My Albanian wife and I loved our lunch experience here. It was our first time. 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. read more

An absolutely authentic and excellent restaurant! The octopus is excellent and so is the baba ganoush. Also the gyros and everything else. Great service and overall a first rate experience. One of the best Greek/Turkish menu meals I've had in the US. 5 stars! read more

Cute Mediterranean restaurant in Warrington, unassuming from the outside but gorgeous decor inside. The food was delicious and hearty, the fries were so crispy, the arancini was not overly greasy as it sometimes can be, the moussaka was soo good. Definitely on the pricier side of restaurants in warrington though read more

This place does have good food at a reasonable price; this place is at an upper scale. This place is not a regular diner, if that's what you were expecting. We felt severely underdressed as we tried to squeeze in without reservation. I would come back with my wife again read more

Hello from Wayne? NJ. I happened to yelp this restaurant and saw all the incredible reviews and we decided to try it. OMG what a find! The inside of the restaurant is decorated beautifully and is very cozy. The owner walks around and serves as well as takes orders. The food is superb. It's so tasty and fresh! Everyone that works there is so kind. I cannot express enough what a gem this place is! You must try It. It's BYOB and the prices are reasonable for the dishes. Bon Appetite to all! read more

Blue Olive has been on my list for quite some time. Glowing reviews in company of mine are right: this is a hidden gem of a Greek restaurant. We started with a cold appetizer trio. We never had Caponata before and it was unlike anything we had ever tasted. The pita was warmed and charred over the grill. Our entrees were outstanding. Generous portions cooked perfectly. The dessert was also perfection. The owner is very attentive and the staff is too. It's a small place with very few tables. The intimate environment is calming and elegant. We cannot wait to come back! read more

This place is a hidden gem. My wife & I stopped in for lunch today and we were blown away. The service was amazing and they were there whenever we needed them. The food made me dance in my chair. As we drove away, we discussed what we would get next time. That's how you know a place is great! read more

Rarely does one get to discover and delight in brand new epicurean experiences, as we did today at Blue Olive. We had a cream of chestnut soup, which was delicious, delicately umami, and just wonderful! The grilled artichokes, grilled calamari tubes, grilled octopus and flambéed halloumi were so umami we had to eat them slowly and deliberately. Huge wow! It's the closest experience I've had to actually traveling to Greece, but right here in PA. Then the flourless chocolate cake... silky and unctuous. The service was very friendly, cordial, and helpful (so hard to decide amongst all the choices!). Definitely a must place to visit! read more

Food was excellent!!! Service top notch. Small intimate place worth seeking out. Had a late lunch...at 4, and they were very accommodating

Our first time at Blue Olive was to celebrate a birthday and it didn't disappoint. 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. read more

Service good. Space not that big. Food was average. The Muhammara dish was little too sweet to my palate. In the main dish the kabob was tasty and juicy but the chicken pieces and the rice lacked flavor and for the price ($32) the portion seemed somewhat less . The pistachio cake was good. Staff very pleasant . read more

I have had such delicious meals here! My favorite is the lamb with fruit, I forget what it is called, but it melts in your mouth. My granddaughter got a filo pastry filled with chicken and there was enough for 2 more meals. The flaming cheese is fun, too. We have had just about every appetizer there and they are all delicious. read more

This place is great. Our fourth time here! I had the grilled artichoke hearts with the 5 course meze cold. I loved every bite. It was a ton of food and I ended up taking most of it home. I can't wait for lunch tomorrow and the next day. My co-eaters had the tagine and the lamb ossa buca and each said they were fantastic. We will be back. read more

Great service , delicious food ! Relaxing ambiance , definitely coming back ! Located in Warrington area , love it ! read more

Excellent food compared to the one that we got 6 entrees and all of them excellent, apps were amazing too!

Spot on flavors, perfect textures, professional presentation, and attentive service makes me wish I lived closer. The space is well appointed but I know the Exec wishes he had more room because the 10 tables are hardly enough for the weekdays... good luck getting a meal time table on the weekends. Spot-on 9.5 out of 10 for me. read more

Grilled octopus, shawarma and kebobs were delectable. Good sized portions, will be back. read more

This was our first visit. The space is lovely and the service was attentive. We enjoyed the 3 cold appetizers that we tried. But the hot dishes were just okay. Spanikopita should always be crisp, and ours wasn't. read more

Delicious well prepared food! Quiet ambience. Pleasant staff. I want to return soon! I was there for lunch and would to have dinner next.

