My job gets us lunch weekly and when they ordered from here I was super excited to try it. I had a gyro wrap it was super yummy. So I ordered from here the other day I got a pita platter it comes with a greek salad and chicken. It was so good, I will defiantly order from here again.

This post is long overdue! Olive Express offers amazingly delicious food, generous portions, fair prices and friendly staff!!! What else could you ask for?? We'll I do wish they were open later and on weekends but just so I could eat there more often. All their employees are so friendly and easy to work with, Ivy at the front desk is especially kind! So we've tried the quinoa bowls, chicken curry, salmon wrap, kabob platter and tuna salad sandwich.... Literally every dish is WOW good!! It is a little hard to find since it's inside and office building but a worth the extra effort. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

This is a neighborhood gem in the Ballston area. It is tucked away in an office park off of Glebe road near a restaurant called SER. Olive Express offers excellent casual middle eastern food with a delicious attention to detail. Both their chicken and steak shawarma are excellent and their kabobs are superb, especially considering there are so many kabob restaurants in this area. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Very yummy cafe with a huge menu. I love the grilled cheese and combo with french fries and a drink! Soups are yummy too. Service is quick and efficient. Thanks for a reliable and good lunch!

Everything is delicious and portions are very large. There are often lines out the door but it's totally worth the wait. I love the paninis but the salads are also very big, delicious, and healthy. My favorite is the Ahi Tuna Bowl! Yum!

Very good quality for price! The butter chicken is my favorite thing! If it is on special you better snag it quickly! They sell out!!!! I love to order delivery from this location beacuse it shows up quickly and the food is still hot and fresh. I can't stop raving about this place to my friends. Everything I've eaten is delicious. I love the shawarma, curries, and paninis! Salads are also very filling. Hummos and Babaganoush are delicious.
Delicious. I ordered the combo sawarma plate. It's a nice portion of chicken and steak shawarma that is seasoned very well. Comes with Salad and Hummus. I loved the Hummos. Took my wife with me for lunch the next week and we both ordered: Chicken Shawarma Pita, Taboleh, Chicken Panini, Fries. Everything was so tasty. We didn't have left overs! We now order delivery frequently and the service is good. Food is delivered hot and on time.

The Mediterranean fare here is truly as good as it gets! We had the falafel, spanakopita, baba ghanoush, hummus, tabbouleh, and chicken shwarma. After trying many a bad falafel (looking at you Cava and Roti with your mushy, soggy abominations), and an occasional good ones, let me tell you these are the best falafels I have had in this area. First, these are small patties and not balls. This guarantees a higher crisp to non-crisp inside ration. Second, the crisp is a thick layer of crispy. Why fry something if it's not going to be crispy? And third, the inside holds together solidly and nothing mushes. The baba ghanoush has a nice mix of chunk and smooth, well balanced with smokiness and tahini. The hummus is adequately garlicky (you can always rinse your mouth after) and delightfully not a paste. I ate the leftovers of both with a spoon long after my hunger has satiated. I liked that the spanakopita wasn't huge where you have to go through layers and layers of philo pastry to get to the good stuff inside. The tabbouleh is well balanced between tomatoes and parsley. And it was frrrrresh! The chicken shwarma was another favorite. The whole thing comes lightly toasted, adding to a bit of texture. The slightly tart cucumber makes the whole thing, offering a balance to the creamy sauce. Also, a good amount of chicken, but not all chicken. I do wish this place was near me. Totally stoked to hear about their Arlington opening. Will definitely visit!

I usually like their sandwiches but this just makes me mad. I got the turkey and cheese panini with added avocado. This whole sandwich cost $7.16, tax included. This cost way too much!!

When I worked on sunrise valley this was one of my go-to lunch spots nearby! I really enjoyed my lunch as well as the service! They are the Mediterranean. The prices are in the realm of your usual Mediterranean resturants Thank you so much! Favorite low key spot!
