Best Choi for lunch and dinner. High quality food and friendly service. My casual choice

This place is incredible. I'm from the east coast where we have Cava, which is a similar type of quick service, but Brassica blows it out of the water.

I have no idea what I ate or what it meant, but like a drunk kiss in a dark bar, it felt good on my lips. I'm a total metal head, so seeing that this place had some kind of alloy in the name was a total turn on, brought to existential crisis completion levels by this delicious slop bowl.

I stopped by Brassica for the first time with a few coworkers. And I will be back! Best described to me as "Mediterranean Chipotle," you choose a base (I chose the pita sandwich) then hummus or a different sauce. Then some toppings, including your protein, before the choice of multiple sauces. I assembled a pretty tasty meal for myself and enjoyed their fries. They also have a house mint lemonade that was delicious. Parking at this location could be an issue, though seating seemed to available while we were there (roughly 11:45-12:45).

oh my gosh- SO GOOD. A friend recommended this place and I loved it. If you've ever had Cava, it's pretty similar, but way better quality. The vegetables were so delicious and the chicken was nice and tender. The workers were nice and the restaurant was clean. I wish we had this where I live!

Brassica is one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus! Having said this, they have some opportunities. 1) 90% of the time I visit I have to wait for falafel. I get that they want it to be fresh but at 12p - 1p you'd think that they'd make enough for the expected lunch rush. There were two others waiting for falafel besides me (wait time ~ 5 mins). This has been the case at both Lane Ave & Easton sites. 2) Why does the salad cost $3 more than the sandwich? I can tell you from +10 visits that it's not because you get a larger portion size with the salad. Seems like they are taking advantage of those customers that order salads (which I've noticed is the majority of people). Oh - kale and cabbage is more expensive - probably, but I get the same portion size with my sandwich. 3) During my visit today I got a sandwich. After waiting +5 mins for the falafel to be ready, they began making my sandwich. When it was clear that the sandwich would be overflowing (see picture) I asked if I could get the last three items on the side. I was told, "we'll do it this time, but we normally can't". What? So - you don't mind inconveniencing the customer to get their food and then it seems like the right decision to explain company policy when the customer asks for a side cup? BTW - no, "I'm sorry you had to wait so long to get your food". Only, "we'll do it this time...". I sometimes think folks have lost their minds. 4) The portion size is inconsistent. It seems they worry more about the artistic creation of the food than giving the same portion visit to visit. Chipotle has this same problem - improved training would address this Will I continue to come to Brassica? YES - the food is great! They just need to figure out a few details to make it a better experience for the customer.

Brassica is a Lebanese-inspired, Chipotle-style fast casual joint that lets you build your own pita sandwiches, salads, or hummus and chips. I usually get the salad option, akin to a bowl, with a base of lentils and greens. Protein choices include falafel, vegetable mix, chicken shawarma, or harissa-rubbed brisket. I've always gotten the chicken shawarma and the flavoring is really good. Next comes the vegetables (roasted carrots, marinated eggplant or cauliflower), and you top it off with a variety of sauces. My go-to sauces are the 'special' sauce (think tzatziki without dill) and roasted red pepper. In addition, you can add either hummus or baba ganoush, as well as crispy onions or crushed up pita chips to give it a crunch. The ingredients are fresh, delicious, and blend together wonderfully. One downside for first timers is that the menu board is posted on the left hand side near the front entrance, which makes it difficult to view once you get to the serving line. I'm not sure if they have handheld laminated menus, but imagine that could be helpful. In addition, the food is rather pricey for similar style restaurants -- my most recent bowl was $16 without a drink or any extras (i.e. the fries, which are pretty popular). However, the quality is excellent so as long as you're okay with paying a bit extra for high quality ingredients with superb flavor, Brassica is definitely worth trying!

This is the fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant of my dreams. If I could, I would open Brassica's all over California and Hawai'i. What is good? Everything! Brisket Hummus Bowl: The first time I got Brassica, I ordered this. . . with all the fixings- if it was on the line, I added it! Includes an organic pita that is light and airy. Falafel Salad: Comes with greens, and grains, and, of course, I added anything and everything. The pickled veg is so, so good. Must order a side of fries, a tahini chocolate chip cookie, and a minty pink lemonade that I mix soda water into to make it sparkly. The customer service goes above and beyond. If you're meeting up with friends you may want to check out the extensive and reasonably priced bottles of wine, beer on draft, or the Brassica margarita.
