  Ordered food for lunch delivery when in the area for an event. The food is INCREDIBLE and all 5 of us are still dreaming about that hummus. Excited to have this again soon.

  I liked the food and service at this location better than the Clifton location. The falafel platter was delicious! Very flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. I also had the appetizer platter, the hummus, baba ghanoush, and muhammara was excellent. The portion sizes are very generous. The restaurant was clean, neat, and decorated very pretty. The service was attentive and polite. It was a great experience and I definitely recommend this restaurant!

  This place is a hidden gem, both the food and service are incredible. We ordered several apps and they were all delicious, no misses. I'm looking forward to going back.

  Olive Bistro was great. We ordered the hummus with meat, lentil soup, falafel, and shared a mixed grill, and everything was really good. The service was top-tier from start to finish. All of the meat and chicken were perfectly tender, and the falafel were super crunchy and filling. Even the rice that came with the mixed grill stood out—it was aromatic and clearly seasoned with a nice blend of spices. The ambiance was also really nice. It’s not as extravagant as their other location, but it’s still very well maintained, and the Palestinian decor on the walls gives it a warm, welcoming feel.

  Incredible ambiance! Honestly, it felt like I was walking into a wedding hall lol. They had live performers dancing and singing — such an amazing experience! The food was incredible. The grape leaves tasted just like how my great-aunt used to make hers (but with extra olive oil lol), which made it feel even more special and nostalgic. The staff were incredibly polite — special shout-out to Yusef, our server! Management was also very courteous and welcoming. The entire restaurant and team gave such a warm, homie vibe that made us feel comfortable right away. We came all the way from Connecticut, and it was absolutely worth the hour wait! The only small area that could use a little improvement would be organizing a clearer plan for guests waiting to be seated. Other than that, I swear this is one of the best places to be. Again, special shout-out to our server Yusef — thank you for making our experience even better!
