What People Are Saying About Olive Bistro Mediterranean Cafe

In Short – A great choice for casual dinners and last-minute lunches, this tiny bistro has big potential to make your list of favorite standbys. With a sister restaurant in Vinings, the in town Ponce location skimps on decor--the interior is little more that a counter, a display case and some tables--but charms with prompt, courteous service and authentic, affordable food. The piped in music doesn't overwhelm, allowing the eclectic clientele to converse with ease. Crunchy, spicy falafel and smooth, creamy hummus topped with olive oil and paprika make excellent starters. Solid entree…

Fresh and Best

by culture99 at Citysearch

The very best in fresh, healthy Mediterranean, Middle Eastern food.

The homoos is always so fresh and smooth. I love the taste and the price. Tabboleh is a very nice portion, enough to share or if you are alone, go for the sides. wow, what a deal. A 2.50 side of fresh healthy salad with any of the sandwiches or meals.

It really is a very good price for good food, good health

I workout at the gym and then head to Olive Bistro for a healthy lunch .

I have also tried take- out and it tastes just as good on the go.

The sandwich is just right, not too small and not massive where you are getting more bread than fillings which is the case at so, so many places around , especially around Midtown and Emory. Who wants so much bread and so little fillings? I love Olive Bistro for fresh, filling, great prices , great service of high quality, made from scratch, healthy food. I love the owners, they are always around and you can tell that they are involved in everything, it is their food, not a franchise or chain, local owners that love the food and love to share it with us. I have been eating at Olive bistro for well over 10 years, and go many times a week. I feel like family and that is how they treat me and all that they break bread with, they never skimp.. Quality stuff.

  • Pros: Best homoos, Gyros
  • Cons: more pastries, please

LAMB IS PERFECT

by sam456 at Citysearch

FOOD IS SO GOOD, FRESH , AND THE SERVICE

IS FAST, FRIENDLY

I go five times a week and never eat the same thing, unless I want to because there is so much on the

menu.

I always have lamb, lamb on salads, lamb on pita, lamb kebob, lamb on pasta

You can build your own salad, and get what toppings you want

This is always fresh and healthy

The prices are good and you can tell that the meat and chicken are very good quality, not like those 5.99 places that must be serving meat surprise, that scares me

For just a few coins more than big Macs, you are eating fresh, healthy food and now the news is all over the mediterranean diet. I have been going here for years, so this place was well ahead of the times as they have been selling fresh, healthy in midtown for years and it always Rocks

They have 2 locations and both are great and always fresh, Midtown and Vinings

I am usually at Midtown, but when I visit the family, I go to Vinings. Great vibe at both places

Olive Bistro, you have my vote

I

  • Pros: LAMB, SALADS, SERVICE
  • Cons: ADDICTIVE TO THE FODD, GOTTA HAVE IT
