Ethiopian/Eritrean
An Ethiopian restaurant
Traditional Ethiopian restaurant with many vegetarian (vegan) dishes that are clearly marked on the menu, including red lentils, yellow split peas, greens, potatoes, cabbage, chick peas, and more. They also feature a lunch buffet weekday afternoons, which offers a number of veg options.
In addition to "regular" tables" the restaurant also features traditional-style Ethiopian tables so you can have a traditional Ethiopian dining experience.

Reviews
I felt the food here was very good, but the prices--like many Ethiopian restaurats--were ridiculous. A friend and I shared the vegetarian combo platter (with 5 or 6 items on it), and were charged double the price of a single platter, but not given substantially more food. I've been told by others that frequent the restaurant that you're better off getting the single platter and sharing it.
Blue Nile is one of the better places to find a vegan meal in Columbus. There are a number of vegan dishes on the menu and, although the prices aren't cheap, the food is very filling and you get a lot of it.
Also, the kitchen sends out free samples of other dishes when they bring out your meal. My waiter once brought me a sample dish that looked like it could be meat. I asked him whether there was meat on my injera and he laughed at me and said "no, it's eggplant" and then explained that the kitchen makes a point of only sending vegetarian samples to guests ordering the vegetarian dishes. In addition, he informed me that the kitchen is happy to split up a party's orders onto two separate pieces of injera if there are vegetarians in the group who are concerned about cross-contamination.
