There fountain soda fountain has Arizona fruit punch and jurritios orange soda, something to mention since never say those as fountain drinks. Pretty straightforward menu, but like they have make your own option. The beef strips were good with maid your own, but the grilled chicken was kind of dry in my opinion. Rice was amazing though. Also the tzatziki sauce, was the best, definitely freshly made and with minced dill in it , rather than just mixed cucumbers, appreciate the extra effort. read more

If you're in Middletown and looking for a fresh, flavorful, and filling vegetarian option, Olive Falafel delivers in a big way--especially with their falafel over rice with salad bowl. I recently tried it and was seriously impressed. The falafel themselves are perfectly crispy on the outside with a warm, herby, tender center--clearly made fresh and not from a mix. They're packed with flavor but not overly greasy, which is a huge plus. The basmati rice underneath is light, fragrant, and the perfect base for soaking up the rich, creamy tzatziki and tahini sauces they provide. The Greek-style salad on the side is super fresh, with crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, and a tangy vinaigrette that balances everything out. What really stood out to me was the portion size--you definitely get your money's worth. It's the kind of meal that leaves you full but not heavy. The staff were also friendly and quick, making the experience feel casual yet thoughtful. If you're looking for a satisfying vegetarian meal or just want something different from the usual takeout fare, this bowl is a must-try. read more

Olive Falafel - Falafel (3) Basmati Rice Greek Salad Tzatziki Bowl Cucumber Tomato Onions - Mediterranean Near Me - Middletown, New York

Outstanding service! Outstanding meal! Delicious and affordable. More importantly, this is an unashamedly Christian environment where Praise and Worship music is played softly in background, and Inspired Godly messages are everywhere. I was so pleased to sit and enjoy a great meal with my heart and soul being uplifted and encouraged as I ate. Definitely give this place a visit! You won't be disappointed. read more

Chose to sit outside as it was hot in the restaurant... there were many roaches near the trash outside. Food was otherwise good but that needs to change, especially in a place with outdoor seating not 6 feet away from the trash. read more

The falafel are good. Very crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside. I also recommend the spanakopita- very flaky and flavorful. The falafel salad is a strange combination of raw broccoli and canned jalapeños, wasn't crazy about it. The chicken shawarma is really disappointing though. Its really just grilled chicken strips. Shawarma is supposed to be seasoned and bursting with flavor and saucy, but the one here is just dry grilled chicken strips over dry yellow rice with dry pita pieces. I also do not recommend the Greek fries with gyro. $10 for a side of fries with some old crusty and flavorless mystery meat strips sprinkled on top, with a ton of feta cheese to make it sickeningly soggy. Who's idea was it? The service is fine, when I've gone the cashiers have been cordial and efficient. One thing I will say is that the payment system automatically asks for a 15-20% tip, even though there is no tableside service. I'm fine with tipping 20% but that amount is usually for servers who get paid under minimum wage, not cashiers who get at least minimum, especially not when I'm picking up my own food. The ambiance is not great. Old plastic outside tables with some chairs that seem to have been in an office in a past life, and the place really smells strongly of frying oil so I wouldn't want to spend more than a minute inside. Bright overhead fluorescent lights also kill the mood. In general for a takeout spot I think the prices are too expensive. I spent about $55 on a salad, a plate of rice and chicken strips, a side of fries and a side of spanakopita. No drinks, no delivery. read more

It's okay. Diner Greek food is better. Small and has some random food items like chipotle chicken sandwiches, quesadillas , burgers ... My friends and I shared an olive sample platter, a custom bowl and a schwarma sandwich. The chicken I was very dry. The falafel was very small and dry. The tzatziki sauce was good. The portions are very small compared to other halal and Greek places- the packing appears large but is shallow. Also the pita bread is in the bowl, which gets soggy and takes up space. read more

Great food with very friendly people in a cozy strip mall. If you want authentic falafel hummus stop by and support this local restaurant. read more

The Quick: awesome local spot with fresh food, big portions, friendly staff and very moderate prices. Quick, easy, and delicious.. sign me up! Plenty of meat and vegan options. The Details: We "made our own" bowl with hummus as the base - great life choice. Love vegan options! The staff was super nice. There's also an outside eating area as well which is always nice on sunny beautiful days. I imagine taking this food to go and eating at the park would also be a nice choice The Damage: ~ $10 pre tax read more

