"Chicken Platter is absolutely delicious - healthy portions & fresh! Lamb smelled so good, packaging is sturdy. Will be getting food from here again! I'm"
"I absolutely love the chicken and lamb platter from this place and appreciate that they are open late. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is that they never really follow directions/customizations. Example: didnt get the pita I paid extra for and chose mixed, olive, onion, jalapeño as my veggies but received mixed and lettuce only. If they took more time to get orders right, it would be a definite five star. I will say the fries are also quite good, and a large portion, but between not being fried crispy, and the type of container used, they arrive a little soggy. Cant beat the price though!"
Chicken Platter
Tender, juicy grilled chicken seasoned with a bold blend of Middle Eastern spices, served over a bed of fluffy, fragrant yellow basmati rice. Drizzled with creamy white sauce and a splash of tangy hot sauce, then topped with crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and sliced onions for the perfect balance of flavor and crunch. Every bite is a hit of smoky, savory, and spicy goodness.

"After a day that included a run with my dog, a cool-down walk with the other dog, cleaning the garage, tackling laundry, baking biscotti, putting together a care package for my daughter at Pitt… and approximately 437 other things… I decided I’d earned DoorDash.
I took a chance on XENiA for the first time.
Excuse me… where have you been all my life?!
The Souvlaki Chicken Salad was so ridiculously fresh and flavorful that I inhaled it like it was my last meal. I actually meant to take a picture for this review… but that plan lasted about 2.7 seconds. By the time I remembered, all that remained was an empty bowl and absolutely zero regrets.
The chicken? Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked so well it deserves its own fan club.
And let’s talk about the red pepper hummus. I don’t even like red pepper hummus. Or at least I thought I didn’t. Apparently I’ve just been eating the wrong hummus my entire life because this stuff was outrageously good. I would happily eat it with a spoon and have absolutely no shame about it.
Every bite of the salad brought something different—crisp vegetables, tangy feta, fresh herbs, crunchy cucumbers, and flavors that all somehow worked together like they were auditioning for a Michelin star.
Healthy food isn’t supposed to make you question every life choice that led you to eating boring salads before this… yet here we are.
Needless to say, XENiA has officially been added to my regular rotation. Next time I’ll try to remember to take a picture.
…Unless I eat it first again. Which, let’s be honest, is exactly what’s going to happen. 🤷♀️🍋🥗"
"5 Stars overall.
Great presentation. I feel like Igot exactly what I ordered as far as quality and portion go.
Very generous with the meat portions, steak was pretty fatty/chewy but kind of expect that with steak from "Fast Food" experience.
Very flavorful, Delicious!
Chicken Bowl was filling and well portioned on ingredients.
I recommend trying either."

"Get the 干锅花菜 Cauliflower in Spicy Sauce. (This isn't it a vegetarian dish. It has a nice amount of Chinese bacon/pork belly, but it's more veg than meat.) It was phenomenal. Chef's kiss.
蟹角 Crab Rangoon（6) and Hot & Sour Soup were standard fare. Soup had a generous amount of vegetables and tofu but maybe a bit too much corn starch. Rangoon maybe slightly under filled for the price but they were tasty and not too sweet. "
"The best Asian spot in town hands down. The portions are enough to last two days, general Tso's is always on point, wonton soup is delicious, I can go on and on. Been eating here for the past 4 years and haven't been disappointed a single time "

Evenly seasons for flavor, but not enough to raise the blood pressure up. The Lamb Quesadilla and the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla have my Full Endorsement!!!! The cost was very reasonable and was plenty for two days. I highly recommend them if you need to try something different. Best quesadillas on the Eastside of Columbus!!!! I will be ordering from there again soon!"

