Loveee this restaurant. I’ve been 4 times this month 🤭😂 This weekend will be the 5th. I come from Lakeland with my husband who is Lebanese 🇱🇧💕
A new hidden gem in the heart of the Tampa bay. Some of the best Mediterranean food you get out there.
Definitely need some extra time for the wait, very small intimate restaurant. (Totally worth the wait) Best Mediterranean food I’ve had since living in Egypt! I swear I’ll be dreaming of it until I’m back again! Everything was fabulous! Don’t wait! Go today!! Thanks Chef, for delighting our tastebuds!

The Olive Tree by Chef Yousef offers a delightful Mediterranean dining experience. The lentil soup is praised for its authentic Turkish flavors, while the tender lamb manaf and perfectly cooked mendi rice delight diners. The restaurant is known for its amazing food quality, with customers highlighting dishes like the Mansaf, a national dish of Jordan, and the mixed grill featuring filet mignon, kufta shish kebab, and chicken kebab. The fresh bread, dipping sauces, and sides like hummus and baba ghanous complement the high-quality cuisine.
The decor is simple, elegant, and beautifully designed, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The food is fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious, with every type of meat cooked to perfection - juicy, flavorful, and seasoned just right. The olives were a standout, and every dish delighted the guests, who expressed a strong desire to return for more amazing dishes. The excellent service and friendly environment make it a welcoming place to enjoy a meal.
