Very nice staff, but the food was pretty bland except for the feta appetizer and the falafel. I much preferred the recipes of the previous owner.

This was my favorite Greek place that I found before I graduated. It was so good I wanted to share it with my husband. But every time we were in the area it was closed. I was excited it was actually open this time but we have a 2 month old so decided to do takeout. I was so disappointed. The pastitsio seemed like Alfredo and pasta sauce placed on noodles. The normal flavor of spices you’d expect wasn’t there. The lamb shank also seemed like it just had pasta sauce. Overall it was a lot of food but not worth the price. I also ordered traditional walnut baklava but was given pistachio baklava instead that seemed to have no flavor. So disappointed I waited this long to share with my husband and the food has gone down in quality and flavor

The food was okay, the portion was pretty big I can keep half of the food for my lunch and it tastes exactly the same. I like their rice and fries A LOT! The chicken was also very soft and yummy. But the food took forever. That means that they made it fresh! But we were too hungry...and kept looking at all the food that went past our table.The service was nice, our server was very polite.

This place was amazing 7 or 8 years ago. What happened? I will be surprised if this place is open in a year. The gyro was not good, the meat was barely warm to cold. The fire fries aren't the same as they were 7 years ago. They aren't bad just not as good as they used to be. The baklava was terrible, the dough was soggy when it should be crispy and the nut filling was hard as a rock when it should be soft. The creme brulee was barely edible. The price point is of a gourmet restaurant and the food is far from that. I would not recommend this place. And I will not be returning. It's really sad this place really was amazing.
Real enjoyable experience! Wife and I came for an anniversary dinner and was so pleased with this place. The ambience and music made a perfect setting. Our waiter, Ahmed, was extremely courteous, attentive and passionate. To find out he was only 17 years old blew our minds, with his responsibilities and manner, could've passed as a fully grown adult. Anytime I see Moussaka on a Mediterranean menu, I must have it. Ordered that along with a Lamb Gyro and Chicken Shawarma for the wife. Had a lot of gyros in my time, but the meats' flavor here were best I've had. The Moussaka was top notch. Would've liked the eggplant a little less chewy but still was so tasty - smokiness, hearty, cheesy, saucy.. Hit all the right notes. We also had hummus for appetizer. Lentil soup came as a side and was also delicious. Ahmed surprised us with offering free dessert for our occasion. Will definitely return to introduce the rest of the family to this place!
The food here is surprisingly bland. My wife got the Falafel Hummus bowl, and we both said the hummus was literally flavorless.I ordered the Gyro. The meet was spongey and not normal gyro meat.We were both disappointed.

People are nice but the food wasn’t what I expected at all . They asked me if I wanted medium or large plate of shawarma so I picked medium like every time I go somewhere to eat , and I was shocked about the very small quantity I got for almost 16$, (like 5 pieces of meat, and a very small quantity of French fries) also the shawarma wasn’t real shawarma at all so they should call it something else . The hummus was terrible , it was 100% unsalted and taste like water , I couldn’t even eat it .

The Olive Tree was a featured (and favorite of mine) guest restaurant in my company cafeteria years ago. I was very excited to see that they were still open, and ventured to Hilliard for dinner. I was pleasantly greeted, but discovered that the owner was on her own at the moment, due to some staff call-offs, and was waiting on additional help to arrive. Instead of asking me to come back another time, she opened the doors and said she'd take care of me. I started with a glass of red wine and The Olive Tree-O and chose Hummus, Tzatziki and Baba Ghanouj. They were delicious, cold and paired with ample pita slices. I had to stop myself from devouring it all, to save room for my Spicy Chicken and Mushrooms entree. Which was equally enjoyable! I appreciated the fresh, bold and distinctMediterranean/Lebanese flavors. But most importantly, the service. I will certainly be back again.
