Fast-casual eatery serving Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food to open at Easton

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A central Ohio-based fast-casual eatery serving Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food is coming to Easton Town Center. 

Shawerma Bite is preparing to open at 4100 Worth Avenue. The space was previously occupied by Dragon Donuts, which closed last August. 

The restaurant debuted at 12 E. 16th Ave. near Ohio State University in 2020, before opening another location at 5453 Bethel Sawmill Center in northwest Columbus in 2022. It also launched an eatery in the Cincinnati suburb of Mason in June. 

A spokesperson with Shawerma Bite told NBC4 that it expects to open its Easton location in about one month. 

As its name suggests, the eatery is known for its shawarma – thin slices of slow-roasted, marinated meat that are cooked on a vertical rotisserie.

Shawerma Bite allows diners to build customizable bowls and wraps, served on rice, on greens or in a pita, with multiple meat options and falafel available. It offers a variety of toppings, including lettuce, onion, tomatoes, jalapenos, cauliflower and baba ghanoush. Customers can top their bowls and wraps with a sauce, in flavors such as garlic, honey barbecue or tzatziki. 

“This is a perfect location at Easton Town Center for delicious Mediterranean food,” said Dustin Ellsworth, Easton’s general manager. “This is a great addition offering a quick bite for those in nearby offices as well as guests hungry after some games at Pins Mechanical or live music and events at The Yard.”

The restaurant also serves sides including pita chips with garlic sauce, French fries, and pita bread with hummus or baba ghanoush. 

Along with dining in, Shawerma Bite costumers can order takeout, or delivery on platforms such as DoorDash, UberEats and GrubHub. Catering services are available as well.
