Well we were provided a meal during my wife's shiva period observed as a Jewish person after the death of a loved one. She had the amazingly delicious grilled salmon with vegetables and a stupendous feta tomato salad. Someone had the chicken gyro platter who obviously isn't kosher but celebrated its mostly prepared grilled chicken with seasoned French fries All good despite takeout was amazingly delicious We did not eat in the restaurant or had table side service No matter the food was great read more

I made res for 730 on a Saturday night. When we got there it was a full house. Instead of waiting to find us a table for 2, the host seated us immediately at a table for 4. The server is actually from Greece and was very knowledgeable in all aspects of Greek cuisine. As always the food was excellent and always served piping hot. I wish I remembered the server because he was incredible. Remember it's byob so grab a good bottle of wine or drink of your choice. Sit back and enjoy true Greek cuisine. read more

Food was decent so I'm giving it 2 stars.. but everything was severely overpriced, especially the mixed grill. Would not go again. Photos make the food actually seem bigger than in person. Ordered takeout. read more

I dined here for a private event and am still thinking about the meal we had. From the dips to the entrees to the dessert, we were extremely pleased and am already looking forward to coming back. The portions were generous and the service was attentive. The dessert in particular (some sort of orange phyllo cake) was amazing. The vibes are also modern and romantic, but still somewhat casual. This place was definitely a surprising find in an unassuming strip mall. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and we finally made it for lunch. There were no diners when we got there on a rainy Friday ... but 4 other tables and 1 takeout order all came in within minutes. You would have thought the one waiter doing everything would have been overwhelmed ... but he was absolutely awesome and super attentive to everyone. For appetizers, we ordered the Eggplant Salad and the Spanakopita (spinach pie). They were a good start to our meal. For our entrees, we had the Gyro Platter ($14) and the Chicken Souvlaki Sandwich ($12) ... both came with a large portion of Greek Fries on the side. The platter had an ample amount of gyro meat along with a pita, lettuce, tomato, onion and tzatziki ... all very tasty. The sandwich was also good ... but a bit on the smaller side. So we'd probably go with platters to wrap our own next time ... hopefully some time soon! read more

The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We went for lunch and really enjoyed it.

Excellent service, really fresh and flavorful, and more than the usual Greek dishes. Highly recommend! The special orange infused cake was spectacular! read more

One of the worst meals I've had in a while. $70 for takeout for 2. Left a 20% tip. 3% surcharge for use of credit card. For real. Received: - overcooked little bits of chicken and 1 pita in the gyro. Threw it out. The French fries were good. The lettuce that came with it was soaked through with oil and vinegar. Threw it out. - 5 total shrimp in the shrimp appetizer which was around $20. They were overcooked. Nothing at all with it except 1 piece of lemon. Ordered a side of fries. They were good. I have had better meals in train stations at closing time. The price was outrageous for what little we got. The Black Olive was never cheap, but it was good and the value was acceptable. Not any more. read more

Will not be returning! Went for dinner with a party of 6, and the ambiance was nice but that was about it. Service was okay, and the online menu did not match the prices on site. I ordered the 3 dip spread with hummus, tyrokafteri, and melitzanosalata for $21 ($19 online). Decent portion and tasted good, besides the melitz which was off. HOWEVER, I ordered this with the intention of taking leftovers, as I wasn't very hungry and didn't want a full meal. The server offered to wrap my dish, and when it came back, this is what he gave me!!! There were full PILES left of each dip on my plate, but he put a tablespoon of each into little cups and called it a day. I wanted to ask "where are the rest of my leftovers???", but did not want to make a fuss in front of my group, since they were either discarded or eaten already anyway. For $21, I expected to receive ALL of my leftover food in my to-go box, but this is what I got. I would name the server, but he didn't even introduce himself! Partly my fault for trusting someone else to box my food, but I did not think it would be an issue at this type of restaurant. I was mistaken read more

Black Olive - A scam - Greek Near Me - Voorhees, New Jersey

My friend and I had a marvelous dinner Saturday night. The service, by Evan, was outstanding. The food delightful. As we walked to the car, my friend fell to the ground. I ran back into the restaurant and asked if someone could come and help her off the ground. The hostess, and two waiters, one being Evan, ran out to help. She and I were so thankful for their help. I'd give them an A+ rating for their kindness in helping and of course the food! read more

A couple of friends and I got together on a Thursday night for dinner here. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Our server, (I'm sorry I can't recall his name,) went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He was patient and answered all of our questions. The restaurant itself was lovely. It was elegant and understated. We were there during cold snap, but the building was the perfect temperature. That's saying something. On to the food. What can I say? Sublime! We all ordered different dishes with appetizers and deserts. Everything was perfect. I ordered my lamb rare, and came to me as ordered. Since I have moved to the east coast, this is the first time I have received my meat at the requested level. It was delicious. The Black olive is a little pricey, but what a great place for a special occasion! I'm coming here for my birthday dinner this month! read more

