stopped by for dinner on a saturday night. the food was superb! had the shawarma salad with beef, hummus and falafel appetizers. everything was so flavorful and good. there were also sauces: garlic, spicy garlic and spicy. tried the spicy garlic and spicy - wasn't a fan of either. the spicy sauce reminded me of vietnamese tương ớt. the service was good. it was us and another table so the waiter was attentive, checking in on us and offering sauces. there was more take out orders than dine in. unfortunately, the ambiance was lackluster. the tables and chairs were kind of flimsy, it was a little cold inside the restaurant. not the best dining environment but the food and service more than make up for it. read more

I have no huge complaints, the food was fine, but this restaurant felt like a weird hybrid of something like Broilers and an actual Mediterranean restaurant. Can't say I'd be dying to go back, but it was worth a try. read more

I'd definitely say if I could give it a 4.5. I would I went with 6 of my friends. It was completely empty at the time so they were very attentive to our table. The food was very very solid my plate was the chicken shawarma plate. I liked it quite a lot and it was worth the price. I could say that there was a solid portion of chicken but I wish there were more. It has a nice and clean environment. I was charged $26.14 for my plate with the tip but I'm assuming they added tip already since it did claim it was $17 on the menu. read more

Olive Tree Mediterranean - Chicken tenders and fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

I went to get the lunch special chicken shawarma wrap that comes with fries and a drink, and it was such a great value for the price. The wrap itself was huge, I was able to split it between 2 meals. It was nice and hot and absolutely delicious. The fries is also a good portion, and I was also able to split those. They were seasoned well and a little addicting. The shop was empty when I went, but it was around 2pm on a Wednesday so maybe just a little slow at the time. The workers were super nice though and the shop itself was very clean and tidy. I did wait a little long for my food even though I called to order ahead, but I wasn't in a rush AND they made it up to me by giving me some baklava to take home. Overall, more people should definitely check them out for some solid Mediterranean food. read more

Was really disappointed. Read that this place had the best Mediterranean food in Fresno but we were really disappointed. We ordered 2 waters and a tea to drink and was only served 1 drink: the tea, which didn't come out quick enough. I think the guy didn't know what he was doing because our table also did not have any utensils or napkins. We assumed we would be given them when the food came out. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

We were craving Mediterranean food and decided to check this place out. Olive Tree has been in business a little over a year. The entire family loved it! First off, service was great. The gentlemen working there were super attentive, ensuring we were satisfied with our meal and checking in to see if we needed anything else. The thing we appreciated the most was the pita bread. It was thin but opened to make the perfect pocket for our food. Most places, the pita bread is thick and fills us up quickly. The meat was seasoned to perfection. You can tell they marinated the meat thoroughly and at the right length of time. Humus and rice were delicious. The unanimous family favorite was the salad. It was packed with cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced green squash, and the dressing-packed with flavor! It is a casual atmosphere, with plenty of space if you have a larger party. The staff is very accommodating. We are definitely returning. read more

Excited for this new Mediterranean restaurant so close to my home, but it was a miss for me. Pros: ample seating, bright atmosphere The baklava was pretty good- each bite had a nice crunch. Cons: the food was bland, not flavorful. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma, the chicken was a chicken tender....and it's described as "marinated shawarma meat". It was accompanied with 2 sauces, one sauce was a bit runny and watery. The fries were bland as well. I like my fries on the crispier side, so if you like your fries not crispy this place may be for you. I originally ordered the Basbousa for a dessert, apparently they don't make this dessert everyday, and they asked if we wanted the baklava instead.... Which is fine the baklava was good, but the cost of the baklava was a cheaper, and we were not offered to have an extra garlic sauce or pita etc. or be reimbursed for the difference. read more

This is by far the best Mediterranean food that I have had. The beef kebab was flavorful and juicy, the rice pilaf was fluffy and full of flavor. The host of the place was wonderful, accommodating, friendly, and made us feel welcome. Once again, I kept saying OMG because it was delicious! Please support this place! read more

Best Mediterranean food I've had so far and would definitely recommend it. My husband and I are foodies and we both agreed that the food was amazingly BOMB!!!! I had the chicken kabob plate and he had the combination plate (chicken and beef). Everything was juicy, and loved all the fresh ingredients. Friendly customer service, excellent value and great tasting food. It was our first time here, but definitely not our last read more

Seen this place on Instagram and the photos looked good so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a chicken shawarma plate (which comes with chicken, rice, side salad, and side of hummus) and a side of pita bread. I was told it would be about 15 minutes. I came back around 20-25 minutes later and was told there was a mistake with my order so that it would be an additional 10 minutes. They were apologetic and gave some free baklava for the trouble. The young man who helped me then offered me their assortment of sauces and they were all yummy! Portions were large and everything had a really good flavor to it. So even though there was a delay with my order, they made it right and the food ended up being worth the wait. :) read more

