Mt. Olive Mediterranean Grill

Delicious and the kindest people! They need more patrons and you should go! The pictures alone have you eating with your eyes. We tried the chicken shawarma platter, which came with a delightful garlic sauce and the rice was flavorful and fluffy. It also had a super refreshing cucumber tomato salad on the side. We also ordered the charcoal grilled chicken tender platter, which came with pickled vegetables and some roasted ones too. Everything there was good. For appetizers and sides we ordered falafel and hummus with pita. Both were very tasty. Seasoned well, and worth the trip. The best part about the trip, was the kindness and attentiveness of the owner. While I waited I was offered a lentil soup sampling, which I could have made a meal out of in this cold weather. And was also given

What a wonderful experience. Let start off by saying we love Mediterranean food. We’ve had some incredible food throughout the Midwest. I can say with all honesty, this restaurant is near the top. You can never judge a book by its cover. This was a great example. We decide on the hummus and falafel for an appetizer. I went with the half a chicken. My wife had chicken shawarma, and my son had chicken as well. He asked the gentleman to pick his entree. He very much liked the chicken and was glad he let him pick. Overall, fantastic option that’s not too heavy and it’s healthy. Everything was delicious. 6 stars.

If you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean food with a homemade touch, this is the place to go! Although the restaurant is small, it’s comfortable enough to make you feel right at home. It has a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, and the owner, Alex, is truly an exceptional person. He welcomed us and treated us as if we were guests in his own home. The food is fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care—definitely the kind of meal that makes you want to come back. We even found out it was Alex’s birthday on the day we visited! I’m especially grateful for the soup he offered to prepare for my husband after learning he was in the hospital. May God bless the work of his hands! Highly recommended!

Had a great first experience at Mt. Olive. I love Mediterranean food and this restaurant has by far some of the best I’ve ever had. The owner made sure we felt welcome and the service was top notch. We dined in and ordered the mixed grill. It was delicious! We were offered samples of other things try. The lentil soup and falafel are the bomb!! Can’t wait to come back!

I’ve visited Mt Olive Mediterranean Grill about five times now, and every single visit has been consistently amazing. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Their sauces are incredible—rich, delicious, and the perfect complement to every dish. The falafels deserve a special shoutout: perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and never dry. I also tried their lentil soup recently, and it was absolutely delicious—comforting and full of flavor. On top of the great food, the service is always warm and welcoming. You can really tell they care about quality in both their dishes and their customer experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, satisfying Mediterranean food!
