service!! Thank you for 10 years Lavash :)
Liz Spadafora
This is one of me and my husband’s favorite restaurants in town! The food is great, and we recently tried a chocolate cheesecake dessert and it was amazing.
Mahmoud Aboukar
The food was so delicious, the staff was so nice and friendly.
Cristy Ortiz
This was my first time here, and it will not be my last. Everything was amazing, from the regular and spicy black bean hummus to the chicken shawarma. Outstanding is an understatement! Moreover, hearing this as the first time my daughter and I had visited, the owner brought us out a complimentary cashew dessert that was delicious! This is a definite must go to!!! #LavashCafe
Shelby Backman
I highly recommed ordering from here if you want some awesome authentic Medditeranian cuisine.
All their food is delicious, but here are my favorites:
Their bread is fantastic-- homemade and fluffy, and the tabouli is one of the freshest I've ever had.
For main courses, chicken kabobs are really well grilled, and yet juicy; and the beef and lamb kefta with rice really flavorful too.
And for dessert, get the baklava.
Lauren Johnson
It was pretty good. I ordered the falafel sandwich and it was enjoyable. I didn't care for the stuffed grape leaves as they are served cold and I prefer them to be warm. Overall, I'd give this place another try.
Melissa DiFrango
The hummus is always a must when we come here. Their sandwiches are huge. This past time I had the gyro on their flat bread and there was so much meat, I was stuffed after 1/2 of the sandwich. It's definitely a place to go.
Bob Schreiner
Great Food and Service. We look to eat at Lavash every time we visit our son in Columbus
Lisa Kumar
I would give the food 10 stars. So delicious. But the people are rude. 😒 Sent a text saying the order was ready then the lady accused us of arriving too early. She was mean. Yuck. …
Nathan Breneman
Where do I even begin. The food is the best in Columbus. Not just in it’s class but overall. Service is fantastic. Always polite and helpful. Prices are normal but better once you see the portion you get. The owners are always nice and talk to you.
Zaineb Viqas
I ordered Kibbeh and fattoush salad. I though the salad was priced steeply at almost $10. However the tastes were good. They sell an amazing Red snapper for $20. However, it looked quite big for one person but did not order. The table on my side did and it looked delectable. I would definitely try it when I come with my family.
Karen Deeter
Super delicious, as always. The staff are friendly and helpful. I love, love, love the chicken shish-kabob with the saffron rice. I never pass up an opportunity to go to Lavash!
Mo Yates
Food was phenomenal! Flavorful, Fresh and Quick service. Lavash is a MUST TRY if you’re in Columbus Ohio! Highly recommend.
Anessa Pennington
This was my first time at Lavash. I'm very picky about Middle Eastern food, but they delivered. The hummus, kibbeh, and chicken shawarma are amazing. The desserts, too. Great customer service and clean space.
Rachel Flowers
The food and atmosphere is always good. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Great place for authentic mediterranean food.
vern egli
Absolutely great place for Middle Eastern food. We eat here whenever we’re in town. Their big platters are great for family dinners and give everyone a great sampling of many fares
Keelan Lang
Stopped for a quick bite to eat on our way through and were honestly blown away. The best falafel I've ever had. They also have an amazing selection of baked goods, kabobs, and daily specials.
Bartek Bucher
Perfect food, excellent portions. Quick service with great quality. My favorite Mediterranean food in Columbus. Must try!! Love this place.
Robin Shah
Great tasting food. Pita is made there and it's really good, we have eaten falafel there and taken carry out. There spicy black bean hummus is delicious as well. We have tried there desserts which are very light and tasty!
Zaynab Amin
Lavash has always and will always be a Columbus staple. It's the go-to mediterranean restaurant my family has frequented for more than a decade, whether for a special occasion or a quick lunch. Absolute favorite is the mixed grill platter to get a taste of everything (and has enough to go around for my family of 7), but if you aren't going with a big group I recommend the chicken shawerma with a side of hummus and fattoush. I recently moved from Columbus and Lavash is definitely the #1 restaurant I am missing!
