Silav Cafe&Grill

Stopped by for brunch on a whim and can honestly say this has been some of the best middle eastern food I’ve tried. The royal breakfast is insanely delicious! We especially loved the hummus, all the cheeses, and the egg and tomato dish. The complimentary tea also surprised us with how fragrant and yummy it was!! Pistachio latte was a highlight for me :)

We had a lovely time at Silav, the meat is all halal Kurdish / Mediterranean style cuisine. It is downtown Columbus right near the courthouse complex. We went for breakfast on a Sunday, the street parking downtown is normally paid but free on Sundays and there was plenty available (weekdays is a different story). We ordered a breakfast sandwich with naan bread and beef sausage as well as a breakfast bowl with eggs, potato, pepper, onion, and mushroom. Both were delicious. We also had Kurdish tea and lattes. Everything was delicious I would highly recommend, hope to return for lunch or Dinner one day Insha'Allah.

I wanted to love this place, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back. The atmosphere is very nice, and the food is also delicious. However my problem is with the portion sizes. The gyro platter came with what I would call “scraps” of gyro meat. I kind of couldn’t believe how little meat they gave me. I took a picture next to my hand for reference. I started digging underneath the rice because I was sure more was hidden below, but no. The platter itself however, was delicious. The chaat salad, though fresh and tasty, also disappointed me due to the lack of chickpeas. In the images I swear there were WAY more. What you see in this image was basically what there was in chickpeas, I also started digging through the salad because I couldn’t believe it. I almost never leave bad reviews, but this place suprised me to where I felt like speaking my mind. Maybe it’s because I ordered the food 30 minutes before close.

I'm grateful for this cafe. It's 12 degrees F today and feels like 2F. It was nice to enjoy Turkish Coffee and an Egg, Cheese, and Beef Sajook Bagel while waiting for the next bus. The staff were friendly, the music was nice, and there was plenty of beautiful artwork on the walls. I enjoyed the picture of the Delal Bridge (always nice to learn about something new).

BEAUTIFUL place, EXCELLENT service, DELICIOUS food, and lovely cultural experience. We will definitely come again. The scrambled egg breakfast dish with naan and the fried lemon potatoes with spicy cilantro sauce were so good. We tried both of the traditional coffees and loved both. And we can’t wait to try the desserts we took to-go!
