    Chicken and cheese panini. I substitute the ciabatta for whole wheat bread.
    Maria K.

    Olive Express is my go to favorite lunch spot since I work in Reston. My usual is the chicken and cheese panini and I can tell you it is the most delicious panini I have ever tasted! I use Uber Eats to order my lunch and the service is always prompt and the panini arrives hot. I highly recommend this as a great and healthy lunch spot in the Reston area.

    I've been here three times in the last two weeks because it's close to work and their food and prices are super reasonable! Their falafel platter and sandwich is fantastic! I can't get over the falafels tho because it perfection. You'll just have to try it for yourself. The chicken shawarma is decent and they have a wide variety of salads and sandwiches. The workers are friendly and the service is good but not as fast as I'd like for lunch. Can't blame them tho because they're packed during lunch hour but all their food is ready to go so you can take it back to your desk or eat in the restaurant that has a few tables and couches. This is a great restaurant for lunch especially if you're in the area!

    See those 2 tiny slivers of avocado? That's $0.75 extra.

    I usually like their sandwiches but this just makes me mad. I got the turkey and cheese panini with added avocado. This whole sandwich cost $7.16, tax included. This cost way too much!!

    Chicken gyro plate!

    I really enjoy this place. I order from here once a week for lunch, and I am always impressed with the consistency. The hummus is actually very tasty, and the Gyro is decent. I am a fan of the Gyro plate instead. I get the falafel appetizer every time, and really this could be a meal by itself since it comes with pita. The meat in the dish is always very tender. I have tried the Chicken Currry Kabob which is very tasty. I prefer the Mixed Grill Kabob because it comes with all three meats (chicken, steak, and ground beef). That is my go to dish actually. That is served with seasoned rice. I have not tried the pita's but my co-worker seems to like them. I am not a fan of the regular Gyro or the Turkey club sandwhich. Overall, this is a really good go to place for lunch. Quality food, with great prices. I will be back.

    Everything below still applies but I feel so reliant on Olive Express now and I love the service here especially!! Such a comfortable and cozy place.

    If you're into Mediterranean food you have to try Olive Express. The food is authentic, fresh, and best of all tasty. I definitely recommend getting one of the platters; comes w/ the right amount of portions to keep you full without weighing you down. This isn't the type of place that you would go to have a fancy meal, it's more like a Mediterranean deli and you can order pickup/delivery. This is my new go to when grabbing lunch during the work week! The location is tough tough to find, see my picture for the description.

    I've ordered from Olive Express about 4 times and have considered their food "ok". This is an option for Friday lunch at my school and it's always a treat to have something different to end the week. Today I ordered the buffalo chicken salad with blue cheese for $10. When I received my lunch I was shocked at the size. For $10 I expected more salad and for the lettuce to be edible. Unfortunately, much of the lettuce had to be thrown out and the ranch (that I didn't order) it was sour tasting. I won't be ordering from here again.

The mezze sampler offered a fantastic variety of fresh flavors, the watermelon and feta appetizer was refreshing and unique, and the cocktails were both creative and expertly crafted.

The service was attentive, friendly, and helped make the evening even more enjoyable.

The staff has always been friendly and attentive. On this visit, we ordered the appetizer sampler, lamb chops, and the Adana kabab. Everything was excellent. The appetizer sampler is a great way to start the meal, the lamb chops were cooked perfectly, and the Adana kabab was flavorful and well seasoned. My only disappointment came at the end of the meal. We were planning to order dessert, but the kitchen had already closed. It would have been nice if our server had stopped by a few minutes earlier to let us know the kitchen was about to close and ask if we wanted to order anything else. That small bit of communication would have made the experience even better. Overall, this is still a great restaurant with delicious food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Just keep in mind that the kitchen may close earlier than you expect, so if you're thinking about dessert or another course, order it before the kitchen shuts down.

    A wonderful place for a special event with excellent food and service…read more We recently held our daughter's baby shower at Taste of Old Country in Manassas and could not have been happier with how everything turned out. The restaurant is very nice inside and also sells a variety of olive oils and other specialty items. We actually used some of their olive oil packages as prizes for the games during the shower, which worked out perfectly. Elias and Zachery were wonderful from before the event began while we were setting up, throughout the entire shower, and even afterward while we were cleaning up. They obviously knew how to handle an event like this and seemed to know exactly what needed to happen as our guests began arriving and the shower progressed. We had two long tables set up for our group, one seating 14 and the other 12 people. I thought the tables and place settings looked wonderful, and they allowed us to add our own table runners, pumpkin-themed centerpieces, and decorations along both sides of the room. When it was time to eat, the food was set out buffet-style along the bar near the back. The menu was Mediterranean based and included spanakopita, cheese pies (not pizzas), artisan sandwiches, meatballs, stuffed grape leaves, and other items. Everything was absolutely delicious, and there was certainly no shortage of food. We had enough for everyone at the shower, enough left for dinner for eight of us afterward, and still had leftovers for two families to take home. The staff did a great job throughout the event without making us feel rushed, and the entire experience was comfortable and relaxing. Considering the beautiful venue, excellent service, quality and amount of food, and how smoothly everything went, I thought the price was an excellent value. Overall, Taste of Old Country helped make our daughter's baby shower a wonderful event and one we will remember for a long time. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a place in the Manassas area for a shower, family gathering, or other special event. Definitely a five-star experience. Enjoy!

It was moderately busy and there seemed to be a single waiter which was not a problem as the space is small. He was very polite and attentive explaining the menu and what items may take longer in case we were in a hurry. The food was fantastic. We didn't have anything that we wouldn't order again or didn't enjoy. The Margarita pizza was the highlight for us but the mini spanakopitas were a close second. Portions are a healthy size too. We loved it here and can't wait to come back.

We did not make a reservation but fortunately, were were able to sit at a high top table near the bar. Then our waitress came over and explained the menu and suggested some drinks. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. For drinks we ordered a cucumber tequila drink and a rum cocktail. The cucumber cocktail was refreshing and wasn't too strong. The rum cocktail was a bit bitter and we were not able to drink so we ordered the cucumber drink instead. For our entrees we ordered the Paidakia which was lamb chops with asparagus and potatoes. We also ordered Arni Youvetsi which was the lamb shank braised with wine tomato sauce over orzo. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection as I ordered them medium well. The asparagus and potatoes were well seasoned and very tender and flavorful. The lamb shank was delicious as the meat fell off the bone. It was both very tender and flavorful. The orzo was cooked to perfection and the wine sauce complemented the lamb shank quite well. Overall, it was a great experience. I always enjoy Greek food and Nostos was no exception. I will return soon to try some other entrees. If you are in the area, I recommend stopping by. Cheers!
