Doesn't look like much from the outside but open the door and enjoy old school dining and decor. The food is plentiful though it takes a while to get to the table. Found the fries a bit greasy and not crispy as if they were cooked before the oil was at temperature. The pita was also a little dry around the edges. The owner visited our table and was solicitous. read more

Olive Tree Mediterranean Grill - Cheers - Mediterranean Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

Wanted to eat some Mediterranean food for lunch so a coworker and I came to Olive Tree to try it out. Pretty spacious interior with a good amount of parking in front so that's always a plus. Our server was friendly and checked up on us throughout our lunch. Hummus w/Pita- the hummus was good! I never had pita flat like this so it was pretty interesting but it wasn't bad Batenjan- I'm not sure if I liked this dish. I feel like the acidity from the tomatoes were a little too overpowering and I didn't get to taste the savoriness of the dish. The Batenjan comes with a salad though so that's nice! Overall, I'd rate this place a 3.5. I'm not sure if I'd come back for lunch but I did see on the flyer that there's Belly Dancing so that's pretty neat and maybe I'd come back for that and try a different dish. read more

This place was a great surprise! Our family came here after my Uncle's funeral service. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the owner was super welcoming. The place is nice and clean, just a little dark for us since we have vision issues I don't live anywhere near here but will definitely be back! I highly recommend trying this place if you live in the area and even if you don't , it's worth the drive. I have been recommending it to other family and friends. read more

I was already in love with this place, but wow--the new updates and decor was amazing!!! The service was outstanding as always, it was the owners son, Dominique--he's a fabulous host. Hooked us up with the special for two that included some Lebanese red wine and it was fabulous. The special included chicken, filet mignon, and kaftan kabobs with roasted onions, tomatoes, and rice... so bomb. I always get the chicken kabobs anyhow, which are always cooked to perfection. You MUST get their hummus and baba ghanoush as appetizers and of course, what is this feast without an amazing desert? Homemade baklava of course!!! After dinner Dominique was showing us all the new renovations and took us to the new hookah lounge they made---totally awesome!!! He offered to try many different types of tequilas on the house, but if course we tipped because he was just a riot! He likes to play name that tune game with you, and he's REALLY good at stumping you even though you know the song!!! I enjoyed myself tremendously and the new ambiance is just the shiz, this place is a jewel and I'm glad I discovered it 5 years ago bc it's off the chain now! Don't forget belly dancing every Friday night!!! Thank you Dominique and pops, you guys are awesome!!! read more

What a great find in Pasadena. Owner is an awesome guy with a big personality. Loved the food and will be back.

Great staff, great atmosphere, music, and food! The price is right and the portions are fair. I love the salmon and steak!

Hidden gem! 10/10 can't wait to go back! Unfortunately didn't take any pictures but the chicken platter was delicious. Owner was super friendly and personable. Loved everything about this restaurant. read more

The food and service are incredible! Don't let the outside fool you! This is the real deal when it comes to Greek food in Houston. Fresh, authentic and delicious. The hummus and tabouli salad for starters with any of the kabobs are a perfect meal. Go in on a Friday night for their special along with a belly dancing display. Great prices too! read more

Olive Tree Mediterranean Grill - Gyro Over Greek Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

The reviews and food on here must be from a different chef/cook or owner. The person who waited on us has zero experience or training in restaurant industry. Guessing a family member helping out. The table we sat in seemed it hasn't had a good wash in years. The food was not fresh. This place is probably breaking god knows how many health violations back there. My family tried to eat the food. I'm worried they will have food poisoning. This place needs a gordon ramsey makeover. There is zero effort put into the food. This place should be a hookah bar not a restaurant. read more

I absolutely love this place. We are always treated so nice. The food is so good, and has never been bad. Keep up the good work y'all.

INCREDIBLE food!! If you haven't tried it yet, you need to. A little hard to spot but once you do it'll change your life!! The owner Dominique is a great guy, come pay him a visit. 10/10 read more

This was my first time trying this establishment as I live and work closer to Clearlake/Friendswood area. My mother brought me here for my birthday. I've had other Mediterranean restaurants but I must say this one left me feeling just right and satisfied- not too full or heavy. My go-to is the gyro or Greek salad, but I decided to step outside the box today. We ordered the stuffed cabbage rolls, pita and hummus, and bamieh. The bamieh came with a side salad as well. The food was flavorful and tasty. I was perplexed with the amount of meat that came with the dish (4 bite size pieces), but the owner (I'm assuming) came out to explain they use filet mignon with this dish (menu describes it only as beef tenderloin). I understood then why the meat was limited and would've been okay with the dish as is had it been explained earlier, but nonetheless, they did provide me with extra beef. I will be back again as I enjoyed the food I had, the atmosphere was inviting, and the staff very friendly. read more

