" I was looking for a cozy spot to enjoy Mediterranean food, and Olive and Lamb did not disappoint. The ambiance was inviting, perfect for chilling with friends. I had the chicken kebab, which was juicy and well-seasoned. The portion was ample too. The honey cake was a must-try for dessert! However, I knocked a star off for wait times. My friend’s meal took much longer to come out, but overall, I enjoyed it and would visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

I appreciated the casual yet sophisticated vibe of the restaurant, making it an excellent spot for a dinner date or a night out with friends. My server was friendly, and the atmosphere made for a delightful evening. I can't stress enough how good their baklava was—sweet, crunchy, and fresh! " (*Curated Review*)

Each dish we tried had a unique twist but still felt authentically Mediterranean. I would love to come back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

However, the delicious food and cozy vibes made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)
