This is my third year in a row coming to Mazah Mediterranean Eatery for 614 Restaurant Week, and they hands down have the best deals—honestly, even beyond restaurant week. Every time, they serve the most beautiful, FULL plates of food with some of the best-tasting Mediterranean dishes I’ve ever had.
As a vegan, it can be tough to find restaurants that are truly accommodating, but Mazah makes it effortless. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes such great care of you, no matter your dietary restrictions. They are genuinely the kindest and most helpful staff I’ve ever experienced at any local restaurant in Columbus.
Being family-run, dining here truly feels like you’re part of their family. You can tell how much pride and care they put into ensuring every guest has an amazing experience. I truly couldn’t recommend Mazah more to everyone—this place is an absolute gem!

The falafels, the kafta, and the chicken all quite delicious. The rice actually set this place apart from a lot of other Mediterranean places. So much more flavorful than usual. The only thing that I would say could have been better where the French fries. Normally Mediterranean places have the BEST french fries; in this case they were sadly lackluster (not crispy and didn’t have that wonderful seasoning). However with that spectacular rice I don’t even care and it still gets a five star review.
4.5/5

This is hands down the best mediterranean spot in Columbus, probably Ohio, possibly America.
I’ve been coming here for years, and very time I eat Baba Ganoush someplace else I remember “Oh yeah, never goin gto be as good as Mazah!”
The food is fresh and made with care. If you are familiar with Middle eastern/lebanese cuisine you’ll see your favorites on the menu, but you’ll find these familiar favorites have more depth and flavor here. It’s clear they use quality ingredients, family recipes, and a LOT of care and passion in every dish they make.
If the fantastic food weren’t enough, the service is always kind, attentive and welcoming! It’s a pleasure to dine in and don’t sleep on the wine list – you’ll find treasures from Greece and Lebanon in addition to the well-knowns from Italy/CA, and they pair perfectly with the menu!

If you’re looking for mouth watering, authentic Lebanese cuisine, this is the place. I haven’t found anything like it in Central Ohio. I’m pretty boughee about it because I’m half Lebanese and these guys make me feel like I’m right back at my Sittee’s (grandmother). Don’t miss the one day a month for authentic dishes like Baked kibbeh and all the fixings. We also use their catering at least once or twice a year. Every thing is fresh and made in house including the bread. Served warm right out the oven. You won’t be disappointed…

Absolutely wonderful. Honestly, my #1 pick for Mediterranean food in Columbus.
Let me start by saying the service is great, atmosphere is nice, location is decent, and the food is great! My only complaint is parking in the area can be a nightmare. However that is not Mazah’s fault or problem. Therefore no stars taken away at all.
The servers are always helpful in explaining things and making suggestions if you’re new to this type of food. The orders are always right and never a long wait for your main entree. I have been here numerous times and will continue to stop by when in the area.
In the pictures are Chicken Shawarma, Grape Leaves, and Lentil soup.

This place has amazing food and I highly recommend it to anyone who is curious or likes Lebanese/Mediterranean food. My wife and I went there to try the food and had the ka’tar fries which came with a delicious garlic dipping sauce that was well balanced to not overpowering. We tried the Baba Ghanoush that came with warm pita bread that was delicious. For entrees, we tried the kefta kabobs and chicken shawarma. Both were absolutely delicious and flavors of the meat and turmeric rice blended so well together. The desert we tried was the Kenafi with cheese that had a nice, mildly sweet flavor and a great crispy texture. The owner and employees are very nice and attentive. I highly recommend this place.

Mazah: Where Europe and the Middle East Meet
Mazah Mediterranean Eatery has been on our Columbus restaurant wish list for a while. Living outside the city means our chances to try it are rare. But when a deer decided to hurl itself at my Tesla—a kamikaze move even Elon’s full self-driving tech couldn’t predict—I suddenly had a date with the Tesla Collision Center in town. And what better way to turn a collision into a culinary adventure than by finally visiting Mazah?
Our first attempt to eat at Mazah was for our wedding anniversary last August, but it was “closed for the one week a year we go to Greece,” per the waiter’s explanation. Honestly, that’s the kind of energy I respect—nothing says Mediterranean more than a restaurant that insists on a literal Mediterranean vacation.
Mazah took on a more profound meaning for us when we learned it was one of our late friend’s favorite spots. Before COVID cruelly took him from us, he visited Mazah. When they learned he was Lebanese and had a Sitti (grandmother) too, they brought him special off-menu dishes, a gesture that showed they weren’t just serving food—they were serving memories. So we came here not just to eat, but to honor him.
The menu is refreshingly straightforward. Appetizers include the usual suspects: hummus, falafel, dolmades, and baba ghanoush. Salads range from classic Greek to the parsley powerhouse known as tabbouleh. And with only 11 entrées, Mazah focuses on perfecting each dish instead of drowning you in choices.
My wife—the vegetarian, Italian-American who normally has decision paralysis if she sees more than two vegetarian options—didn’t hesitate for once. Maybe it’s that Mediterranean seawater in her veins, but she ordered the Small Sampler with falafel over turmeric rice, plus her favorite Middle Eastern pickles, Greek salad, and hummus. Not satisfied with just that, she tacked on a lentil soup and tabbouleh. Now, I’m usually skeptical of tabbouleh, which I’ve always thought of as “a bowl of parsley with a dream.” But not here. Mazah’s tabbouleh was an actually balanced blend of flavors—fresh and zesty without making me feel like I was chewing a garden.
I managed to snag a couple of her falafel, which were so good they took me back to L’As du Fallafel in Paris’s 4th district (yes, I travel, humble brag, sue me). They were so crisp and flavorful that I made a falafel-hummus-pita sandwich the next day, and yes, it was just as good cold.
Speaking of pita, it came out warm, thick, and fluffy—none of that thin, tear-instantly lavash I’m used to. I ordered the Small Sampler as well, with chicken shawarma, Greek salad, and baba ghanoush. Let me tell you, the salad was a revelation: creamy Bulgarian feta, a roasted red pepper dressing, and savory Greek olives—fruity, briny, and slightly acidic. The baba ghanoush was velvety and smoky perfection. The rice was aromatic and golden. The chicken shawarma? Well… it was what Gen Alpha would call “mid.” I’m not convinced it was cooked on a proper vertical broiler, which is the whole point of shawarma. It had no char, no crispy edges—more of a “grilled chicken’s Mediterranean cousin” than true shawarma. Next time it’s Shish Tawook for me.
As we were finishing, we noticed an old-fashioned dessert case filled with Middle Eastern sweets, and my wife’s eyes locked on the kanafeh like a falcon spotting a rabbit. Ever since she was introduced to kanafeh by her Syrian refugee friend, she’s been a connoisseur. Mazah’s version was topped with crushed pistachios—my favorite, but not hers. When we mentioned this, they made it half with and half without nuts. That’s the kind of service that tells you you’re not just a customer here; you’re a guest. The kanafeh was warm, sweet, and gooey—like something a loving Teta (grandmother) would make.
Mazah is now more than just a restaurant for us. It’s a place where we can eat well, be treated like family, and, most importantly, remember our friend by breaking bread at one of his favorite spots. We’ll be back—partly for the falafel, mostly for the memories.

Wow this was the best Mediterranean restaurant I have had in central Ohio. They know how to cook with exceptional flavors and spices! We got the meal that serves 4 people so you get appetizers and a family style meal. The cabbage salad is awesome too!
