    I went here with some family, and we loved it! It was pretty busy but you could still get around. We got Indian, Polish, Moroccan, and Mexican. All of it was divine! We also grabbed pretzels and ice cream all to die for! Would highly suggest.

    12/2/23 update: I saw some newer restaurants here. They’re doing construction so it can be a little difficult going to the back entrance from the convention center. You’ll have to go in from the front. I love this place. A multitude of different ethnic food and snacks. There is literally something for everyone here no matter how picky you are. Prices won’t break the bank. You get a generous amount of food. I like to grab different kinds of food to try out.

    An incredible amount of little restaurant spots that you can get just about anything that you want from fesh fish and oysters to donuts and ice cream. If you were in the downtown area, this is a must-see place.

    Food hall concept where different food vendors are in a large open warehouse-type space so customers can select and taste different cuisines .. the ground floor is where the vendor's are and the upper floor is the dining area with plenty of tables and bar stools to enjoy the food

    The market is made up with a dozen or so unique stores It is definitely worthy a stroll through the market. From a cup of Joe in the morning to a spicy bite of Nepali food, this is a cutesy place to spend time. The pretzel shop is my fav! No need to commit to the full pretzels, those little sticks allow anyone a taste of variety without the quantity. And they are tasty, soft with just a touch of chewy texture. Happy eating

    Well done. Very similar to Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia but waaay better!! Not nearly as crowded, dirty, or smelly and much more friendly. Tons of seating upstairs and plenty of great choices downstairs. In a nice part of the city with a few outdoor tables as well.

    I love this place! There are so many great food options, plus some extra shopping options while you are there. If you have company in town, I would suggest taking them to the North Market.

    Best find of my visit to Columbus! We could all pick what we wanted to eat and occasionally share with each other. You will find food from around the world. A couple of shops sold fresh cuts of meat and locally grown produce. There's even a florist in case you want to surprise someone.

    Very fun and lovely area. People are very nice, respect mask choices, and have a diverse selection of food. The have a place with specialty oils, ramen, sushi, and a whole lot of others. The upstairs is a chicken restaurant with great spicy chicken. We bought a pretzel with cheeses baked in which was very tasty. I'd recommend coming here for many different options. You could get a meal and dessert. I'll definitely be coming back to check out more places.

    Great atmosphere and variety. Something for everyone. There is dining upstairs, and you must try Jeni's ice cream!

    So much fun! A diversity of food vendors and little shops selling cards and flowers. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area. I went in the morning so most booths were still closed but I’m sure it gets lively in the afternoons! Lots of cuisines inside to try including Moroccan, Italian, etc. I included a photo of the stall map so you can get a sense of what’s currently there, enjoy!

    What a unique place. There are so many great options to choose from. All ethnicities and varieties. All the different food places were full of such great choices. There are so many things to look at and enjoy. Food and beverage. Desserts. Many different varieties of items for sale. You must stop here and try it out. You won't be disappointed. Also big plus in my book it's wheelchair ♿️ accessible

    Don’t skip the polish stand!!! For sure the best potato pancake in Ohio. We hard a very hard time deciding which place to have lunch at as we were only in town for a day. We went with Tajine House (Moroccan cuisine) for our main entree and got some potato pancakes and pierogies from the Polish spot. Everything was very fresh and well presented. The atmosphere was extremely inviting and great for people watching as you can eat upstairs and look down on the indoor market. Plenty of fun local shopping as well in the market for those looking for a unique souvenir. Enjoy :)

    Great market! Variety of food and dessert options plus little shops and gifts. All food was yummy and plenty of seating. Visited on a Sunday afternoon with a group of 9, and it wasn't too crowded.

    January 2023: I always find it interesting how other cities compare to my hometown. Most major cities have at least one market or place where several vendors collectively sell food and produce. Columbus is no different. The family and I went here after the New Year to see what it was all about. Pros: * Sizeable area with several vendors inside. My estimate is that they have 30. There was a low vacancy space, which suggests that business is good here. * Variety of vendors there from ice cream parlor to a wine. From Vietnamese cuisines to Polish sausage, people will find something that they like. * Relatively newer facility with an updated layout. Public restrooms on both 1st and 2nd floors. * The family wanted to get ice cream at Jeni's. The ice cream parlor has delicious flavors and did not scrutinize our sampling of them. Cons: * Pay to park in their parking lot. There are normally metered parking spaces on the street, but due to construction, the meters had been removed. Comparison: If I had to compare North Market to the iconic Westside Market in Cleveland, then I would prefer the Westside Market due to it being a larger venue with more meat, deli, and unique fresh produce options. The North Market does have a newer venue and a more customer friendly eat-in style configuration. However the actual building for the Westside Market has more history and more ornate detail to it. Summary: I like this place a lot and will return. They have a variety of options to choose from.

    I love North Market! It's such a fun immersive experience from beginning to end. There are tons of vendors downstairs with food options from door to door and once you make your way upstairs you get to take a seat and eat with a view of the market below you. A very cute date spot with a little bit of something for everyone!

    We had SO much yummy food here! We kept going back daily and trying different things. I forgot to take pics of everything we ate. The Greek place was my absolute FAVORITE.

    Great foodie destination. There’s a lot of different cuisines to taste. Stauf’s make an excellent coffee. The Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar shop has some incredible flavours.

