Great place, amazing food. I hadn't had much Mediterranean food and this is about to be my second home. Great place to grab lunch for a good price. read more

I pass this place all the time and finally decided to stop in. I ordered my food through yelp. I was pleased to see was ready when I got there. I ordered the shish tawook and the grilled veggie platter with no mushrooms for entrees and side of olives/feta and rice pudding. I have to give it a 3 because the grilled platter had mushrooms on it and the chicken was a little dry but flavorful. If I had been allergic the meal would be inedible. On the positive side, Real Olive has the best hummus and fresh pita bread I have eaten from a restaurant. The hummus was smooth, well blended and lemony. The staff was pleasant and I will be back to try again. read more

Ordered a gyro among other things. Inside the sandwich I found a wad of the paper they wrap the sandwiches with. It was stained with the meat juice, so obviously had fallen into the meat tray and looked like the meat. Nonetheless it was very disturbing to find it in my sandwich. We called the restaurant and spoke to the manager. Instead of apologizing and owning up to the mistake, he tried to make out like we had mistakenly eaten the wrapper. The wrapper was on the OUTSIDE, duh! Basic Restaurant Customer Service 101 : when a customer complains (legitimately), you should 1) apologize, 2) don't make excuses, but affirm you'll look into it to make sure it doesn't happen again, and 3) offer to comp the meal. I was willing to overlook it as a human error, but with this response, I figured I should warn others. read more

Authentic gyros and falafels. I can't get enough of the Greek potatoes. My picky preteen likes the gyros as well. The house made hummus is so creamy and flavorful!!! I'm am particularly about what I eat since I pend to cook from scratch! This is one of my few favorite restaurants in Lawrenceville! When my order is not correct, they are quick to make up for it. I've been to the place at least 20 times or more in the past two years!!! read more

Had the hummus, bean dip and a Greek salad with gyro meat on it. Huge portions for the money and used a Scout Mob deal for half off. The hummus was seriously some of the best I've ever had. The bean dip wasn't my favorite but maybe just my taste. The gyro meat and salad were great. The place is clean and staff was friendly. I'd go back for the hummus and maybe try more options it all looked good. read more

I wanted to try this new restaurant for a while now. The service was great, they had my kaftha wrap ready in10 minutes to go. The Wrapp tasted amazing the beef was fresh and had great flavor and the spicy sauce was really good too. I will definitely come here again. read more

Good food management is nice and good prices...real Mediterranean food..

Seriously..... So delicious!! The potatoes were so amazing, the meat was perfect, workers were friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming.

This place is so delicious and the service was superb. So nice to dine in a family owned restaurant with fresh homemade food. On my first visit I had a taste of everything lamb, grilled chicken, tabouli, hummus and pita all for $6.00. Every bite was scrumptious. The owners and staff are super friendly and the interior was very clean. You have to try this place. read more

Olive is consistently fresh, delicious and fast. The staff are all so friendly and they just do a fantastic job. My husband gets the gyro + Greek salad combo and I go for the veggie platter. We have also had the falafel sandwich, Greek potatoes and the falafel platter.. None of it has disappointed. I highly recommend! read more

This place is so very good. Food is excellent. A+. We get the mixed grill platter and it hits every taste bud. The staff is so very nice. We love it!!!! Side note get the potatoes. They're great!!! Can't go wrong with anything you order here. Run don't walk!!! read more

Food is very good! I've had it twice; once for takeout and once for delivery. While I enjoyed it both times, I must say that the $25 minimum is a little excessive for delivery. As a result, I won't be ordering again. At least until the minimum is reduced to something reasonable like approximately $15. Especially given that your delivery area is very limited. In any event, I do recommend giving this place a try! read more

We had a gyro platter, chicken shawarma, calamari, and baklava. Everything was fantastic! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We'll certainly be back. read more

