This is the second time I went to Olives Mediterranean. It was as clean and bright as it was before. The menu has a large number of Greek foods and some specialty items such as ceviche and kale platter, to name a few. Another is the "Pizza Bubble", of which I saw no picture or description other than by its name. You order what you want from the signs above the counter. You find a seat. They serve you your food where you are seated. If you ordered a soda, you can get it before they serve you. The soda machine and the plastic silverware will be all the way to the left, behind where you are standing. If you look at the pictures, you will see Olives sells many types of pizza. On a previous trip, members of my party ordered pizza rather than Greek Sandwiches because the pizza was,l they said, that good. The sandwiches are so full that you cannot fold them over. The Pitas are generously filled. You won't be able to fold the pita in half. You can get yourself a knife or a fork at the soda machine. This is a nice, clean, and quiet place to have lunch or dinner. There is a big selection to choose from. If the food is not enough to get you there, then Alidi and Ikea just do it. IKEA has not opened yet. Aldi is already open. read more

Came for a late lunch, they have a decent lunch special, the soup Toscana is always excellent. The place is always clean & inviting. I was going to go with the special (2 for 1) unfortunately that's a limited menu. The shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta, it was marginal; the shrimp is boiled & added to the pasta, not baked in butter with breadcrumbs. The bread is good. The service in the bar was quick & pleasant, almost too quick, I would've liked to finish my soup before getting the entree, they arrived about 2 minutes apart. read more

Good food and very large gyro portions. Service was friendly but we had to wait several minutes when we walked up to place order. Cashier was on the phone, but I think it might have been someone placing an order. Restaurant was nice and clean. I'd go back, but I'd like a smaller gyro for a lower price. I couldn't finish this one. read more

Some friends recommended Olives recently and it just so happened that later that evening, my daughter and I were in the area and decided to check it out. It was a Friday and there were a handful of other customers, but service was friendly and fast... We ordered at the counter and sat down at a table and the food arrived within minutes. We shared a large platter with chicken, salad, rice falafel and hummus / pita. We ended up ordering a second salad as we both enjoyed that most. Prices was affordable and the experience was good... Not sure I would go out of my way to return, but I would definitely do so if in the area. Thanks Olives! read more

Olives Mediterranean Grill - Entrance - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Everything on the menu is delicious! Good value. Great people. Always very clean, and always very good.

I have eaten at Olives off and on over the years, and while I initially thought they were just okay many years ago, over the last several years, any time I have eaten there, I've been impressed. From the food to the service to the promotions, I've been sold that this really is a great Mediterranean grill restaurant! The staff seem to really be passionate and wanting to offer a quality and flavorful meal for a great deal to customers. They make their pita and pizza dough (yes, they actually have pizza!) from scratch. Yum! Whether you order falafel or any of the other dishes, their Mediterranean recipes will get you thinking of them when you order from another similar restaurant. Great flavors! I also was struggling to figure out what to order today so I asked for some suggestions. I ended up going for the Philly Pita, which was delicious! I opted not to go for a combo meal though they had a bunch of great options if I was hungrier than I was. They had a pita option and a soft bread option. I tried the second today as I had the pita previously. Both were great! The best part was that I had barely sat down before my meal was ready and brought to where I was sitting. Amazing! Speaking of seating, there was plenty of seating available. They are open Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM, and Sunday from 11 AM to 3 PM. If you go to their website (https://olives.cafe), you can see their menu, provide feedback, and order online. Also, after your first purchase, you can sign up for their reward program and earn points on every order that you can then use to redeem for a discount on future orders. I haven't been there in more than a year and found I had more than $5 in credit when I stopped by today. Just make sure to select the loyalty program on the bill pay screen before you pay to get credit. Plus, sometimes they e-mail out coupons (I had a 20% off coupon today to use). Even Yelp had a discount at one point there where you got 20% off by saying a fun phrase of theirs. Easy to save some money when going there for good food! I live near Olives, so I really don't know why I don't go more often. After today, I have every reason to plan to do so again in the near future, and perhaps I'll bring my wife or others instead of just a book next time. read more

