Fattoush salad, pretty good overall, and the chunks of pita bread croutons may have been the best part of it
Lentils special. Comes with two kebabs of chicken, rice, hummus, lentil soup and pita wedges.

The food was fantastic and the chicken Shawarma was not unhealthy fried, but prepared very nicely. The coffee which was Turkish style was also excellent. It was a very good lunch and would definitely go again.

Hubby and I stopped at Lentils Mediterranean for a quick light dinner. Hubby ordered Tabouli salad. I ordered Greek salad. We sat at a table in the restaurant, but did not really get table service. Our order was taken and delivered to us, but no check ins or anything. The restaurant was pretty casual, so not sure if this was the norm. Our salads were fine. Decent portions and prepared as typical Mediterranean fast food. Not anything over the top, but decent food at fair price.

Lentils...so far the most decent Mediterranean/Lebanese food this area has to offer, but isn't what I expect.A friend of a friend recommended this place to me, and upon driving up, I was hoping it was a diamond in the rough/hole in the wall type place...but it's not.Ordered the fattoush with chicken, and water. The chicken was said to be shawarma.1. Salad good, pita chips excellent, but missing lemon in dressing2. Chicken decent, but needed more spices, and wasn't prepared/cooked the way I expect for shawarma3. You are not saving money ordering water - they give you a bottle.Also, pricy! Their site reflects differently than what it was in person, and makes Lentils look far more awesome than it was. With smeared/dirty windows, decor that wasn't purposely mismatched - I almost didn't go in, and wanted to leave ASAP.I was also only 1 of 2 tables that dined in...would you want to dine in, based on the above?Overall, sadly, Lentils is the best Mediterranean thus far in the greater Cincinnati area, and it's OK at best. It's not good enough to fend off any Lebanese food cravings I may have.

My wife and I love Mediterranean food and enjoy trying the different places about town. Lentils is paradox for me to review because all the reviews on Yelp and Google were very strong so I was anticipating top notch food. It turned out to just be meh. I ordered chicken shawarma and my wife ordered the gyro platter. My chicken was very dry and lacked flavor, which saddened me because I normally love this dish. The Greek salads were just ok. I can't square in my head how the food I ate was the same as all of the 5 ratings I've seen. Maybe this was a one off day.

Everything was fresh and super delicious! All the sauces are house made, the owner travels back to Jordan frequently to learn new techniques to bring back to his clientele here, and it shows in the good quality and care given in its preparation. If you haven't tried this place, you've done yourself a disservice. The portion size was enormous, in a big eater and I had easily half the meal remaining for tomorrow. Really a gem in the area. Try it today!

Delicious chicken swarma platter and my husband enjoyed his falafel. I'd come back just to enjoy more lentil soup with a Greek salad. They make little house made spiced pita chips to top the soup with. It's delicious.Casual cafe with good Mediterranean food. I will definitely come again.

Delicious Mediterranean diner. The owner Mazen always greets guests with a smile making you feel welcome. The lentil soup with pita croutons is a fabulous & tasty start to any meal. If you like a little heat, I highly recommend the Spicy Gyro, but you can't go wrong with the regular gyro either. Crinkle fries are served hot & crispy with a little seasoning.Simply great experience every time we come here!

The food is average, not great. The hummus order comes with a huge container of hummus but only 1 lonely pita. This is certainly lower than the industry standard.Also please see pictures of how the chicken shawarma platter is advertised vs what I received. I called and they didn't seem to care.

I have been here several times before, whereas the service has always just been so so, the food was generally good. On this occasion the food was just average and the portion sizes in relation to prices seems much lessor.I ordered the gyro sandwich that came out with just a few thin strips of meat (see photo). I inquired about the portion size to see whether or not this was normal and they brought me out some more meat. Only to find out they actually charged me extra for the side of meat.All our meals were just ok. Not sure why I tipped at all, but I always try to support. In regards to general customer service, it's truly lacking. They are not exactly overly rude, but one of the employees simple never smiles and does not generally go out of his way to provide customer service. Just nothing special at all. You just do not see welcomed to come there. Again I always try to support smaller businesses, but I feel this will be the last time I will visit this place.

The food is delicious! We went at around 2:30 so not crowed, the owner (I'm assuming he was the owner) came over to talk to us and gave us some soup to try. Very hospitable with very yummy food!