So I've never had Mediterranean food before... I'VE BEEN MISSING OUT!!! I decided to try Olive, when they first open, it is also the first time I tried Mediterranean food. I immediately fell in love with lamb meat especially the way this place flavored it. At this point, I have tried almost everything they have on the menu and i have not been disappointed at all. The first item I tried on their menu is the gyro sandwich. It's got nicely flavored beef and lamb meet inside of a wrap and includes their "secret" sauce and lettuce and tomato. I LOVE THE POTATOES that comes with it!!!how do they season everything so good!!!!? The next item I tried was the lunch combo. The lunch combo is to neck to neck of my favorite from the gyro! The lunch combo is loaded with a salad, rice, and TONS OF MEAT! They include two slices of steak, three slices of ground steak, and a mountain of lamb slices! I think you cannot get such an amount of great flavoring food for just $8.50 (oh and you get a drink with that for that price food believe it or not!). Honestly, just the salad and the two slices of steak is worth the money let alone they include all the other meats! I have also tried the GRILLED SHRIMP sandwich and that is also completely different than any other grilled shrimp you've ever tried. Finally, I have also tried the lamb shank platter, which means you get almost HALF OF A LAMB onto your plate lol. The way they marinate and flavor the lamb here, you just can't taste the lamb smell but you can taste the "lamb" flavor if that makes sense which is definitely the way to do it! All in all, you have got to try this new place even if you've never had Mediterranean food before, take it from this picky Asian guy lol. I almost forgot about the customer service! But how can I forget! Everyone here is super duper pleasant! When you walk in, you are immediately greeted and the menus are obvious and on your right. Then the line starts to form and I just think the way they got it set up is definitely organized and easy to order. The servers and the managers there are always smiling and pleasant. They are constantly checking up on you and their service is consistent every time I have been there! (P.s. I would take a picture of my food and post it but I have already eaten it lmao!) read more

The food here is delicious and the owners really care about the customers. They make everything exactly the way you want it. We will definitely be coming back. read more

The food was good, the service was fast, & oh did I say the food was good! I bought the Gyro and the sampler plate and I can't pronounce everything on that plate but it was good. The salad that came with it was so fresh. The portion sizes are great and the location is nice. Being a new restaurant sometimes things start off good and once they build a customer base it goes to crap. I hope that doesn't happen this time. I definitely recommend. read more

Some seriously good Greek food. We had a gyro, Greek potatoes, grilled shrimp and a mixed grill platter with Greek salad. Everything was really yummy. The service was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The serving sizes were big and the prices very reasonable. read more

Great service and food!! Everyone is so welcoming from the moment you open the door until they thank you when you leave. The food was the best Mediterranean food I have had so far here in Ga. I had a groupon so decided to head down and try it. Wow glad I did. First good sign was a few tables of middle Eastern woman eating. People love good food of their own culture. I ordered the grape leaves heated. Needless to say I will never eat cold grape leaves again. Yummy portions were huge and prices are very very reasonable. I will definitely be back. read more

It was very disappointing for us since we love Mediterranean food. I had the grilled grouper ($12) and my husband has chicken wrap. After waiting for 20 minutes, my husband got his food and mine came out 10 minutes later. I was surprised that my fish was tough and barely warm, the rice was cold, the salad was fine. The plate feels like it came straight of the refrigerator very cold. My husband said his chicken was tough but was well seasoned. The tiziti sauce was good except the strong garlic was still in my mouth the next day. I think we will skip this restaurant the next time we in the mood for Mediterranean food. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed the lunch special. Great deal for under $10. I'm a big Mediterranean food fan and always make it a point to try the falafels at the different restaurants around town. Their falafels are fantastic as was everything else. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Was very excited to try a new Mediterranean place for dinner but was disappointed. No greeting as we walked in. The menu has a decent size selection, but everything is marked up from different Mediterranean place I've been to in the area. I mean they are taxing high!!!The chicken shawarma I got was cooked well. Other than that the other items were disappointing. Falafel was tasteless. No greeting on the way out again read more

One of the best experience I had opening my fast. Lot of food with great textures and flavors. Each option has its own flavor. Friendly staff that loves to please the customer. read more

Close, convenient, and welcoming! Love going to eat here for my lunch break. Food is always delicious and on POINT!

