Best Mediterranean Food in Westerville

I found this place by chance one day looking for something to eat and I think I found my new favorite restaurant! I went around 3pm so the restaurant was empty but my order was still taken quickly! The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was obviously cooked fresh! I got the half dozen falafel, arayes pita and the lamb shawarma sandwich. I am not exaggerating when I say that this place has the best falafel I’ve ever had. It was hot, crisp, fluffy and super duper flavorful. They were so good I wished I had gotten the full dozen. And even cold the next day they were amazing. The sandwich was good, smoky and meaty with a yummy sauce that reminded me of tzatziki. The arayas pita weren’t what I was expecting but they were still amazing. The meat inside had a surprisingly delicate flavor that paired well with the refreshing hummus like dip it came with. I ate most of it cold the next day and it was still great. I’m very satisfied with my visit and will definitely be coming back.

10/03/25 I recently visited this restaurant for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. I ordered the Arayes Pita and Cucumber Salad, and I was thrilled to find that they had a cucumber salad on the menu. The decor and restaurant furniture were top-notch, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe and gratitude for the establishment. It’s great that the restaurant stays open late, which is a huge plus for me. Hiba, the server who took my order, was incredibly friendly and attentive. She made sure that I had everything I needed and was always willing to assist me. Overall, I had a wonderful time at this restaurant and will definitely be returning. The Arayes Pita is a must-try, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal.

We dined in on a Sunday afternoon and were able to be seated right away. We picked our own table and our server took our orders. We got 2 kebabs (lamb liver and kofta). This came with hummus, pita bread, and pickles. The kofta was delicious and had a nice smokiness. It was slightly salty on its own, but great with hummus and bread. Ordered the lamb liver because it’s not a common offering at other restaurants. It tastes like liver and would only recommend to those that like that taste. Drink sold separately (no cup of water like typically restaurants, but we didn’t specifically ask). We also ordered a lamb shawarma “sandwich”. This is a stuff pita pocket and came with a large portion of fries. Overall good. Fries were decent. The combo also came with a drink. There were a lot of tables that seat up to 4 and 6. Service was friendly.

Had the chicken sajia cooked to order and was pretty good although they ran out of tomatoes and bell peppers for it. Currently they’re only offering the breakfast menu weekdays and can only get the grilled items after 4PM. Weekends don’t have these limitations. I shall return for the grilled meats! 6/6/25 Returned for the kofta kebabs and chicken tawooq skewers. Kofta was fire, some of the best ever. See the close up pic with all the goodness. The restaurant was at 80% capacity when I came in just after 4PM, super popular for the grilled items! I was informed they now offer weekdays grilled meats starting at 2PM now. Here comes the negative, you only get two kofta pieces for 5.99. See the tray pic for 3 kofta and 3 chicken tawooq total, not too much meats. You do get some bread and hummus though.
