The Olive Tree Mediterranean Cafe

Vegetarian grape leaves were amazing, nice flavor and texture. Shashuka was very flavorful and bright. Dessert, not going to speak it correctly kinefe(kunefe, when we were in Turkey) was worth the price of admission. Definitely we will be back.

Had the BEST experience at this local Hilliard area Columbus food spot ! The Olive Tree Mediterranean Cafe -Amazing friendly staff , Lara was the best ! Cozy indoor relaxed environment and THE FOOD ! Delicious! Generous portions : lamb gyro , falafel and coconut macaron dessert is what I had & recommend ALL . If you’re looking for a great Mediterranean place & your on that side of town check them out. I can’t wait to go back to try some other things off the menu 😄

Staff is great. food was nice, and i enjoyed my time there.

I'm very critical about food. , this restaurant has outdone itself, the food is fresh, delicious, the hummus is excellent, the falafel is excellent, the salad is fresh, the meat is a feast for the palate, a culinary experience if you're in the area, don't miss it, I really hope I'll be in the area again soon

While passing through Hilliard, for lunch, I am a lover of falafel‘s and get them wherever I go. Honestly, these are the best falafel’s I have ever eaten in my life!! Very friendly staff and a really quaint and clean dining room too❤️.

Food took 35 minutes with only 2 other tables in the place. Greek salad was good, calamari delicious. My husband enjoyed his gyro. Unfortunately, my chicken schnitzel was dry. I’m not picky but didn’t even eat it. I would come back and try something else.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED this place. I am in the Columbus area 4 to 5 times a year and love going to what appear to be family owned and operated ethnic restaurants, and this place didn't let me down!!! I try to never visit the same place twice, but this would make me violate my rule. Just go!!!!

I have been here several times in the past. It used to be a much better selection of food. The service was slow. The baklava was in a roll like a burrito. Not traditional layers. Just not at all what I expected. Maybe new ownership and new crew? Definitely not what it used to be.

We were warmly welcomed on entry and seated for brunch in the open, inviting dining space. Family friendly atmosphere and an interesting cocktail menu (which looked tempting, but it was brunch!). Had to peruse the food menu for awhile because whatever I picked I would then not be able to taste something else! I settled on the Shakshuka with spicy sujak and was not disappointed, it was hearty and very flavorful. We had the turkish coffee, trio dips and gyro as well. All the food was delicious, freshly prepared with generous portions. Took some delicious baklava home for later. Three of us immensely enjoyed our meal. Five stars!

Kid-friendliness: Very open warm relaxed.

My good friends, Olev and Jean, introduced me to the Olive Tree Cafe in Hilliard for Sunday brunch today. The owner and chef, Lara Maleh, cooked us a very impressive meal! The atmosphere there is very inviting for all, their menu extensive, the food exceptional and the wait staff's service excellent! I definitely will be back soon! Please check it out and invite your friends too! Linda C.

We had brunch here today - ordered the kebbeh and the cheese rolls - they were both YUM! Also the shakshuka with the Feta and the eggplant. I loved their food and their sense of generous hospitality! Thank you. We will be back!
