"This is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Columbus. As someone who grew up in a predominantly Iranian neighborhood, and someone who grew up eating at multiple Armenian, Persian, Lebanese, other Arabic restaurants in Los Angeles, I finally found a place in Columbus that serves well-seasoned and well-portioned Mediterranean food. Seriously, something about Bethel Road brings ethnic food to the level it needs to be. A lot of the other restaurants in Columbus are very toned-down and Americanized. My previous favorite for Mediterranean was Cafe Istanbul by the river, but their rice is unironically, very white and plain. We ordered the family combo platter for 3-4 people, and as a Mexican family who eats in feasts, we still had food leftover for the next 2 days. I'm from a big city with lots of ethnic cuisine options, and even though I've been frequently disappointed by the quality and authenticity of food in Columbus, Bethel road has shown me some of the best ethnic options in the city. Don't sleep on this place!"
