    I was so excited to try Mediterranean food and was super lucky to find they had gluten free options. The owner’s son has gluten intolerance so they are very knowledgeable. The food was so good and the staff was absolutely lovely.

    Had a lovely evening at this beautiful restaurant with my friends. The food was delicious, and the service was also excellent. We went on Monday because they had a Lebanese night menu and wanted to try that, and it was good. The food was presented beautifully with a quick service, and loved their falafel and baklava. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a good meal.

    Had a lovely time with great service and amazing food. Chris, our server was very informative and helpful in deciding what to get. Prices were good for their portions and it all tasted amazing. The parking situation is alittle difficult. Their drinks tasted just okay but were pretty strong :)

    Have eaten at many Mediterranean eateries. The was chosen because of an event in the area. This establishment did not disappoint. Hummus was made very well. The chicken shawarma was very delicious and spot on. Will become one of our choices to go to with the many events in the area.

    Wow-wow-wow. Celebration of flavors! If you like Mediterranean food, you will love this eatery. Patio or inside seating, great selection of drinks and welcoming service. But when you nail Baba Ghanush, you know your cooking ;) Highly recommend to try their pita pockets or specials if you are really hungry. I wish I can take you to St Louis, MO with me!

    We love Mazah! My favorite of all time is Shish Tawook! It's start with my husband, he is very open about trying something new and I always get only what I have before which was chicken Shawarma and one time he said the Shish Tawook is the first one on the menu it must be good and I ended up ate all his food. It's. So. Good! So full but so light in the same time, very healthy meal. After I ate everything I wouldn't feel guilty at all. Everyone in the restaurant was so nice and kind. We went there a couple times and the service always over the top. The restaurant is always clean even they are busy all the time! If you're around and looking for something delicious and healthy (no greasy!) trust me, this is the place! You won't regret it! I love Mazah!

    If you're looking for delicious, homemade Lebanese food, the Mazah is the place for you. Very authentic--have never tasted food in a restaurant that tasted so close to my grandmother's cooking. The owner and her family are absolutely wonderful! They put their heart and soul into all that they do and they really do treat customers like family. The environment is relaxing and warm and the food comes out fast! If you come on a nice day, be sure to sit on the patio with all the beautiful fresh herbs. Seriously--all the food is amazing, but the kofta and stuffed grapeleaves really shine. Also, they serve baked and raw kibbeh during "Lebanese night" on the first Monday of the month. 5 STARS!

    Family outing but was a little off. Shawarma could be better. Kefta kabob was a little better. Maybe it will much better the next time around.

  • 5/5 Zachariah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything from the hospitality, to the delicious food to the beer selection, it was all amazing!! I got the Chicken Shawarma Small Sampler, which for the price is a great deal to try a little of everything! I also had to get that Kenafi to go, it was delicious! I am definitely making a trip back soon!

    5 stars all around. If you haven't been here you are missing out. I had my buddy and his wife today and we were blessed to have the owners daughter serve us. Absolutely wonderful. Good job Mazah. Everything was great. We will be back with a bigger crowd. 5 stars again. 9/23/23

    Service was great and the staff super friendly! Loved the drink special -- tea with Jameson's and lots of spices! The fries were to die for! Excellent hummus. My only complaint was that the lamb was rather tough and sinewy, which was really disappointing as that was what I was looking forward to most. I was with a group of 8 and everyone else seemed quite happy with their meals.

    The mujadara was overcooked and turned into a brown mush. The portions were small. The cabbage salad was soggy. Otherwise food was ok, nothing special. They ask for a 25% tip by default for counter service. If you are in the area, Mr. Hummus Grill opened nearby and is much better.

    My daughter and I shared the Vegan Feast for her birthday celebration and she had plenty of leftovers to take home. The food is prepared impeccably and their falafel is the best in town. The moistness and spices are incomparable. It was so difficult to decide which desserts to eat, that we got two different ones and split them! I can't wait to go back to Mazah!

