    Delicious food | Great service | Quick I just moved to the area and then I saw a post on Facebook about this restaurant giving 10% off if you show a screenshot of the Facebook post. I love Mediterranean food so I wanted to go try it. My husband and I shared the Lunch Special: Mixed Grill Platter that comes with kufta kabob, Shish kabob and gyro slices plus two sides (we picked Greek Salad and Tabouleh (+$1). We also ordered a small hummus plate. While my husband was paying, I saw that they had Baklawa and then the sweet girl that works (owns?) there gave us some to try. It was very nice of her! Everything was delicious! Meat was tasty and tender, hummus was amazing, and my husband loved the Tabouleh! Definitely coming back here!!

    I was in the mood for Mediterranean food and my normal spot was closed to my surprise. I knew Real Olive was nearby so I decided to give them a try. I was a bit confused by the menu but the guy taking my order helped me through the process. I was able to order right away as there wasn't a line. I enjoyed the food it was different than I'm used to but hit the spot.

    Food is delicious and authentic. Great portions and friendly staff. You have to stop by and try some.

    Hummus was tasty.

    I recently stopped by here for the first time. I had a meeting with some Palestinians who spoke highly about this place. When trying it, I had the humus (that's a small size) and The Sirloin Gyro. The hummus was very good and authentic. Gyro was very good with the right amount of white sauce. Had wanted to try soup but I think they were out when I was there Prices are affordable and when there in a Sunday I saw loads of people ordering food to go. I'd for sure come back here to try other stuff.

    I learned an important lesson today: sometimes you should trust your first lunch instinct…read more A coworker suggested Greek, and my mind immediately went to Adriatic Grill. Instead, we decided to try somewhere new and headed to Pita Corner in Lawrenceville. I ordered the beef shawarma with falafel. Let's start with the positives. The restaurant was clean, the dining area was well kept, and the restroom was spotless. It looked like it had just been cleaned, which I always appreciate. Now for the food. The beef shawarma had decent flavor, but it was so dry that every bite felt like a workout. The meat clung to the roof of my mouth and my teeth like it had signed a lease there. No amount of chewing seemed to improve the experience. Texture matters just as much as seasoning, and unfortunately, this missed the mark. The falafel ended up being the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful, had a nice texture, and was easily the best thing on the plate. I always like giving new places a chance, but this one just wasn't for me. While I appreciated the cleanliness and friendly environment, the food simply didn't leave me wanting to come back. If you'd like, I can also make it a little sharper and funnier for Yelp while still keeping it professional and believable.

We've had a good number of the menu items: gyro platter, Greek pizza (our favorite), kofta kabob, adana kabob platter, stromboli, spanakopita, dolmades, baklava (both walnut and pistachio), chicken sumac...and probably others I'm forgetting. We order takeout most of the time. In addition to our main order (usually a large Greek pizza), we usually get a pound of the gyro meat, half-pint of tabouli, half-pint of hummus, spanakopita, and baklava. The service is unrivaled. The owners recognize us when we come in and remember our favorites, including the fact that my housemate can't eat bell peppers, so they know to leave it off the pizza. Can't say enough good things about it, honestly.

When I walked in there was a young guy cleaning the floor and he did not speak, didn't even look up from what he was doing. When I walked up to the counter where the menus were, a lady came out from the kitchen and greeted me. It took a few minutes to decide what I wanted because they have an extensive menu. I settled on the grounded lamb or lamb kabob, as she called it and a mixed nut roll. I waited about 15 minutes to get my food. There are plenty of seats and tables and a tv if you want to dine-in. I decided to eat my meal in the car. The lamb kabob was good but it wasn't as flavorful as I anticipated. It was missing some kind of spice and I couldn't figure out which one. It does not automatically come with the Greek sauce which was disappointing. The mixed nut roll was SO GOOD! It reminded me of an almond joy with a flakey crust. I will come back to try other menu items but I probably won't get the lamb kabob again.

A Taste of Europe in Lawrenceville, Georgia, blew me away--it felt like taking a trip right back across the Atlantic! My son and I visited recently, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was clean, friendly, and deeply inviting. The food was nothing short of absolutely delicious--true, authentic European flavors made with care and quality. What made the visit extra special was the incredible service. Our servers, Dominique and Kristina, were phenomenal. Even with a full house, these two young ladies maintained complete professionalism, warmth, and genuine smiles. They checked on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and ensured every dish was to our liking. Their dedication and hard work truly stood out. Everything about our experience was superb, and I wouldn't change a single thing. If you are looking for authentic European dishes paired with top-tier, caring service right here in Georgia, you must visit this restaurant. Thank you Dominique and Kristina for your outstanding hospitality! We will definitely be back.

Great selection of Middle Eastern goods; was happy to see دبس فليفلة which I haven't seen since I was in Syria and where it is made by the barrel in homes to last the year. The deli also manages good shawarma and the hummus is so delicious! I wish they were more generous with the side of it in the plate (was less than half full). The salad was tasteless; no salt/spices, nor dressing. A previous visit I purchased two cakes: one carrot and the other chocolate. The carrot cake didn't have any carrots in it (looked, but didn't taste like traditional carrot cake), and the chocolate cake wasn't good at all (bitter) except for the frosting. The 'espresso' based coffee was lukewarm and tasteless. The person put condensed milk in it which made it worse but he did remake it without charge. He kept calling me, mama, which was unsettling to me. I have a son less than half his age. I gave only 3 stars because of the overall ambiance and the discourtesy and unfriendliness of the staff. I didn't realize it, but nothing can be returned after two weeks; the manager, however, kindly did return three items.
