" A delightful evening at OLIVA! I loved the crispy falafel and the creamy hummus for starters. For my main, I had the chicken delight which was expertly seasoned and paired beautifully with a fresh salad. The staff was attentive throughout the evening, and I enjoyed the relaxed vibe. I would love to come again and perhaps try a dessert next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had a mixed experience at OLIVA. While the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, we found the food itself to be lacking in authenticity compared to our expectations. The chicken piccata was well-cooked but didn’t have the zing we anticipated. Service was decent, though a bit slow—we had to ask multiple times for refills on drinks. I enjoyed the Turkish bread, but I would hesitate to return unless I hear their standards have improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience! We visited OLIVA on a cold evening and were immediately welcomed by the cozy ambiance of the restaurant. The Chicken Alfredo was creamy and bursting with flavor, while the freshly baked Turkish bread stole the show. The service was very attentive, and our server regularly checked in without being intrusive. We're already planning our next visit to try their Mediterranean dishes! Highly recommend the baklava for dessert, it was divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is an absolute gem. The vibe was incredible, and the food? Simply fantastic. I ordered the lamb shish kebab and it was perfectly grilled—so tender! My friends got the shrimp Alfredo and said it was one of the best they had ever tasted. The atmosphere had an authentic Mediterranean flair that made our dinner feel special. I can't wait to come back and tackle more items from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried OLIVA and I must say, the food was quite good, but not extraordinary. I tried the lamb kebabs, which were tender and flavorful, but I’ve had better elsewhere. The atmosphere, however, was lovely—very cozy and inviting. The service staff were friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed during the dinner rush. Overall, I’d give it another go sometime later with hopes the food might impress more on a return trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" The decor and atmosphere were warm but the service left a little to be desired. My pasta dish was underwhelming compared to the enticing menu description; it could have used a bit more seasoning to match its price point. The portions were okay, but I wouldn't say they were generous. I enjoyed the lentil soup, though! Not the best, but I could see the potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely lovely experience at OLIVA! The atmosphere was cozy, and the food was fantastic! We had the mezze platter as a starter and it was delicious. For the main, the lamb shank was truly outstanding. Their desserts, particularly the baklava, were to die for! The service was friendly and made us feel at home. Highly recommended!
