I have eaten here many times and gotten takeout, and the food is consistently flavorful and fresh. I love the build your own pitas with falafel or lamb meatballs. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere which makes it a great place to meet for lunch or dinner, and it's affordable. My kids love it when their school groups cater from Dates & Olives!

The food was not fresh and it was cold when brought to the table even though it took too long to prepare it. The table was dirty. It looks like they never wipe down the table nor do they mop the floors. The windows are dirty and nasty. The chairs stick to the floors and have not been wiped down in years. The napkins are cheap. You need tons of napkins to wipe off your hands and face.

I'm sorry to say that the tastiness of the food here has declined substantially over the years. It is now bland, i.e., with very little spices.

We've enjoyed a number of wonderful takeout meals from Dates and Olives, especially the dinners for 2 and 4. We have complex food allergies in our home and the menu and staff are very accommodating. Highly recommend!

I am so happy that I chose Dates & Olives to cater my birthday celebration! Renita was such a pleasure to chat with about the menu and I was so impressed with her attention to detail as we decided on the catering order together. She explained how she always considers the variety of flavors and colors. She was able to assure me that my friends with various food allergies would be able to safely eat the food. They were prompt to set up the food at the event and even gave us serving spoons and extra containers for guests to bring home leftovers. There was so much food for everyone to enjoy- vegetarians, vegans & meat-eaters. We all loved the food and the day after the party I got many messages from friends saying how much their families loved the leftovers too! I highly recommend Dates & Olives if you are looking for a caterer for an event or if you are curious about checking out their delicious restaurant!

The garlic hummus was creamy and full of flavor, the falafel was perfectly crisp, the souvlaki was tender, and the feta was wonderfully salty. Dates and Olives truly delivers some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve tried, and the prices are very reasonable. I’ll definitely be back.
We chose this place by random and everything we ordered: the spicy hummus, the crispy falafel, mixed kebab platter, exceeded our expectations at this restaurant, truly showcasing the best of Middle Eastern Food in every bite. All the taste buds were engaged! Would recommend

Overpriced. Very long wait and food came out one item at a time. The food was good, but a lunch shawarma for $16 is extreme. We were compensated with hard chocolate chip cookies for our extended wait time.

I had Dates and Olives cater a family dinner for me and everyone enjoyed the food. They all wanted to know where we got it. I've also been there several times for lunch and it's delicious, fresh and healthy. If you're in downtown Natick you have to give it a try. Also, think about them for catering events as well.

My family recently went to Dates and Olives and had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and made several very good suggestions. The food was extremely fresh and you could just tell the quality of ingredients was top notch. We love Mediterranean food and this is some of the best we had. We absolutely loved the hummus and babaganouj. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. I would highly recommend.
Don’t waste your money lol
