Lavash Cafe

Absolutely on of my favorite spots in Columbus :) The food, the vibe, the service are all top notch, all of the time. I like to change up what I eat here, but it always includes the Lentil soup and one of their delicious pastries. The Pistachio Baklava is a personal favorite! If you like spicy, then you MUST ask for some hot sauce. You don't know if it's available if you don't ask, and it is SO tasty and goes with absolutely everything on the menu! Also important to note that if you like having hummus in your fridge, it's worth getting a Large Hummus from here instead of the grocery. Price is comparable and the quality is so much better! Both kinds of hummus are delicious, and they come with a generous bag of pita Cannot recommend this place enough :)

Lavash Cafe is a truly great restaurant that isn't just about food--it's about atmosphere, authenticity, and the unmistakable hum of a place that people trust. Every table is full and a steady stream of takeout orders flows through the door. But here's the real mark of excellence: the presence of Palestinian and Arab patrons who know this cuisine better than anyone. When those who grew up with these flavors come back again and again, you know you've found something special.The Spicy Chicken Kefta entrée is a masterclass in balance and boldness. The yellow basmati rice is perfection--light, fragrant, and delicately seasoned. The kefta itself, made from halal ground chicken, is beautifully spiced, tender, and kissed by the grill, delivering just the right amount of heat without overwhelming the senses. Every element on the plate is purposeful: the crisp snap of red onions, the warm, pillowy pita, and then the toum. This garlic toum isn't just good; it's textbook. Velvety, rich, and powerfully garlicky without being harsh, it elevates every bite. And the hot sauce? A revelation. Deep, complex, and fiery in the best way, it ties the entire dish together with finesse. And then there's the Tabouleh--a perfect counterpoint to the boldness of the kefta. This is tabouleh done right, with the freshest chopped parsley, diced tomatoes, fragrant mint, green onions, white onions, and cracked wheat, all dressed in bright lemon juice and silky extra virgin olive oil. It's light, refreshing, and incredibly healthy. The coolness of the tabouleh contrasts beautifully with the spice of the kefta, and it's equally enjoyable with the yellow basmati rice or scooped up with the pita.Beyond the food, Lavash Café embodies the spirit of great hospitality. The staff reflects the diversity of the city itself--Arabs, Latinos, Caucasians--all united by a shared passion for the food they serve. The portions are generous, the quality uncompromising, and the experience unforgettable.Lavash Café isn't just one of Columbus' best Middle Eastern restaurants--it's one of its best restaurants, period. If you haven't been, you're missing out on something truly special.

I ordered UberEats from here while traveling for work. The food was delicious and a great portion size. My only complaint was the delivery person was on her phone, sitting in her car in my hotel's parking lot, with my food and I had to wait extra long for her to get out of her car so I could pick up my order from her; but this was not the restaurant's fault.I ordered the beef/lamb shawarma wrap in lavash bread and the fatoush salad. The salad was a big portion and came with crispy pita chips and soft pita bread. I was able to save the leftover salad to use for a meal the following day. The dressing for the salad was basic olive oil-based dressing, but it all tasted fresh!I would recommend this place!

I had another fantastic meal at Lavash. One of my favorite meals is the shrimp kabob on Lavash bread. Amazing!! It is packed with delicious large shrimp. I added a piece of pistachio baklava to take home. It is the best baklava I have ever had! It had the perfect "kiss" of sweet honey without being overbearing. I took my wife a banana cheesecake and she loved it as well. I love the food and atmosphere at Lavash!

Everything here is great!! From food, to customer service, everything is just fantastic!! We have been to this place few times, and not once did anything in the place disappoint. We ordered various dishes, from spicy chicken Kefta platter, beef kabob skewers, hummus, baba Ghanoush, baklava, Turkish coffee, and etc. Every single dish was absolutely delicious. Few times we went, a gentleman came around (I think he may be the owner) and spoke to us to make sure we were ok and if we liked the food, and also offered by daughter cupcakes. And it wasn't just that gentleman, someone always came around to check up on us to see if we needed anything else.Top notch customer service, delicious food, clean place, plenty of space to sit indoor, with sitting option on the side of the restaurants.... What else can you ask for. Highly recommend!.

Solid Mediterranean food at Lavash Café. Surprisingly convenient parking, more casual vibe on the inside of the restaurant. Seems like it's more fast casual than a sit down Mediterranean restaurant, which I prefer.I placed an order online and picked it up. The online ordering and pick up process was easy. I ordered mousakka, veggie kebab, black bean hummus, and tzatziki. All were tasty, but I would consider them standard fare Mediterranean - it's solid but not the best spices and flavors Ive ever had. Order pick up bonus: they have paper warming bags for pita bread and when you pick up a to go order, the pita stays warm.Restaurant seemed clean, nothing stood out with the service.

Went here for the first time and had an amazing dinner with my family. Great customer service. Food was tasty, good portions and amazing. The ambience was also great with different ethnicities dining together. Love it.

Terrific food in a casual setting with attentive owner recommending what you like. Order and share with your peeps. Everything is delicious.My personal favorite is the Black Bean Hummus (pictured). It is warmly spiced and balanced. Presented as beautifully as a Michelin-Star restaurant, this dish is warmly spicy and balanced. Just exquisite.We also shared the chicken, so juicy and tender, delicately seasoned perfectly.Their vegan options are every bit as flavorful and satisfying as anything that used to have a face, so a great way to recover from the Holiday diet cheat-weeks!

A place where Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors meet with a modern twist. The focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients, combined with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, makes it an inviting spot for anyone looking to enjoy a unique culinary experience. Whether for a family meal, catering, bakery or a quick bite, Lavash Cafe aims to serve guests with care and passion, creating a place where tradition and taste come together. We enjoyed food and welcoming service!

Just updating, because the customer service is top notch. The food quality is great and the quantity is plenty as well. I have been here multiple times now, mostly for pickup. I just wanted to highlight that they are always busy, but even so, they take their time to recognize their shortcomings if any and make it up to the customer. This kind of service builds trust and a creates lifelong customers and I appreciate it!