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Houston. The service is always impeccable and the food is outstanding. We drive all the way from Pearland to eat here. The Gyro sandwich is wonderful, the Gyro salad is awesome. We enjoyed their Tabouleh and Hummus as well. The lentil soup was good as well. They even sell olive oil and olives. We bought them for the first time and are excited to try them at home. Wonderful meal. If you want a real pick me up, try their coffee. Wow read more

I had been wanted to try this place for a while so I finally did. Ordered over the phone and the owner was very personable asked me my name and took my order. When I came to the restaurant he remembered me and asked had I been there before, I replied no, and he was like add this sauce for my entree. The food was good. I would recommend for food and customer service. read more

The tzaki sauce was super watery. The fries were limp. The gyro meat tasted ok but the pita bread tasted packaged. The service was fairly fast but the food definitely suffers. Inside looks nice and definitely foos like somewhere I'd want to go sit and eat. Just fix the food. read more

Hands down the best Mediterranean I've ever had. Incredible flavor, tender meat, delicious desserts.

So glad I came here!!! Service was amazing! The owner made sure I was enjoying everything. Very attentive. Not only to me but everyone around. I had hummus (beautiful and delicious), the beef kabob cooked medium. The beef was seasoned so well and was so tender! The rice was delicious too! The wine pours were very generous.( 5 stars for sure!) I had his red wine recommendation. I don't even know what it was. But it paired perfectly with the food! I will always eat here when in Pasadena, TX! read more

My family and I visited the Houston area and in the mood for Mediterranean food. I specifically was craving Falafel. Thankfully we found Olive Tree on Yelp and the reviews looked very good. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted by the owner and he immediately found us a nice booth. He was very nice and took great care of us. He said he's been in the businesses for over 40 years and it showed. We knew that we were in good hands! My wife ordered the chicken shishkabob and she really enjoyed it. I ordered the beef shishkabob as well as a Falafel plate and hummus. I wanted to try everything! Everything was so delicious and fresh. The salads were very good too! The owner also mentioned that they have Mediterranean beer which I really enjoyed. The pricing was very fair and the entire experience was fantastic! We can't wait to visit next time we are in town! read more

This place has such excellent food. I'm in town visiting from out of state and I must say that this is probably the best food that I've tasted in a long time. If you enjoy vibrant flavors, fresh veggies and healthy proteins, this is the place for you. I ordered the Turkish coffee and a Greek Salad with Chicken. This was more than enough food and the quality and freshness were amazing. Lemon juice, parsley, Greek olives, herbed and spiced chicken, served with a side of wonderful, garlicky Toum...just a great, healthy meal. Restaurant staff are friendly and kind. You'll love this place! read more

Great food, exotic, I was there with my bf. Great adult entertainment, good dining experience. Service was great. The only thing off was all the belly dancers had severe teeth decay. All of them. They approached us made weird offers such as taking them to a local hotel to provide private belly dance services. Even after we declined they got very touchy with my bf and they weren't okay with our repetitive No Thanks. Mind you we were there for Valentine's. The following day they found us on social media and continued their persistence offering private entertainment at a hotel. Then after blocking them we were spammed on social media with fake profiles. read more

Good music and atmosphere. Tonight we celebrated valentines. The restaurant had a set menu. Wine roses dessert appetizers and very well prepared meats and entries dishes. The wine was a whole bottle for every couple to share. So it paired excellent with meats and dessert. I will definitely recommend to friends and family. The live entertainment was belly dancing and before that they had excellent music veing played. read more

Arrived about 6:30pm and almost did not get a sit or table. Reservations are definitely needed. Walk ins are welcomed but reservations-well you know. The music was great it somewhat made me believe-with my eyes clothes that I was somewhere in the Mediterranean. FYI if I didn't mention on my first review they have a few hookahs here as well. Tonight is Belly Dancer night. I have never seen live belly dancing. I am so excited. I know the hummus is great here but I am just a little more excited about the dancing. I ordered the Shish Kabob (beef) with rice. I thought about the Shish Taook (chicken) the seasoning on the Beef and the aroma when I walked in had my order already placed in my mind. The hummus came out and it was perrrrfect. The best hummus that I have ever had. Oh the Belly Dancer is Here-did I just bite my tongue? I will say that I had a hard time focusing on my food. But I madd through the hummus. In a way I want here to come up during dinner but in the other I don't- because the food is that good. My Shish Kabob was great the steak seasoned to perfection and tender. The rice hit the spot. The grilled onion, tomatoes and pepper were a perfect combination for a satisfying. I am good!!! read more

Nice place so-so food. Not manymediterrian places in pasadena to compare. 3 stars instead of 4 because they are not open for lunch.

This place is incredible!!! You have to go! The service was prompt, but not rushed. I ordered the grape leaves, Turkish coffee, eggplant and baklava. It was so good. I was full and I kept eating because it was so good I couldn't stop! The owners son is a very charismatic salesman who was kind and so much fun. The place seemed unusually quiet for the time of the day, but that didn't seem to impact our service or the food at all. I need to go back and have everything on the menu! read more
