The dip trio ((Venus spread, smokey eggplant, and taramosalata) all had great contrasting flavors! The taramosalata was the best!
Blake Z.

After a dissapointing visit to the Great Greek Mediterranean; my family and I decided to make a comeback to our newly discovered spot the Oliv Pit. I've already done a review on this place before and I'll get out the way that saying this place was great. But, there were 2 things worth noting for this update. 1) my family has actually been here already 5 times (including this one) which says a lot about the consistency here! And 2) we tried some different dishes worth noting below! The chicken pita wrap was saucy, had tender strips of chicken breast, and fresh veggies! Falafel wrap tasted homemade; instead of lead sinkers, these balls were airy and not greasy - yum! The gyro platter was awesome - gyro wasn't overly tough, and had aromatic flavors! Don't skip out on getting for a $1 more the greek salad side; definitely worth it! Overall, I still can't recommend this spot enough. Rating still reigns Supreme- 5/5!

Very cozy place - very friendly just like home. Lamb chop with rice and greek salad . Some of the deserts are home made.

Horiatiki salad

After dragging ourselves around in 95+ degree heat, lunch needed to be light, fast, and not smothered in melted cheese or regret. Casual Greek at OLIV PIT in Boca it was. Rachel went with the spinach pie lunch special, which was upgraded with a beet salad and a side of tzatziki. The spiral-shaped spanakopita looked gorgeous--golden and crisp on the outside--but inside, it leaned more pastry than spinach, was undercooked and was underfilled. The beet salad was fresh and tangy with a little feta crumble, and the tzatziki had good herbal flavor. I mentioned to the owner on the way out that a traditional layered version might yield a better spinach-to-phyllo ratio and more consistent cooked result. She didn't disagree. Mom had the grilled chicken wrap with fries, which was fresh and well put together, though the heat and the day's appointments had understandably dulled everyone's appetite. I ordered the keftedes (Greek meatball) wrap with a side of lemon potatoes, and it was the standout. The meatballs had great seasoning and texture, the tzatziki was properly garlicky, and the wrap was packed with fresh tomato, red onion, and herbs. The potatoes were soft, lemony, and generously dusted with oregano and parsley--classic, no notes. Service was quick, portions satisfying, and the lunch specials are a solid value. Would definitely return--especially for those meatballs.

Updating my last review, I've never been disappointed here. Great authentic Greek food, from the avgolemono to the gyro to the pasticcio, and don't forget the beet salad with extra feta, nothing was less that great, and the service was awesome! A must go restaurant!

Pastachio with Lemon Potatoes

The food was amazing and the service was even better! Our waiter was so friendly and so refreshing. I got the pastachio with lemon potatoes and it was delicious.

What a fabulous lunch experience we had here. For some reason, I had thought this was one of those fast-food bowl mediterranean places, so I was extra happy to find out it was a regular restaurant when we stopped by. I'm not a big fan of bowls where everything is mushed together. The setting reminded me of a European cafe. The walls are decorated with cooking utensils. And the light fixtures are cheese graters over the light bulbs. Quite unique. They have their regular menu as well as a blackboard out front that lists lunch specials. We looked through both and a number of items appealed. My husband wasn't that hungry, so he opted for one of their lunch specials and I chose an appetizer. He got their soup and salad. The soup was the Greek lemon avgolemono soup (sorry about the spelling). It was a bowl full of lemony chicken broth with bits of chicken and rice. For a salad, he upgraded to their village salad -- that's the one without the lettuce. I think it was only $1.50 more to upgrade. The salad was crispy and freshly made. It was in a light dressing. A nice sized wedge of feta cheese rested on top. I got to have some of his salad. And I shared my appetizer of Greek style smelts with him. The small fried fish were perfectly cooked and crispy. There were two dipping sauces -- I used the mustard based one along with a squeeze of fresh lime. You don't find these on a menu that often or if you do, the fish are large and bony. These were delicious. For dessert, he had a slice of galaktoboureko. It's one of his favorites. He liked the middle layer of custard filling. I like the outside filo dough with the sweet syrup (I stole a few bites). I definitely want to come back here to try more of their menu. Loved the setting and the food. And to me, it's worth the drive even if I'm not in the area.

