My Albanian wife and I loved our lunch experience here. It was our first time…read more They had a special hummus with ground lamb appetizer. The ground lamb didn't overpower the already expertly executed hummus and added fantastic depth and richness. We also sprung for the grilled calamari tubes and the chef did a great job of not overcooking while achieving an excellent char. We shared the baked cod and the spice was delicate and perfect. Using cured lemon was a very clever idea as the sauce was not too strong but still had depth; the saffron and turmeric were well balanced. The fish itself was NOT overcooked and flaked perfectly. The vegetables were also executed well and cooked so they could be eaten with the same bite. The star of the show was still the cook on the fish with the wonderful sauce. The sever gave us some Moroccan mint tea which was also wonderful. We will be making the drive from the Maine Line to just to dine here again.

Our first time at Blue Olive was to celebrate a birthday and it didn't disappoint…read more The fusion of Mediterranean/Tunisian/Greek food was nothing short if spectacular. The service was incredibly friendly and gracious and the ambiance charming. We started with hot appetizers of roasted artichokes, pan fried Halloumi cheese, Spanakopita and an evening special hummus with spiced, minced lamb served with warm pita. All so delicious we were tempted to forego our main courses of moussaka, lamb kebab and delicious lemon/caper cod served over a bed of roasted root vegetable. Desserts, celebrated with a happy birthday candle on a scrumptious chocolate/hazelnut cake , walnut baklava and Turkish coffee made the evening complete. This BYOB gem is a culinary find and we will be going back soon.

Absolutely the worst Mediterranean food I have ever had and I grew up eating this cuisine, so I…read moreknow what it's supposed to taste like. Within minutes of eating, my husband became sick and started throwing up. That alone should tell you everything you need to know about this place. The hummus was bland, watery, and completely flavorless and the portion was laughably small for $10. The lamb shawarma was so dry it was practically inedible, while the chicken shawarma was aggressively over-salted and loaded with spices in the worst way possible. Even the rice was undercooked, which is basic and hard to mess up. We spent $100 here and it felt like we literally threw our money in the trash. This place is a complete disappointment and honestly concerning from a food safety standpoint. If you value your money -- and your stomach -- stay far away from this restaurant.

The place has a nice amount of seating and the staff is very friendly. They also always have deals going on so it's a great place to keep up with!

Ardana Food & Drink - Warrington, PA…read more I recently visited Ardana to try a few of their new menu items along with a couple of long-time favorites, and once again, this place reminded me why it's one of my go-to spots in Bucks County. We started with our absolute favorite small plate, the Whipped Ricotta with saba and EVOO, served with grilled semolina bread. The saba drizzle adds this subtle sweetness that completely sets it apart from any other ricotta dish around. Simple, fresh, and absolutely perfect. Next up was one of the new items, the Italian Sausage Soup with kale, orzo, and pecorino. It was hearty and flavorful, the kind of soup that feels like a warm hug on a cold night. Then came the Honeycrisp Apple Salad, made with mixed greens, dried cherries, gorgonzola, toasted pine nuts, and champagne vinaigrette. I decided to add a chicken cutlet (because, you know, protein goals), and I'm so glad I did , the chicken cutlet at Ardana is outstanding. Crispy, juicy, and easily one of the best I've had locally. Another new menu item I tried was the Spinach Ravioli Carbonara with crispy pepperoni, pecorino, and chives. The flavor balance was fantastic, creamy, smoky, and rich, though I do wish the portion came with a few more raviolis because it was that good. And of course, I couldn't leave without ordering my go-to large plate: the Pork Chop Parm. This time, I switched things up and asked for vodka sauce instead of the San Marzano tomato sauce, and it was a hit! Even a few staff members turned their heads when it came out. Trust me, try it "drunken style" if you're in the mood to remix a classic. Overall, the new menu items at Ardana get straight A's from me. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and the food hit every note. Whether you're stopping in for small plates, cocktails, or a full dinner, Ardana continues to be a standout in the Warrington dining scene. Must-order: Whipped Ricotta Pro tip: Add the chicken cutlet to your salad, you won't regret it.

We ordered 3 platters and they took an hour to receive. We were charged $55 then told we weren't charged for one of the platters and were told we had to pay additional money for the platter. Upon looking at the receipt it does look like one was rang up as $0 but we noticed automatic gratuity when we weren't even served. We got our own drinks and ordered at the cash register so why would we pay gratuity. There was also another fee on there that I'm not even sure what it was. So we ended up paying over $70 for 3 platters. My son's beef was hard and dry. The chicken platters were ok.

I do not normally eat at gas stations and was taken back when I arrived. However, I'm an hour away from home and needed something to eat fast... then get back on the road.

Once you can get past the fact that it's in the gas station. I sat in my car and ate. And then got back on the road.

There's ample parking in front of the building. The restrooms are handicap, accessible The atmosphere is decorated with a beautiful Mediterranean theme, florals , wood themed throughout , greenery, and plants. Great for date night as well. Greeted via a wonderful gentleman Fred , who is also the owner of Mediterranean Grill. He seated us immediately. He took our order we decided to go with a chicken Shawarma wrap And lamb Shawar. Both had a beautiful presentation. We ordered a side dish of grape leaves and a hummus dip. The dip was amazing, smooth and creamy and flavorful, and the grape leaves had just the right touch of flavor, rolled to perfection. The chicken Shawarma was lightly seasoned with a garlic cream sauce. The lamb Shawarma was equally just as good and flavorful. The dessert was a Osmayli - creamy and delicious, not too heavy . The prices are reasonable. When I visit Bethlehem Pennsylvania again I would definitely stop by here and if you are here, I say stop by give it a try you will not be disappointed and you will thank me later Say hello to Fred
