I love that they use corn tortillas for the tacos. The pork belly taco was drenched in kimchi, not my favorite but a good cut of pork belly. I like the lamb taco tasted just like a mini lamb gyro. The baja fish taco was my favorite though, it's comes in a huge slab. it was so good I ordered another. I love the chipotle sauce the Baja fish taco comes with too.

The kofte lacked seasoning, in the past I remember it being flavorful and juicy, but it lacked salt and was a bit dry and crumbly. The chicken shish kebab was very well marinated and most pieces were cooked perfectly, melted in your mouth! However, there were a couple pieces that I can best describe as rubbery and tough. It looked cooked inside, but it could not easily be cut with a knife or bit into, and it made a weird "rubbery" sound as I bit into it. I think this is not a cooking issue, but rather maybe the quality of the chicken breast? The pieces that were good were really good. The mixed cold appetizers were good, a nice size to share with 2-3 people, and the warm bread and butter is always a delight. I'm not sure if today was just a fluke due to the meat batch or if the cooking style has genuinely changed (it's been quite a few years since my last visit). Perhaps the Adana kebab would have been better as it is a ground meat. Our waitress was friendly, and we thought the portion sizes were good

And their bread, moist yet crispy but so good! Main courses consisted of Chicken Shish, marinated chicken grilled as kabobs served with 2 types of rice-husband LOVED it and this type of food is really not his jam but he was in heaven.

Olive Tree is a hidden gem that deserves every bit of praise. I recently tried their falafel sandwich, and it was nothing short of amazing--filled with authentic flavors that transported me straight to the Middle East. The falafel was perfectly crispy, and the sandwich was packed with generous portions. The attention to detail in every bite was evident, showcasing the chef's dedication to authenticity. What sets Olive Tree apart, besides their mouthwatering food, is the exceptional service. The team is incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a delightful meal. In addition to the fantastic food and service, Olive Tree also offers a selection of Arabic and Middle Eastern goods, adding a unique touch to the overall experience. It's a one-stop destination for both delicious cuisine and a taste of the region's rich cultural offerings. If you're in Milford and craving genuine Middle Eastern flavors, look no further than Olive Tree. It's a five-star experience that left me planning my next visit. read more

Stopped in here mid afternoon after I got my son ice cream from Carvel. Their falafel is so extraordinary, served with pickled beets, fresh hummus and veggies.

From a creative idea it quickly became a dish available in the cities and towns of the Netherlands. Eventually it crossed the borders of Europe, and now available in Bridgeport CT. My wife and I are originally from the Netherlands, or as we say Holland, and familiar with 'kapsalon.' So we didn't wait any longer and made our way to WoW Kebab & Gyros. The restaurant is located at the corner, and we parked on the street. We walked in, and I was hoping to meet somebody with a connection with Holland. It's always good to meet people from the homeland. Hassan greeted me, and we started talking. No connection with Holland, but with other countries in Europe. And because 'kapsalon' had arrived in Berlin, Hassan knew about it and brought it to the US of A. While Isak, prepared our meal (hope I wrote his name right). Hassan and I talked about life, and other stuff cool people talk about. When he however showed me and had me taste the sambal sauce (a spicy chilly originated in Indonesia) and his garlic sauce, my heart skipped a beat. YES! Finally! Oh, man did I long for this. Hassan I'm forever grateful you decided to come to Bridgeport (Yeah, I know Black Rock). Eventually the 'kapsalon' was ready to go. We said our goodbyes. I think I left Hassan with a little anxiety when I told him I'm going to review them in Yelp. Any how we came home and got ready to eat 'kapsalon.' (A moment of silence) Hassan, Isak... thank you, thank you for bringing home a little bit closer. The 'kapsalon' was great! We will meet again, and I will bring friends to experience a taste of Rotterdam in Bridgeport/Black Rock almost Fairfield. We wish you the best, and that WoW Kebap & Gyros will become a staple in our town, and who knows even will cross State borders in the US of A. teşekkür ederim arkadaşım/bedankt vriend

The customer service was okay. It was really young kids at the counter, and they seemed like they were ready to go home. This place was pricey honestly but it was big portions.

Disappointing Experience with Military Discount at CAVA - Shelton, CT…read more Dear CAVA Management, I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration regarding an experience I recently had at your Shelton, CT location. When I asked about the military discount, I was informed by management that I was not eligible because I was not wearing my uniform. As an active-duty Soldier, I find this policy and the way it was communicated deeply discouraging. I am a Soldier 24/7, regardless of whether I am wearing my uniform. Military service does not begin and end with what I wear. Additionally, there are circumstances where wearing a military uniform in public can present safety and security concerns, making it inappropriate or even hazardous. I understand that businesses establish their own policies, but I believe military discounts should recognize the service and sacrifice of military members--not simply whether they happen to be in uniform at the time of purchase. This experience left me feeling unappreciated and discouraged, particularly as someone who continues to serve this country and support businesses in my community. I hope CAVA will reconsider how this policy is applied and ensure that military members are treated with the respect and appreciation their service deserves. Respectfully, #DisappointedSoldier