My fiance and I decided to try this place because of the positive reviews on here. We were thoroughly disappointed. Our food was really not good and just got worse the more we ate. I also felt it was a tad overpriced; my meal was $10 and the plate was very small. We will not eat here again. read more

We went here on a Friday for lunch. Thanks to ScoutMob, we got 50% off our order. Wife had the Schwarma and I had the lamb shank. Portions were good size. The schwarma only comes in chicken and was a little dry for my liking. My lamb shank was awesome. The salad that comes with the meal was top notched. The rice was great. All in all a great meal with good, authentic, Middle Eastern tastes. We'll will be back to give it a second try! read more

Nice rustic old world decor. Nice atmosphere. I enjoyed the grilled shrimp sandwich with roasted potatoes. Overall great alternative to the same ole same ole fast food restaurants. read more

Had a gyro platter that was good and the lamb shank was delicious! Not a fan of the yogurt cheesecake but now I know to just stick to the New York Style I'm used to..The service here to go is quick and they have good customer service. It's the best on this side of town..there is another greek restaurant in Suwanee that was on the news and i haven't and won't go there...and my previous review of Tazikis you can see.... I doubt you'd be disappointed with the Olive just based on the food itself .. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/local-restaurant-gets-nearly-perfect-score-after-2/nmKMx/ read more

Where do I start! This place is amazing! The customer service is awesome! My chicken gyro was juicy and pipping hot! The fresh tabuloeh(spelled wrong) was great and our Greek fries which I've never had needed no condiments at all! Honestly we couldn't tell if the were fries or baked! All in all I'm def coming back with more of my family. read more

Real Olive - Mediterranean Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

We love our Olive. It has become a regular spot for us and everything we have tried has been fabulous. The kabob sand which is amazing and very flavorful. Try that first if you eat beef. read more

I love olive. I have eaten here 8-9 times at least. The staff is helpful. The food is really good, my only complaint is that some items quality or presentation fluctuates. read more

Ate here last night on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised! Cost to value ratio was perfect! 3 adults and a kid for $40! I loved the falafel, and the Greek potato appetizer was to die for! My husband got the gyros plate and the portion was so generous he actually had leftovers! Great place for a family dinner. read more

Amazing food I've been here twice and enjoyed the service and the meal on both occasions!

The restaurant is great always fresh food and their iftar buffet is awesome. Greatly recommend these guys for any occasion.

The food is absolutely delicious, and the service was great! The portion sizes are quite generous. Great dining experience!

Top quality, best food, I go to this place every other day and never get tired of it. Really fresh and great portion. Keep it up

This is the fourth time I have been here, and I have yet to leave disappointed. I love the food, the décor and the service. It is beyond good greek food. I just can't say enough positive about it. The only thing I would change, is offer a single serving of hummus, not a small appetizer size. It is just too much for a single person. Still great food! read more

wow! cod,grouper out of this world! lamb shank one of the best i've ever tried. clean, nice place with very friendly employees. strongly recommended read more

Amazing food & service! We tried the restaurant out one night and had a delicious family dinner. Everyone was so kind, the food came out fast, the portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable. We even catered from them for a small engagement party of 20 people we were hosting. We ordered enough food for 30 people and there were no leftovers! Emad & his daughter were very helpful and caring and the food was delicious! read more

Good was excellent! I brought a customer here for lunch and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food!

This is a fantastic restaurant! It is big, clean and has fantastic food! The meat is perfectly seasoned and the hummus and baba ganoush are incredible. The owner, a very nice man, brought our dinner to the table and served us himself. He was very kind and helpful and made sure everything was just right. I will definitely be back! read more
