Greek Fries
Tanya B.

I was visiting my mom in FL and wanted to try a new restaurant that was healthier. I saw that this was a Mediterranean place and I'm half middle eastern so I grew up with similar foods, so I know what is authentic and what tastes good. So we decided to get Olive U Mediterranean Grill for dinner ordered through uber eats. I ordered their create your own bowl with green falafel (there are two different kinds but most places have the green one), turmeric rice, extra tomatoes, cucumbers, extra pickles, chickpeas, feta cheese, house sauce, tahini, tzatziki, and hummus. Though the veggies were fresh, the food had absolutely NO flavor.... Not even the hummus tasted of anything except chickpeas (there should be some lemon and olive oil for example). While it was healthy and fresh, it having no flavor isn't what I'm used to. I didn't even have more than a few bites. The pickles were ok. My mom ordered the same thing but with the chicken shawarma and rice with lentils. She mentioned the same thing, no flavor despite having the chicken instead. If you know anything about middle eastern or Mediterranean food it NEVER lacks flavor, so this was very disappointing. We also ordered the Greek Fries which has their house sauce, feta cheese and paprika. I would say that despite being a bit soggy (probably due to it being delivered), this was the only menu item we got which had any sort of flavor at all. We ordered the Cilantro Lime Hummus as well, and I really wanted to like this, but unfortunately despite the slightly good flavor from the cilantro and lime combo, it had a distinct waxy aftertaste almost like when your lipstick gets in your food. I'm not sure what would cause this but maybe it just wasn't that fresh? Either way we both were left feeling hungry. I didn't have much to experience as far as service except that they included everything that was ordered in the bag and it was packed well. TLDR: Olive U Mediterranean Grill clearly doesn't love you if they are offering food with absolutely no flavor at all. Also, the cilantro lime hummus was waxy and artificial tasting. Despite the veggies being fresh, and the fries being ok, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially not for an authentic experience.

We ordered at Olive U Mediterranean Grill in Wellington, FL -- here's what went down: Chicken & Lentils Bowl Grilled chicken, lentils, rice, pickles, jalapeños, banana peppers -- bursting with flavor. 9.5/10 Greek Fries Perfect seasoning + creamy feta. Massive flavor. EASY 10/10 Gyro Bowl Cinnamon rice, gyro meat, cucumbers, tomatoes -- that rice is insane. 9/10 Pita + Hummus Warm, soft, and so good. Baklava Not too sweet, super crunchy. 9.5/10 Want to see the full video ? Check us out on YouTube: J.D Ovalle, Instagram. J.D_Ovalle And TikTok: J.Dovalle1

Great place with delicious food and fast service. Definitely enjoyed how delicious and fresh everything was. Nice atmosphere inside and wasn't busy. Definitely recommending the place.

We had a good dinner here. But, full disclosure, I'm not a fan of bowl food. I don't like everything smushed together. So take this review with a grain of salt. My husband was craving a salad for dinner as we'd had a big lunch. I remembered coming to one of their other locations for a Yelp West Palm event many years ago. And that they had a salad based option. So we decided to check them out. You go through the line by starting with a "base". We both chose salad. Other choices include rice or lentils or hummus. Then you choose your protein. I got their chicken shawarma. It's the same as their plain grilled chicken, but with added seasonings like cumin and curry. It's not spicy at all. My husband chose felafel. These are fried chick pea balls with herbs. Then there are your choices of toppings and sauces/dressings. There are 10 possible toppings. I chose their vinaigrette dressing. He had the house one. In addition, I added some hummus on the side. This was a small cup. You can also have a much larger hummus appetizer with a slice of pita. The chicken was a bit dry so the hummus was a good addition. We did feel like we were getting some fiber and eating "healthy". He was very happy with his choices and his meal.

Literally my favorite Mediterranean spot! As a vegan, finding a place that gets both fries and falafel right feels like a small miracle, and Olive U absolutely delivers. The fries are perfectly crispy, the falafel is flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right, and everything tastes like it was made with care. It's one of those spots I keep coming back to because the food is consistently satisfying and seriously delicious. Definitely one of my go-to places when I'm craving Mediterranean food.

The best Mediterranean bowl I've had in a very long time. I love the flavors that they offer and the customization of the bowls is fantastic for anyone on a strict diet. I'm on a high protein and lower sodium diet (even though I got a bit of the pickled cabbage, I couldn't help myself lol) and they hooked the food up for me exactly how I want! Fast and efficient crew. Very polite as well. Easily 7 stars, but I can only give 5

I heard about their excellent gluten-free options and decided to give it a try. The staff patiently explained all the gluten-free items, which made me feel confident in my choice. I built a rice bowl with yellow rice as my base and opted for double protein: the Olive U Chicken and Falafel. The toppings bar was so fresh and vibrant. I added Romaine lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, feta, garbanzo beans, pickled cabbage, cucumbers, and olives. The house sauce and tahini dressing were amazingly flavorful and creamy. The cilantro hummus was also very yummy. Dining in was an enjoyable experience. The space was spotless and staff checked in twice to make sure we had everything we needed. That kind of attentive service really stands out in 2025. But the real star was the Greek fries. Topped with that incredible house sauce and crumbled feta, they were so good I'm still dreaming about them! On days I don't want to cook or want a healthy fast-food fix, Olive U has become my go-to spot.

Shawn, Mackenzie and Emily were friendly and helpful! Location is clean and the parking was simple. The options of food were plentiful. Lots of fresh toppings to enhance your bowl. The chicken is made to order and had lots of flavor. Great quote place to grab lunch or an easy to go order.

Food was excellent. Veronica the manager came over asked about our experience and was a joy. Definitely recommend. Corporate should open a restaurant in east Ft Lauderdale on US 1 between Sunrise and OPB.

