Pretty sure all the food is from Costco. Also, I’m vegan and asked for their lemon vinaigrette on my salad instead of the yogurt based and they said they couldn’t do it because it was supposed to go on a different salad. They ended up giving me a side of lemon juice (that was definitely fake lemon juice from a bottle). The server had no idea what she was doing.

I’ve been going here for years! Love this place! Recently I came in and there was a dish I’d not seen before. Lebanese Steak tartar! I’ve had versions of steak and tuna tar tar before. But not this kind! It was so delicious!!! I would highly recommend trying this dish! And all their other food is great too! See my amateur pictures of the dish!

I never write bad reviews – especially about a small business. However, my family’s experience was so bad, I need to share it.

From the juicy kebabs to the flavorful hummus, everything I tried was exceptional and left me wanting more. Picture is of Chicken Sharwama which was served on a hummus bowl and pita on the side.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The owner was very accommodating, I showed up probably 15-20 minutes before closing time… I was from out of state and looking for some good food! I drove a half an hour from my hotel to this restaurant and was not disappointed in the food that I had! Thank you for going out of your way that night and for making my evening a great one!

I met a girlfriend at The Olive Tree for dinner tonight. We could tell they are short staffed and hustling to keep up – the food was worth the wait! Our server was really sweet and took good care of us. The fire fries were so so good! I definitely recommend showing this restaurant support and dine-in or carry out!

What has happened to the food here? Change of chef? Change of owner? We ordered Chicken kebab, fire fries, olive trio. Everything was such a disappointment. Bread was stale, hummus had no taste, chicken kebab was bland and rice was dry. Fire fries had no fire. Thanks for making our Friday such a disappointment. Waste of money.

Order was around $60. Only reason for the third star was presentation. Unfortunately for the type of cuisine the taste/flavor was inadequate. Hummus was essentially tasteless, as were the falafel. Calamari was decent.

I went out of my way to try this place and unfortunately was disappointed. They have some unique and traditional Greek dishes you don’t see at most Mediterranean spots, so I was excited to dive into their menu. I ordered online, showed up at pickup time, and found out they didn’t have what I had already paid for on their menu anymore; needless to say, my order wasn’t made and I had to wait almost 30 minutes for it. Eventually, I had the salmon over mujadara. The rice and lentils had pretty decent flavor and were the most enjoyable part of my meal. The salmon had a good crust, but was really dry, and didn’t have much flavor. I had their baba and it was bland; I’ve never seen it that texture before, and the pita that came with it was dry and not very soft. I hate to write bad reviews for local family-run restaurants, but I wouldn’t spend my hard-earned dollars here again.

The staff was super friendly and the food was incredible. Next time I’m in the Columbus area I will 100% be coming back. If you love authentic Mediterranean food this is definitely the spot to go! The falafel is nice and moist and the tabouli is incredibly fresh. The pistachio baklava is a must have! Five stars!
