Food Hamati

This is probably the most authentic-tasting shawarma place I could find in the Columbus area so far. It isn't in the best location compared to where I am, otherwise I could eat it routinely. When I first started coming here, the place looked a little rough but they have since made many renovations so they must be doing well. The prices have been creeping up every so often that it is getting to a point where the taste might not be financially worth it. The regular shawarma now is $13 and the shawarma plate is $21. The shawarma plate is a huge portion, however. I didn't take a star away for any of that because I understand inflation is affecting pricing everywhere. I took one star away because, over the several years that I have been coming here, they have NEVER had the food ready within the time frame they gave. I always arrive at the end of the time and still wait at least ten minutes in the store for the food to be ready. One minor note is that they don't always consistently put utensils in the bag so if you really need them make sure you double-check.

I tried this place once very long ago, and I remembered the food being absolutely amazing.However, this time, when I ordered to go from them, the food was disappointing. The food wasn't fresh, and the chicken in the shawarma was smelling bad, and the chicken kefta was very dry.The place is really expensive and their service was very slow. The only thing I loved here was their garlic sauce for shawarma.

I ordered online from the Line Skipping website and came to pick up. You can pay online with card or pay when you get there with cash.Not busy inside at all. One woman was in line in front of me waiting for her pickup order.I had ordered the chicken shawarma platter with rice and fries. When I got to the counter, the staff member told me that it already comes with rice and hummus and that I can always substitute if needed. The online ordering didn't say anything about what the platter came with.The food was alright. The rice was good, but the chicken was dry, as other yelpers said. It did come with a sauce on the side which made the chicken taste a lot better. The fries were bland. Not seasoned enough. Generous amount, imo but I know other Yelpers say the prices have gone up here.The lady in front of me had gotten falafel, so I'd come back and try that or other stuff from the menu.

This is the most outstanding Middle Eastern food that I have in Columbus, and I've tried many of them!We started with hummus and falafel which are usually pretty good indicators of how good a Middle Eastern restaurant is. We were not disappointed as both were excellent and very delicious.For lunch we had kefta wraps and fries, which were also phenomenal. The service was great and everyone was very kind and welcoming. Also very helpful and patient with the scannable menu. The ambiance is fine, very basic with superior food and service. It was nice to see lots of families and groups dining. Prices were reasonable too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We couldn't even get the food. Place opens at 11am. We entered at 11:40am. No one at the counter. You have to use some stupid QR Code/App to order and that system wasn't working properly. Would only allow delivery. Even though there are tables in the place and a sign that says "dine in or carry out". One guy walked out from behind the counter right by us. He didn't say a word. We stood there for a minute and no one came out to greet us. We left.

Surprisingly nice interior. Surprisingly poor treatment of women.And the food was so disappointing. I used to frequent a modest campus schwarma place in the basement of the big white cement hotel just south of Lane. The food was fantastic, and the guy who ran the place was so nice, like an older brother.This dining experience was completely different, and not in a good way. It literally left a bitter taste in my mouth.

This place is hidden in the Cranston center across from Home Depot and Sam's Club on Sawmill Rd. We were craving Middle Eastern food, so just placed an order over the phone. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter with rice and tabouleh as the two sides after seeing the menu online. I wish they mentioned that the shawarma platter already comes with rice on the phone. Knowing that, we could've ordered hummus or something else instead of rice as a side. Also, I did not like that the rice has toasted almonds sprinkled over it. I wish they mentioned that as well.Overall, we found the chicken shawarma extremely dry and not very flavorful. We have definitely had better. The tabouleh was not great either. I had ordered the super gyro wrap, which came with fries. The gyro wrap was the single best part of our order. It was flavorful and the lamb and beef gyro meat was nice. It was nice to have the gyro wrap with the shrak bread they offer, instead of the usual pita bread. The fries were not seasoned at all or special in any way. Added salt and pepper to them after getting home. I would definitely not order the platters here for fear of the meat being overly dry, but would have the gyro wrap again.

This place is think been sold to someone else the food not cooked at all And the service is very bad the people working there they not care about the customers at all when u tell them the food is not cooked can u change it for me he said not if u like it we not change nothing so is very bad experience i hope all of u guys know about this

Tasty, affordable and always fresh food.They are always super friendly and make the food to order. Great place for a quick middle eastern fix, I highly recommend this place!

Very friendly, yummy food! Quiet and nice establishment as well. Ordered the kebab wrap and it was absolutely delicious, so were the fries! Would definitely come back here any time and try new food.
