Boaz Cafe

I've only been here twice I figured I would grab some lunch since I was near by and it was definitely satisfying because it's a lot different then grabbing a quick bite to eat say from a fast food spot I like that the flavor you can individually taste a lot of places seem to have almost one flavor as your eating so that's a plus it is very good the food was great and it wasn't very busy a few people dinning in but not noisy or loud so that's good and the girl that took my order was awesome very polite and helpful with the menu will definitely be back again. Highly recommend this spot.

Want to have great Lebanese food with a choose your own adventure style a la Subway or Chipotle? Go no further than the doors of Boaz. You can create your own bowls or choose from their rolls or wraps. Their appetizers are fresh and delicious. The smoothies are refreshing and energizing. You can get an energy juice if that's more your speed. The bright, open atmosphere is conducive to relaxing and just enjoying the amazing, fresh food and the people are so helpful and attentive. They will bend over backwards to make sure you have the best time possible. I just wish they would expand their children's offerings as I have one VERY picky eater. Anytime I am at the Westside Market, I make it a point to stop in. You should, too!

In my search for a quick lunch, I came across Boaz near the Westside market. Interior was very clean and yellow, which I enjoyed. I was greeted by the cashier and he gave a quick run down of how things worked. Basically, you can order entrees or build your own bowl.I opted for a build your own and got grilled chicken, brown rice, baba ganoush, along with various toppings. I also got za'atar fries because again, french fries are a weakness. The bowl came out very colorful and well presented. Taste was great and I would say they were very clean. Flavors came out pronounced and not overly spiced or anything. The za'atar pita chips were def my favorite topping to add a bit of textural contrast and some pops of flavor. The fries themselves were also good and went well with the garlic sauce.Again, just a great build your own Lebanese bowl. I was able to share my meal with my partner and we both came away full!

So delicious! My husband kept recommending this place and I'm glad I went. Think of fresh healthy brassica meets chipotle style efficiency. The food is less seasoned than brassica but still so tasty. I actually like it a little better because it isn't as heavy. The owner and family who works there are also so polite and kind. Service is a big part of food industry and I would go just to support their business because they were so nice. The restaurant is very clean and you get a view into the cleanliness of the kitchen which is relieving. Highly recommend! The bowl portions are great for a meal without leaving you overly full (I got half leafy greens and half lentils and brown rice). Will be coming back to try their sides and other dishes!

Our family enjoyed a tasty dinner at Boaz Cafe in July 2023 during our 3-night stay in Cleveland. This location has a casual yet hip ambiance - but is very informal. You order what you wish to eat the front register, serve yourself drinks and and then choose a seat. The dishes will come to your table after 5-10 minutes. We enjoyed the spiced cauliflower (recommended appetizer) and had a mix of sandwiches (chicken shawarma) and a salad (beef tenderloin). Overall, it was satisfying and casual - but it felt a bit pricey (most restaurants seem to have raised their prices in 2022 and 2023 due to price inflation). The only blemish was that street parking can be challenging to find during peak times. We got lucky and found street parking about a block away. There's also a paid surface parking lot nearby if it's very crowded. I would come here again on our next trip to Cleveland's Ohio City district.

Good place to grab a quick bite and go. Nice coffee like atmosphere with good fresh ingredients and food that can hit the spot. Definitely much better places to have middle Eastern food in the city but if you just want something quick and healthy for lunch this will definitely hit the spot

This place is solid! It's like a Lebanese chipotle, but so much better, where you can build your own bowl with delicious Mediterranean ingredients and flavors. Everything tastes super fresh and light, so if you have a sensitive stomach like my fiancé you'll leave here happy. We each got a build-your-own bowl and both really liked it. Again, the flavors were great on both of them, and you can customize them to your heart's desire. My lone complaint is the locale. The entrance is so confusing!! There's floor to ceiling glass and the staff laughed at us (in a friendly way!) after we finally figured out how to get in. They said this happens all the time. The staff was absolutely lovely and helpful, seeing that we were able to maneuver our way through the menu given that it was clearly our first time there. Overall great experience, would definitely recommend!

I finally visited Boaz Lebanese Cafe with a friend sometime in late 2021; although, I've actually tried their food before at a private event in the Gordon Green building. I really enjoyed what I had for lunch at that private event (some chicken salad) so I was excited to stop in to their physical space to try something new. Unfortunately, what I ordered was not great.INSIDE -- The atmosphere is nice and has a cafe feeling. FOOD -- I ordered a bowl that had chicken and hummus in it but what I didn't know is that the hummus came overflowing in the bowl. Normally, hummus would come on the side but this time, the small pieces of chicken were almost swimming in the hummus. It was a large bowl filled with hummus. My lunch was just very hard to eat and it didn't taste great. I wish they would have told me that the hummus came inside the whole bowl. The chicken cubes were also not flavoured well. My lunch came with pita bread which wasn't fresh and was hard rather than soft. DRINKS -- They have soft drinks (soda/pop) and smoothies. I ordered some green juice but it didn't taste great. I can't remember the exact drink that I had which goes to show that it wasn't memorable.My rating was going to be a 3 but I honestly couldn't even eat my lunch so a 2/5 rating must suffice. I hate giving low ratings but my experience wasn't pleasant.****- 26/150 total reviews in 2022- 504 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on 14 March 2022

I only stopped in for baklava but was eyeballing their super fresh and fragrant food options. The staff were super helpful and genuinely kind.
