New Restaurant Review: Olive & Lamb – Minnesota Monthly
Olive & Lamb is far from “Greek-ish”: Persian family recipes land at fast-casual Mediterranean spot in northeast Minneapolis.

Very generous portions of good quality Greek cuisine that is very affordable. Coming from California these prices seem to be even more reasonable and enjoyable. The service was very fast and efficient and our server was genuinely friendly and patient. They seem to also have a very brisk takeout business, which shows me that I’m at the right place.
I would give it a five star and I wish I had room for dessert !

2025-10-13 – I stopped by Olive & Lamb in Minneapolis for lunch on 10/13/2025 around 1:20 PM and had a decent experience. I ordered the Falafel Pita, which was good, and the Baklava & Ice Cream for dessert, which was also tasty. The falafel and baklava are homemade, and it shows in the flavor and freshness. The Persian ice cream with saffron and rosewater was a unique and tasty touch.
The server, Joey D., was pleasant, but he could have checked in more frequently to ensure everything was okay. I finished my pita sandwich before he noticed I was almost done and asked if everything was fine. I would have appreciated more onions in my sandwich, but it wasn’t a deal-breaker.
The ambiance was quiet when I arrived, but they turned on some music around 2:05 PM, which added to the atmosphere.
Despite some minor issues, I would definitely come back to Olive & Lamb again. I’d be interested to explore the rest of their menu – there are many other items that caught my eye, and I’m looking forward to trying them.

The food, ambiance, and service all come together to merge into an incredible experience all at a pretty good price. We got the lamb shank and the gyro plate, and they came out on BIG platters. The gyro plate especially made my heart happy – a good variety on the plate, very good quality food, and generous portions. The meat was excellent. Everything was as it should be. The lamb shank wasn’t bad too, the meat was tender and juicy and the sauce they provide with the rice was rich. The honey cake I heard about was delectable – creamy whipped cream on top which balanced and accompanied the honey sweetness and stickiness of the cake very well. Compared with other places, you get an amazing assortment and generous helpings with a great ambiance for a very reasonable price. We will be back!

Olive & Lamb was an awesome find. I’m in Minneapolis area for work and wanted something delicious and local. This fit the bill. Service was prompt and very kind. No rush but not waiting around either. The menu was straight forward. They know what they do and do it well. I tried the O&G Olives which are a delicious blend of sweet and salty. The pomegranate, walnut and garlic with the green olives was delicious. I wish it came with some pita to spread it on, but that didn’t slow me down. For my main I had the Lamb and Beef Kabob. I love Kafta and have great options in metro Detroit where I’m from and this kabob didn’t disappoint. It was seasoned perfectly and was grilled to perfection. Great char on the outside and a juicy bite inside. It was awesome. It’s a little confusing whether to order at the counter or the table, but the polite staff quickly told me the table was the place. Service was great. They do serve beer and wine though I didn’t partake. Great experience and for a really reasonable price.

Great Persian food experience. The kabobs were moist and tender and the homemade hummus and roasted eggplant dip were well seasoned and super fresh.

Had a great experience at Olive and Lamb! The food was delicious, and the “Honey Cake” for dessert was absolutely heavenly. What really stood out was the incredible effort of our server, Kimia. She was running the entire restaurant by herself: taking orders, serving food, handling takeout, and working the register, all while staying friendly and attentive. Truly impressive! Kudos to her hard work and to the restaurant for such a wonderful meal. Highly recommend!

I was glad a friend suggested O&L to celebrate her birthday as I’d wanted to try it for a while. Lindsey was our fabulous server and she took time to make suggestions and give us an overview of the menu. She checked back several times and we really appreciated the excellent service! Gyros is one of my favorites to order and their platter is definitely one I’d come back for! An order of falafel was also tasty, especially with the added sauce. Wrapping up our dinner with the sublime honey cake was perfect! My friends enjoyed their baklava, as well. Loved that they have a parking lot too, especially on a cold, wintry evening.

I love this place! I just wish they also offered Persian stews. My favorite dish here is the steak kebab, but when we want a meal for two, we usually order the Soltani, which is perfect for sharing the Kobideh is also good, but it could be better and isn’t my favorite.. It comes with salad and rice, and you can choose between white or brown rice and from three salad options. I also tried the eggplant dip, which came with bread, and I really enjoyed it!
