Service was amazing from the start, super friendly, and Ahmed made the experience even better by letting us try a few samples since it was our first time. That alone stood out. My wife got the falafel bowl and I had the chicken plate with baba ghanoush and pita everything was super fresh and full of flavor. We also tried the eggplant salad and the Jerusalem salad (which had a nice spicy kick), and my wife loved both. We even ended up ordering some of the items we sampled because they were that good. The place was clean, the owners were generous, and you can tell they really care about their food and customers. Definitely coming back next time we are in the area!

We found this awesome restaurant on Yelp when looking for Mediterranean Restaurants. It was a drive…read morefor us but worth the drive. It is close to Austin Landing. We were greeted promptly and with a smile when entering! Very welcoming atmosphere. Service was great! They offered ideas and samples of their Hummus and Baba Ghanoush. Both were absolutely delicious! They make both in house. We ordered: **"Chicken Platter ($17). It came with, Chicken Shawarma, rice, Falafel, Hummus, Grape Leaves, Tzatziki Sauce, Garlic Sauce & Cucumber Salad. ***Side order of Baba Ghanoush & Pita ($7) ***Chicken Wrap ($12). It came with fries and Chicken Shawarma. It came with other toppings but our son only wanted the chicken and pita. ***Lamb Wrap ($10). It came with Fries. It had Tzatziki, Onion, Pickles, Red Cabbage, Tomatoes, & Tahini Sauce. All our food was freshly made, absolutely delicious, very flavorful, and served hot. We got our order to go. The only negative is they served the pitas in a brown paper lunch bag. The bag was not food safe since the bag was made from recycled materials. Usually places will wrap the pitas in aluminum foil or a sandwich bag, or put it on top of your food. We ended up not eating the pitas. I'm sure they tasted good since everything else did. We will definitely be back and highly recommend the place!

They also had a spicier option which I would get next time. There are vegan dishes, so we took a menu for a family member who eats vegan. I'll be back.

The restaurant was clean and the service was fast. As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

Hummus Mediterranean has enjoyable, fresh tasting cuisine, that needs to change its vibe…read more Service: fantastic! The gentleman behind the counter was excited and knowledgeable, and offered a spicy chicken shawarma sample. If you are sick of crappy service elsewhere, dine here! Food: the fresh herbs and pickled veggies really make a difference! And the crispy but not overdone falafel? Excellent. Probably the best falafel since I moved out of metro Detroit. I found the shawarma sample to be on the dry side. Ambiance: I will admit I almost didn't go inside, based on the exterior. All the graphics and posters remind me of restaurants on the Detroit border, where they are trying to entice people in, in dubious areas. I get they want people to see the food, but it'd be nice to see more of the interior, which reminds me more of a deli. I sat outside, which is ideal, but there was something about their fence that was giving cemetery. All in all, Hummus Mediterranean Food is a very good place for a quick & healthy lunch!

Small little place with probably a dozen tables. We met the owner. She is retiring from her regular job in May and this was always a dream of hers, so I wish her much success. Right now they are running a small menu. Today it had 4 items on it. We both chose the gyro. I thought it had good flavor. The pita broke apart on us so it got messy. We told her heating the pita may make it more pliable and she was very appreciative of the feedback. I look forward to going back and seeing the changes as they grow.

The menu SUGGESTED adding mayo but that's apparently not allowed anymore. The place was weirdly quiet, the drink station was dirty, the Greek potato's in my to go order were FREEZING. The sauce on the side was a mix of liquid and chunky and was needed because there was zero seasoning on the potato's. The wrap had no pickle but promised pickle. The lettuce in the wrap was brown in places. The chicken was good but this place has gone way down. Probably won't be back here again. Too bad!!!

We stopped here for dinner on a long, long, long drive north to the Detroit area. I really wanted…read moreto get a small taste of local flavor instead of just eating fast food, and Olive was more or less on our way, so we hopped off the interstate to grab a bite. Now, from some of the pictures of the outside on Yelp, it looks like this is a standalone business with a private parking lot. That might have been the case at one time, but either the business moved or it has a second location that's freestanding and the pics are in the wrong spot, as that's not the case now. This Olive is very much in the downtown-ish area, carved into the ground floor of a much larger building. As such, parking may be a bit more challenging since there doesn't appear to be a private lot. That said, we had no trouble finding a spot on the street within a block or two. Parking was paid for with the Passport app, and it was reasonable. Of course, it might be harder during nicer weather -- not a lot of people out on a rainy evening! We walked in to find the restaurant fairly spacious but almost deserted -- only two other people waiting for to-go orders. Kind of odd for a Friday night, but again...weather. The decorations are kind of sparse but the place, including the bathroom, was clean. We ordered our meal at the counter and sat down to wait. Husband got a gyro and fries, and I got the Shish tawook platter, which came with grilled chicken, a salad, rice, and pita. We also got an order of the Greek potatoes to try out as an appetizer. Service was a little gruff at checkout but gave us a genuine, kind-hearted thank you as we left, so I guess they just had to warm up to us, lol. The potatoes came out first and were my favorite part of the meal! They were clearly cooked fresh. I'm honestly not sure what's Greek about them as they kinda reminded me of hash browns (the cubed, hash kind) with a little squeeze of lemon and maybe some herbs on top...but if it ain't broke, don't fix it! They were piping hot and very crispy. Husband and I enjoyed our meals, too. His gyro was very large and almost over-stuffed with gyro meat. The fries were medium-cut but tasted like McDonald's fries somehow...not complaining. My Shish tawook was very juicy and flavorful. I've had better rice and pita but these were both quite serviceable and I enjoyed a fairly healthy-feeling meal. Honestly, my true rating is maybe more in-line with a 3.5...but I don't have any super severe criticisms and we had a quite pleasant time overall, so I'll just round up to a 4. Seems like they do a lot of carryout / delivery business. I'd recommend this spot for a decently healthy, very fresh Mediterranean bite if you're in the area.
