I am based in the building, and finding halal dining options nearby can be difficult. However, today I decided to try this establishment, and I'm delighted that I did. I opted for a chicken rice bowl with yellow rice, tabbouleh, pita, and hot sauce on the side. The spicy chicken is incredibly flavorful and just the right level of spice. A little pricey for sure though.... But the food is delicious, and the staff is also exceptionally friendly. I'm truly pleased to have come across this gem! Alhamdulillah!

Ordered OMG through my corporate delivery service. Food came hot and fresh. Portions were a bit small but plenty of variety of items to fill you up. I loved the cucumber yogurt dip. Made some pita pockets with the ingredients for a tasty combo. Be forewarned - the chicken kabob I ordered is pretty spicy. If you're not a spice lover like me, you may be in for a rough time. Pro tip - putting the yogurt over the chicken definitely toned down the spice to a more tolerable level.Thanks OMG!

Even though OMG is “chainey”, it is damn good food. The spicy chicken kabob is amazing.

The falafels were dried out and tasted as if they had been sitting for hours. The POS system was malfunctioning and we had to wait for quite some time until they rebooted it.

The flavors were so delicious and meat was very tender and juicy. Staff was also kind and very accommodating with my order. I only wanted meat and they had no issues with that!Dietary restrictions: Carnivore

I have ordered from Olive Mediterranean Grill several times for my staff at work and each time it was a hit, so I decided to order again for a large group we were feeding in another department before a meeting. I ordered a large package for 50 people which included Mediterranean salad, hummus and pita bread, chicken shawarma, steak shawarma, chicken kabobs, yellow rice, falafel and a variety of 3 different sauces, It was a nice spread. The food was as good as always, except we had 2 issues:1) My requested delivery time was 11:30. At 11 am, the delivery driver called me to say he had arrived, but I was in a meeting and could not answer my phone. I then received a text that he had left my order in the lobby. I specifically stated in the instructions NOT to leave my food in the lobby, because we had issues with theft before.2) On the order, my special instructions stated nothing spicy. The chicken kabobs are spicy, thus the request to make them mild as not everyone in this group can tolerate spicy food and this was their request to me. The chicken kabobs were spicy!! They completely disregarded what I asked for. And if they couldn't accommodate me, they should have contacted me before fulfilling the order. For a $1,000 order, I expect better!!

Been driving past this place never see many ppl inside , didn't think it was worth it, had a taste for falafel and hummus, and boy a grand slam in the south loop excellent experience to say the leastVegetarian options: Falafel ,hummus,plenty veggies
I really enjoy this place. It's pretty quick and the food is great! You get a good amount for the price as well, especially compared to the places nearby. One of my favorite lunch spots for sure.

i paid $10 for a falafel sandwich, which normally costs $5 everywhere else. i ordered from Olive because the menu indicates the sandwich includes salad and potatoes, and these were not included in my order - not in my sandwich and not on the side. either they screwed up my order or their menu is completely inaccurate. i would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. i am extremely disappointed at the quality product i got for what i paid.

First time trying this location for lunch, with no real expectations. At this particular location service is fast & prompt. I went ahead and tried the Chicken Shawarma in which the chicken was seasoned nicely, the naan bread was fresh but I would've liked the other ingredients to pop more. I like the concept, & do feel that it's not necessarily worth the price. I've tried other Mediterranean restaurants/dishes and this location doesn't hit it on the nail for me personally. Although, my personal experience was mediocre I would still say if you're feeling the itch to try it go ahead.

Food is always fresh and tastes great. The owner is a nice guy and remembers you.

Absolutely the worst. Ordered through Uber Eats twice and they gave the wrong food. I called the second time to ask why and the response was, ask for a refund from Uber Eats. No apology or how to make it up. Clearly, they don't care about the quality of food or customer service.