Grace Torres
very good! went with my family we got falafel for an appetizer and kefta and lamb for our meal!
Debra Keller-Perry
The hummas is incredible, as is the tabouli, which I almost always get there. Desserts are beautiful and tasty. Service is always friendly, prompt and quick. Portions are very generous. Atmosphere is casual and calming. And, the owner is a HUGE supporter of Public Schools. When he found out I am a teacher, he sat and had a wonderful conversation with me about the value of Public Education. This is my Go To Place for Middle Eastern Food. Love it!
Kate Morton
Still the very best Mediterranean. The Latif family has created a fantastic atmosphere where everyone is treated like family. I've been coming here for years when I was introduced to the restaurant by my great neighbors, Lavash was my husband's and my first date, and we celebrate our daughter's birthdays here because it is her favorite place to go. My very picky children love Lavash's food, especially the black bean hummus and falafel. The staff is very friendly - Hachim was the best! Also I am vegetarian, and I consider Lavash to be very vegetarian friendly. They are good about letting you know if something isn't vegetarian or gluten free. Try the hot sauce! We only wish this place would open a restaurant in Dublin so we could eat here as often as we used to.
Siavash Azari
I love their food. Their Baba Ghanoush and Hummus is amazing. As a vegetarian I like their falafel sandwich and their vegetarian platter as well. The desserts are amazing. And the staff are great. They have a nice loyalty program too.
Aaron Perrault
The best hummus I have had since I moved to Columbus. The kefta was great. My wife loves the lentil soup. I might come back for lunch on Monday and get the gyro platter. Looks amazing.
Suada Abumaye
We ordered something wrongly. The owner and employees handled the situation promptly and kindly. They offered to replace it with what we wanted. Amazing customer service! We left pleased. Don’t hesitate coming here.
Sarah L
Best Mediterranean spot in Columbus! I ordered lavash for curbside pickup and the process was seamless. Staff was wearing masks as well as gloves. I’m giving 5 stars because I have tried several items at lavash and you can’t go wrong with any. A few of my favorites include chicken kabob, the black bean hummus, and the lentil soup. Will definitely be back!
Kenneth Moody
This is probably my favorite Mediterranean place in town. The kabobs here are perfect in the hummus is outstanding. they just opened up more seating area and they're outside seating is available. Definitely worth checking out.
Dina Tayim
My go-to halal spot in c-bus! Friendly staff and delicious food - every time!
Madison Wright
If you haven’t been to Lavash, do yourself a favor and run, don’t walk. Everything I’ve had from here is amazing (chicken shawarma is my favorite), the employees are all incredibly kind and always have a smile on their faces.
Kyle McClafferty
The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is great! When the owner is there the experience is even better since he brings so much love to his customers! Even the French fries are great... Which are obviously not Mediterranean....
Egi Agolli
It's so hard to find good middle eastern food in Columbus but this place is AMAZING. The shawarmas are delicious. Although it is very pricey in comparison to middle eastern restaurants, it is worth it because at least you get tasty food.
Claudia Gaby
The best Mediterranean food in Columbus. I went back from Greece craving to eat Greek food (Mediterranean) and came to this cafe. This place has very similar taste to the food I had back in Greece! Very authentic. Would bring guests here/recommend this place.
John Ferguson
You get a lot of food for your money here and the quality is pretty good. They process orders quickly, and you pick them up from the counter + buss your own table. It's efficient though, and the staff is friendly and attentive.
Brooke Tobe
Best Mediterranean food that I've ever had! Great quality and price! The food is always fresh and the staff is always friendly. Their black bean hummus is to die for!!!

