I stopped in here Friday evening to try out this new spot. I felt it was very good for Mediterranean food. I tried the chicken Shawarma, which was very good.. The stuffed grape leaves were also an interesting side that I enjoyed. They ran out of pita during our visit, but gave us some baklava to try. It was quite tasty as well. The workers here were incredibly friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you’re in the area and I will definitely return as well.

Stopped in right after they opened at 10, everything was excellent and very fresh. I’ve never had kibbeh or tabbouleh but both were good. The chicken shawarma was my favorite, great flavor and a lot of chicken inside! I’ll defnitely be back.

We got chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, falafel and manakeech zaatar! Everything was perfect and very generous quantities they even gave us free baklawa!

Absolutely amazing
The food was incredibly delicious and super fresh. Every bite was full of rich, bold flavors, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The shawarma was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and hands down the best shawarma I’ve ever had.
Portions were generous, everything was well-prepared, and the sides complemented the meal perfectly. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable and not expensive at all, especially for the quality you get.
Highly recommended , I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

I’ve eaten here twice now and both times were AMAZING! The kibbeh, tabouleh salad, and chicken shawarma were 10/10! Everything tastes so fresh. The service is also great! I can’t wait to go back!

It took an hour and a half for my delivery order. The tracker said that a driver would be assigned once the food is ready and it took over an hour to prepare chicken shawarma and loaded fries. Then once receiving my food here’s what my shawarma looked like. They also didn’t follow instructions to put the spicy sauce on the side (in notes). I’ve ordered here once before, the first time was ok but didn’t blow my mind. I wanted to like this place so bad!

AMAZINGly delicious food, friendly staff, and awesome story behind this small family owned business- bringing more culture to Zanesville is what I love to see!
Hummus, lentil soup, drinks, zataar pizza all so good and a great bang for your buck!
Definitely worth trying- the owners Ahmad & Ayam are such a down to earth couple and provide a warm and connective experience for every customer!

Highly recommend! I first came across Balila at a local farmers market this summer. My first purchase was their hummus and baba ganoush. I would say that both are the best I have ever had. I was very excited to learn they were opening a restaurant and couldn’t wait to try it. Since their opening last week I have gone twice. The falafel sandwich is amazing and I highly recommend. I also really enjoyed the mujadara. The house-made hot sauce is excellent, but I would recommend getting it on the side as it has quite a kick! I’m sure the rest of the menu is excellent, and I cannot wait to try the other items. Go check them out! You won’t be disappointed!!

The customer service is always top notch and the food is great. I think it’s a reasonable price. It’s not going to be fast food priced. I don’t spend more than $20 a meal here and that includes 3 entrees. Everything I’ve had so far has been delicious and hot.
