My wife and I went here for the first time tonight. The food and atmosphere far surpass what we would expect in Pasadena. This place is a hidden gem, and the owner will make you feel like the most important person in the room. We'll definitely be back soon!Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Several items on kids menu, and several options for picky eaters.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, door was opened for us upon entry and exit.

We went to Olive Branch on a whim and are sooo glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious. I had the beef kabob, my husband had the chicken, and we split some hummus. Hands down—this was the best Greek food I’ve ever had. There was also a belly dancer (apparently it happens every Friday night which is so cool!), and we were waited on like honored guests. Just a really great place and I’d love to see them continue to be successful!

Delicious! Gyro sandwich with side salad, Tabbouleh salad, rice pudding, baklavaKid-friendliness: Decore is friendly, large restaurant with many table settings including large tables for familiesWheelchair accessibility: Wide double door entry, easy parking
Out of this world!!! The food is so good that I can’t stop craving it! Flavor profiles are like nothing I’ve experienced and you can tell the thought and love that’s put into every recipe. The atmosphere suits every experience you would want! Beautiful banquet, separate lounge area, and a very family friendly section as well! We have ordered to go but the dine in experience is top tier! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great food, and very nice owners! Went here for dinner and the environment felt like you left Houston and walked into an entire different place. The waitress was very kind and very attentive, and very fast too!The owners greeted us very kindly and informed us about Friday night dancing! Must come back and eat again. Love the stuffed grape leaves!
Great food, great service, great atmosphere. The food is not bland and well seasoned. Even the salad wasn't a boring entree. Try the mixed grill for a good variety of veggies and meat!

My honest assessment:Appetizer- Grape LeavesExhibits a sharp citrus flavor initially; followed by a savory flavor of meat and rice filling. A pleasant appetizer small enough to leave you wanting more, but leaving you with room for your main course.Salad: The salad has great flavor without the need to be saturated in any additional dressing.Main CourseShish KabobWell plated on rice with kabob meat and vegetables. The meat was exceptionally tender with excellent herbal flavor. Truly an palatable experience.Dessert:Rice pudding was served cold topped with cinnamon and other seasonings. Creamy texture with not and overly powerful sweetness. The occasional hints of cinnamon and subtle floral traces of rose water were also a nice change on the palate.To Go Order:Placed To Go Order for Same mealIt came out rather quickly, almost as I finished my desert. It should be noted that I ordered it at the same time I ordered the dessert. The To Go Meal was curated with equal care as the plating meal was.Observations: I sat separate from the "party room," which appeared to be the main bar area. There was a glaringly different focus and service between the two areas. However, as a casual observer, I noticed whom I believe is the owner of the establishment, truly caring for patrons and the experience. I also witness who I believe to be the co-owner and son of the owner personally see people to the door.The owner approached me as he was leaving for the night, introduced himself, and expressed a sincerity rarely found in restaurants today. I could feel he was truly appreciative to have me come in and enjoy his food and service. The refreshing kindness accenting an already exquisite meal. Numerous patrons were treated like family, whether it was their first time or they were long-time friends/patrons.Overall, the establishment shows a true talent for hospitality despite my feeling overlooked at times. It is likely due to my separation from the crowd.My waitress was very friendly; but not overly attentive, allowing me to truly enjoy the meal.Overall, I give this place an excellent rating. If you love Greek, this is a place to go. It feels like family. I was just the black sheep of the family, so I quietly left full and happy. Specific message to the owner: You have an amazing pure energy that permeates through the whole establishment. Thank you!
The food was great! My husband and I couldn’t find a place to eat but what a great spot we picked! The food is good!
