Jasmin & Olivz Mediterranean - NCSU

Incredibly delicious food!! The falafel was perfectly sized and a good moisture level. Everything was beautifully flavorful. I did find it odd to have unpitted Kalamata olives in a bowl, but they were still yummy. I wish we had one of these in Charleston, WV!

I've never posted a bad review of a place because I don't like to do it, but I was really disappointed with this place. The service is terrible, and really the older lady attends in a bad way and doesn't know what she's doing or doesn't understand it, it's the second time I come and the treatment for this person is the same, the food is not bad! It just takes too long to take out a portion of potatoes and the falafel side but as long as the treatment is the same I will not return.

Ordered a falafel wrap around 9pm on a Tuesday. It was pretty good. The service was great. They let me swap out the standard pickled topping for picked onions instead. They also said I could get their standard cucumber/tomato salad topping mixture or tomato & cucumbers individually. This was super nice since it costs $1.50 per topping. Unfortunately you cant swap out the garlic or tahini for hummus but thats ok. I look forward to going back to try a platter.

Long lines and moves quickly, but what can u say, it shows food is good! They hear ur request and it’s done - if not say something while it’s being prepared in front of you! Always get good portions. Healthy food without all the work

An astoundingly negative experience. There was literally nothing about this establishment that I would recommend. Service took an inordinately long time as the two people behind the counter gave every impression that they were literally moving in slow motion. The fact that a Mediterranean restaurant didn’t actually have a vegetarian option for my date was very odd, and substituting half an avocado for chicken is frankly weird, and mall-food-court level pedestrian.

The tzatziki sauce and hummus were functionally indistinguishable from one another. One of them tasted mostly like room temperature mayonnaise - with matching consistency - the other like Elmer’s glue. Neither could be described as edible.

The salad had more than one lettuce cores in it, which given the rest of the meal was unsurprising, and the salad dressing was not only “mostly” oil, but entirely oil, with what might have been paprika mixed into it in such great proportions that when it was spooned over the salad we thought momentarily that it was barbecue sauce. Despite this, there was absolutely no flavor to this element of the meal and the salad tasted like it was swimming in bulk commercial olive oil. The salad did contain a single olive, which was literally one of the high points of the meal, unfortunately - despite the establishment having the regrettably stylized word “olivz” in its name, only one olive (“oliv” ?) was offered, which came off as cheap on the restaurant’s part. The other high point of the meal was the clearly factory-made stuffed grape leaf, but as only one was provided, this was a disappointment as well.

The pita bread was also commercial grade and clearly factory-made, which isn’t that unusual, but there wasn’t a lot of it and the few pieces I got were all outrageously different in size, which didn’t make them taste less like obligatory bread product, but was simply annoying given how little attention was paid to getting literally any other element of the meal right - except, of course, for the single “oliv.”

The chicken was unbearably dry and, much like everything else here, completely tasteless. I mixed it into a regrettable concoction of the glue-hummus and mayo-tzatziki and it all still tasted like starch and warm mayo.

In the end, we were in a hurry and didn’t have time to complain and demand a refund because we were headed to a ticketed event and complaining would have made us late on account of the initial service being so staggeringly slow.

This was an appalling waste of money (+$30 despite tasting like low-budget corporate catering) and time and I will never eat at one of these restaurants again.

Vegetarian options: Your option is half-avocado. Have fun.

The online ordering was disappointing. Form Fill ts not allowed, and they have the nerve to add on a stupid 'convenience fee'

The food was old and not fresh, which caused me stomach pain and diarrhea. This is not the same quality of service they provided years ago. Additionally, the short Spanish-speaking female worker on the morning of February 8, 2025, was extremely rude and should be held accountable for her behavior.

We ordered Jasmin for takeaway and were very impressed! The food was hot and yummy and good portions but not huge. I would recommend getting extra sauces, it felt a little dry! And the cup of tzatziki included with mine was tiny, just fyi. I’d definitely go again! Very healthy option.
