" Great Mediterranean food! The falafel was light and crispy, the best I have had in a long time! The service was friendly, and our orders came out quickly. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and despite how busy it was, everything felt organized. Prices were fair for the quality. Olive is definitely a place I would return to without a doubt. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Olive with some friends and had a delightful experience! The food was awesome, especially the lentil soup and the hummus. Our server was attentive and recommended some great dishes. It was bustling that night, but we never felt ignored. If you’re looking for good Mediterranean food in New Orleans, this is the place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Olive on a whim and I am so glad I did! I ordered the stuffed grape leaves and they were absolutely delicious. The flavors were bright and fresh, and the dish was beautifully presented. Additionally, the owner took the time to check on us, which added a personal touch to our visit. I highly recommend trying the baklava for dessert; it was the perfect ending to our meal. Very impressed! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Olive is a hidden gem in the city! I tried their red lentil soup and chicken shawarma, and I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of flavor in every bite. It felt very authentic and hit the spot perfectly. Also, the prices are very reasonable for the quality provided. Although it was a bit crowded, the staff maintained a smooth operation, and my meal came out in no time. I enjoyed my time here and would certainly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely charming little spot! Their menu is diverse and every dish clearly prepared with care. I sampled a bit of everything at a friend's recommendation, and I can attest that they know how to do Mediterranean right! The chicken shawarma was juicy, and the salads were fresh. Service was friendly, contributing to the overall experience. I would happily return! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