  • 5/5 Jeff B. 10 months ago on Google
    Phenominal place. This was the primary reason I took a short trip to the area with my wife. We were both amazed. I didn't see the hot chicken place(EDIT: after looking at site again, apparently it was upstairs, which we didn't make it to), but it was kind of a blessing cause it was one of the many things I wanted to try and after getting a little bit at a lot of the places we were both stuffed and had plenty left over. The cheesemongers at the cheese shop were very helpful and helped me select some nice ones for a homemade lasagna. I'm not sure if possible, but if not the pasta cooking place next to the pasta making place cannot cook what someone orders from the maker right there, definitely a missed opportunity. Olive and vinegar bar was great, picked up several. Out of the food places my favorite was the lamb shank(I think it was a moroccan place, but on the 2022 map it's where that burger joint is marked) and wife's favorite was her gyro(she thinks it was lamb and chicken). And I like a lot of spice/heat, so when I found my breakfast bagel sandwich lacking I was able to just pick up a bottle of black rabbit hot sauce, which is sooooo good. I hope to get a chance to go back and if we're ever driving through downtown Columbus, I will.

    Wow! What a fantastic assortment of food vendors. Tibet's, Korean, Vietnamese. Seafood, BBQ & brisket. Sweets, treats. Classic mid-Ohio friendliness. Some vendors will validate your parking ticket with your purchase (I was on foot. Unsure on parking.). Very close (4 min walk, if that) from the convention center (for your convention lunch break!)

  • 3/5 Ha D. 10 months ago on Google
    It seem like food court instead of market since it only have all different foods vendor such as indian, mexican, vietnamese, american, italian foods. It nothing much to see here beside foods.

  • 4/5 K. G. 10 months ago on Google
    We didn’t try much, this was our first trip! Could change our mind with our next trip - we will be back! Very cool place with many options for you to chose from. Would recommend coffee from Staufs, and pad Thai from Nidas. Would not recommend the bbq from Barrel & Boar. Over priced and did not meet any expectation, unfortunately. I will say that many people had ramen, so definitely check that out! :)

  • 5/5 Anita D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great indoor food market in downtown Columbus with options covers almost every continent. The Japanese ramen is authentic and New York pizza is a must try. Look for Hoyo kitchen if you like to try Somalian cuisines or spicy food. There are Indian, Italian, Vietnamese among others. You can also get fresh produces and different types of liquor. Don’t forget to have Jeni’s ice cream with her own original flavors and has gone national. There are seating area upstairs and lots of parking spaces nearby.

  • 5/5 Aide M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful Variety of Food! LOTS to choose from! The Lobster Mac-N-Cheese from COLO Market & Oyster Bar was 👍👍! The 3 Cheese lasagna at Pastaria 👍👍, the tacos and quesadillas from Dos Hermanos was 👍👍! Great service even with the long lines.

    What a creative area for food and marketplace! Love the variety! Clean and has an second level sitting area

  • 4/5 Mr. B. 1 year ago on Google
    The only issue I have with the North market is parking. I've been to many other cities that have markets like this and this is pretty average but again it's a market so the atmosphere is high energy. They did add a couple more seating here. Looks like because of a vendor is no longer here so they have some more seating downstairs. But you also have seating upstairs and outside. Right now there's a bunch of construction going on so it's hard to park close. However, there is a parking lot that they'll validate your parking as well. But you can come here and get many different flavors of food ethnics flavors under one roof

    This place was really cool, however it was so busy and lines were so long for the food and there was nowhere to sit once we for our food.

  • 4/5 Cristina D. 1 year ago on Google
    Was in Columbus visiting and ended up checking this out on a very busy Sunday. I’m sure if you’re a fan of “Markets” then this is a place for you. Had a hectic atmosphere, maybe because of a weekend? Nice murals outside and tables to sit at. Was pretty crowded but we managed to find a table which no one probably wanted because was quite dirty. Was hard to find napkins and I don’t think tables were frequently cleaned. Large variety of options for any type of food or specialty items to buy inside. I’d emphasize the hectic feeling and uncleanliness but lots to be seen and a family atmosphere. Not necessarily my usual type of place to visit so hard to judge properly.

  • 5/5 Iron Mind W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place with lots of delicious food options. There is plenty of seating available on the second floor. You can find almost anything you want to eat here. There’s also a flower shop, deli, meat/fish market, cheese market, oils & vinaigrettes, lots more. I would definitely check this place out if you’re nearby!

  • 4/5 G S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a fantastic public market with a diverse array of local independent merchants. Fresh meat and fish, produce and flowers, novelty gifts, as well as tea & coffee stalls, beer and wine, a spice market, and a variety of delicious ethnic eateries. Grab lunch and a seat upstairs in the dining area, or a picnic table outside. There's a gated pay-to-park lot adjacent to the market. Get your ticket validated by any of the vendors inside to pay a reduced rate. My only complaint (and the reason for a 4-star rating) is getting out of this parking lot at the end of the lunch rush - it's very slow! So make sure you factor in plenty of time to wait in line, or just park someplace else.

  • 5/5 David A. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible experience! Can't believe I haven't visited before. This is a great spot to hang out, support local, and grab some great items/food. They validate the first two hours of parking with a purchase. Take your ticket to a vendor. Enjoy!!