Great place to eat comfortable

5 Review for Olive U I had an amazing experience at Olive U! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with top-tier service from Veronica, who was so good at what she does that I genuinely thought she owned the place. Her leadership shines through in the entire staff--everyone was friendly, professional, and efficient. The restaurant itself is clean, well-organized, and makes it incredibly easy to pick a healthy meal for the day without sacrificing flavor or variety. And the best part? The prices are just right! Honestly, Veronica deserves her own location (with the owner's blessing, of course!). Loxahatchee/Westlake NEEDS an Olive U, and if Veronica is running it, I know it will be just as excellent as this one. Highly recommend this spot!

Ms. C.

The staff is very friendly and efficient! The food is delicious and fresh. The place itself is thoroughly cleaned. We will definitely be back!

I was visiting friends, and since her family is pretty big, this has become their go-to restaurant. She mentioned that the staff never hesitates when a large party walks in and always accommodates everyone without making it feel like an inconvenience. The dining room is one large, open space with tables throughout, creating a lively atmosphere. I absolutely loved it. It was filled with people enjoying incredible food, and you could tell this place was a local favorite. Of course, I had to start with one of their Greek beers, served in a traditional beer mug, which was the perfect way to kick off the meal. We also ordered the tzatziki and hummus sampler, and I'm so glad we did. The flavors were unbelievable, and they were incredibly generous with the warm pita bread. Honestly, I ate so much of the sampler that by the time it came to order my entrée, all I could manage was a piece of grilled chicken. Even then, I found myself dipping the chicken into the hummus and tzatziki because they were just that good. I left completely full, happy, and even had leftovers to take home. The staff was fantastic--everyone worked together seamlessly, helping one another and making sure every table was taken care of. It created such a welcoming atmosphere. After eating here, it's easy to understand why this restaurant has so many outstanding reviews. The food, service, and overall experience absolutely live up to the hype.

Next to the restaurant there are amazing stores and when your done eating you can go shopping. I got the Greek salad which is a staple there, the fresh vegetables and the cheese is the right amount of bite. I would have ordered two salads because you really want your own. We had the warm pita bread with the taziki, the best part of the meal, this is freshly made and trust me, you taste the garlic in every bite. It's so fresh and homemade. The spanakopita is ok, I get it every once in a while but it's not my favorite. They make a lot of good dishes. I highly recommend this place.

And brought guests constantly . The food was always well prepared and at a reasonable price. The owner was always very friendly. BUT I will never again go back to Sofra after my experience last night. Last night I went with a couple of people that I had raved about this restaurant to. The owner, who certainly must've recognized me from the countless times I've eaten there in five years, barely grunted at me and the vibes I got from him were not very welcoming. He seemed really angry about something and was taking it out on his customers. There was only one other table that had customers and this was a Friday night. I found that really odd because other restaurants surrounding Sofra had lots of people sitting outside eating at their restaurants I ordered a falafel plate and others at our table ordered the İskender and another entrée. I practically passed out when I got the bill because I guess I didn't check the prices when I was ordering. The falafel plate, which was basically a spoonful of salad, a spoonful of rice, a few hard burned falafel, soup and a dribbling of tahini was $33. This is obscene. When this restaurant first opened they were charging for the same plate $15 and then they went to $25 after a few years which I thought was pretty high for the food we were getting but $33 is just plain greedy. I won't even do a review on the other two entrées because my party could barely eat them. I now see why there was nobody, literally nobody in this restaurant on a Friday night. And the owner, what happened to him? he used to be such a friendly guy and now he is just an angry man. The waitress never went back to check on us and refill our water after taking our order. Despite only two tables with customers in this restaurant. I read some of the reviews where owner says he hates the fucking country so why doesn't he just leave? There's plenty of really good Mediterranean restaurants that are not going to charge this kind of money for Mediterranean food. Even if the felafel was the best falafel I've ever eaten in my entire life - $33 is crazy. And it was not very good felafel - in fact all the food is mediocre. Where it once was amazing. So my suggestion to the owner is to lower his prices, improve the quality of his food and improve his attitude

Sunday brunch at Skillets with Sophia. What a great way to start the week…read more Sat on the outside patio. Enjoying a sunny day with our best friends from med school and residency who left the winters of PA behind to live in Florida. Celebrating life, family and friendship. Ordered a Mediterranean Skillet with skillet potatoes and a sunny side up egg. (You know I already looked at the quite extensive menu the night before.) My hubby ordered the same to match me. Our friends got a My Big Fat Greek Omelet and a Heathy Omelet with onions added. The skillet potatoes are more like a scalloped potato casserole. Milk, cream, cream cheese, scallions and shredded potatoes. So rich and creamy. The Mediterranean Skillet adds grilled red onions, mushrooms, peppers, Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and a generous sprinkle of goat cheese. Topped with two eggs, it is decadently delicious. Bread options included scones, toast or biscuits. Our table tried all of them. My scone was so delicious. I only ate half because my skillet was so delicious and so filling. My friend loved her biscuit and my hubby loved his scone. Sophia was great. She kept checking on us with a warm smile and refills of coffee. Lots of parking on a Sunday morning. A great breakfast for four. Very reasonable prices for fresh skillets and omelets. Hopefully we will be back on another visit to the Sunshine State.

Diner vibes, but cleaning than the typical dive diner. Everybody's order was on point and we were all pleased with our meals. The skillets were good, a little disappointing that it came is a dish and not a small cast iron, could've really improved the skillet potatoes layer. The bacon is clearly good quality pig, but could've used a little crisp to it. The OJ was fresh squeezed and served in a frosty beer mug. Never had OJ in a frosty beer mug before, but I'm not mad at it, and the juice was delicious. Not about to start telling everyone that they need to go try this place, but I'd go back without hesitation
