A neighborhood gem tucked away in an unassuming sea of office buildings. This eatery has solid breakfast/lunch food. We got the gyro, breakfast burger and french toast. I highly recommend the sweet potato tots!! So good!!! To find a place in this area with no line and tastes amazing on a Saturday morning is heaven sent! Would recommend!

Flavorful, zesty, organic, wholesome and clean - these words I'd use to describe my vegan kabob and experience.This cafe-style vibe and restaurant is a great place for Middle Eastern food. The one entree I ordered for dinner was sufficient for myself. Yes, the price at ~$20 was a bit higher than expected (given it was salad/greens and hummus), but the taste was so good, I am giving it a near perfect score at 4.5/5Perhaps it might be better to come here for lunch (if they have lunch specials) instead. If prices were slightly cheaper, I'd come here more often. Nonetheless, great job.

Let me be clear, I really love olive! However, I felt it really necessary to come back and adjust a star. Typically, the employees at this restaurant are great. However, I recently had a negative interaction with the assumed owner of the restaurant - the woman who is always there. I requested an additional sauce, which is less than a true tablespoon amount and she attempted to charge me $1.25. Ma'am, I come here 3+ times a week. And sometimes, you forget the sauce altogether. And I order online, which results in an additional $1 fee. Good here is still great, but that's not how you do business.

Love this place! It is the perfect brunch spot, everything is fresh, delicious and authentically Mediterranean. I love the labneh, their hummus, and the Beirut breakfast which comes with fresh fruit and veggies and the most delicious dips, falafel and bread. The pistachio French toast is incredible - that comes with two thick, delicious slices of toast and an incredible nutty topping. No pictures were taken because we ate everything too fast since it was incredible. I only wish they were also open on Sunday and offered their Saturday brunch menu on both days. Definitely check this place out, you won't regret it!

Went here today to do brunch with some friends! I did not see a reservation system online, so my friend called and made a reservation for three at 11, which I would highly recommend on a weekend as they get very busy and very full! The place is right in front of Sola salon, we went around in a square because we couldn't find it, but it's behind the building, not on the street side, and we paid to park in the garage. Paid street parking is also available. Service here is very slow, but it's not bad at all; my friends and I had a really great time catching up and sitting there for a few hours, but if you're someone who wants to get up and go maybe it would irritate you. They are so nice and greet everyone who walks in, it feels very personal ! The meat is all Halal, which is very nice :) my friends got the chicken and OE kebab and I got the Beirut breakfast - everything was delicious and portion sizes were good! The drinks were delicious as well, my friend got a pistachio latte, the other got a peppermint hot chocolate, and I got the mint lemonade (I appreciated it was not slushy). We also got the chocolate cake and baklava. The baklava didn't have a lot of syrup so it felt a little dry but was still good and the chocolate cake was so rich! Bathroom was also clean - you do have to ask staff so they can give the key.I will definitely come back again !!

I visited Olive today for the first time in a while, and was really pleased. First thing I noticed was the service- it used to be quite slow, but today it was noticeably quick. They also had employees taking orders from tables which was nice. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter; the chicken was cooked to perfection and was so flavorful. I really enjoyed the quinoa too. The cucumber and tomato salad was also delicious and I really love that garlic spread (though be prepared with mints for the rest of the day!) I'll definitely pop in again sooner rather than later.

Fabulous takeout lunch! Everything is fresh and soooo flavorful! I was a regular customer when this business was in my Herndon office building, but the pandemic hit the location irreparably -- I am delighted to find them in Ballston. Chicken is amazing. Hummus is killer! Love the spices and garlic levels I. Everything. Just YUM overall!

The lebneh was outstanding! The texture smoother than ice cream and paired with a really delicious olive oil it was heaven. The sprig of mint made it perfection itself. Thank you. I'm not even going to complain about the(only) One tablespoon of sauce I got for my falafel.

Wrapping up some college visits we wanted something good where we could sit down, talk and enjoy our meal. Olive was the perfect spot. The place is clean, service was great, and the food.... If we lived closer we'd be in at least once a week. Fresh, hot, flavorful, and large servings made for a great lunch.