Had a very lackluster lunch here. We shared a trio of decent dips - the hummus and eggplant were pretty good, the tzatziki was average. The mains were very disappointing. Chicken souvlaki was tough and flavorless. It desperately needed seasoning and maybe some time in a marinade to tenderize it. The lamb gyro was also under seasoned. The pork souvlaki was just OK. Service was pleasant, at least. I won't rush to return here. Meh. read more

Everything here is delicious! The service is excellent . And my favorite part of dinner here is the dessert. read more

Black Olive - Menu - Greek Near Me - Voorhees, New Jersey

This is our favorite Greek restaurant in the area. We love the Octopus, Saganaki, Dolmades & Black Olive chip appetizers. We also enjoyed the Hummus & Tzatziki. For dinner we love the Mousaka, Gyro platter, Mixed Grill, Chicken Corfu and Pork Chop. Last night, I loved the Catch of the day special. It was Grouper in a white wine butter sauce with Asparagus (we added lemon potatoes too). Dinners come with a salad. For dessert, we always order the Blueberry Gliko and last night they had a Ekmek Kataifi. Both were excellent. It's a BYOB. Ashley and Zach are excellent servers. read more

Knocking off two stars because we went to pick up a takeout order last night and the male server who helped us had his mask down and then put it up barely halfway when he brought his out our bag. We seriously considered throwing out the food we paid for because the fact that he emerged from the kitchen when we came in with his mask DOWN was pretty unsettling. Though we do love the food here, I really disappointedly think this will be the last time we will get food from here. read more

So if you're looking for the best Greek restaurant in the Philadelphia area, I strongly suggest Black Olive in Voorhees, New jersey. The owners have an absolute passion for recreating the best they grew up with, and it shows on every plate. And the service matches the food. First class all the way. Thank you Yiota Delimaris and your husband Pete for making us feel like we were sitting by the Aegean Sea at a taverna. read more

BE CAREFUL NEW OWNERS & PRICES ARE TWICE AS HIGH!!! My mother and i came in for lunch, and noticed that the menu had changed apparently there's no more lunch menu-only extremely expensive dishes! We had an appetizer and salad and two desserts and the total was 71$ (not including tip) we asked for a side of feta cheese and we were charged 12$ for 1 small square of cheese!!! How can this restaurant openly scam you like this!? And, please beware the food has absolutely no flavor whatsoever, and you'll be sorry when you get the bill too! Our server was super pushy trying to upsell the entrees and kept coming to our table and bothering us. We just wanted to enjoy our appetizers and salad and she kept pushing other dishes for us to order... I've never felt so uncomfortable eating at a restaurant, where the server just stands there, and watches us like a hawk. The place was empty and I can definitely see why.... Will not be returning, and i recommend going elsewhere- if you want good authentic greek food. Cause this place is no longer what it used to be, sadly they will eventually sabotage themselves by ripping off the community... read more

Black Olive - check out the open food cost for 1 small piece of cheese - Greek Near Me - Voorhees, New Jersey

First time here since the renovation and new ownership took over. The renovation looks fantastic. We were celebrating a birthday and they had an alcove where we were seated. The food was still as great as before (unsure if they changed chefs or if it's the same). The hostess and waiters were fantastic under the circumstances - we were a party of 21 and they had other customers in the restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Really, really good. Had the braised lamb and chicken with mushroom rossotto i believe. They did a fantastic job, food that makes you feel great after eating it. Maybe my favorite place in South Jersey, if cost was no issue id eat there everyday read more

Our to go order dinner order was filling very flavorful and delicious. Ordered a variety of different things and was satisfied with all. The service was top notch and couldn't be more welcoming. Wanted to order a Turkish coffee but was short on funds and they were generous enough to give me a complimentary Turkish coffee which really hit the spot and was so good. I will for sure be back and have nothing but good things to say to everyone about the incredible food and service at the Black Olive In Voorhees sorry there are no photos we were so hungry we just started eating ASAP read more

When dining in, the experience is great. I was worried about the different one star reviews, but the strange complaints about higher prices than before (come on people, the market raised prices anywhere, why complain about $2). Then there some complaints about the portions. What are you? A pig? Why do you need huge portion? Go to Costco to buy cheap food. The appetizers are wonderful and the service is amazing. For Greek people, the authentic music is a win. read more

Never had Ben here prior. A little nervous as 1 of us really doesn't like spicy or is adventurous. We were so very pleasantly surprised. We loved everything. Can't wait to return. read more

We came here on a whim, adterya movie. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is observing COVID safety measures, and all employees were masked. Complimentary olives, bread and oil for dipping were served with our drinks. He ordered the gyro platter, with meat and fries well done. I ordered Chicken Mavrodaphne, which came with lemon potatoes and spinach/orzo pilaf. It was all delicious. Portions large enough to share, even some left over for tomorrow. We will be back! read more