Stopped by Olives for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with the food and great customer service. I was greeted upon arrival and exit by the restaurant cashier/staff. They made sure to ask if I had any questions pertaining to the menu. As a pescatarian they had a few options for me and I decided to go with the vegetarian plate. The sauces were very good and the food also. I took my order to go and did not wait longer than 7 minutes for it to be ready. I would return again in the future. I was given a 10% discount on my order and I made sure to tip! They also gave me a 15% off card for next time i decide to come back. Restaurant was clean and did not have any odd smells would definitely return again! read more

Olives Mediterranean Grill - Cesar salad with salmon - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'll start of and say the food wasn't bad. It was cooked good but didn't have much flavor which I can't be too upset about given you can add salt and pepper. Chicken was cooked well but the sauce that came with it also was somewhat bland. The service was good so can't complain there. I do have to point out there was a couple dead bugs lying around and one was next to a table behind me. The price is what I'd expect for any restaurant nowadays but for the quality of food given it wasn't very well seasoned, it is a little pricey. The fries that came with my wrap also tasted frozen. Appreciated the service just wish the food wasn't more tasteful. The bugs might've added some flavor. I guess I have to try it next time. read more

Olives is a really great spot for a quick Mediterranean meal. This space is very casual and large, lots of sitting options. I enjoyed the chicken and steak platter. It was piled high with flavorful rice. I also added on a Greek salad (two of us were eating). I really loved all of the sauces available. Ash was very pleasant and helpful. read more

Excellent food and prices! I had the Mediterranean platter with baba ghanoush, and it was delicious. I will definitely be going there again!

The best food ever, the chicken is tender and the salad is always fresh. Decided to try fish and chips, blew me away so good. Better than any 5 star restaurant. I have never had a bad meal and eat there once a week. Best fast and delicious food like a 5 star restaurant. read more

Decent Takeout Experience with a Small Hiccup: We decided to order dinner from here tonight through Uber Eats, and overall, the food quality was pretty decent. The cilantro hummus and pita bread were definitely a highlight- both were fresh and flavorful. For my main, I ordered the falafel pita. While the falafel itself was good, I was a bit disappointed that it came with just lettuce and falafel, missing the onions that were mentioned in the description (I had specifically requested no tomatoes, so the absence of onions was notable). On a positive note, the chicken plate was really good. The meat was incredibly tender and very well-seasoned, which made for a satisfying main course. Another great dish was their Greek fries. It was a mixed bag, but some dishes definitely shined. If you're looking for a quick and generally decent option for Mediterranean, it's worth considering, just double-check your order for specifics! read more

Delicious. Here for work and decided to stop and have some Mediterranean. Couldn't have picked a better place. The chicken was seasoned so well, the salad was fresh. Ordered a side of rice and it was a big portion. Coworker ordered the veggie plate and the falafel was crunchy, great flavor and filling! Customer service was excellent. The girl was helpful and explained the sauces they had of course had to get some garlic sauce. Definitely will come back when in town. read more

Stopped in on Saturday around 2pm with some friends to grab a bite while running errands. It's a fast-casual place. We weren't sure what to split, and they gave us great advice! We were given a good option on what to split, and it was delicious!! It tasted authentic, and it seemed like such an easy place to grab food. I would definitely make this my place to grab takeout on busy nights! read more

We stopped in tonight to give Olives Mediterranean Grill a try. We noticed it when we stopped in at Habit Grill next door last week. We tried the Falafel Pita combo with fries & a drink. We also ordered the Falafel & Hummus Plate. Both were very good. They were freshly made, great taste and portion size right on point. It's moderately priced and great customer service. Fast and Friendly, super clean environment. Would recommend to anyone. Family owned, love supporting Mom & Pop places. read more

This place is so good! A lot of fresh and healthy options, all packed with flavor and spice. I got the kale and quinoa salad which was packed with toppings and chicken. They are not shy with their portions, especially when it comes to the meat. All their sauces are delicious, and the fries were nice and crispy. Honestly, I kind of love the paper plates too because it's cleaner to me. The customer service is always amazing too. You should definitely stop by for some lunch and give this place a try. read more

We love this restaurant so much. We came back a second day for lunch. It was really wonderful. I do a lot of grilling with chicken and different types of meat and the chicken that they had here for the Greek salad was wonderful. The Greek salad sounds really fresh nicely made dressing with homemade would highly recommend And the service was wonderful. Ambience was also nice and clean. read more

Wow, unbelievable quality and taste in the food. The meat on the plate was very tender and flavorful, everything tastes fresh. The pizza was delicious, hot and crispy. The service was great, everyone had a nice smile and checked on us often. Thank you, we will definitely be back! read more