Food is still good but I have issues with delivery and pick up. It seems the food isn't prepared until you show up to pick it up and then you have to wait which defeats the purpose. Food is paid for at time of order so plz don't make your customers wait longer. read more

Olive Falafel is delicious every time! I love their sauces. Their fire sauce is amazing if you're a true spice lover like myself. The meat, rice, everything is cooked to perfection. They have a huge menu, but I like that you can also make your own rice bowl/wrap/pita and customize it however you like. Their hummus is really good. Love stopping here whenever I'm in Middletown! read more

Mediocre food. Air conditioning is cranked to 60F. Wouldn't go back but also didn't get food poisoning

I've been looking for a good gyro place in Orange County and I've found a great one. the vegetables were crisp and fresh and the lamb was juicy and tasty. Out side of the Greek festival at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church (which I might add is a must for those who haven't been) it's the best Gyro around. The place is very clean and the wait staff was very pleasant. read more

fast casual Mediterranean food, the restaurant was sweltering but the food was good and the portions were generous. I'd visit again, but probably get my order to go. read more

First off the guy who took our order was an absolute gem. So sweet and friendly. Now, my fiancé is Greek, lived in Greece and his parents are from there. So to say he's picky about Greek food is an understatement. He LOVED their food. The Greek gyro was to die for, the dolmades and calamari were awesome and the tzaziki is legit. We will absolutely be going back. Wish we knew it was there sooner! read more

Food quality is top notch. But extremely pricey and service was slow. .... This place could be a Diamond in the rough if they could work out the kinks. Start with the workers. When ask what's on the menu that you would recommend to a first timer her. They answer I have no idea. ... I never ate here. read more

Olive Falafel - Chicken and gyro lunch platter. Barely any taziki ... - Mediterranean Near Me - Middletown, New York

I love my Gyros from here, but being that my doctor read me the riot act yesterday about not taking care of my health as I should, I need to resume eating healthy. Today, I had the greek salad with chicken shwarma from OF! IT was GREAT!!!! This is a great healthier option and was fresh, flavorful and filling! You will not be disappointed and I am glad I have an alternative from this great place when I can't get my Gyros (which I will still get occasionally)! read more

Olive Falafel - Greek Salad with Chicken Shwarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Middletown, New York

We've only ever had the food to go but it's excellent. Very good Gyros and we've especially lived the dip sampler. They have a few tables inside and I think 3 outside. They were reasonably priced at the time of this posting. They have some daily specials and and everyday 2 for. Again the time of posting. The staff is very friendly and the food that's cooked is cooked to order so it's fresh and does take a few minutes. That's a good thing. Highly recommended. read more

Finally made it here and the food is incredible! I ordered a Greek falafel pita all of the ingredients are fresh and delicious - awesome taziki sauce and the staff was really friendly. Nice little inside area to sit down. Pricing very reasonable and there seemed to be specials for gyros on Tuesday's and thursdays. Loved it we will be back read more

Olive Falafel - Greek Falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Middletown, New York

Food is definitely fresh--love the garlic aioli as an addition (not sure that's what it's called, it was fresh garlic paste). Falafel wrap was amazing. Service was good--I have some food allergies so I asked a few questions. I am happy that the person at the register knew their cooking process. The only negative was that we went to dine in and the place was cold-felt like we were outside. We had to keep our coats on. The tables were not so dine-in appealing. Looked dirty but, the good news is that they were not dirty. read more

Great stop on our road trip upstate. Everything was fresh and delicious and was ready real fast. There is a cute little area to sit outside. Service was polite and sweet. Great choice for a quick and healthy and tasty meal. read more

If I lived closer I'd eat here once a week for sure. The food is delicious and I love all the options to customize. It's nice to have something healthier than most fast casual places. read more

