Service was horrible. The cashier had AirPods in and was scrolling on their phone. Asked me to repeat myself WHILE he continued scrolling. But thats not the worst part. Once I had my order placed and sat down to wait, I heard one of the workers in the back screaming racial slurs and obscenities. After a fairly long wait, I finally got my food. The guy who brought it out was extremely unfriendly. The food was mid. The space felt dirty. No other customers were there, and I understand why. I won't be coming back. read more

As someone who normally really enjoys Mediterranean food, I figured I would try The Olive Branch. The empty dining room should have been my first warning sign. Every other place downtown was packed with hour-long waits, while this place had nobody inside. It also took quite a while for someone to notice me and take my order. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate, which came with chicken, rice, hummus, and pita bread. Once I got back in the car and started eating on the way to my destination, I found that the pita was stale and hard, and the hummus had an unpleasant taste that made it inedible for me. I only had a few small pieces of chicken that looked very, okay -- and quite different from any chicken Shawarma I've ever had. I will say the rice was actually very good and that's all I ate from my $20 entree. In the end, I threw away about three-quarters of the meal and wish I saved the $20, as I ended up stopping somewhere else for food afterward. Overall, I'd strongly recommend steering clear of this place, especially with so many better options nearby. read more

The Falafel is wonderfully delicious--just like you would experience traveling abroad. The service is refreshingly pleasant and fast. If you are wanting a wonderful, authentic Mediterranean cuisine this is a must try restaurant! read more

Their salads are great and worth the money, but the food is too Americanized. That being said. Its tge I ky option in Farmington, shi h is why I maje my own read more

We stopped on our way through Farmington. Ordered hummus, falafel, dolmas and tabouli. Food was incredibly fresh with excellent flavor! Service was prompt and courteous. We ate at an outside table and went back in for pita bread, then again for baklava. read more

They're rude, close at inconsistent different hours. The food is subpar when I actually do get it. If you're headed to Albuquerque just wait to get better Mediterranean food there. read more

Nice experience! The music took me into their culture and was not overwhelming. Love that. The food was simple and good flavor. It is a nice place to experience another culture's food. Totally recommend to support them. read more

Olive Tree Restaurant - 22. Chicken Shish Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Farmington, New Mexico

Expect to be hungry after eating here ! Tiniest portions ever , glad I got two dishes thinking it would last two meals! Place should be ashamed charging what they do for what they give you! And tasteless! I come from this culture, and it is insulting how bad this food was! Kufta was burnt on one half...how?!?! I'm just done read more

I stopped in and got a tabouli to go. I have to say it was super good and fresh, I will be back. This place is a small market as well. I was clean. They don't take your order from the table you go to the counter and order your food to eat there or to go. a café feel with indoor and outdoor seating for children to play. read more

Amazing food in this former gas station with tons of charm. They also offer some rare groceries for sale. Be sure to ask for hot sauce and garlic sauce. The Baba Ganoish is fantastic. Worth a stop for sure. read more

Great service, good good. We had chicken kabob plate a gyro plate and a side of hummus. It was all very good. Also, we were there a bit before closing but they stayed open an extra 5 mins to let us finish, which was nice of them. read more

Their food might be great. I'll never know. Traveling through and wanted to eat there. Yelp and google shows they're open till 8pm. Got there at 7:30 on the dot and they were already getting in their cars and leaving because it was "a slow night". Then change your hours to 7:30. Sucks for someone traveling through. There already are absolute crap for options around here. read more

Passing through Farmington we found this little gem on our way to the Brewstillery. This food was top notch, we usually cant find good charred lamb anywhere. The shish lamb kabob had those delicious little charred edges that we Brits love. The tomatoes were perfect roasted and there was oddles of rice. Then we dug into the Foul and it was heavenly, I could have bathed in it. The owners are Palestinian and Dad certainly knows his way around the kitchen. It was snowing outside and I'm glad because sitting inside was more authentic. We scored some Turkish Delight and a massive bag of Dill Weed to bring home. My Lima Bean Rice with Dill is just about ready for dinner. Can't speak highly enough of this place. Please move to our bit of Florida. read more

I come from a big city in California and have been missing and craving Mediterranean food from my hometown. My family and I often make the hour drive to Farmington to shop and have always passed this place. I am glad to say I found a Mediterranean restaurant to fix my cravings! The portion size is huge and the food is affordable. The taste is always on point and they never disappoint. Staff are extremely friendly. The restaurant is also kid friendly-they have a playground on site too! read more

A nice little gem near old town. Menu has so many yummy choices that I must try. A cool spot to eat read more