We hadn't ordered food from this place since the new owners took over. I wanted take-out, was too late to order from the lunch menu, but since it was for a birthday dinner I decided to suck it up and pay big bucks for what I *assumed* would be larger portions of tasty foods than a lunch order. The spanikopita cost $19 and was about 4"x4". The moussaka was fairly tasty, but at $26 it should have been a larger portion. Calamari was $19 for a very small portion, which might have been OK except for the fact that about 20% was inedible. I've never had calamari that tasted like shrimp shells before, but I literally couldn't chew many of the leather-like pieces and had to spit them out. The melitzanosalata was some weird not-quite-cooked eggplant chopped up into a kind of salsa. Nothing like any I ever had before, I ate one tablespoon and threw the rest out. The chicken souvlaki pita sandwich was tasty but for $18 it should have included more than a dozen fries. In the end I spent $100 for less than $25 of edible food. I will never, ever, ever buy "food" from this place again. Very disappointing. #Sad read more

This is the biggest RIP OFF ever!! We paid $15 for this small portion of Octopus. I called them to ask if there was a mistake and the guy told me unfortunately he gets many complaints but there is nothing he can do. The owner will not give you your money back and refuses to change the portion size. This owner has the worst customer service ever!!! In addition we got the gyro sandwich delivered instead of the plate and we paid the price for the plate. They also would not refund me the money that we overpaid. Very disappointed!!! read more

Black Olive - Octopus dish that cost me $15. Biggest ripoff ever! - Greek Near Me - Voorhees, New Jersey

I like this place. The food is delicious and healthy. The staff are professional and attentive to patrons. They are knowledgeable about the cuisine and the preparation of the specials. The menu is a few things that are made to perfection. The green salad was refreshing prior to the braised lamb I had to have on easter. We love the grilled shrimp, perfectly marinated in EVOO and garlic n herbs. When you get sick of pizza and chinese and italian foods in the area, try this place out, step out of your comfort zone and enjoy a really good meal that is both delicious and healthy. We have had the spanakopita also and the eggplant meal with beschamel cream, and even the salmon- all very good...........and don't let me tell you about the deserts made with custard and drizzled in lemon/honey -I forget the greek name but its on the menu-delish. read more

I was a little disappointed in our meal at the Black Olive. It might have been I was expecting too much from all of the excellent reviews. I will give it another try, but based on my recent trip the Black Olive was good but not great. The place is really nice inside now. This is the second or third restaurant that has been in this location. We were there on a Saturday night and they were pretty much full. The service was attentive and efficient. The food came pretty quickly also. We started with the Hummus appetizer. This was not bad but not anything awesome either. It did taste fresh. I had the Moussaka , a dish I order at almost every Greek or Turkish restaurant I try. The Black Olive's was good but not great, it just tasted a bit bland for me. My daughter had a special with lamb over pasta in a gravy sauce. The lamb was super tender but again the whole dish seemed to lack flavor and seasoning. I enjoy Greek food and I will give the Black Olive another try soon. read more

Next to Kuzzina's (no longer in business) this is one of the few Greek places you kind find in the Cherry Hill area. They offer the classic gyro platter which I always order. Nice size portions and decently priced. They give you complimentary dipping oil, but the amount they provide you is so small so you always have to ask for more Service is consistently slow-- often find myself needing a refill but waiting to find the server. read more

This place is beautiful and the service is expensive. I came in with a friend and she had been to Greece. She said all the good with tried transported her back to one of her favorite vacations in the Greek Islands! She said the food was the same and so wonderful! We both had the spankopita, moussaka, and baklava. I had the chicken avgolemon soup as well. All dishes were prepared well and so highly recommended. She said we found our new baklava place! I'm so excited to bring others here. read more

Weekend brunch and you're out of pastichio? So disappointing that such a popular and well-known Greek dish wouldn't be available. Maybe I could understand at dinner time after a crowd might have wiped you out, but this was still fairly early in the day and few people seated. Anyway, I got over myself and opted instead for a pork souvlaki while my dining partner opted for a gyro. The difference between the two dishes were a little surprising; mine came with just a few small chunks of pork while her gyro was overloaded with lamb meat. However, she asked for no onion, which they ignored, and she resorted to picking them all out instead of waiting for a new sandwich to be made. The mountain of fries were delicious - I almost want to say there were too many fries, but I might be accused of being ungrateful. Service was a bit slow with me almost ready to flag down somebody, anybody, after my drink sat empty for awhile. read more

I have given this restaurant a good review recently. However I was there again recently. I feel that they are trying to save money by giving less. Ordered the Gyro platter. Hardly any fries and the meat was all curled and a good deal less then previous visits. The platter is about 24.00 and in the past I would have leftovers. Not this visit. For what they give you the price is too high read more
