    The Olive Bistro served really good Middle Eastern food. The falafel was fresh, the hummus was smooth and flavorful, and the chicken and lamb platters were well seasoned with great portions. Some dishes are a bit heavy, but overall the food is tasty and worth trying.

    Stopped by here really quick before heading back to NY . This place was recommended by a few of my NJ friends and now I got to experience why alhamdulilah! Very delicious food and service was excellent. I had the mixed grill, with fattoush salad and Muhammarra. Along with their delicious fresh bread my pregnancy craving was completely satisfied!
