I cannot say enough nice things about this place, it has consistently served the best food. Excellent service, food, and vibe. Our servers (Sanaa and Lesley) were very sweet and courteous, so was the host. Portions are HUGE, they’re very generous so be ready for take away! Mansaf alone can easily feed 2-3 people (and make them extremely happy). Freekeh soup is healing for the soul. What a gem! Our compliments to the chef, can’t wait to come back again!

We had a wonderful experience at Olive Tree by Yusuf. Our server, Kim, was outstanding and recommended the perfect dish for us. We ordered the Mix Fiesta Platter, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, and the variety of Middle Eastern appetizers and mains made the meal even more enjoyable.
The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and truly captured the essence of traditional Middle Eastern cuisine. Everything was beautifully presented and generously portioned.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Middle Eastern food and excellent service. We will definitely be back!

This place was AWESOME! We had no experience with middle eastern food and our waitress KIM was so helpful in guiding us. All the food was great. Super flavor and great service. Can’t wait to come back.

Had a surprise delivery order from here and everything was great. I decided to go in person to try it out but it tasted a little bit different. Garlic sauce in delivery was savory and very garlicky, great. The one at the restaurant had less garlic flavor and some sweetness that wasn’t pleasant and they gave us in 2 small sauce containers, vs the one I received in the delivery that was in a bigger container. Even the areyas tasted slightly different as well, delivery was well seasoned and moist, while at the restaurant, it was bland and dryer. Not sure why delivery food was tastier, given it was over 40m late.
Love the pita bread though, it was locally made, tasted fresh and soft. Had the perfect amount of fluff and sweetness to it.

We visited today after 4 PM and had a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and while the portions were a bit smaller than expected, that’s understandable given the current economy. Everything was fresh and flavorful. A couple of small suggestions to make an already great experience even better: adding dressing and a touch of salt to the salad, seasoning the fried fish a bit more, and serving the full order together rather than in batches.
Despite these minor points, the quality really stood out. My son, who is usually a very picky eater, gave the food an incredible 100 out of 10—even though we didn’t order his usual favorites! That says a lot about how good the food was. Great job to the team! We’ll definitely be back.

We got a falafel appetizer which was great, so was the falafel sandwich.
We got the chicken shawarma plate which was solid. We tried shish tawook which was tender and nice. We also got a chicken mandi which would serve 3 people at least in my opinion. The chicken mandi was good too, but i personally liked the flavor in the other two. Overall, we would definitely revisit

Delicious food no doubt. It’s highly recommended and I can definitely see why. Everything is very favorable. I’m just a little disappointed in the service because when I first walked in there was noone else waiting to be seated then a guy came after me and as we were waiting to be seated the waitress went to the guy who came in after me not even asking who was here 1st. Not a good start. I know there’s a sign that sets the expectations with the timing for the food which should give the waitresses enough time to get water, dishes etc but that wasn’t the case. We got food out eventually and didn’t have any small plates to eat out of. We had another waitress to get for us. That was the only downside. Understandable it’s a busy restaurant but you shouldn’t forget about the tables you have. Otherwise everything else was good.

We had a misunderstanding and let’s say the owner had reached back out and wanted to show his willingness to resolve the issue. 6 months later he kept his word, I came with my family and had a great time. The food was good. Service was excellent. (Lesley) I would recommend my friends and family and would most definitely go back again.

I got a chicken mandi. It had a lot of quantity. The rice was flavorful and plenty. However the chicken was very dry, not flavorful. Over dried chicken and blant. I was not able to eat without any spices including very little salt . I felt i was eating the rotasserie chicken with rice. So the price I gave, 25$ , i wasn’t satisfied.
Went there seeing the google reviews but definitely not happy. Also the wait time was more than 30+ mins for one dish. Atmosphere was good but pricey.
Food 3/5.

I went there twice so far and food has been consistently good, which is a hard thing to come by in this town. Portion was good I was given some excellent olive oil and zaatar while I waited. I ordered the shish tawook it was cooked perfectly tender and juicy with a side of hummus and baba ganoujh, the sides could’ve been a little less cold they verged on frozen but still good. If there was one thing that I personally didn’t enjoy much it was the rice as it was a bit clove spice heavy other than that everything was good, place was clean and service was quick.
