    Chicken kabob
    Adrianna S.

    Yummy strikes again! Heart-warming, taste-bud satisfying meals remind me of a lovingly-cooked meal from a Mediterranean home. Chicken kabob was delicious, as were all the tasty sides. The owner has a warm smile and kindly attends to all patrons, always with a warm spot of tea! My go-to for delicious weekday fast meal!

    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!!

    Mixed Grill Platter - Takeout

    Everything tasted great! I ordered take out with DoorDash. The food was prepared on time and properly. Big fan of the lamb kabab and grilled chicken kabab.

    Quiet Mediterranean cafe. Dropped by during lunch hour and received quick efficient service. While I got my meal as take out, the meals coming out of the kitchen were well presented with amazing aromas filling the cafe. The lentil soup was smooth and well seasoned. The chicken was juicy and the hummus was creamy. Definitely recommend.

    5 stars!! Really delicious food and super friendly staff. Left feeling super stuffed. A must visit if you like Mediterranean food!

    Really good chicken shawarma and presentation. It's small but it's family owned and you can tell they happy to serve.

    Really nice local little restaurant. The lamb was superbly cooked!! The gyro sandwich was so full of flavor. Rice was really nicely cooked! The staff is really lovely and we ended the meal with a beautiful cup of tea. Will be back. Everything looked and tasted good!

    Tea

    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.

    Complementary Turkish Tea
    Shanelle E.

    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.

    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!

    Having been to Greece, I have an idea of what's authentic and Athena's is the best Greek restaurant…read morein town! I'm surprised I hadn't reviewed them yet, it's our family's go to Greek spot. Friendly atmosphere and service! Great for both dates AND family (as seemingly only Greek and Italian places do best). Of course I can't go to a Greek restaurant and not start with appetizers. Their feta and olives are fantastic! For a main, try their lamb shank-- super tender and flavorful.

    I had the lamb shank for lunch one day with my chosen side dish of Greek potatoes for $23. The meal…read morecame with a nice side salad to start along with some buttered bread. When the entree arrived I thought the lamb shank looked small. Taste wise it was good but I have had better. Also the potatoes were as advertised however their appearance and taste to me was average. If I ordered this meal again I would order another side dish perhaps the rice. This meal was a 3.5. Another visit was for dinner was to try the Kokkinisto entree for $21. Again this meal comes with the same enjoyable side salad with bread and I chose the Briami as the supplied side dish. The Kokkinisto (Greek beef stew) arrived on a bed of rice and covered in its herbed tomato sauce with garlic and onions. The Briami was in a separate bowl of stewed veggies in a light tomato sauce. I liked this meal better. The stew had good flavor with tender beef and a tasty red sauce. Also the veggies were good tasting too. I gave this meal a 4. Finally the waitress was very friendly. I believe her name was Jennifer? I like this restaurant and believe they serve good tasting and authentic Greek food.

Only one other table was occupied, and someone who seemed to be the owner warmly greeted my group of 5 with some menus and an offer for Turkish coffee and tea. The lunch special is quite generous, and includes a wide array of starters and entrees. With 5 people, we tried 5 different appetizers and 5 different entrees and got a good sampling of their menu. The chicken shish kebab, falafel, lamb kebab, and menemen were all well seasoned and paired nicely with the many dishes of rice, salad, and flatbread they all came with. The lentil soup was also delicious. I was with my parents, who really only have a desire to eat East and Southeast Asian food, but they still enjoyed our meal here, which is saying a lot.

    Istanbul was an average experience for me. There are very limited vegetarian options and I was sad…read moreto see that falafel sandwiches are only offered until 4pm. The only two entrees I could see were a falafel plate and a cheese pida for vegetarians. I opted for the the cheese pida and a salad as I felt like my dinner needed some vegetables. The salad was plain tasting consisting of a lemon based dressing and cubes of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper. The dressing was not strong and I wished it had more flavor. I took it home and added my own dressing from home the next day. It's unfortunate that they charge an additional $1.50 for feta cheese which would have elevated the salad flavor. The cheese pide was good and a very large portion size. I wish there were some vegetables added however. The dough was delicious. Istanbul grill does make good bread. The pita bread was also good, very soft, and tasted fresh. It was busy on a Saturday night. Decor is minimal inside and ambiance was family friendly. Most of the tables were families with children. I will note that the interior was on the warmer side for a November night. Overall likely would not return just because of limited vegetarian food.