Had the chance to dine here a couple of more times, and my more recent visits have made me need to update this to a 4 🌟 review. Thanks for the hospitality. Presently there is no inside dining, but they will bring food to the patio area for dining. …

This was my first time to the place today. But I wished I have went way sooner. The food was great and the service was even better. There was always someone there to greet me and my family and the owner even came out to our table and talked to us making a real welcoming feeling. A (must go)

one of my favorite places to eat in columbus. never had a bad meal, always delicious. easy to order take out as well. If you don’t order a piña colada smoothie then you’re not living!
Kim Pettingell
The food is fresh made to order and so good! The staff is so awesome that they treat the restaurant like it’s their own. Hard to find! Love this place!

We walked in for the first time and the owner immediately helped us through the menu and got us a hummus on the house! We had lamb kabobs, lamb and chicken schwarma, babaganosh, falafel, tabouleh and assorted desserts. Everything was yummy and this service was awesome! Definitely coming back!

I have never had a bad experience here! I've been visiting Lavash since the day it opened and it continues to get better and better. You can tell there is care and love in every meal they make. I will be a life long customer!!!
Camille Cordero
My favorite place to eat Mediterranean food! The staff is super friendly and overall a very inviting establishment. I love the falafel! It’s so delicious!
Highly recommend the Shawarma sandwiches and Shawarma entree as well. Also, if you’re looking into just grabbing some coffee or have a sweet tooth like me, they have a great variety of desserts for you to choose from and their Turkish coffee is a must! Definitely visiting again. 😋

The best mediterranean restaurant in Columbus 😋 …

Consistantly the best restaurant in the city of Columbus.
Komal Ruparel
Awesome food. We got falafel sandwich and shawarma.
Mint lemonade and mango smoothie were heavenly. And baklava, wow! Everything was amazing. We loved it.
Brad Taylor
Lavash serves delicious Mediterranean cuisine, in a quick dining environment. It is a tad bit pricey, but I believe the price comes with great quality. If you enjoy spicy, ask for their hot sauce, it's great.
Pat Dutson
Wow amazing food. Save room for dessert.
Christopher Haritos
Best. Restaurant. Period. There is no comparison to subway or any other restaurant. Where else can you get fresh lamb, shrimp, or beef cooked to perfection, served with unlimited bread and a salad. By the way, each portion is large enough to feed two sumo wrestlers who haven't eaten in a week. Service is also great. You could eat off the floor if you so desired. Also, the owner, frequently makes rounds throughout the dining room, making sure people have everything they want. Shame to the man who compared this fantastic establishment to subway.