    First of all, this is my third time at Mazah. Previous two times here were great 5/5. Owner was kind, friendly, and the food was very delicious. Today, the food was good as usual, but the pita was dry and service was okay. Usually this place have soft and fluffy pita that goes excellent with the hummus. But for some reason, it was pretty hard and dry. I could be wrong, but It felt like they served me an old pita today. I had eaten some leftover pitas that I bought from them before, and it was softer than the pita they served me today. After we finished the food, one of the staff asked me how the food was, and I told her the pita was dry . She offered me a new pita but by then we already finished our food and I didn't want to get the pita.

    Not the best mediterranean food, but it was okay. Most mediterranean restaurants cook while you are waiting, but this one like a fast food. It's already cooked just need to serve. I ordered Chicken kabob and Hummus but it only take them 2min before they hand it to me. The restaurant is very clean neat and organized.

    It was our first time here, family oriented, and exceeded our expectations! Tommy was a great server, and the food was exceptional! God willing, we will be back with the kids sooner than later.

  • 5/5 Stephanie M. 6 months ago on Google
    First time experiencing Mazah Mediterranean Eatery and definitely won’t be the last! The food, wine and service were wonderful. Sophia was extremely helpful and very nice. I was with a couple friends and Sophia suggested that we order the family style combination meal so that we could experience many of the appetizers and entrees. What a great suggestion, everything we ate was delicious! We also tried several wines by ordering flights. What a wonderful experience, I highly recommend Mazah!

  • 5/5 Helly S. 6 months ago on Google
    The food is hot, fresh and tasty. The service is strange in that no one is served at the same time. You get your food when it is ready, whether the rest of your tablemates' food is ready or not. They must not have space or a means to hold items while the rest of the order is being prepared. The interior is lovely. I gave it three stars because the vent was blowing directly in our faces during the entire meal. I do hope that can be rectified. We were a large group and maybe it was only because several tables had to be put together.

  • 5/5 Rebecca M. 5 months ago on Google
    Wow! I went here with a friend and my husband an hour before closing. We were immediately greeted by a waitress with a huge smile and very friendly personality! Not sure what to order, but we each chose the chicken pita, hummus and pita chips and rice. My thought was the servings would probably be small. I was very wrong! The pita was huge! And very delicious! The rice, hummus and pita chips were delicious and plentiful as well. The atmosphere was amazing and the owner stopped by our table and welcomed us and asked if we needed anything else also. We are definitely going back!!! Again and again! I highly recommend Mazah to everyone! 🫓

    They were so very accommodating for our group. Thank you for the kind staff and engaging environment.

    If you want to get robbed this is the place to order from. I was absolutely shocked when my food was just delivered $50+ fees too it to $61.35 and I received 2 not even full size entrée. One in a clear plastic container. That was supposed to be the restaurant week deal for $26. This place is absolutely disrespectful to its customers.

  • 5/5 ann B. 9 months ago on Google
    When shopping next door, I always stop by for a piece of pistachio or vegan/walnut baklava. But last night I was told they had fresh baked bread. I said, "I'll try two!" They picked a desert bread with an inside layer/filling of dates and a hint of coconut. It was not sweet like a donut - it was sweet like heaven. Perfect with coffee. The other bread was more of a flat bread, but a bit bublly-fluffy with olive oil, sesame seeds, and a few more flavors that had a hint of zing. OH MY. I couldn't stop eating it. A meal in itself. Unique flavor and so yummy. On the way out, I noticed they had dried dates, so I also picked up a pkg. for about $3.50 - better than sold in typical grocery stores. Great 5 minute stop.

    Best place for authentic Mediterranean eats. The atmosphere is comfortable & cool. The food is too notch. Super flavorful and filling in portion size. They also have a wide variety of options whatever you choose you can't go wrong with it because it all is delicious. Service is phenomenal! The staff is always so kind and friendly. Definitely feel like your at home. The manager is very involved and knows her restaurant well. A favorite of mine and the best Mediterranean in town!

