👍👍 Covid protocol in place and establishment was clean. I was out in Gahanna this morning and decided to stop in. I was greeted and the Customer Service was informative yet personable.

Just Chicken
Chicken restaurant
👍👍 I tried Just Chicken for the first time today and it was an incredible experience. My order was correct. The food came out hot, fast, and fresh. All of the sauces were incredible. I’m glad we have another option for chicken tenders in Columbus!

Koshary King
Koshari restaurant
👍👍 Never had anything like the Koshery, with its pasta, chickpeas, tomato sauce, fried onions, and spices. But I particularly enjoyed the chicken over rice and the unique, lemony sauce. My 10 year old daughter loves both of them. We will be going back. Wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

👍👍 Really solid new spot. Simple ingredients but well done. Hints of Paulie Gee's on the pizza side, and Wario's on the sandwich side, especially using the same Semolina bread. A+!

WOODHOUSE Bakery + Coffee Shop
Vegan restaurant
👍👍 Came here while spending a weekend in town after 2 years away from Columbus (previous fans of the original Woodhouse location for dinner). The pastries and coffee here are unreal. The best scone and oat milk latte I've ever had - and I am not even vegan! Definitely a great new spot in the Short Nort...

Cento
Italian restaurant
👍👍 This is an amazing venue for a date night. Get an outdoor seating if you can, but the indoor is as impressive. White tablecloth service is impeccable and the food/drinks/dessert are all excellent. Finally, my bathroom had a portrait of the handsome Marcello Mastroianni. You will love this place!
