The best part about living in the Polaris area is that you are minutes to so many great eating options! Whether you peruse Polaris Parkway itself, or easily hop onto I-71 North or South to get to another corner of town in as little as 10 minutes, you will never find yourself bored or without great dining options!

Here are the Top 10 Rated Restaurants near the Polaris area from 2016, according to Yelp:

1. Little Lebanon Bistro & Bakery – In the heart of Polaris on Sancus Blvd., Little Lebanon serves authentic Lebanese food and pastries and is even the No. 3 rated restaurant on Yelp from all of 2016!
2. What’s For Döner – This new restaurant can be found in a surprising place – the food court of Polaris Fashion Place! But don’t let that keep you away. This is high quality food court cuisine with large, fresh sandwiches, wraps and salads in the style and flavors of German Street Food!
3. Northstar Café – Northstar has multiple locations across Central Ohio and living in the Polaris area puts you minutes from two of them, including a brand new location in Uptown Westerville. Northstar has famous dishes for all three breakfast, lunch and dinner!
4. Cameron’s American Bistro – If you are looking for a nice sit-down meal of American-style food with impeccable service, you should try the original Cameron Mitchell restaurant a few minutes away in Worthington!
5. Lavash Café, – This popular Clintonville establishment serving Mediterranean food is also a great spot for takeout if you don’t have time to dine in!
6. Taste Of Greece – Believe it or not – this is a Clintonville food truck! But its gyros are good enough to give it a spot on the Top Rated of 2016 list, and one Yelper calls it “the best gyro truck anywhere in Columbus.”
7. Pita Hut -N- Grille – If this restaurant sounds familiar to you, maybe you’ve already visited its neighbor The Cultural Hub of the Midwest (Google it.). Located in Beechwold, which is in between Clintonville and Worthington, Yelpers have rated this Mediterranean restaurant high and rave about its falafel and fresh pita.
8. Pat & Gracie’ – The farthest away on this list at around 17 minutes, this American Gastropub is in an unassuming shopping center, but the pictures of wings, burgers and fries on its Yelp page should easily sway you to drive the roughly 9 miles.
9. Portia’s Café – You didn’t think we would make a 10 Top list without including a Vegetarian and Vegan restaurant did you? Check out Portia’s in Clintonville, which boasts a 4.5 star rating out of 156 reviews.
10. Wolf’s Ridge Brewing – We could have doubled the size of this list by adding all of the Top Rated Downtown Columbus options, but if we had to pick just one, we’d pick the popular Wolf’s Ridge Brewing. The Polaris area’s instant access to I-71 S makes getting downtown an absolute breeze and this New American restaurant’s creative entrees and beers make it a fun evening out.