This place is great! It's casual and they are fast. I've tried all the hummus flavors and they are all soooooo good, and the pita is so fluffy, warm, and tasty. Every time I order online, my order is always ready when it says it will be. The only reason I took a star away is because the portions are small for the price and the chicken kabob isn't consistent - sometimes it's extra flavorful and other times it's bland. Please get an app!!! read more

Perfect meal! The Chicken Shawarma plate was sooooo full of flavor. The rice was moist and tender tasty- and of course the pillowy pita. My husband loved his Gyro Pita. Appears to be family run with friendly customer service. So happy to rediscover this healthy option. read more

I stopped in last night for a to-go order. The hummus, pita, and service were great. The girl at the front desk was very helpful in my ordering. The chicken shawarma was extremely dry. I put the tzatziki sauce on it which was delicious but it just couldn't save it. It was too overcooked! I can't say much about the ambiance because it was a to-go order but the restaurant looked and smelled clean. I will be back but definitely ordering something else. read more

The food was very good. The staff was so friendly we had to come back two days later. They offer pizza too. I didn't try it but they said it is very good. The plates we ordered had lots of flavor and we enjoyed our time. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice vibe to it. read more

This place is wonderful! You order at the counter and they bring you your food. The kitchen and restaurant are immaculately clean, spacious seating and colorful decor. The menu is huge and easy to read. We had a large hummus that came with two piping hot pieces of pita. We then had a falafel sandwich with rice. It was fantastic!! We also had a kale and quinoa salad with grilled chicken. The portion was large and the presentation was colorful. It tasted wonderful and the chicken was moist and tender. We were thrilled with this restaurant and will definitely be back!! read more

Wahhh, based on the reviews, I really really wanted to love this spot more! I have a local Greek spot in my neighborhood that I visit weekly so I had some high expectations going in. The service was friendly and pretty quick but I was the only person in there for most of the wait. I got the grilled chicken plate which came with rice, 2 very sad looking tomato slices, and some red onions. It comes with a side of tzatziki and warm pita which were both great! Thank goodness for the sauce because the dish definitely needs it. I added on a small Greek salad, all totaling to $15, and it just didn't knock my socks off. It was pretty basic! The Greek salad dressing was delicious and seems like they do make it in house, which is a plus! :) I prefer crumbled feta because the two little cubes just didn't hit every bite. I also ordered some chicken tenders for my son and they looked even worse quality than the freezer tenders that I buy at the grocery store but hey, he ate them! All in all, I've had tastier fast casual Mediterranean food but if you're in the area and in need of a healthy food option, it is a decent one! read more

The gyro was very tasty. The pita bread is not authentic pita bread, tastes like bread/ pizza dough baked. Need to improve on the pita or don't serve it. read more

In California we would call this place Bomb.com, in the restaurant industry we would call this as fresh as it gets. Ashureena picked what I ordered because I am a picky foodie from California and I always trust the staff knows what's best. I inhaled every bite and should've ordered the Baklava also but I am trying to watch my sleek, Porsche like figure. I recently moved to AZ and thank goodness this spot is so close to one of my jobs. The food pictured below was so flavorful and delicious, I will definitely be back soon. The music they play is chill, relaxing, and I love the vibe. All of the staff in the building were kind and helpful, a very pleasant experience and lunch. Thank you all!!! read more

Olives Mediterranean Grill - #2 Gyro Salad and Pop :) - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have passed by this quaint little place several times and finally decided to give this place a try. I decided on a chicken shawarma pita with a side of Tzatziki sauce. It seemed portable enough to eat;while driving home. I was also given a side of their garlic sauce. I have to say this is one of the best pitas I have ever tasted. The pita was so fresh, soft and pliable. The chicken was seasoned very well and their splice blend they used it was very warm. The spices they used were similar to a Chinese 5spice blend, which I really love. Their homemade sauces were really amazing they had body to them. I find that a lot of sauces are pretty watery and runny; this was not the case. I see they make a focaccia too! I can't wait to try one of theirs... I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this spot. read more

I have eaten here 3 times now and The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is clean, and the staff are so nice and friendly. What more can you ask from a Greek restaurant. I highly recommend eating at Olives Mediterranean Grill read more
