He took the time to tell us about his culture--mainly because I asked a million questions--and he made the whole experience even better.

Be prepared to leave full and already planning your next visit!

This was our first time back since Olive Tree expanded into the neighboring space, and my parents'…read morevery first time here. We were shocked by how packed it was at 7:30pm on a Sunday. The wait was about 45 minutes, but it was completely worth it!! The Olive Tree Sampler is a must, so you can try a bit of everything. We also ordered three chicken shawarma sandwiches and the mixed grill for the table. Everything was just as good as we remembered. FYI they serve Matrix, a Jordanian zero-sugar cola. It doesn't taste like Diet Coke, but it's a fun part of the authentic experience and worth trying. Looking forward to bringing more people here. If you haven't tried Chef Yousef's food yet, put Olive Tree on your list!

Another star was the warm yogurt sauce that had me wanting to eat it like soup! We also tried the beef and chicken schwarma sandwiches, the mixed grill platter and Chef Yosef's famous dish Mansaf. I wish I could have enjoyed a crisp white wine with this meal, however they do not serve alcohol here. Maybe they could consider a BYOB option in the future. We got a cute booth by the window and enjoyed the natural light and beautiful plants along the front of the restaurant. I wish our service would have been better though. Our waitress seemed distracted and maybe a bit overwhelmed by the amount of tables she had. Overall I don't think I would go back to dine in again but would consider take out.

The customer service was genuinely some of the best we've ever experienced it was warm, welcoming, and so hospitable. The bread was phenomenal and worth the visit all on its own! We ordered two İnegöl Köfte plates to split between two adults and one child, and honestly, one plate would have been plenty because the portions are so generous. The köfte was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the rice was absolutely delicious, and the fresh salad was the perfect complement. I also ordered a side of chicken just to try it, and it was equally flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. For drinks, we tried the Turkish pear soda and the orange soda. Both were delicious, but the pear was my favorite and is a must-try! If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Turkish food with generous portions and outstanding hospitality, this is the place. We will definitely be back!

Handles were a gas pump, which is pretty cool and all of the tables are gas barrels. That's where the fun stops as I walk up to the counter. I was the only one there. A man walked in behind me. The lady working the register. Told me to wait so that she could service the guy behind me. He was gentlemanly enough, knowing that I had been waiting there and told her to take my order first. I got the sliced brisket with two sides. The brisket was dry. It was over a bit of "dirty rice". I did not care for the seasoning on the rice. Macc and cheese was dry as well with no flavor. the corn was OK. All in all. I will not be coming back. It just wasn't worth the $26.99

Unique concept, great flavors--but the setup left us puzzled…read more This place had a quirky, almost cafeteria-style setup that caught us off guard. No hostess when we walked in--just a basket with menus and a clear expectation to fend for ourselves. Ordering involved walking up to a lone register, selecting everything upfront (soups, salads, mains, drinks, dessert), and tipping before any interaction or service. That felt a bit premature, especially since there wasn't an option to simply request another drink mid-meal without repeating the process entirely. Water was self-serve, with empty cups handed to us on a tray, along with a table number stand to place wherever we chose to sit. We opted for the patio--less noisy and free from the Chuck E. Cheese-like energy happening inside. The bread and dip? Absolutely phenomenal. Three petite slices served with a rich olive oil herb dip that was easily the highlight. We regretted skipping appetizers (mostly fried), though the Caprese salad sounded promising in hindsight. For mains, we tried the Friday special--shrimp scampi. The shrimp arrived separate from the noodles, which was fine once we combined them. The portion felt underwhelming given the oversized plate. Our server made two brief appearances--to deliver the bread and then the entrée. Drinks were okay. I ordered an adult lemonade that tasted great but came in a tiny glass. I considered a second, but the idea of trekking back inside, reordering, and pre-tipping again wasn't appealing--especially with a wait of 15+ minutes for that first drink. Dessert was tempting--gelato looked amazing. If we return, it might just be for a to-go treat. Overall, the food wasn't bad, and friends have had great experiences with their catering. But the dine-in experience felt fragmented and impersonal. I'm curious to try their Lutz location--though takeout sounds more appealing than navigating this format again.

Sometimes I get salad instead of fries, but today was that kind of day. The falafel is fresh perfectly fried extremely tasty. The hummus is their usual high-quality homemade version. Lamberger came out piping hot, juicy on a fresh bun and the fries are delicious. I also ordered an unsweetened iced tea and that came out just fine exactly the way I like it ice cold. Even though I sat outside and it's a bit noisy here and a bit hot. I really don't care because I do love this place. If something goes wrong here, make sure to tell them right away and they'll fix it. They're very good. Finally, let me just say how much I appreciate the consistency on your Quality as well as the freshness of their ingredients at all times. As usual, highly recommended!

I'd hate to go against the many great reviews, but I wasn't impressed with the Turkish dishes. Firstly the name is deceiving. It should be called "Tazza Turkish, Mediterranean, Greek, Italian and other international food". And yes, I know I should've picked up on that bit of knowledge from viewing the menu - I get it. On the food - the hummus and tzatziki apps were good , except the pita bread were just reheated pitas found at the local Publix. The coconut shrimps were not coconut. The mixed grill was ok. Lastly the kunefe was eh.. The Turkish coffee was good. Overall not impressed with the Turkish food. It wasn't terrible just not as authentic as I expected. And quite overpriced
