    Arnabit
    Sylvia P.

    I was so excited to get my food tonight from the Olive Branch because I was craving the kafta kebab and they did not disappoint! I love the rice that comes with it. The salad had some pieces that I think should have been crispy, but were a little soggy so I took them out. I was really happy with the Arnabit (cauliflower) and Baba ganoush though. I just wish they did not use styrofoam for to-go.

    The best falafel ever.

    Love this place! It has the best falafel! They're crispy and well-seasoned. I've never had better. I also enjoyed the hummus and salad. It's all simple and refreshing. The venue is a little desolate if you're the only one(s) there, but the food is great. So you should visit. I'd recommend the peanut butter pie as well :)

    Omg! Amabit, cauliflower with tahini sauce

There's ample parking in front of the building. The restrooms are handicap, accessible The atmosphere is decorated with a beautiful Mediterranean theme, florals , wood themed throughout , greenery, and plants. Great for date night as well. Greeted via a wonderful gentleman Fred , who is also the owner of Mediterranean Grill. He seated us immediately. He took our order we decided to go with a chicken Shawarma wrap And lamb Shawar. Both had a beautiful presentation. We ordered a side dish of grape leaves and a hummus dip. The dip was amazing, smooth and creamy and flavorful, and the grape leaves had just the right touch of flavor, rolled to perfection. The chicken Shawarma was lightly seasoned with a garlic cream sauce. The lamb Shawarma was equally just as good and flavorful. The dessert was a Osmayli - creamy and delicious, not too heavy . The prices are reasonable. When I visit Bethlehem Pennsylvania again I would definitely stop by here and if you are here, I say stop by give it a try you will not be disappointed and you will thank me later Say hello to Fred

Food that's absolutely a must order include the hummus platter, with extraordinary fresh bread. and the baklava. Both are epic! I had the lunch special, which was lamb kebabs with white rice. Lamb was ok but not remarkably spiced nor that tender. But it was good. The rice was a bit mushy and there was little to no dressing on the salad nor the red cabbage on the dish. Would have loved to have had something more like rice pilaf. Requested some white yogurt dressing on the side and this brought it together. I don't think one can judge a place based on the lunch special so I will definitely be returning to try more of their entrées that they're known for. The place was packed so clearly locals know this is a good place to go!

    Once upon a time Aladdin was the best (basically only) Middle Eastern restaurant in the area, but…read moretimes have changed, and now there are just too many options available to stay locked in and loyal to this place. The most recent experience we had there was a huge disappointment. Their prices went too high now, which is not unique to them, but most restaurants in this area. The big problem is the service, as usual. This is very much a family operation so the wait staff, meaning primarily the 2 daughters of the owners, do not care about the customers , and are not concerned with any criticism or complaints a customer might make. Me and my wife have never complained, but this will be our last time there, unless we hear about changes being made there. The food has gotten somewhat less delicious, but the food was always very good. The decorum has not updated nor changed in years and the hard wood booths and chairs are just super uncomfortable. There is no accessibility and they act sorta resentful toward those who are somewhat handicapped.

Everything was fresh, well cooked, flavorful, and served in massive portions. The fattoush was a beautiful massive boat, and the dressing with it had a lovely vinegar bite and the pomegranate pop in the dressing was so good, both visually and taste wise. The coffee was great, fresh made with deep flavor. My friend loved the shrimp, they were juicy and flavorful. They also came with pita, rice, and labneh. The kibbe were fried perfectly, and juicy and well spiced inside. I love that they were small instead of two huge ones like I sometimes see. The pistachio mafrooka was something I had never tried and oh my god, it was amazing. A little disk on the bottom of pistacho and maybe honey? Nice and sticky and baklava adjacent minus the phyllo. Topped with a scoop of a thick cream, with a cheesecake vibe but a little more sour. Then topped with pistachio. It also came with all three pieces which were huge. The service was quick and friendly as well. They also have hookah, which they asked if we wanted to do when we arrived. We didn't opt to, but if that's your jam, stop by! I absolutely recommend coming by for the food though!

The buffet started about 30 minutes later than what we later found was listed on their Facebook page, and the staff didn't seem to know what would be served, so we could just move forward with our entrée. The drinks were fresh, and the food was clearly made fresh too, but having eaten Middle Eastern food in Iraq and Turkey, I was hoping for a bit more spice and depth. The service could definitely improve -- especially communication and friendliness. The young lady serving us came off standoffish, while the younger gentleman who seated us was kind and welcoming but seemed out of the loop. We live about 30 minutes away up on Mt. Bethel and had lost power earlier that day, so we were dressed more for warmth after trick-or-treating -- maybe that's why we felt like we weren't being fully "trusted" customers. We spent almost $200.00 with tip for 4 people. Prices are great! That was 2 buffets, 2 kids meals, a starter and two entrées and 6 drinks. Cool vibe overall, live DJ, and lots of potential.
