## A Fresh Take on Mediterranean Flavor: Inside Sumac Mediterranean Grill
Nestled just outside of downtown Columbus and only two months into its grand opening, Sumac Mediterranean Grill is already making waves for all the right reasons. Walk through the doors and you’ll immediately sense their mission: bringing the bold and diverse flavors of the Mediterranean to the community. With a focus on minimizing oils and fats, the dishes here feel lighter, fresher, and somehow even more flavorful.
**Build Your Own Bowl (or Pita)**
Sumac’s menu is centered around a “build your own” experience, giving guests full control of their Mediterranean masterpiece. Choose a base then load it up with a protein like Chicken Shawarma (a crowd favorite), Falafel, or the flavorful Beef & Lamb Gyro. Finish it off with your favorite toppings and sauces like garlic paste, tahini, or sumac.
If you’re wondering, Sumac is more than just a name, it’s a tangy, citrusy spice that adds a subtle taste to their dishes. Earthy, floral, and lemony, it’s a signature flavor woven throughout their offerings. One of our favorite things about this hidden gem.
