" A delightful dining experience! I visited Olive last weekend and was mesmerized by how fresh everything tasted. I ordered the lamb kabob and falafel, and both were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, making it an ideal place to enjoy a meal with friends. The service staff was attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I can't wait to come back for more of that delicious hummus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive offers a unique blend of flavors with every dish. I tried their kufta and it was incredibly juicy. However, I found the ambiance a bit too loud for my liking. It’s a great spot if you enjoy a bustling environment, but for a quiet dinner, it might not be ideal. Service was friendly and prompt, but I did notice a slight delay during the dinner rush. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Olive was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I walked in, I felt the welcoming vibe. I ordered the gyro plate and was thrilled with the generous portion sizes. The flavors were incredible and tasted just like what I experienced while traveling in Greece. The staff treated me like family, quickly attending to my requests and even offering recommendations from their menu which made my choice easier. If you're craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive continues to be my favorite go-to for Mediterranean food. The portions are generous and the atmosphere is lovely. The service is usually fast, but on a busy weekend, we did have a wait. Still worth it for the flavorful food! Their baba ghanouj and kabobs have become my staples. Highly recommend trying this place if you haven’t already! " (*Curated Review*)

" I couldn’t believe how great Olive was! The ambiance was very welcoming, and they were swift with our orders. The falafel was some of the best I’ve ever tried, and my friends loved their shawarma. The prices were fair for the quality of food provided. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of the menu. Would highly recommend it for anyone who loves Mediterranean cuisine!

" I had heard great things about Olive and was eager to try it, but my experience was just okay. I got the chicken kabob, and while it was well-seasoned, I found it to be a bit dry. The service was kind, but we had to wait longer than expected for the food which was a letdown. The atmosphere was warm, but it didn’t compensate for the meal not meeting my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I dropped by Olive one evening and was greeted warmly by the staff. The ambiance was lively with many guests, but it didn’t feel chaotic. I enjoyed the baba ghanouj and my friend had the kebabs. Both dishes were flavorful and filling. It was a delightful experience overall, just a little on the noisy side for my personal preference, but I would still return! " (*Curated Review*)
