We.had an amazing lunch today at Olive and Tree. My husband had the Mansef and both myself.and friend had the mixed.grill. Everything tasted perfect and the presentation was lovely. We even purchased a container of the garlic sauce to bring home. 5 stars all around. We absolutely will be back.
I dined here with my girlfriend for her birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service and environment of the restaurant were so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend and we are looking forward to dining here again!

Wow!!! I had the opportunity to experience this amazing establishment today. I'm extremely impressed.
Everything was amazing from start to finish. Let's start with the atmosphere. It was clean and inviting. It feels pure and cozy here.
The server greeted us with a smile. The menu offers a great variety of Middle Eastern cuisines. We ordered grape leaves for our appetizer. They bring out the freshest pita bread in a beautiful little basket. It's paired with olive oil, seasonings, and fresh olives. We requested the chilli paste as well.
I knew when I bit into that warm pita bread dipped into those amazing seasonings.. GOODNESS IT WAS YUMMY..... I knew immediately this was going to be a great experience. It was hard to make a decision because everything sounded good. The food they were bringing out to other guests look amazing as well.
I ordered the Lamb Chops with Rice, Baba Ganoush and Hummus.
Everything was DYNAMIC. The service was superb. The Chef came out with a smile to check on us. His wife was there as well. Kuddos you guys have developed an amazing establishment. Keep up the good work. Meeting the chef is always a plus in my book. It makes the experience more personable.
I would highly recommend this hidden gem if you're ever in the Tampa area. This was the best meal I had on my vacation. Thank you Chef for this experience. Thank you to my mentor and friend for bringing to one of her favorite regular & local gems.

I was there an hour ago with my friend . It was my first time trying this place.
I was recommended by my friends to try it.
I enjoyed everything . I ordered the mix grill and it was very delicious, very tasty, the meat was very tender and was cooked perfectly. I went to so many middle eastern restaurants and wasn’t as good as his place. I will definitely come back again.
All the staff were so friendly. Our server was Kim , she was very sweet and fast. Our order came quick and especially chef Yousef kept going around all the tables to check on his customers.
GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE and thank you again ?

By far, head and shoulders above all, the best Arab food I’ve had the pleasure of eating in the U.S. No close second can claim to have better food, especially the falafel. Everything is made with love and a grounded homey feeling. Authentic, invigorating, classic, and feels like dining at my grandmothers place.

Food is delicious and service is very nice. I recommend #41, which is great chicken with rice. I got 2 sides of baba ganoush, which were very good. The cucumber salad and falafel are also fantastic. Will be back!!

Terrible service. said to be a 20 minute wait over the phone while 30 minutes passed we arrived just for our food not to be ready. A 20 minute wait to almost a hour wait.
