I ended up in pasadena on business and was told to try the olive tree. Be still my heart. The owner is an amazing man. So warm and friendly. No menu needed…he gracefully recomended and i accepted. What he presented was exquisit. The turkish coffee and baklava at the end was devine. I told you sir, in person that you were the olive tree was a gem but, those words do no justice. Well done sir.

Hummus does not come with the meal (not even a small portion) but it is delicious.
What appeared to be the owner, visited at least two tables chatting with customers, and even tried to sell them olive oil. Unfortunately he never came to speak with us. Disappointing because we’re always seeking out great dinner spots.

First the food was delicious !!!! They have this delicious sauce that kicks it up a notch omg it had my eyes rolling back in my head lol, seriously it was that good. The drinks were awesome, the show was so amazing and they do it every Friday!!! The venue is beautiful and large enough to rent space. There’s a room called smoke and mirror by the bar. There is a lounge area, a small dining space, large dining space/ meeting room, and the patio. The owner was the sweetie thing and staff attentive. I will definitely be back. They also have lunch specials if you are on a budget. The flavor will NEVER disappoint . DELICIOUS

So my husband and I were on the fence on whether or not to try the place but let me tell y’all I recommend 100%, the food is so tasty and the service is so absolutely warm n welcoming n SINCERE, not fake nor forced, an older gentleman, who I am certain is the owner, was very attentive and polite to the customers there, as well as my husband and I. There was not many people but he definitely made sure that they were comfortable and he was not spreading himself too thin. I’m glad to say that this is a place that my husband and I will be frequenting, also I learned that they have a belly dancer on Friday nights around 7 so we will definitely be going to check that out 1 day!!!

This restaurant is a local gem. The food is always delicious. I recommend the fried cauliflower app and the salmon entree. Belly dancing on Friday nights is fun entertainment. The owner Dominic is always so welcoming and makes every dinner feel special.

Wanted to eat some Mediterranean food for lunch so a coworker and I came to Olive Tree to try it out. Pretty spacious interior with a good amount of parking in front so that’s always a plus. Our server was friendly and checked up on us throughout our lunch.
Hummus w/Pita- the hummus was good! I never had pita flat like this so it was pretty interesting but it wasn’t bad
Batenjan- I’m not sure if I liked this dish. I feel like the acidity from the tomatoes were a little too overpowering and I didn’t get to taste the savoriness of the dish.
The Batenjan comes with a salad though so that’s nice!
Overall, I’d rate this place a 3.5. I’m not sure if I’d come back for lunch but I did see on the flyer that there’s Belly Dancing so that’s pretty neat and maybe I’d come back for that and try a different dish.

This place is fantastic!!!
My husband brought me here & all I want to do is come back and taste more from their menu!! I had the Koussa Mehshi & I could not stop eating it. The Baba Ghannouj & Hummus was delicious, that’s probably why I couldn’t finish my entree… The service was excellent & my husband and I enjoyed the music they had playing.
This is a must try restaurant!!!
