Wow it was Soo good and economical especially if you need a energy boost so many different flavors free tahini and red chilly sauce on the side clean food fries fried extra well to perfection crazy good deals on Uber eats I had the chicken shawarma and fries the shawarma was reminiscent of a Michelin star restaurant with its own unique style and the chicken was properly salted and sorta crispy on the outside and soft inside also had some kinda white sauce and Arabian pickles

“Simply incredible.”
Simply incredible. Wonderful service, reasonable pricing, short wait on food, and the food was amazing. The falafel was 10/10 -- perfect size, perfect seasoning, perfectly crispy on the outside, and perfectly fluffy on the inside. My chicken shawarma was also perfect - meat wasn't dry and the seasoning/flavor was great. The place is small (there were three tables with two seats each) but I had a cozy time when I dined in. I happened to be in the neighborhood and came across this place, but believe me when I say that I will go out of my way to visit again.

“The chicken shawarma was fantastic-some of the best I've personally had.”
The chicken shawarma was fantastic-some of the best I've personally had. The service was also friendly and efficient despite us coming in somewhat close to closing time. The main draw for me to come back here would be the food-very substantial and tasty!

“If you’re looking for a true taste of the Mediterranean, I can’t recommend Olive Mountain Grill highly enough.”
If you’re looking for a true taste of the Mediterranean, I can’t recommend Olive Mountain Grill highly enough. The food was absolutely divine. Every dish was bursting with authentic Mediterranean flavors, from the perfectly spiced hummus to the tender, juicy lamb chops. The fresh, vibrant ingredients in their Greek salad and don’t even get me started on the falafels —it was delicious and fresh! I’ll definitely be returning!

We were thrilled to see this new restaurant recently and finally got the chance to try it. The service was impeccable from the moment we entered until we left. We ordered the Greek salad, shawarma platter, baba ganouj, and they even included a complimentary hummus. Everything was absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be back soon!