Great Mediterranean food. Service is fast and friendly. The chicken shawarma is very flavorful as is the chicken kabob. read more

Their MuTabal is to die for! Perfect flavors and texture. I ordered the vegetarian platter which is only 4 food items which for the price is a little disappointing but the food is good. The falafel and hummus were good. I wouldn't say this place is better than other Mediterranean restaurants in Fresno but it's a good option for classic Mediterranean food. It's a casual setting and there's plenty of tables but both times we went we were the only ones there so the service was very personal. read more

Food was delicious and service was fast and friendly! Also appreciate the late hours, it's so hard to find quality food after 9 here in Fresno. We'll definitely be back! read more

It was my second time coming here with my coworkers. Yousef was very nice and attentive, food was delicious I highly recommend Olive Tree.

Absolutely horrible in terms of service - insanely long wait times (consistent across multiple visits) - okay food, not worth the wait in my opinion. read more

10/29/24 Hot & New!! Must try!! Getting lunch!! Really nice restaurant! Lots of seating. Tables and chairs and a little bar-like set up by the register. The worker was Great! Happy to give recommendations. I ended up getting their Chicken Shawarma Wrap with 1/2 salad/ 1/2 rice instead of fries. He even let me sample their Yalanji(stuffed green leaves!) (Wow!! Delicious!!) while waiting for order to be ready. His favorite! I know why! =p Small wait. Low key, Great restaurant with music playing. Received order a little bit later with thank yous! Great!! Lunchtime! You get A LOT of food!! Lots of leftovers!! Falafel is Great!! Really tasty and the sauce included compliments it perfectly! Fresh & tasty salad under the chicken shawarma with pita chips in it. Chicken Shawarma is DELICIOUS and I love that it comes cut to make it easier to eat & enjoy! FLAVORFUL!! Same with the hummus & rice! Perfect textures too. Great Tahini & garlic sauce that came with it too!! REALLY DELICIOUS lunch with, easily two more meals of leftovers! Great service too!! HIGHLY Recommended!! read more

The service was also a 10/10 our server recommended for dessert we try basbousa and it was something new for me but so delicious and decadent. The music and ambience was chill, very much good vibes all around! I didnt get pics as i literally devoured it so fast bc of how good the food was! It was also very affordable in comparison to places like kabob city. read more

Mashallah some of the best Arabic food in town, my fiancé mentioned this is the best falafel she's ever had and I felt the shawarma fries were amazing.

I ordered the beef jerky Kabob. I'm more than okay with a long cook time due to whatever reason - but not for it to just come out overcooked. Hummus and potato app are good. Everything else bland. read more

Olive Tree Mediterranean - Beef Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

I wanted to try a new place and in researching, this seemed like a great option. We will not return. Service staff were friendly but not great otherwise. Refill on my drink was never offered, even though I drained it and it was on the edge of the table. The food took a while to make it to the table, which, if it had been great, could be forgiven...but it wasn't and it won't. Babaganouch was good, as was the hummus...but I swear they drizzled it with vegetable oil. Olive oil is greenish or yellow...the oil used was pretty much clear and didn't have a flavor. This was especially obvious with the fatoush. The meat was flavorful but way overcooked. The kafta was actually crispy in several parts. I don't understand how rice that is so colorful can have so little taste. The garlic sauce could have been a saving grace but it didn't even have a garlic flavor, it was like bland mayo. We had leftovers and we did not take them with us. There are a lot of places superior to this one around Fresno. Find one of them. read more

It was our first time here... food is freshly made to order and y they have awesome customer service!

Alisa is the best! Our server had such great suggestions and the service was outstanding! Now for the food; fantastic! I had the chicken kabob plate as did my friend. Wife had beef with hummus (picky eater, so nothing but beef and hummus). All were very good. The rice is not your average pilaf like you get at the store. Bright flavor that doesn't overwhelm your palate. For dessert we had the Basbousa, to die for!!! read more

The food was pretty good, service was decent but extremely slow. We waited over 45 minutes or more for the food to be served . They were extremely rushed and seemed very unorganized. Some people were there before our party and still were waiting for their food when we were half way through. I can't unfortunately recommend this place because I got food poisoning. No one else in my party did but me. read more

Live right next to this place for awhile but haven't ever tried it until tonight! Went for a pickup order and it made me regret never coming here in the first place!! My boyfriend has been on the hunt for a good shawarma and hasn't been pleased until we got theirs! Food was warm and fresh and decent portions for your moneys worth! Staff was friendly , super cute inside and will definitely be dining here in the future! Thank you for such a yummy dinner! read more

30 minute wait for a "chicken" bowl that had 4 little chicken nuggets. Chicken that was in the bowl was dry, rice was gross. After tax and a side of hummus it was $17. I threw it away and cooked dinner. While waiting for the food the place was about 80 degrees inside. I don't like trashing small businesses but this place better change something or they aren't going to make it. read more
