Al-Madina Market & Grill

I hate when the restaurant that I love to go to get new employees. Number one they are not invested in the quality of the service or the food that you are used to. With that being said, let’s talk about the service I used to like the people they were happy they were Smiling. The service I just Received was ridiculous. I asked for some sauce on my food that I paid $22.50 they used to be 16. I’m not even tripping about that because it used to be good food. The chicken was old and hard and dried out. I’m not coming back. I can find a better place to spend my money. Because when I asked for some pickles, why he take a big whole handful and dump it on my plate. I was so mad I just left.

What a terrific find! Such nice employees that helped take our order. We ordered a falafel sandwich and a chicken Shwarma combo with spicy garlic potatoes and rice. The pita was made in house and had a slight char from the wood fired oven they use which gave it an incredible fresh baked flavor. The falafel was perfection. Not over fried like most places do. The hummus on the sandwich was the freshest and creamiest I've ever had. My husband loved his chicken Shwarma. The rice was cooked perfectly and potatoes had great garlic flavor. I just wish we had room to try the baklava!

Their food is always fresh and delicious. My go to meal is the chicken shawarma sandwich with a side salad and a side of the spicy garlic potatoes. The service is always positive and they do a great job.

Great value for money 💰 The place staff was very welcoming despite coming late. Ordered the chicken shawarma, kofta sandwich, and a small hummus. 🌯 🌯 🌯 The portions were much much more than anticipated for a great price 💲👍👍 The in house made bread was great to see ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would recommend to anyone looking for Mediterranean in Cincinnati. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Exceptional value and some of the best Lebanese food I've had. We ordered the Al-Madina platter for one, along with baba ganoush, and it was more than enough for two—the variety of meats in the platter were incredibly flavorful, including the shawarma and shish kafta. The baba ghanoush was generously portioned and fresh. The counter service is friendly and very efficient. Truly one of Cincinnati's best hidden gems.
