I love this place for its kindness and quality food. Hospitality is top notch and so is the food. Incredible service with a smile. Hummus was creamy and delicious without being overly done. Baba ganoush has a zing and I could easily eat the whole container. The only thing missing from the menu is crazy fries. I'd love to have crispy fries loaded with everything on top. Parking is easy, in the strip center next to Herbert's. read more

I stopped here after a hair appointment because I noticed this place and a cookie place next door: perfect! I ordered the chicken and beef shawarma wraps with fries and pita chips. The one with pita chips came with fries but I didn't know til I got home. Also when I ordered I had to get all the sauces on the side; they got confused. No biggie. The food took a bit, but it's because everything is made fresh. The wraps were delicious and modestly priced. I didn't like the fries, but if you like seasoned wedge cut, their fries are for you. Each wrap also came with a lil salad and a little cup of hummus. It's a good deal and tasty. Going into the rotation for sure! read more

Shares a parking with other businesses. small cozy. comfy. I can see why people would want to order catering, they definitely have your food out fast, and they also cut it up so it's more bite size. I enjoyed my meal! staff was also super friendly as well. The chicken and beef shawarma were both good, I could definitely come back! good lunch spot for those in the area.! read more

Great food, great service. Had the beef swarma wrap and was awesome. I even walked in 20min early not realizing they didn't open at 10 and the owner let me sit while he made me the swarma early. Ill be back for sure. read more

I can see why this spot is so high rated! Went for a late dinner with my boyfriend and was happily surprised. Ordered the lamb shawarma and the lamb platter to go with grape leaves. We got offered the Turkish tea before we left with some pastry and it was DELICIOUS especially in a cold night. Everything was hot and fresh tasting as well. Will definitely return! read more

In the midst of planning a work holiday party, we weren't quite sure what to order for catering. A friend of mine kept seeing this restaurant pop up on the Memorial FB page as a must try and so we decided to give it a go! We stopped in for lunch one day and got the chicken and lamb shawarmas which came with a side of fries and some hummus. As we waited for our food, I could tell that this was a family owned business and I believe the whole family was in there working! We had a little bit of a wait bc we came in behind a large group, which I knew that meant it had to be good, but the owner and I believe his daughter were so sweet, and apologized for the wait! The wait was worth it! The food was so delicious and well flavored. I loved my chicken shawarma and the sauce they had on there with the pickles! The fries were seasoned and nicely crisp, and the hummus had a smooth texture to it. I personally love a red bell pepper hummus, so I'd love if they could offer more flavors in the future. My friend also let me try her lamb and it was delicious as well, thinly shaven meat and it just melted in my mouth! We decided that this would be the place we'd use for our catering. The owner was so helpful and gracious! We ordered for 30 people so he made recommendations on what to get, we went with the chicken, beef and lamb shawarma and falafel as well with a salad and hummus with pita! There was a lot of food and everyone really enjoyed it. The food was packed in time for our pickup and just hearing how grateful the owner was just made our day and our tummies!! read more

I felt like I was having an authentic dining experience. The server/chef/owner brought out tea after we sat down. After looking over the menu we went up to the counter and ordered. The food came out hot and delicious. The meats were well seasoned and ideal cooked. The pita was thin and warm. The hummus was flavorful and the helpings were sufficient for the price. The service was attentive and friendly. A smile goes a long way. The selling lot can get fill as it shares it with other restaurants and retail stores in this strip mall. The restaurant was clean and well kept. It felt inviting and felt like an authentic cafe. I liked it and would go back again. read more

I got the lamb platter. Everything on it was incredibly tasty. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area!

This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in town. All the food is cooked perfectly and has wonderful flavors. I particularly enjoy the falafel and lamb dishes. The baklava is also perfect and not overly sweet -- a light, tasty dessert. The owner is also super friendly and attentive to his customers. read more

I enjoyed a lovely late lunch at The Olive Branch. It's on Diary Ashford, right next to Hebert's. The owner cooks everything fresh, the presentation is beautiful, and the food is even better. I asked him what he would make himself if he were making lunch. He brought me the chicken shwarma wrap. I asked for a small side salad instead of the French fries. He brought me out complementary falafels to try and a little dessert of baklava. The meal came with complementary Turkish tea, and it was lovely. Please share this post & let's support our local small businesses. God Bless. read more

Thank you Olive Branch! This is the Mediterranean restaurant that I have been looking for since Niko Niko expanded and opened new locations so many years ago. We had gyros, chicken schwarma, grape leaves, falafel and the hummus. Everything was delicious! Beautiful presentation. The kids loved it. read more

I took a chance and ordered from the new restaurant, Olive Branch for an executive luncheon for about 20ppl....and wow! Customer service was fantastic. The man I spoke to, I assume was the owner, was super kind, very helpful in picking the menu. Everyone was asking where the food was catered from and no one spoke during lunch because they were so busy eating lol! That says a lot! My husband said it was flavorful and delicious and approves putting Olive branch on our list to cater from for future luncheons! Check this place out! It's a much needed restaurant in the area! read more

Great little gem tucked into a strip shopping center across from Stratford HS. Great food and friendly service. I had a yummy falafel wrap and it came with fries. Everything was cooked up fresh and prepared by the owner. My sister had a gyro salad that was generously proportioned and she said it was delicious. We were served a cup of hot tea while we waited for our food to come up. Give this place a try. read more

I noticed when this place opened, but it took me a while to finally try it. Today was that day. I ordered the Grilled Lamb Kebab platter. I did it as a pick up order during lunch and they had it ready FAST. The first thing I noticed was how sweet and kind they were inside. Not always important with food, but it helps me want to support a place or not. I brought it home and shared it with my husband. We were both very impressed. Everything was so flavorful and fresh tasting. We finished it pretty quickly and defintely want to go back. The lamb was so tasty and cooked well. 5 Stars to you Olive Branch!!! We will def be back. read more

Went again and just as delicious!! The chef/ lender added some of the falafel this time to our order and so good! Highly recommend you check this place out! read more

So happy we finally tried Olive Branch! I heard it was good but that's an understatement. The service and food were all fantastic. The hummus is amazing and you can tell the olive oil is high quality. It came with the best pita chips I've ever had in my life. Shwarmas are fantastic and come on a board beautifully presented. We also got to try the babaganoush and Turkish tea. 10/10 all around. Olive Branch is our new go to restaurant!! read more

Food was sooo good, great falafel and gyro. Nice people and fast service. When I e visit again will definitely come again.

Food and the service was amazing. I came with my mom and she is a foodie but it takes a bit for her to say that something is phenomenal. The entire time we were eating she kept saying how good the food was. We both got the beef kofta kabob wrap, lentil soup, and baklava read more
