The best gyro I've had in a very long time pleasant experience everytime waiters are nice and management is always nice too. Can't wait for them to reopen.

This place is a gem. Excellent food, friendly and welcoming ownership and staff, and a very relaxing and casual atmosphere. Highly highly recommend Olive Tree Cafe for any fan of Mediterranean food, or just great food in general. We’ve never had a dish here that wasn’t excellently prepared and bursting with flavor. The Turkish Lentil soup is a particular favorite, also the Mediterranean Salmon. Try here and you won’t be sorry!

This was an amazing meal. The Moussaka was delicious and the atmosphere and service were 5 star

You wouldn't think that this delightful and unasuming place would exist, tucked away as it is in a tiny shopping plaza next to the Shop Rite, but once you find it and step through its doors you will immediately find yourself at ease with its charming Mediterranean ambiance. While in the opinion of this reviewer its probably not as authentic in the cuisine it offers as other restaurants in the area that offer similiar fare, (unfortunately the rice that was provided with my entree was a little bland) don't let that dissuade you. The standout hallmark of Olive Tree is it's excellent customer service. Unfortunately during the course of my meal, I heard one of the other customers complain that they used to offer olive oil and bread and olive and hummus, but they discontinued it. Perhaps if they offered them again and addressed the issue with the rice we might be persuaded to come back.

So glad that they're open for dine in again! I've been waiting to come back here with friends. Everything on the menu is still great!

Loved this place, every item from appetizer to entree to dessert and tea was AWESOME, service was awesome, only complaint I have is that they are open only Fri-Sat

Great service with excellent food. Terrific gluten free options, amazing harissa and garlic sauces. Will definitely come back again. Owner and staff were super nice.

Friendly service; superb food. My vegan wife recommends the dolmades and falafel; I, the carnivore, recommend the lamb gyro with white sauce. Mint tea was outstanding; so flavorful and soothing. Nice little selection of box/can/jar goods to take home. Good about COVID precautions as well. Would absolutely come back!

Friendly professional staff..owner even came out to great customers and help serve. They even answered all of the questions that customers have about the food did not get frustrated at all and was extremely happy to help. The food is also amazing with big portions at incredibly fair prices. Already been here twice in the same week. Highly recommend.

A delightful place with delicious food and a few harder to find pantry items for sale.Maybe a dozen tables inside no outdoor seating. Service was quick and attentive with helpful suggestions. The food was delicious and the chef/owner even checked on all the patrons during our visitWe had two entrees and two sides with plenty enough for us to take home leftovers. Highly recommend the Tangines.

Fantastic food! My first time trying it and I highly recommend you try it too. Very fresh. Friendly people. Best hummus and pesto pasta ! And my absolute favorite is the eggplant dip .

Not pleased with the chicken and lamb shwarmas I ordered. When I got home and saw everything you would eat in a gyro (pita bread included), I thought, no wonder the owner was in the rear of the restaurant glancing at me in that covert manner. Although I am American, I know the difference between Lebanese and Greek foods and spices. They could've said, "We have no Lebanese bread so we used pita". That would've been respectful. Hope they enjoyed my tip.

I have been ordering the dip sampler for years now and it is the best hummus ever, and just the best dips ever. Not to mention to delightful and ample serving of turkish bread and pita to enjoy the dips upon- so crusty and delicious. The owner is always super jovial and I get great vibes n food from the place. Best olives too.

Never had "Mediterranean " food before. I was not disappointed. I picked something safe (salmon) and it was fine. It didn't smell overly fishy, and wasn't seasoned as if hypertension doesn't exists.The bread was interesting. The crust was tough like "cuban" bread, but the meat wasn't soft like "cuban" bread. It was damn near as tough as the crust, but it wasn't bad, just made ya work for it. It soaks up the gravy perfectly though.