WOW!! Ardana who? This place is phenomenal. We decided to skip our normal pizza Friday and order Greek food. We ordered: -chicken kabobs -Kofta -Falofal -salad Everything was Fantastic. We will be ordering again in the very near future. read more

Wow, wow, wow. Where to for lunch after a busy day at museums? I asked my dining partner to look up nearby lunch spots that didn't have many reviews, but had tons of mostly 5-stars - that's my go to algorithm when looking around an area I don't know well. She found this place and am so happy we decided to come over. It's a small restaurant with just one gentleman running the front of house. He was very kind and generous - when we still had a little bit of hummus left, we ordered an extra pita to finish it up.... and when he saw now we had pita left but no hummus, he brought back another fat spoonful so we could finish it off. That pita was divine - light and moist and fluffy. I loved my beef kofta combo platter. I could have slurped up all that tzatziki sauce. And OMG that rice - so full of flavor and so perfect. My only minor minor complaint is that the water glasses were so small - I drink a lot of water so I felt bad having to flag this gentleman down a few times for refills. If you are a local, come and support this place. It's really terrific. read more

The absolute best falafels in PA! I'm from NYC and always ate at Mamoun's Falafel on Macdugal St. I never thought any other falafel would compare, but Blue Olive's definitely does! Very nice staff, as well. read more

We won't be back. Placed a large loud fan right next to me. While waiting 30 minutes after hummus for our entrees we were charged for more bread. Sauce was cooked down so long it was pure salt. Large party next to us arrived after us and ate before us. I worked years in a respected Middle Eastern restaurant. This didn't measure up in any way. read more

Blue Olive is one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. We've been going since they opened and it's become a regular go-to. The food is consistently fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. The grilled artichokes are a favorite, and the lamb osso buco is always a hit. We love that it's BYOB and just a few minutes from home. The service is warm and welcoming, and we even spent New Year's Eve there while our kitchen was under renovation. It's the kind of place where you always feel comfortable and know the meal will be good. Last time I visited, I had the stuffed eggplant special and it was amazing. An easy choice every time. read more

My wife and I enjoyed a delicious marinated lamb platter for lunch in a bright cheerful setting. The food portion was generous for the price, and beautifully plated. We will be back. read more

An amazing, exceptional tasty experience all around. So worth the 40 minute drive both ways. We arrived by 5:30, place was empty, we were concerned. So odd for a cold Saturday night, but as soon as we got started the restaurant slowly and progressively filled up. The manager/host was as friendly and inviting as possible, he sat us, provided menus and explained the evenings specials. We asked a few opening questions and were ready to start placing our order. Opening with the spanakopita and special appetizer, the grilled Spanish octopus over arugula with lemon slice. The spanakopita was flaky and melted in your mouth delicious. The grilled octopus was tender, flavorful and also melted in your mouth. Off to a strong tasty start. For our entrees, my wife lover her beef kofta dish, I did taste it, had a nice little kick of spice. For me, the Lamb Osso-Buco was a winner. First off, the plating presentation was a thing of art, The lamb shank was incredible. The melt melted off the bone, with a fork, no knife, tender as could be. And the couscous had a nice slight sweetness to it. Excellence dishes. Love that it's BYOB and a parking lot. We'll be back for sure. See my dinner pics, don't blame me if you drool on your smartphone. read more

Food was delicious. Owner is so hospitable. ! Will def return. Menu has something for everyone.

Service was excellent and food was even better. We got mixed grill and spanakopita. We recommend!

Wow! This was probably one of my favorite restaurants! I loved the cozy atmosphere and the service of feeling welcome right when you walk in. Amir, our server, was so sweet and offered us hummus on the house for our first time there! He was knowledgeable about gluten and double checked with the chef. The octopus was a special so we started with that. Both the hummus and octopus were so good! Good perfectly. For our mains we did the chicken thighs and the beef kefta kabob. Both SOO good!! Highly recommend trying this restaurant for a family dinner, date night, or girls night out! It's also BYOB which we will definitely do for next time ! Can't wait to go back. Very impressed !! read more

Split a falafel appetizer and chicken kabob entree with my daughter mid afternoon. We both enjoyed it. She raved about the garlic aioli with the kabob! Pretty, clean place. Nice service read more

We ordered takeout for lunch, probably won't do that again. First, we both had the falafel sandwiches, very disappointed the falafel weren't crispy balls rather a smashed flat thing I expected much better. We also ordered French fries they were soggy. No plans for returning, there are just too many places that have good falafel. read more

Outstanding Mediterranean cuisine. Meals were nicely prepared and attractively presented. Service was excellent
