The staff is friendly and they are quick. Lots of great options. We typically get bowls. Each time we go, I like trying different combinations. We have never had a bad experience.

Love it!! A great lunch spot in Orlando on Colonial! You'll love the salad and the baklava!

First timer here! I love mediterranean style food and this checked all the boxes for me. I really like that you can customize your bowl or pita and there are a lot of options. It was really tasty and the service was great, staff was friendly.

So delicious All the toppings are fresh and salad greens are yummy. And I love the pickled onions Also love that my kids can get grilled cheese

Terrible food and workers are blatantly disrespectful, take your money to another restaurant that doesn't take how miserable their lives are on you. One worker looked me up and down and told me to leave because it wasn't "public seating" while I was sitting there for at most 5 minutes when they were 20 minutes from closing and NOBODY was waiting for a table. Go to another restaurant that doesn't degrade and disrespect their customers.

Fresh and super yummy! Has been closed for awhile but glad it's open again! The tougher dill dressing is my favorite

The manager, David was really friendly and personable! The food is very filling and packed with fresh ingredients. Best mediterranean food I've had in a while and will definitely be coming back. They have house made dressings along with flavorful falafal made fresh to order.

Olea Mediterranean Restaurant is located in the Colonialtown shopping plaza. It is a small place and the inside is pleasant enough. Since it is in Colonialtown shopping plaza, shopping is certainly not an issue. Think of this place as kind of like a Chipotle, but with a Mediterranean influence as opposed to Chipotle and their Mexican influence. I will say that Olea is about as close to authentic Mediterranean as Chipotle is as close to authentic Mexican food. In case you are unfamiliar with either restaurant, neither of these are very authentic. However, this should not discourage you from going. This is a good place to grab a reasonable facsimile of Mediterranean food (think of it as a fast food version of Mediterranean food). The price is a little high for what it is, but not enough to drive the majority of people away. All in all, Olea Mediterranean Restaurant is a good enough place to grab a quick meal. If you want a more authentic Mediterranean meal, go elsewhere. But if you want a kind of fast food version, Olea is a good enough place to head towards.

The food is always fresh & good. I wish both sides of the food, though, had the colorful poster that explains what you're ordering. For some reason their system throws me. ?? But I go there for the yummy & they do have little labels on the cases. They always serve you plenty & the sauces are tasty. ??

My first experience at Olea Mediterranean Grill was so fun, food was good and nutritious, you pick food (base, protein, vegetable, sauce, cheese) on your own.
It was sooooo good! Best Mediterranean food ever, will come more often! Thanks :)Btw, you get a cookie! ♥️

This place is CONSISTENTLY good. It’s hard to find a place that’s reliable good quality, delicious flavor, friendly service, and quick. But this place doesn’t disappoint. I’ve been here multiple times for about a year now. And I’ve bought along people multiple times as well. Other coworkers at my place also speak well of it. It’s a great choice for a quick lunch or good refreshing flavorful Mediterranean food in general.

I used to come to this place a lotAnd had great experiences in the past but I came on one occasion a with my family and was ordering a salad and I did not like how the manager was speaking to me during my order. To be specific I asked how much would it be to have extra proteins and he pointed at the price and then when I let the other employee know they could give me additional protein he the manager grabbed a spatula and held the other employees arm until it was confirmed that it will be an additional 2.79. He was just kind of rude. I understand that running a business can be challenging I definitely have experience with that but there should be no challenge with simply being polite. I won’t be back to this location and I’ll try to explore other Mediterranean restaurants in my area.

First time to try this place, ordered a bowl of gyro and the rice was half cooked and was a bit hard, my friend wanted to change it however the manager on duty after trashing the bowl said he can give us another bowl but we have to pay half price. Not only their food was bad but also they don't have any courtesy whatsoever.
