    This place is a bit tucked away, so it's easy to miss if you're not in the Galleria area already. I guess you could call it a hidden gem. Our food was very good! We were one of two parties in the restaurant in the really late lunch/very early dinner window, so we almost had the place to ourselves. The service was fantastic. I'd have to come back during a busier time to see if the service stands up to those rushes. Heads up, if you order the Sultan, it's a lot of meat. I added a pic below. I knew I was ordering with the intent to have leftovers, but it was even more than I expected. Highly recommend splitting it! The bar is pretty, so sitting there for your meal would be pleasant as well.

    Food: Fresh Service: Very hospitable Ambience: Great for a small intimate lunch or early dinner I enjoyed my lunch here today. They had a great music selection vibe going today for Valentines playing Sade, Boy George, Art of Noise & other old school R&B artist. YELP ELITES...if you're looking for a quick intimate lunch/dinner spot come check this place out asap! What a great vibe!!! I'll be back for cocktails next time.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants! It's relatively quiet and casual, but Vlad and Valentina, the owners, make you feel like you're eating in their own dining room! The hummus is the freshest in town. Anything with their gyro meat is delicious, the rosemary chicken is fabulous and very tender, and even their lasagna is top-notch! Make sure you save some room for dessert as Valentina makes them herself. My favorite, by far, is actually not on the menu, but ask for it and hopefully you will be lucky enough to get a piece of her snickers bar cake. It is truly worth a trip in itself!

    I've had driven past this place a million times and decided to be it a try. So glad I did! We sat outside on their patio. There are only a few tables outside but it was nice. We started with the hummus which was delicious. It was a classic hummus. We both got a gyro, one with grilled lamb and one with chicken and gyro meat. Both were AMAZING. Our server was very nice and everything came out quickly. It was a great lunch and we're excited to go back and try more!

    Delicious food with heavy portions! The food was ready in the amount of time expected. This was the first time I had rice and lentils. It was delicious all around. I plan to return at some point and dine. The food seems very authentically Mediterranean.

    Mixed gyro

    Finally got a chance to try this place out and it did not disappoint. I had the mixed gyro and Greek potatoes and my husband had the lamb sandwich. My food was delicious although I would have put salt on the potatoes, but I'm a salt addiction so take that with a grain of salt

    Falafel, Hummus, Sliced Cucumbers and Cobb Salad.

    Olive Bistro is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in Atlanta! Their food is always fresh and tasty. It is a great place for meat eaters and vegans to dine together, and everyone leaves satisfied. They service is always friendly and warm. The ambiance is inviting and feels like a restaurant in Greece as opposed to Atlanta. You can tell that a Greek family is infusing love into the entire business. I love their falafel! It is some of the best in the city!

    Gyro platter, hummus and salad

    Fantastic little place. Authentic food. Great service. Feels like family. I usually get the hummus and gyro

    Side of Greek Salad

    Delicious!!! I'm on bedrest and we live across the street so my teenage son went and picked up dinner. We had: - Falafel and Dip - Rosemary Chicken w/ Hummus, Greek Salad and Lentils and Rice (mixture) - Lamb Pita Sandwich Flavors were on point. Meat was tough (too tough to eat ). Lamb, majority of the pieces were very fatty and too tough to eat so got trashed. We were able to eat about 2-3 small pieces. Chicken breast very flavorful but tough as well. They attempted to slice the chicken breast but didn't slice it all the way through which should have been a hint to the Chef. Falafel and Dip very flavorful and a bit spicy. I really enjoyed these. I will eat here again but I will request tender meat. Greek Salad was what you would expect from a Greek Salad. Yummy. Pita Bread for Hummus was given cold. I didn't like that. I would prefer it toasted but that will he requested in the future. Easy Fix I apologize for the horrible pictures, we were hungry and forgot.

    We have been wanting to come here for a long while but never found time time and special moment to…read moredo so. Since my good friend is visiting Atlanta from Washington D.C we decided to bring her here and for us to try this restaurant. Natalia greeted us at the entrance and took us to our table right away. The restaurant is simply beautiful and I who am a huge fan of Frida Kahlo loved the big portrait of hers at the main entrance. I must say Natalia was simply AMAZING!. She recommended some plates that are mostly famous by customers as well as some of her favorite ones. We ordered the Simmered Sunset drink that has Mezcal and it was sooo smoky and delicious, I just wished it tasted more like Guava though. I ordered the Carne Asada and 8 hour Brisket Tacos with a side of Black beans and white rice. The tacos were phenomenal in taste however I must say the black beans/rice combination though it didn't lack flavor, it was a bit salty. I feel like the cook put too much salt in either which perhaps they should be mindful of it. Also, I must also confess the music choices though it was classic Motown music didn't go much with the restaurant ambience and to my own personal preference was a bit too loud. I mentioned that to my partner and my friend several times so maybe they should be more mindful of the music volume and also music choices. We spoke to the manager before leaving to give him our feedback about Natalia who was the epitome of amazing customer service and what a waitress ought to be and he was very nice and approachable. We shall be back perhaps for Brunch and maybe next time around the experience will be even better!!!

We've talked about going to Mojave forever -- always "next weekend"... and then next weekend would come and go. But this time? The perfect occasion finally arrived. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt inviting and lively -- the kind of place that instantly puts you in a celebratory mood. Now let's talk about the service -- because it was truly above and beyond. Our server, Natalia, completely impressed me with her attentiveness and communication. My partner ordered two tacos and she asked what kind of tortilla he preferred. "Flour," he said. I jokingly chimed in, "Boring!" When she asked what I wanted, I said I wanted two different flavored tacos -- and she didn't even ask what kind of tortilla. When my dish arrived, I was SO excited -- she brought mine on corn tortillas without me having to say a word. She picked up on my energy and preference just from that playful moment. That attention to detail made the experience feel personal and memorable. I even spoke to the manager, Joel, to share how impressed I was. His response? He wasn't surprised at all -- which says everything about the standard they hold there. That made me love the place even more. A couple quick notes: the music was a bit loud, and sadly they didn't have masitas de cerdo (one of my absolute favorites -- I was heartbroken for a second!). But honestly, the service and overall vibe more than made up for it. We're already looking forward to our next visit -- and this time, we're not waiting until "next weekend."

They were So Good!!!! Probably the best thing we ordered. Also ordered the cornbread waffles. Nothing special - it's exactly what it says - a cornbread waffles. Probably should've tried salmon bites. I ordered the lamb chops and spinach. The portion is fairly small. I need one more side to come with this meal. The sauce that comes on the lamb chop is good. However, the lamb chops were a little tough. Lamb chops are a staple in Atlanta. They should fall off the bone. The spinach was ok; needed some seasoning. My husband ordered the catfish dinner with collards and Mac. The meal only comes with one piece of catfish. It definitely needs one more piece of catfish, especially considering that the cost of this dish and the cost of catfish. The collar greens were the best thing on his plate. My sister-in-law ordered the salmon dinner. The salmon was dry and overcooked.