OK came to Columbus on a leisure trip. Was referred to this restaurant by an aquinatance. Good food but not the best.
Ashlee Mason-Cleary
My favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Columbus, perhaps in the united states. They have several great vegetarian options and the staff is always very friendly, efficient and professional. Been coming here for years and will undoubtedly be doing so for many more.
Callie Rozsa
HUMMUS IS AMAZING!! Seriously don’t go anywhere else this place so authentic. Family owned which makes it feel so cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend this place enough- gyro salad is to die for!!
Ken K
Excellent and quick. They also have desert .
E B
Absolutely fantastic food ALWAYS. Friendly always. A great food experience every time I eat at Lavash. I've had just about everything on the menu and it's all perfect!!! Great job Lavash!!!!
Sammy Cruz-Rivera
They got great variety from rice, unique salads, wide range of desserts, and a crunchy and delicious gyro that I would eat any day of the week. It's a little pricey but it's worth it.
Galina Ritchey
Wonderful superb Mediterranean cuisine, beyond my expectations! Even the kids who have a hard time adapting to different cuisine can't wait to go back. A definite must try for everyone!!!
Michael Mulcahy
As a regular at Lavash, I can confidently say that is the most consistently satisfying and delicious restaurant in Columbus. No matter what you order, the food is great and the service is excellent. The restaurant is always clean and even when there are large crowds, the wait is always minimal. I highly recommend Lavash to everyone.
Connie Mahoney
I agree with Gayle. My fiance and I were addicted to the place when it first opened, but now the food and service is completely inconsistent. We usually order to-go, and I can't tell you how many times I've gotten home to find they gave me the wrong meal or a ridiculously small amount (like $9 moussaka that was nothing more than 4 small cubes of eggplant and a ton of rice). I've taken food back and not gotten so much as an apology. I'd love to see the restaurant succeed, but I think the people working there just don't care.
Scott Shumaker
Staff is amazing and the food is delicious. Great select of desserts. Easy to order online and pick up with delivery available as well. Nice patio.
Sana Qadir
I ordered their family platter and it was so good! My family enjoyed it so much that they requested it again. Thank you to the staff for doing such a great job!
Emily mg
One of my favorite Columbus restaurants. Staff is very friendly and remembers us everytime we go. They have some of the best shwarma. And strangely, awesome French fries as well.
Moayad Odeh
The best restaurant I visited in Columbus so far. I highly recommend it. My children very like this place. Thank you for your wonderful service.
Richa Sharma
This restaurant offers pretty good Mediterranean food. I've been to a lot of Mediterranean restaurants in Columbus and this one tastes the most authentic. It might be a little on the expensive side, but I think people should at least try this place once.
D K
Always good. If you go with a sandwich, it's fairly cheap, but the prices can get high on other items. Haven't had anything that wasn't great. Dessert selection is good, baba ganoush and hummus are good, and pitas excellent.
Sy Ham
Delicious shrimp and beef kabobs, but a tad pricey. $40 for one entree (includes small salad, pita and rice), side kabob, baklava, and juice. Everything was yummy but I've found other Greek eateries that are more affordable.
CJ Sloan
Lavash is always a go-to for great food and great people. Lamb chops are my favorite but I haven’t had anything on the menu that I wouldn’t recommend. 10/10!
Jordan Lau
Seriously just amazing! I had the beef kefta wrap and it was INCREDIBLE. Hummus and pita was on point and baklava was unmatched. Highly recommend.
SLB
I had never been here, a restaurant which specializes in Mediterranean food. My friend is a vegan. We both ordered the Lavash Combo which consist ed of hummus, tabouteh, falafel, and stuffed grape leaves. We also had lentil soup. This was a great lunch and I would return.
Shelby Booker
Everything is fresh and made to order right there. There’s a lot ot choose from and you get a lot of food for what you pay. The service is very good. It was my first time there and the girl explained how to order. The cases are nicely displayed and it’s hard not to get desert on the way out.
Dante Elia
Always enjoy the food and service! The baba ganoush, tabbouleh, and kefta sandwich are my go-tos, but I’ve never been disappointed. Lavash is also a great choice for catering.
Valerie Olinger
They have the smoothest hummus I've ever had, it was delicious. Their chicken lemonato is the best I've had in Columbus.
Shannon T.
They got my order wrong a few times, but this last time everything was perfect. The garlic sauce on the chicken shawarma is awesome. The service is a bit lacking in friendliness sometimes though.
Staci Alatsis
The food is really good, and they have great twists on the classics. The layout of the physical cafe is not well planned, it was a little hard to find the restroom and walking through the Order line was difficult with huge trays.
Steve Cabral
This place is definitely a Clintonville community favorite and for good reason! Food is always delicious, service is always amiable and quick, and the prices are juuust right. If you stop by once, you'll be back again soon after.
Bob Griffin
Great service.
Super good food.
Try the spicy black bean hummus. You can never go wrong with beef and lamb shawarma
I love the personal attention given to each and every customer.
Pat Jallaq
This is the best middle eastern restaurant I have ever been to. I love their shish kebab and their baba ghanouj as well as their rice pudding dessert (with cinnamon) The baba tastes as it should, smoked. The meat is always tender. The kibbeh is excellent also. My granddaughters love their falafel. I highly recommend.
Shawn Rajendram
Incredible food and always excellent service. I would easily recommend this place to any of my friends or family! One of my favorite spots in the area.
Shams Faraji Alhaqq
Most cultural fare is similar and in many ways. However, not only does Lavash provide food with above average integrity and that is halal(clean), the kitchen itself is managed with above average cleanliness and with great attention to detail. As a former chef and BOH kitchen manager, I have worked with a variety of companies and menu concepts. There are many restaurants where I have previously been employed that, till this day!, I will not eat from...Lavash provides only the best quality of food and scratch made dishes, such as their lentil and freekah soups, that help them standout and above the competition.
Elvira Petrov
Number one to go where in Columbus. Delicious food.
Cory Miller
Best middle eastern food in Columbus. Maybe Ohio too but I haven’t been to them all. Reminds me of what my grandmother would make us. We love the hummus and tabouleh, it’s so fresh! We couldn’t stop eating. The secret is they also have amazing French fries that you can’t pass up on! It’s a staple meal for our family and we enjoy dining in and order Uber eats to the house. Thanks Lavash for always being consistent and always delivering!
