Small place but food is great thus far, I really like the spicy chicken and rice plus your two sides.

Been to one by my place several times, but place is no good. This basically was a pita with hardly anything in it and they charge extra for feta, that really didnt have that much in it. Couldn't read the menu on the screen because its to small. Also now just bit into my sandwich and a few hard black pieces that are not edible were int he sandwichNot happy and wil be telling whole office about me experience here.

In the sea of Mediterranean takeout that's emerged around the Loop, Olive is a standout. The chicken kebab is legitimately spicy and all the side options are good - the tomato & cucumber salad is consistently fresh. Nice pitas too, and the team behind the counter is always busy but pleasant. Highly recommended.

Can’t comment on the dine in as I had ordered delivery. But I was very impressed by the quality of the food especially for that plate that gives you a protein and sides with a pita. It was very good value and I was very satisfied with the portion size and the seasoning was on point. Chicken was juicy and that garlic sauce was delicious. I had frequented this location for delivery before their closure and before pandemic and always found their food to be good. I’m glad the quality is still there.

Oh, It's back! This used to be across the street where Tomo is five years ago. Remember that! Now there in the old space where Taco Bell used to be at. And now Taco Bell is next door (see our review). I the Meatball Salad & The Medi Salad w/ spring mix and Labneh. The staff and service are OMG.
