Hummus & homemade baklava were truly wonderful, I’d go back just for those. But we found the tabbouleh, meat grape leaves, rice, and cucumber yogurt salad to be extremely bland & disappointing — have had way better of each at numerous other Arabic restaurants. Also, we were not fans at all of their version of schwarma — the meat was caked in dry powdered seasonings. The atmosphere also could be elevated in simple but effective ways, such as perhaps using real glassware instead of their big red plastic Coca Cola cups for all the beverages . We also had to wait an extremely long time for the server to bring part of our appetizer which the kitchen had forgotten. Our entrees came already by the time they brought it.

I pickup food to go at Green Olives a few times a month for me and my coworkers. We’re always satisfied with the food and the service is outstanding. This restaurant truly offers some of the best Mediterranean food in New Orleans!

I'm surprised this place is not completely packed. Chicken shawarma was delicious and tasted like a home-cooked meal - not to mention reasonable price for chicken, rice, hummus, and pita combo. Will be back!

Absolutely delicious. Do not let the simplicity upon entering fool you. The falafels were soft and delicious inside. The lentil soup is out of this world just like moms! The hummus, the tabouli salad the eggplant spread excellent this is my new favorite place and it's very clean.

Came here for lunch with a friend. I had my fave: lamb kebab with tabouleh and baba ganoush. The service was good. My friend and I thought the menu was very similar to another nearby Middle Eastern restaurant but that the quality here was better! Hope to return for lunch soon! Recommended.

We were craving Mediterranean today, and this happened to be really close to school. I am happy we chose this place. I got the chicken shwarma plate with hummus and rice. It also comes with pita. My bf ordered the beef shawarma sandwich, and turkish coffee. The service was fast and nice. The building itself was literally beautiful, and it was nice eating with a view!

Although my takeout order was missing a dish, I really love the food here. The falafel plate is delicious and it's always an absolute treat when I'm wanting to spoil myself! I'd absolutely recommend- I just wish I got my full order.

Went for lunch/early dinner. We shared a falafel starter, which was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. We also shared a combination kabob plate with hummus and tabouleh. All three meats were tender, nicely seasoned and full of flavor. The lamb was my favorite. The hummus and tabouleh were delicious as well.

Stopped in while staying a few days to get son setup for Tulane. The Tilapia, Gyros, and Shawarma were excellent. Very generous portions. Sides and bread were great as well. Nice relaxing dinner that was tasty and filling.