The food is alright (despite the portions run on the smaller side), though the overall service especially for dine-in needs vast improvement. There was a bit of a chaos coordinating dining in orders vs the pick up orders. The staff at the register is trying their best however falls short of providing the attention and service one may expect while dining in. While dining in with my family today, they brought two of our three orders at separate times and forgot one of our orders. After waiting long enough that I could conclude the order has been forgotten, I asked and within the next 5 minutes they brought our order. At this point, given the chaos of coordinating orders earlier, I did not make a fuss and thought things like this can happen, no big deal. While we were leaving the restaurant, the staff member ran behind us and asked me to pay for the last item---there I realized that they thought I have not already paid for the last item, instead just ordered it new. This is a small restaurant and at this point this peaked the attention of other patrons inside. I explained that I have already paid for the last item, upon which the staff said "Let me check the computer." Then the staff member realized that I had already paid for the item and sincerely apologized, once. In retrospect, I would have expected three apologies: (1) for the late delivery of the last item, which was for my (picky eater) daughter who had to wait for her meal longer than the rest of us, (2) for not figuring out if I had paid or not well before I was leaving, (3) for creating a bit of a drama for me and my family at the expense of other patrons inside. And the unfortunate part is the third item on our order was a side of French fries. Overall, they seem to be trying their best, probably they do most of their business through pick up, the food is good (though portions run small) and may be a much better experience if you order pick up instead of dine in. read more

We visited this place today. Ordered platter, mega wrap and another chicken mega wrap. Sizes are extremely small. Protein amount in mega wrap and platter is very little. Food is not that fresh. They forgot to bring my side order. After I asked about it, he wanted to double charge. Pictures don't reflect the actual food. Just be mindful. Most probably I won't come to this place. Edit: thanks but I am not planning to come back. I hope my review can improve your business strategy. All of your customers deserve a better treatment. read more

Olive Falafel - Original Falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Middletown, New York

I was really glad I found this place because I live in a more rural area where the restaurants aren't very multicultural. The cashier also made my otherwise dreary day (post-recovery from surgery) with her genuinely friendly manner! There is a bit of a wait, but as someone else pointed out, the freshness of the food makes up for that. You can actually smell the fresh vegetables in the air. Given my spine issues, I did appreciate that there was a comfy, ergonomic chair on which I could wait. Also, I got my food to go and, as an environmentally conscious person, I greatly appreciated that the food was not wrapped in the usual, wasteful plastics that come with most takeout meals! They gave me a few napkins but don't stuff the bag full of the plastic cutlery that's so unnecessary if one (like me) is eating at home. Two suggestions: Ambience could be easily improved with a wall mural and some more homey touches like decor to upgrade from the fast food feel of the space. I like that there's an outdoor space, but perhaps the indoor seating can be expanded, given how busy they are. I also thought the tzatziki sauce (which I'm kind of picky about) could be creamier and less vinegary. Other than that, the food was delicious and well worth the drive into town. read more

Excellent high quality and delicious food in a clean environment. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended!

Staff was so knowledgeable and helpful!! Great vegan and gluten-free options throughout the extensive menu, from bowls with several base options, to sandwiches, wraps, and they even let me try all the hummuses!! Delightful read more

The food was great the first couple times, but I was not happy with my recent order and I believe something has changed, flavor-wise. Also the olives are the kind that you would get on a fast food pizza, which I felt didn't really go well with anything else, the chicken and sumac onions were unusually under-seasoned - I have this now in the "hit or miss" category. read more

This restaurant is a bit off the beaten path and boy, oh boy it's a wonderful find!!! Lots of parking and friendly environment. The kitchen is immaculate which just let me know that I definitely HAD!!! to eat there. The menu is filled with family recipes that taste delicious. This is a great place for a bite, a quick stack up before the game or just chatty time with a friend (which is what brought me there). We tried the hummus, falafel, baklava, rice, lamb, kabobs, pita, Greek salad, homemade tahini and white sauce!!! Everything was totally on point. I definitely recommend. See pics read more

So So. Nothing to rave about. Not what I expected. Probably wouldn't come back. The food was nothing great and expensive considering the quality. I didn't like that it was basically a take out type of place. No ambiance. The music played loud awful music. The only reason I didn't give it a 2 was because the employees were great! Very cheerful and helpful. read more

What used to be Mediterranean Grill is now Olive Falafel. They sure make some great falafel, but will have to return to try this gyro. Got a batch a week or so after they opened and was underwhelmed. Greek salad was good and feta is fresh. However will be back to try some of the other offerings. I will say the prices are alright for the amount of food. Recommended! read more

Everything I've ever ordered from Olive Falafel has been so fresh and flavorful.

I'm a repeat customer for life and always recommend this place to friends/coworkers/family. read more
