Welcomed in, first thing that got me distracted was the incredibly large selection of Mediterranean and European groceries available. Everything from Turkish Delight, Turkish Coffee (special pots included), candy, cookies, rows of spices, canned goods, olives, dolmas, oils, teas, endless.... From there I remembered i was hungry and made my way to the counter to order. That particular day i was hungry, so I ordered the Shawarma Combo chicken and beef with salad, great tasting rice, huge amount of hummus and pita. So much food. Whilst waiting, this allowed me time to stock up on spicies, canned dolmas, Turkish Coffee and some other fun stuff to experiment cooking. Food was delivered to the table and such a feast. Staff were friendly and very helpful at navigating the menu and checking for allergies.

We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted by Christian, once we walked in the door. He was so helpful with the menu and making sure as a celiac - gluten free girl, that I could safely eat. There was a ton of tables and seats available and even TV's to watch on The walls. The food was brought to our table and it was delicious. The tzatziki sauce was our favorite with the tahini sauce coming in a close second. The garlic sauce was amazing but SUPER strong. I had a salad with my dinner and their house dressing was soooooo good. I took my own GF pita with me but I'm not sure if I need to next time - I was given a plate of cucumber sliced to eat with the hummus and it was divine. We are excited to have this yummy restaurant so close.

The rice was delicious with golden raisins and slivered almonds and loved that twist. I have only one seen that once in AZ and was regular there too.

Got the boyfriend the chicken pita which was also great. So much flavor in all of it from fresh sauces and veggies. Will be back for more!

Some restaurants chase trends. Others just quietly keep making really good food year after year…read more This is one of those places. I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.

Chicken shawarma was bomb!

I had heard so many great things about Olive and Ivy, but until recently, I'd only stopped by the…read moremarketplace for a quick coffee. This was my first time dining in, and I decided to bring my mom while she was visiting me. Overall, it turned into a wonderful experience, but it did start off on the wrong foot. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's right along the Scottsdale Canal, and the atmosphere is inviting from the moment you walk in. I especially loved the open kitchen concept. Watching the team prepare drinks and food while working together so seamlessly added to the experience. You can tell everyone works as a team because multiple employees helped deliver our food and picked up our empty plates instead of leaving everything to one server. Unfortunately, our first interaction with the hostess left us feeling uncomfortable. We arrived before the dining room opened at 11:00, and she invited us to sit and wait, which was perfectly fine. However, as other guests began arriving, I noticed she was asking everyone else for their names while adding them to the waitlist. She never asked for mine. Instead, after three parties were seated before us, I politely asked why we had been skipped. Her response was that she had "grabbed my description" instead of my name. That honestly didn't sit well with me. Being identified by my appearance instead of simply being asked for my name felt unnecessary and uncomfortable, especially when everyone else was asked for theirs. We were also initially placed at a table tucked into a corner by the entrance, where there was a lot of traffic coming in and out. After I spoke up, another hostess immediately apologized and happily moved us to a much more comfortable booth, which I appreciated. Thankfully, everything changed once our server, Gustavo, introduced himself. He completely turned the experience around. He welcomed us warmly and explained the menu in detail. When I mentioned I needed a moment to translate for my mom, he immediately smiled and switched to Spanish. Seeing my mom's face light up because she could comfortably ask questions and understand everything made our lunch even more special. His hospitality was genuine, thoughtful, and exactly what great service should be. The food absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered three bruschettas the mozzarella, avocado, and strawberry goat cheese and every single one was delicious. The artichoke dip was my favorite. For our entrée, we shared the salmon, and I loved that the kitchen plated it already divided for us without us even asking. It's a small detail, but one that showed attention to the guest experience. The surprise standout was the soup of the day and that was the lentil soup. It was honestly the best lentil soup either of us has had! My mom mentioned how good the coffee was three different times, so you know it was good! On the drinks side, I asked Gustavo for his recommendation, and he suggested the watermelon sangria. After trying one, I immediately ordered a second. That's how good it was! It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and easily one of the best sangrias I've had. Even the little details stood out. The restaurant was spotless, the restrooms were well maintained, and the quality throughout the space reflected the care they put into the entire experience. Despite the frustrating start with the hostess, Olive and Ivy won us over because of the incredible food, outstanding service from Gustavo, and the beautiful atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back, and next time I'll be looking forward to the meal just as much as that watermelon sangria! "Gracias Gustavo"
