The Olive Oil Restaurant

We had a great time! We enjoyed every moment, from the Greek wine to our mighty appetizer smorgasbord of tasty Greek finger foods. The Bekri Meze appetizer and baklava were our favorites and I recommend ordering these. Our main dishes came out fast and hot. The Pastitisio, Greek lasagna, was cheesy, a little sweet but mixed with all the spices, it was scrumptious. Our other dish was Chicken Santorini. It did not look like the picture online but had loads of chicken and creamy rice goodness. Lastly, we had the Baklava-MMM so good. It was served in a sweet sauce, making it mushy on the bottom, yet still had the crunch on top from the filo dough. You could really taste the cinnamon and walnuts. Our server was great and attentive. The restaurant has a Greek feel, from the outside all the way in to the table you sit at. We did not get to see any dancers but maybe they aren't there on Mondays. We can't wait to go back and we have already planned out what we are going to order next time! Suggestions: Serve the appetizer plate with lemon wedges and your homemade marinara sauce. They have lots of wine to choose from, but no one had really tried them and could only tell us what sold the most.

Finally was able to check this placeOut. Just a reminder this place is ran by the parents and the Omega Grille a couple blocks away is ran by their children.Plenty of parking in a shared lot with other businesses and plenty of tables.We arrived approx 12:30 and the place was about 1/2 full. By 1:30pm the placed packed with a waiting line.We (my GF and I) had the app of pita, crumble feta and Olive oil and Arnold Palmers for drinks. I suggest using sweet tea when ordering if you want a sweet taste as I do.We ordered the Gyro plate $15 which you get the meat, onions, tomatoes and sauce with triangle pieces of pita and 1 side order. We ordered sweet potato fries and broccoli and cauliflower compared to ordering just a gyro with comes assembled and wrapped. But you would get less ingredients compared to the plate. We had so much food that afterwards we combined our leftovers and put into a to go box and had enough for another serving.We also ordered the Alexander the Great $15 for dessert and shared and could only eat half as it was large enough for 3-4 people to share.Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, prices were great and service and staff were great. Plenty of people checked on us, drinks kept full and it was easy to talk at table as the place was not loud and crazy.This place is a must try you won't be sorry.

The olive oil is one of the best family owned restaurants in the area. Tula and her family are amazing. Everyone should support local businesses like the olive oil.I love this place the family and I have been eating lunch here for years. There lemon chicken soup is the cure for the common cold. Service if great and on the weekends they have belly dancers.

Despite a four-year gap between visits, the atmosphere remains delightful, and the food is as delicious as ever. The attentive service ensures that glasses stay full, and the generous portions guarantee a satisfying meal with leftovers to spare. The taste is consistently superb.As a grape leaf enthusiast (or so I though), I was pleasantly surprised during today's visit to experience them warm for the first time, and they were absolutely fantastic. I don't recall them being served hot during my last visit four years ago. The staff, known for their extreme niceness and professionalism, ensures that I never have to request a refill, and the food arrives swiftly and piping hot.If there's one minor drawback, it would be the house fries or chips. It seems they might be mass-prepared, as the ones I received on this occasion had a slightly aged appearance and lacked the desired crispiness, almost verging on soggy. However, this doesn't diminish the overall appeal of the establishment. It simply means that when choosing a side, I might opt for something other than the house fries unless I can request them freshly prepared straight from the oil or oven.

Came here for lunch since I was in the area. The food was good, but not great. Generous portions! Service was fast and our waiter was very polite. Ambiance-- giving My Big Fat Greek Wedding vibes!

Food and service all excellent! I love the way the lamb chops are prepared. Recommend that you try them.

Greek craving gone, can't ask for better food. Service was mid but hey we came during the busy hours so it's expected. Otherwise, the espresso, the skewers and the cheese appetizers were delicious, I come here after work in the woodlands to wait out traffic.

I have lived in the Woodlands area for almost 10 years and wow! I have never realized that we had the best Greek food in town. That is the only negative comment I will make about them - they need to advertise more!!! HAHAHA... I wish I could be their media influencer because they truly deserve all the attention.The artestry and exterior/interior design is amazing, makes you feel transported to Greece. There is a family-like feel amongst the staff which is heartwarming. I love their entertainment too!! We are going back for my mom's birthday celebration because there will be belly-dancing!!The quantity of the plates is HUGE. You will be definitely leaving with the next day's lunch or dinner :-) We tried a little bit of everything on the menu, so I won't bore you with the deets. Their Greek lasagna is delish! Also, their gyro meat is perfectly crispy. The dish with all the meat skewers (lamb, chicken, steak) is the perfect table share food. I loved how their baklava was not too sweet and dripping with honey, so it was not overwhelming. I am excited to try their chocolate cake!!

The phrase "get em to the greek!" for some reason was echoing in my head in early January which prompted me to pull an ubereats order as I continued dogsitting for my homie in the Spring/Woodlands area. This restaurant popped up on my search for greek/mediterrean eats so I went with it. Wanting a variety of items, the Zeus Platter popped up which contained several eats of goodness so I went with that. Also got a spanicorizo (spinach and rice casserole) side item). After about 35 min, the food arrived and I dug in.So the Zeus Platter consists of moussake, pastitsio, cheese pie, spinach pie, gyro meat, dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), tzetziki, pita bread, green beans, chicken souvlaki, and over roasted potatoes. Is that enough for one person!? So much food that I had leftovers for the next day. All the items were tasty. The pastitsio, green beans, potatoes, and tzetziki with the pita bread were the best ones. The spanicorizo, while tasty, was very runny; not sure if it was intended that way. The spinach pie (spanokopita) was alright although a bit soggy but that's due to being on the bottom with the cheese pie.Definitely will order from here again or just stop in and eat at the restaurant. Get em to the Olive Oil!

Wow is all I can say. Super fresh authentic Greek food. What an absolute gem in N. Houston. I can not wait for my next business trip to the area. Thanks for amazing service and amazing food. Opa!!!