"This is the best Jamaican food in the city, in my opinion. This is my second time ordering and the taste is amazing. The portions are wonderful. The food is very fresh. This time I got the curry Goat. I get mine in Duncan's Jamaica but whatever .. Spanish Town Curry Goat with rice and peas it is delicious. I've stopped ordering Ja food from everywhere on east side Columbus cuz the food was blah, but I will say the oxtail from Kareens is my favorite. The Mac and cheese is huge and delicious, like this is Jamaican food I'm used to. I'd order the goat and oxtail again definitely. I had a bite in my pictures."
"The food was amazing like always- the oxtails so tender- the rice and peas perfect as well as the cabbage! Very good plate my only disappointment comes from the exact same meal rising in price from 8 -12 plus dollars. An oxtail dinner used to be 15 $ now for an oxtail dinner you will pay 24-27 depending on size . Outrageous "

"You can never go wrong with the Kintot/ቅንጦት ! It's my favorite thing to get here as there are all the veggies included... potato, collards, beets, etc. including beef stew too which also is flavorful. Everything is tender and there is a good portion for the price. It is what you expect when paying $20. I personally get the injera in a separate casing though as I do not like mine soggy by the time it arrives to me."
"Before I tried the kitfo, I just had a bite of the Enjera and it was exquisitely delicious. A wonderful tang full of flavor. Great texture. And then I began my meal.

"The food was great! The sauce on the on the chicken was amazing. I ordered ahead so my food would be ready by the time I got there, but I had to wait and additional 15mins. Not happy about it but the food was worth the wait. "
" this i is literally the worst Jamaican food I have ever tried in my life. If this is rice and peas I've never seen it made like this they put lima beans in the rice. The rice was still completely hard and uncooked. The mac & cheese is disgusting thick cheese not smooth and melted if your truly from the Caribbean never eat this place !!! Waste of money"

"If I could rate this 6 stars I would, the sauces are on par with the spices in the meat which is saying a lot. For 12.99 this has got to be some of the best spiced food in Columbus, there is enough food for an active tall man and yet it doesnt feel like it weighs you down. I sincerely pray blessings over those who prepared my meal, happy ramadan"
"If I could rate this place higher than 5, I would! The Mix Over Rice is a great, filling portion. The lamb and chicken are always tender and flavorful. The rice is fresh, well seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The sauces are amazing and add a nice touch. The hot sauce particularly is my favorite. I've ordered them many times and will order again."

"Love the Jerk Chicken meal! And cabbage is 10/10. "
"So Im a big fan of Caribbean food especially Jamaican. I seen this was a NEW SPOT on door dash so I said let me try. What sold me was how the baked mac look & not everyone mac and cheese is macn!!! So I got the Curry Chicken with mac and Steam Cabbage with rice and Jerk Chicken on the side. Don't talk about how much I ordered it was affordable nonetheless!
Curry was flavorful and good wasn't a big fan of the white rice but it was good I give it an 6 as I like rice and peas with mine. Curry itself was an 8. Flavorful and good just wish it was an larger order to get more meat. It didn't have enough in my opinion they never do!
Jerk Chicken was 8.5 very flavorful enough meat and spice was really good! However it was a bit dry just a little but it was good.
Steam Cabbage in my opinion as a southern black American, -2.5. Horrible. It was served with peppers and peas and it wasn't nah. It wasn't hitting. I took one bite and said H NAW.
Mac and Cheese? Honey its baked, cheesy and good! Take my word for it!!! Def an 8.5-9.
Everything was great except the cabbage. Go ahead and try the food you wont be disappointed. Def ordering here again✅ "

"This food is top notch! My family loves it. It is absolutely delicious and everything is flavorful. This was enough food for all of us to be full with leftovers left. The grilled fish is packed with seasoning inside and out and is so tender. The plantains are sweet and fulfilling. The Egusi soup is flavorful and filling - we get cow meat because the texture is satisfying. The fufu is delicious and filling. The jollof rice is a huge portion and packed full of flavor. This is our favorite place!"
"Jollof Rice W/ Fish delicious and very flavorful. Easily feeds 3 people. Great price. Food was very fresh as well. The Egusi Soups delicious, but the goat meat was very fatty and tough. Very hard to chew, the taste was amazing. The price for the soup didn't include rice or fufu that was extra. The soup feeds about two - three people as well. Very pleased with this restaurant. "
