I’ve been a regular at the Loop location for years, but in the past couple of years I’ve been visiting the West Town spot more often.

Everything we tried was super flavorful. The Lentil Soup with a Twist was an all-around favorite.
— Kelly Tiebout

I pick up food from here often as it's very close to my office.

I like the interior and the colors, the food is good well seasoned but the staff need more training and it smells food that sticks to clothes I feel there is no ventilation inside. We had hummus, babaghanoug, tabouleh, beef kabsah, chicken kabob ✌️

Food is excellent. Customer service is top tier. I’ve been frequenting this location since I moved in the area about 3 years ago. I’ve never had any issues. Awesome manager and staff!

Food was great! Update: I really wish the girl who works nights would lower her voice. I don't know why she talks to you at a level 10 .

“Good food - properly seasoned and tastes fresh.”

Good food - properly seasoned and tastes fresh. Very friendly staff - patiently explained how to order and helped figure out what I may like. Restaurant has contemporary decor playing today’s hit. Perfect for a healthy quick bite.

Had a satisfying experience at Olive Mediterranean Grill with the Chicken Shawarma Plate. Despite a slightly stingy server, the delicious taste of the dish made up for it, leaving a positive overall impression.

“Quick pit stop for lunch.”

Quick pit stop for lunch. Olive has great portions and fare prices on their salads, I got a Falarma Sandwich in pita pocket and I thought it was great, would recommend trying a sandwich.

“I came here during my lunch break.”

I came here during my lunch break. The flavors were really good but the portions are very small. Wouldn’t come back unless they change their portion sizes to more.

“It was boom 💥 when they first opened.”

It was boom 💥 when they first opened! Time changes everything! It went from super good to good! I’m still getting food from here so it’s good, just wish it was like when it first opened!
