Kinneret Grill

"One of the Best mediterranean spots in Cincinnati. Fully kosher restaurant with a really nice environment, perfect for a date night or night out. I really like the chicken shwarma gyro, and the falafel is perfectly crispy. You won’t be disappointed."

"My coworkers picked this restaurant and I am so glad they did. I'm a fan of Mediterranean food, and this was spectacular. The hummus was unlike any I've ever tasted - light and fluffy. Since I'm gf, our lovely waitress found cucumber slices for me. I had the Chicken Shawarma and it was perfect: the chicken was spiced perfectly and the accompaniments were delightful and so well matched. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. All 7 of were delighted with our meals. We didn't realize they close at 8PM, and stayed talking until 8:30, and yet we didn't feel rushed out the door. My next visit to this area will definitely include a trip back to this gem!"

"Amazing food for every type of person. The service was spectacular, owner and his family are great people. I recommend the shawarma plate. The hummus there is some of the best I’ve ever had."

"The owners are great, and food was spectacular! I had the Pargiyot, it was so flavorful and juicy. Also, the chicken wings were great, I loved the coating!"

"Haven't been to Cincinnati in a few years, but wanted to try Kinneret Grill as I'd heard they'd evolved from a dairy joint to a meat place. I remember when Avner began the venture, and it's good to see they're still around, and with a much improved ambiance. We stopped by on the first night of Hanukkah around 7 PM after requesting a reservation. Our table was kindly saved, but they did not seem overly busy, with only 2 or 3 other tables occupied. I asked the waitress if Avner was around, and apparently he's around during the lunch shift, while his wife Karen is there after lunch. We sat down and placed our orders. It seemed to take a bit of time for our order to come, but we had the time and enjoyed an IPA until our food arrived. In keeping with the Hanukkah theme, we got the Latkes, which were delicious and fried very properly. For our actual dinners, we ordered the Mediterranean plate and the Bacon Burger. While the burger was absolutely juicy and delicious (with serviceable fries), the Mediterranean plate was far more mediocre. Many, if not all, items from that plate were readily identifiable by taste as the prepackaged goods I always get from the store, rather than fresh offerings. Overall, I'd like to come by again and give them another shot if I'm in the area, but the impression I walked away with is that the food is hit or miss here."