  • 5/5 Rob M. 10 months ago on Google
    I'd been here a couple of other times and the food was good. Today I went for lunch and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. Get the hot sauce, it's fantastic.

  • 5/5 Gregory W. 11 months ago on Google
    Mazah has a real mom and pop feel to it without feeling dirty. Our sever was delightful, though I wish we would have seen her more. I had Fatayer, Greek salad, and rice. It was delightful and very good. The salad was done right with fresh and crisp veggies. The rice was moist and perfectly seasoned. The Fatayer was crisp on the outside and wondfully seasoned inside. We went on a Wednesday evening and were seated right away, with both inside and covered outside seating. Just a gem for Grandview Heights.

  • 4/5 Travis C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious. I got the chicken kabob salad. The flavor was phenominal and the portion was a good size. Service was friendly and quick. I did think the prices were a little bit high though. Would definitely return.

  • 5/5 Shannon 1 year ago on Google
    We are new to the area and were so excited to find a Mediterranean spot that seemed authentic. Our expectations were blown out of the water by the incredible food and staff. We had the grape leaves, tabouli, lamb skewers, kefta kabob and baklava. All of which were delicious. The staff was friendly from the host who met us at the door to the manager (didn’t get her name) who checked on us halfway through our meal, and especially our waitress Beth. Just can’t say enough good things and can’t wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Emilie C. 1 year ago on Google
    First time at Mazah and can’t wait to go back! Great food- especially enjoyed the Baba Ghanoush and Kefta Kabobs- and received wonderful service from Derek. Was happily surprised by the cocktail selection and highly recommend the Hot Cardamom and the Tipsy Turk. Looking forward to trying the Maamoul and a wine flight next time we are here.

  • 5/5 Brittlee M. 1 year ago on Google
    We shared the two-person dinner plate special and it was delicious. Not usually a baba ganoush fan but they may have turned me into one. Also the falafel was fantastic, and the customer service really sold the whole experience (thanks, Chris!). If you’re vegan or vegetarian, this place has so many options for you as well. Thanks again!

    Matzah catered this year’s retreat for social work staff at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. For many of us this was our first time eating Mediterranean food. The presentation was impeccable, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and professional. I can’t wait to try it again outside of a work cited.

  • 4/5 Janet V. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband is half Lebanese and our extended Lebanese side of the family has met up at Mazah on multiple occasions. It's a relaxing environment with great food at reasonable prices. If my mother-in-law likes the food, you know it's good. Though, none rivals her own. She has spoiled us with her cooking. That's the only reason I didn't give Mazah five stars.

  • 4/5 Kessashun A. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a solid place to grab some Mediterranean food if you're looking for the essentials. Their hummus and baba are both excellent; generally, they have great condiments/sauces even if I don't know what I'm eating! The bean salad is my favorite of the sides. The meats I've tried were a bit salty, and didn't allow the flavors of the Mediterranean to stand out. You definitely get good portions for what you pay. Overall, Mazah is worth your while.

  • 5/5 Trey 2 years ago on Google
    So good. First time there and if I lived here it would be a go to for sure. Chris, our server, was so nice.

  • 5/5 Kelly W. 2 years ago on Google
    We recently used Mazah to cater our son's first birthday party and it was amazing. We have used them in the past for other major events and they never let us down. Ranine and her staff are incredible, easy to work with, and timely in their responses. The catering menu is incredible. Everyone at the party was raving about the food. Lucky for us, we had a ton of leftovers too! I can't say enough good things about Mazah's catering services. Highly recommend!

    The best experience so far in Columbus, Ohio, I’ve tried hundred not to say thousands of restaurants and holes in the wall around America, been to many places in Ohio, my hometown, but never was so delighted and well treated. Lamb is a lost here, we asked the Chef “Maggy” to surprise us and she did it. Looking for a Middle Eastern restaurant? This is the place to go. Thank you all, Samir you were a gentleman.
