What a variety of freshly made salads and usually at least 6 or more soups to choose from. This casual spot fills up at lunchtime, many people catching a bite to eat from nearby St Charles. I love the tuna noodle salad and the broccoli the best. Oh they also have sandwiches. But the salads are the bomb!

So if you're looking for cheap go somewhere else. Here the price matches the quality. Service is above average. I judge this by if I must ask for a drink refill of if the server is attentive enough to notice. They are perfect here. Checking in with you about needs without being a pain in the ass. Atmosphere is subdued light in a bar Atmosphere. Yet you can talk in a normal voice to who you're with. All in all you might be tempted to pass by "bar food" in a strip mall. But at dinner time you will often see a waiting line for a table, this should be a clue that locals will wait. The OWNER is always here and will stop by to make sure your expectations are met. He doesn't want your experience to be "just" ok.

THE best middle eastern food in Toledo!…read more Currently in Bowling Green, about 35 minutes south, any time I'm in the 419 - I try to stop here! My go-to is the chicken shawarma dinner plate. As much as I'd like to say I've tried more dishes here, I can't... because their chicken shawarma is too good to steer away! Lovely portions for the $20 price tag. I'm very hard to fill-up, but they manage to do it here. The large portion sizes is what ultimately keeps me coming back. Owner & management - please keep it up! Kind staff. Very accommodating. Treated like family while dining in. Newly remodeled dining area that's especially nice. The ONLY knock I have is a 7% fee for dining - which appears to be a new charge. Food is prepared on a paper plate and served on a plastic tray that you return when throwing away trash. The additional expense to eat in is not justifiable. There is also a 3% non-cash fee. Be prepared to spend an additional 10% menu price if you plan to dine in & pay with card. Overall, I thoroughly love this place, and will continue to eat here a LOT as long as prices remain manageable and portions stay large. I very highly recommend!

I have eaten many shawarmas, and this was by far the greasiest. The brown paper bag was completely…read moresoaked through and dripping with oil. The shawarma itself had a decent flavor; if it hadn't been for the oily mess, I would consider returning. Unfortunately, the accompanying hummus was also the thinnest I have ever had. Given the poor presentation and consistency of the food, I'm glad there are many other great options in the area for shawarmas and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Toledo doesn't have as many delis per capita as, say, NYC. But, the ones we do have are pretty…read moredamned good. At or near the top of the list is SMOKIN' OLIVE DELI!! In South Toledo at the corner of Rugby and S Detroit, lies the family owned and operated SOD. (Drive south on Rugby from Glanzman...one way street). MEAT AND POTATOES: The sandwiches are awesome. AWESOME I SAID! Although the secret ingredient may actually be love, these sammies seem to be crafted with the freshest and tastiest ingredients known to man. I'm serious. Expensive they are, but that's ok, because each sandwich (and "free" bag of chips) will probably come pretty close to filling you up. With that in mind, 14 bucks for an excellent MEAL doesn't sound so bad. To be honest, the Greek salad is not the best in town...but Greek salad isn't really the focus of a place like this, now is it. The atmosphere is friendly, comfortable, and clean. It's not fancy...it's a deli, after all. Order and pay at the counter, receive your meal, then either sit down and eat, or carry out. The people taking care of you are the owner and her kids. They're very friendly...and fast...and efficient. I must say, I'm really surprised there are (relatively) few reviews for Smokin' Olive Deli. If this place were in downtown Sylvania or downtown Perrysburg, or even in Cricket West, I'll bet there would be 100+ five star reviews! But since that's not the case, I'd whole hearted recommend that you truck on down to SoTol and show some love to SOD...in return, they'll show some serious love to your taste buds! 5 STARS!

I don't usually eat crust because it's just not worth the carbs, but this one was! Also a proper cheese-lover's amount of cheese on top! So good and baked well. I'd come back for this anytime.

We also got the brussel sprout sweet potato hash, which also comes hot and in an adorable little bowl (all their dishes are eclectic and cute). Also great, altho I added a little salt to mine. We also ordered mochas, half sweet, which were delicious. All in all, a great selection of items that I would come back and order again in a heartbeat. Service was so friendly, informative and accommodating. Everything came out quickly, there was excellent communication and they checked on us throughout. These are really kind people who definitely care about the quality of their food.

I order the Medieterranean Junk Salad with a side of rice and a chocolate chip cookie. The salad . . . so many vegetables! Two kinds of meat! Crispy pita chips! Big enough to fill me up and often leave a bit leftover. The cookies. Some of the best chocolate chip cookies I've had anywhere. They are super thin and an amazing crispy/chewy texture. They told me once that the special ingredient that makes them that way is marshmallow. If you're ordering carry-out, you might want to order on the phone rather than the website. They prioritize phone orders, or at least they did last time I asked. Online orders take longer to fill. And you get a discount for your birthday if you sign up for their texts. The few times I've eaten in, I've liked it too. Very nice ambiance. I hope they eventually will extend their hours back to the pre-pandemic hours and be open for dinner more days of the week. But if the current hours are what works for their business model, then I'm just happy to have them around. Their location in Perrysburg is also very good. I've only eaten there a few times, but I'm pretty sure it's all the same quality of food.

Didn't think to time it until I'd been seated for a bit, but I'm guessing I waited a bit over 15 minutes. Not terrible, though a little more than expected, considering the place was only half full. Fortunately, once my meal came I enjoyed it. The falafel was broken up and spread across the top so it mixed nicely with the tahini dressing. Lettuce and other veggies were crisp. I'd certainly order another, though I might wait until the warmer months. And I might order ahead too, as the sign over the counter advises that you may.
