This restaurant was around the block from my hotel in a recent visit to NOLA. I liked the food a lot and ate twice there in a few days. Nothing fancy but tasty dolma, Baba Ghanoush, Humous.

Very tasty food. The guy serving was nice and prompt. Prices are fair. It is a plainly decorated (not decorated like a Greek/Lebanese/Turkish or other Mediterranean restaurants I have been before)

Outstanding Mediterranean food. Schwarma gyro meat is super fresh, chicken meat flavorful, rice is delicious, pita bread fresh, tahini perfect, hummus outstanding. I appreciate how hard they work here. Thank you for not taking bad shortcuts. Been to many Mediterranean places where the gyro meat is old and chewy, the rice flavorless, the pita bread from a box, even had rotten tahini once. Not here!

The food was really good. The service was slow with only one waiter, but the food was really good. The atmosphere was just booths and tables but the food was really good!
After eating many heavy meals, we were excited to find a restaurant offering some lighter fare. We walked 25 minutes from our hotel only to find a handwritten note on the door saying they were closed for a holiday. I fully support a business closing for a personal holiday, but this should be relayed to the customer. Nowhere on their website did they say they would be closed this specific day. This is very poor customer service

This is the best Mediterranean food I've had. Coming from California, I often eat top rated Mediterranean food and Olive truly set a new standard. Every dish we had was more flavorful and tasty than expected. I'd highly recommend this.

Great food: fresh, simple and delicious! Great friendly service. Not pestering to leave or harassment to pay the bill quickly and get out. Not noisy despite being full. Reasonably priced. Can't wait to get back.

Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing Olive, a new dining establishment nestled in the heart of NOLA at 339 Carondelet St. My visit left me thoroughly impressed by the culinary delights, impeccable service, and inviting ambiance.The food surpassed all expectations; I indulged in the falafel platter paired with two sides, and relished stuffed grape leaves also accompanied by two sides. Each dish was executed flawlessly, boasting impeccable flavors and textures.The service was exemplary. Our waiter exhibited attentiveness and warmth, ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. His insightful recommendations enhanced our culinary journey.The atmosphere exuded a cozy charm, fostering an intimate dining environment that enhanced the overall experience.In sum, my time at Olive was nothing short of delightful. I wholeheartedly endorse this establishment to anyone seeking a delectable meal coupled with unparalleled hospitality.Vegetarian options: I was thoroughly impressed by the array of vegetarian choices at the Olive at 339 Carondelet St, New Orleans LA. Opting for the falafel platter accompanied by two sides, alongside stuffed grape leaves also served with two sides, I found each dish cooked impeccably. The vegetables boasted freshness and rich flavor, while the sauce offered a delicate creaminess. I wholeheartedly recommend [restaurant name] to fellow vegetarians; not only is the food delightful, but the service is outstanding, and the ambiance inviting. I am eagerly looking forward to returning soon!