Falafel

TL:DR: I do Not recommend this place due to poor quality food and even worse customer service. Avoid...Plenty of other great Mediterranean places around. ---- This used to be our go to place for dinner with the family as we love to support family owned businesses. The food a year ago was way better and the service was so nice and sweet and accommodating. Over the years this establishment has deteriorated. We were excited to eat here one evening and arrived to a half empty restaurant on a Saturday night and chose to sit outside. My brother and I arrived first and waited for our mother to arrive. We sat down and noticed our table was dim lit because of a big umbrella open and kindly asked to be moved to a table nearby. Our server, a bearded bald man, said grumpily "I have to go inside and see if we are expecting anyone first" he came back and said they were and we weren't able to move to any other table. Meanwhile the place remained half empty and the table we wanted remained unoccupied the remainder of our stay. While waiting for our third guest we were hungry and decided to put in an appetizer of our favorite falafel, some drinks and a water with no ice. My glass of wine arrives after a couple minutes. After a few minutes the falafel came and after tasting it, we realized this isn't the falafel they normally serve. It's hard flaky, devoid of flavor and stale. We thought perhaps some tahini would make it easier to go down so we requested this from the server. We wait unable to eat the remaining 2 falafel as they didn't taste good at all for the tahini to arrive. Meanwhile, I did not get the water with no ice and had to flag someone else to get it for me as our server was not around. We wait 10 mins until we decided to flag him down finally and remind him. Please keep in mind the restaurant is not busy tonight. He said oh! And goes to the kitchen for a few minutes and brings out the tahini. At this point, our falafel gets cold and we dont like it anyways so we kindly tell him and he says unfortunately there is nothing we can do because you ate 2 of them. We kindly explain to him that we were hungry and waiting for you and they were not good and you took long to get the tahini. He again replies sorry but we cant do anything because you at 2 of the 4 already. I kindly ask him to then charge us for the 2 and make another batch for us. And he says we cannot do that because this is the falafel we always make. So my brother says thanks we'll get the check please. The check comes out and he charges us for everything including the tahini. We did not touch the tahini. My brother goes inside and tries to speak with the owner who used to be nice and understanding and says you come to eat not to worry about the time, dismisses us and tells the server to just charge me for my wine ($13) which I only drank half of. We give them $15 cash and left. And I wish I didnt give them anything because I left with such a bitter taste in my mouth. The server was so rude! Was not friendly or open or welcoming did not take care of his guests and the owner doesnt have a clue about how to resolve customer service issues and now I will never go back or recommend that place again. It's a pitty, oliv pitty because you used to be great and now they will continue to loose valuable reliable customers until they work on improving their food and their attitude. My brother works in the food industry and is a generous customer and tipper and knows how hard it can be to be a server and really cuts people slack and he even was upset about the whole ordeal. Im a foodie and love family owned restaurants and would rave about this place but unfortunately they do not deserve such treatment anymore.

Grilled spiced mushrooms

Vegan delight!! Grilled a veggie wrap with a father in Plymouth, grilled mushrooms, beautifully spaced. Baba ghanoush and a true falafel. Lovely, quiet outdoor eating too

We sat inside, and while it was a little tight, it felt cozy and welcoming. They also have a patio area with lights and heaters that looked beautiful and very inviting. The service was okay overall. Everything came out correctly, but when it was time for the checks, they weren't split. Since we were a party of six, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. I would definitely go back and try more. I shared the egg plant hummus with the warm pita bread, the fig and goat cheese pizza, so much flavor, the shiitake dumplings were so good, the amount of mushroom to dumpling was great, the peanut sauce was very light and delicious. The beef arayes was ok, the cumin was a little much for me.
