    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.

    VEGETARIAN PLATE
    Deja B.

    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!

    Cesar salad with salmon

    Everything! Ash was so sweet, pleasant, helpful. Food was excellent! Service was prompt!

    Bug on ground

    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.

    This Family Run Cafe serves Traditional Mediteranian Dishes. Everything is made to order; added species with Tahini and Tzatziki dips. Large Greek Salad and Pita. Delivered to my booth w a Warm Smile. Anything they serve is Going to be OMG. Highly Recommended by Jeffrey M a.k.a. JazzyJeff

    GREEK SALAD
    Amber M.

    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.

    CHICKEN PLATE
    Maria M.

    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.

Then was given two out of a bunch of stacked containers behind the register. If I hadn't inquired wouldn't have known. In past visits they always walked around with a tray and offered. This was dry as well..... I do appreciate free but not dry. I was willing to pay. I probably caught them on an off night, business was good which is always a good sign. I'll give them another shot but won't order the Chicken Chips.

Every detail you notice is extravagant and purposeful. Visiting on a Saturday for lunch, there were plenty of other families eating together too.

As all 4 of us weren't super hungry, we split the Persian Room Special- Combination of barg (Filet mignon), chicken filet and Koobideh kebab, served with basmati rice and grilled tomato. It was a huge portion of food, served on a large silver platter. The menu states that it serves 2, but it perfectly filled us 4 adults! Granted, we weren't super hungry to begin with, but 2 is definitely an underestimate. I'd say it can easily satisfy 3 hungry adults. Anyway, quantity aside, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Everything was so flavorful and paired well together. The meat was also juicy. My favorite was the koobideh kebab for sure. There isn't much more I can say, as the food speaks for itself. The Persian Room is definitely something you need to try for yourself. Weeks later, I'm still craving it and will definitely be back!

I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value.
