    We popped by for lunch here today. It's in a well populated strip mall next to Wright State University and Wright Patterson AFB. Upon entering, it looks and smells clean. The menu is simple, but the flavors are far from it. We got one chicken bowl and one steak bite bowl. Both had different toppings and sauces, and both were absolutely fantastic. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the cost was fantastic for what you get. Will absolutely be back!!

    Amazing food amazing service HIGHLY recommend. The girl who helped us was so nice. The food was all so flavorful! Some of the best falafel I've had in a while too.

    This review isn't meant to say this place is terrible, but as the rating system goes "Meh. I've…read moreexperienced better." I've been to hookah bars across the country, and this one has been my least favorite. Imagine this: that geeky Middle Eastern kid in you high school's parents go out of town and he decides to throw a party in his basement. That's what this place reminds me of. A high school kid throwing a party. Think old couches and uncomfortable chairs mixed together all facing a large TV in the back. When my party of 5 arrived around 9:30 PM on a Saturday night, the place with a little empty. It filled up quickly which was nice, but seemed to attract a young crowd. The TV was playing the DIY network (because who doesn't like a side of Vanilla Ice's remodeling show with your hookah)? Our server brought us menus, but it turned out they were out of tons of tobacco flavors. We had to order three different blends, each time the server came back and informed us "we don't have this flavor..." until I almost said "Tell us what you DO have so we can order". We ended up with apple and clove which was a pretty good flavor. Enjoyable. The service was a little odd. After each item we ordered, the server informed us of the cost and kind of stood there like he expected us to pay a la carte or something. Order a drink? "That'll be one dollar" for a can. We asked if we could put everything together on a tab and pay at the end (like every other hookah bar I've ever been to) and he seemed surprised by this request but honored it. All in all, the atmosphere just isn't right yet. This is a new place, so give it some time to grow. It needs more comfortable seating if it expects people to hang out and relax. It needs more than some cans of coke served for a buck. It needs to keep it's tobacco stocked or inform you before you order what they're out of. Give this place a try, but maybe wait until they've gotten into their groove. However, the place gets two stars because the hookah was made quickly and prepared well. It was a good flavor and was quite smooth.

    This isn't my usual cup of tea. I usually turn into a pumpkin around 11:00pm, and am already in…read morebed. Needless to say, a good friend of mine wanted to meet up here. It was just her and I last night. This is my first time coming this place... let alone the first time in five or so years that I've been to any hookah bars. I'm not generally interested in them, as I'm much more capable of packing and prepping a better hookah. I understand they're catering to the masses here, but those little details make a huge difference. And I HATE quick lights, but hey, what can they do? I'm not going to say much about the hookah set up itself. I didn't like it. But what impressed me was the quickness of the service and the politeness that both main servers/hostesses exhibited. I was especially fond of the female that was working. The typical reaction when two girls walk into a club/bar/hookah bar still happened. Two guys who were hosting came up and chatted with us for a bit...it was a rough drawn out conversation. My friend could tell that I was about to kill them, so she dismissed them politely before I said anything. Honestly, they were much more polite than other places I've been to, but I don't enjoy the small talk guys try to make with girls that come in by themselves. We were there to catch up with each other. Not for attention. Not for you. Regardless, the crowd here is very relaxed and reserved. ...At least, it was on a Monday. I'll go back for the service. It's a nice place to hang out with a friend when your significant other is fast asleep at your house and you don't want to wake him up with company. :p

    My last review was 5 stars but this place has lost mad props. The menu has changed, cannot add mayo…read moreon the schwarma wrap, and when I asked, whom I believe was the owner lady, I was told no she can't give me mayo...whyyyy???? The menu SUGGESTED adding mayo but that's apparently not allowed anymore. The place was weirdly quiet, the drink station was dirty, the Greek potato's in my to go order were FREEZING. The sauce on the side was a mix of liquid and chunky and was needed because there was zero seasoning on the potato's. The wrap had no pickle but promised pickle. The lettuce in the wrap was brown in places. The chicken was good but this place has gone way down. Probably won't be back here again. Too bad!!!