We travel, a lot. This is some of the best Mediterranean food outside of New York. Period. The family that runs it cares about their guests, and if you are lucky, they will let the kids take your order; it's super cute. Highly recommend shawarma, either beef or chicken. Falafel is a MUST. read more

Great Outdoor Patio area Service was great. Food was hot and fresh. We ate our fill and still have enough leftovers for another meal. We will definitely be coming back here again. read more

We stopped by here for dinner on our way through town. It is a small, cute place. The people were friendly and prompt. The food was great! I meant to take a picture but we ate it up too fast. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Prices were reasonable. read more

Olive Tree Restaurant - They have a playground. - Mediterranean Near Me - Farmington, New Mexico

We stopped here for dinner and it ws very good. My wife had the Chicken Shish Kabob and she really liked it. The chicken was not overcooked and the rice was really good. I was not that hungry so I had Lentil Soup which was very good. This is more of a take-out place rather than a restaurant - meals are served in foam take-out containers with plastic utensils. There is also a play ground in front of the restaurant so if you have kids this may be an attraction. For me the food was the star. read more

Wow, this place is fresh and delish.... highly recommend !! Also, the prices are amazing for the amount of food. read more

This cute little new cafe had EXCELLENT customer service! The young man at the front was very personable and offered a free Turkish coffee sample while I waited for my order. Everyone wore masks and socially distanced. We do not have many options in this area so new tastes are always welcome! I had the gyro and it was so yummy! read more

Good food, good service, it's winter so I'll pass on the patio dining today lol. I'll be back again for more:)

Olive tree has excellent food, we eat there quite often and have never had a bad meal. Love the combo plate, Gyros, Hummus, Chicken Kebabs, and Falafel. The service is exacting and the indoor booths are comfortable, the kids can play outside on the playground where you can watch them from the window. read more

We showed up at 7:20, says they close at 8:00, as we were walking to the door, a guy locked the door right in front of us.. bad form.

We say they make the best gyro sandwich in the area including our town of Durango. Also enjoyed the beef kufta. Only wish they served the food on a plate and with real silverware. Instead you're eating out of a styrofoam container with plastic utensils. We'll be back. read more

I had the gyro sandwich made with lamb. It was very good. The staff was friendly and the food was delivered quickly. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Amazing food! Would love an alternative to the styrofoam but I'll eat there & hope they switch, bcz it's so good! Nice people too.

I have been here many times and the food has always been amazing. We order in sometimes too and it's just as good when it's to go. The rice has this incredible buttery flavor and texture. And their baklava is the BEST! The meals are big too. I can usually get two meals out of each order. Everyone is always nice and we love to be able to sit and eat downtown. read more

We had a late lunch here on a Sunday and it was very peaceful on the patio. Service was good and the food (chicken shish kabob) was great--their grilled chicken and the hummus are outstanding! Would definitely come here again. read more

Combo plate and gyro plate/sandwich are both equally outstanding. High quality meat and excellent flavor. So glad we found Olive Tree! Very happy to support this small family-owned local business. Highly recommended. read more

Best Mediterranean food from a once upon a time has station I've ever had. Sweet staff and fast service.

The food was delicious, friendly staff, and timely service! Will be going again! We need to support our small businesses in town and this one is 100% worth it. read more

A hidden gem in Farmington. Excellent and authentic, fresh and well-cooked. Such a sweet family who owns it. Highly recommend!

Sloppy. I don't recommend. Go to another place. It gave me food poisoning plus my friend.

A new locally owned restaurant that needs our support. That being said and maybe because they recently opened and are working things out, the chicken was so dry. The lamb was tasty and the humus was homemade with a nice citrus flavor. read more

We tried both the beef and chicken shawarma and they were equally delicious!! The hummus had a lovely citrus flavor and was the best I've ever eaten in my life! Everything was bursting with flavor and the portions are generous!! Wish this was in my hometown. read more

Currently on our way to Durango and stopped in for a bite to eat. The hummus and chicken plate was delicious! Reminded me of my grandmas cooking. The gyro plate was also a 10/10. read more

Fantastic food. The meat, rice, hummus, bread and vegetables are all cooked perfectly.

We decided to take a pilgrimage to Chaco and spend a couple of nights in Farmington. We drove by the Olive Tree and noticed the eclectic design of the restaurant so decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed at all. It has been a while since eating really good middle eastern/Mediterranean cuisine...probably not since visiting Istanbul just before COVID. The lentil soup was packed with a wide range of subtle flavors. We shard the vegetarian platter that provided a sampling cross section of the menu. We highly recommend this choice. We also shared a Gyro which was well prepared and finished it with a couple of deserts and a spot of tea. The restaurant is cleverly designed with great outside space and even a large playground. Farmington has a little gem in this place! read more