    We stopped here for dinner on a long, long, long drive north to the Detroit area. I really wanted…read moreto get a small taste of local flavor instead of just eating fast food, and Olive was more or less on our way, so we hopped off the interstate to grab a bite. Now, from some of the pictures of the outside on Yelp, it looks like this is a standalone business with a private parking lot. That might have been the case at one time, but either the business moved or it has a second location that's freestanding and the pics are in the wrong spot, as that's not the case now. This Olive is very much in the downtown-ish area, carved into the ground floor of a much larger building. As such, parking may be a bit more challenging since there doesn't appear to be a private lot. That said, we had no trouble finding a spot on the street within a block or two. Parking was paid for with the Passport app, and it was reasonable. Of course, it might be harder during nicer weather -- not a lot of people out on a rainy evening! We walked in to find the restaurant fairly spacious but almost deserted -- only two other people waiting for to-go orders. Kind of odd for a Friday night, but again...weather. The decorations are kind of sparse but the place, including the bathroom, was clean. We ordered our meal at the counter and sat down to wait. Husband got a gyro and fries, and I got the Shish tawook platter, which came with grilled chicken, a salad, rice, and pita. We also got an order of the Greek potatoes to try out as an appetizer. Service was a little gruff at checkout but gave us a genuine, kind-hearted thank you as we left, so I guess they just had to warm up to us, lol. The potatoes came out first and were my favorite part of the meal! They were clearly cooked fresh. I'm honestly not sure what's Greek about them as they kinda reminded me of hash browns (the cubed, hash kind) with a little squeeze of lemon and maybe some herbs on top...but if it ain't broke, don't fix it! They were piping hot and very crispy. Husband and I enjoyed our meals, too. His gyro was very large and almost over-stuffed with gyro meat. The fries were medium-cut but tasted like McDonald's fries somehow...not complaining. My Shish tawook was very juicy and flavorful. I've had better rice and pita but these were both quite serviceable and I enjoyed a fairly healthy-feeling meal. Honestly, my true rating is maybe more in-line with a 3.5...but I don't have any super severe criticisms and we had a quite pleasant time overall, so I'll just round up to a 4. Seems like they do a lot of carryout / delivery business. I'd recommend this spot for a decently healthy, very fresh Mediterranean bite if you're in the area.

    I am visiting from out of town and wanted to go somewhere that was not a chain. Cafe Terra was…read morerated highly so I decided to try it. The atmosphere was great, very clean and open. The service was also very good and we never had to wait long for anything. Now the food was a different story. While everything was good, the for was absolutely amazing! I had the prime rib kabob. The meat was flavored perfectly and e rice was cooked exactly right. My last had cream chicken that was also outstanding. My favorite was the red sauce dipping sauce. Just delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area

    This was a mixed experience…read more First - there felt like some confusion about where the entrance was. I know this was a challenge because another couple rolled up after us and also said "oh we are also looking for this place!" Second - service was... not great. After being seated, we waited 15 minutes before anyone even came to take our drinks order - and this was after I stared at the bar for a long time. The tables on either sides... waited a long time for checks and table did not even get cleared for a good 30 to 40 minutes after they left. We had to request extra utensils.. the table only had a set for 2, and they sat the three of us. Towards the end, we ordered our desert to go and the check just so that we would not be stuck waiting... Third? Food is indeed amazing and delish! Their hummus was yummy. I loved my turkish soda with watermelon and strawberry. The tea was good. My husband tried the turkish tea - it was good.. my kebab meal originally did not come with rice - so i ordered a side of it. Important to mention because the rice is freakin delicious a. It was sooo aromatic - like I wantwd to eat two servings of it. Get it if you love rice. Husbands steak was a little chewier than he liked, but he agreed the rice was so good. Overall the food itself meth the expectations that other reviewers put. The service has room for improvement. I would definitely like to come back and give the last star for service..

Service was amazing from the start, super friendly, and Ahmed made the experience even better by letting us try a few samples since it was our first time. That alone stood out. My wife got the falafel bowl and I had the chicken plate with baba ghanoush and pita everything was super fresh and full of flavor. We also tried the eggplant salad and the Jerusalem salad (which had a nice spicy kick), and my wife loved both. We even ended up ordering some of the items we sampled because they were that good. The place was clean, the owners were generous, and you can tell they really care about their food and customers. Definitely coming back next time we are in the area!

We were greeted promptly and with a smile when entering! Very welcoming atmosphere. Service was great! They offered ideas and samples of their Hummus and Baba Ghanoush. Both were absolutely delicious! They make both in house. We ordered: **"Chicken Platter ($17). It came with, Chicken Shawarma, rice, Falafel, Hummus, Grape Leaves, Tzatziki Sauce, Garlic Sauce & Cucumber Salad. ***Side order of Baba Ghanoush & Pita ($7) ***Chicken Wrap ($12). It came with fries and Chicken Shawarma. It came with other toppings but our son only wanted the chicken and pita. ***Lamb Wrap ($10). It came with Fries. It had Tzatziki, Onion, Pickles, Red Cabbage, Tomatoes, & Tahini Sauce. All our food was freshly made, absolutely delicious, very flavorful, and served hot. We got our order to go. The only negative is they served the pitas in a brown paper lunch bag. The bag was not food safe since the bag was made from recycled materials. Usually places will wrap the pitas in aluminum foil or a sandwich bag, or put it on top of your food. We ended up not eating the pitas. I'm sure they tasted good since everything else did. We will definitely be back and highly recommend the place!
