    Greek Fries
    Tanya B.

    I was visiting my mom in FL and wanted to try a new restaurant that was healthier. I saw that this was a Mediterranean place and I'm half middle eastern so I grew up with similar foods, so I know what is authentic and what tastes good. So we decided to get Olive U Mediterranean Grill for dinner ordered through uber eats. I ordered their create your own bowl with green falafel (there are two different kinds but most places have the green one), turmeric rice, extra tomatoes, cucumbers, extra pickles, chickpeas, feta cheese, house sauce, tahini, tzatziki, and hummus. Though the veggies were fresh, the food had absolutely NO flavor.... Not even the hummus tasted of anything except chickpeas (there should be some lemon and olive oil for example). While it was healthy and fresh, it having no flavor isn't what I'm used to. I didn't even have more than a few bites. The pickles were ok. My mom ordered the same thing but with the chicken shawarma and rice with lentils. She mentioned the same thing, no flavor despite having the chicken instead. If you know anything about middle eastern or Mediterranean food it NEVER lacks flavor, so this was very disappointing. We also ordered the Greek Fries which has their house sauce, feta cheese and paprika. I would say that despite being a bit soggy (probably due to it being delivered), this was the only menu item we got which had any sort of flavor at all. We ordered the Cilantro Lime Hummus as well, and I really wanted to like this, but unfortunately despite the slightly good flavor from the cilantro and lime combo, it had a distinct waxy aftertaste almost like when your lipstick gets in your food. I'm not sure what would cause this but maybe it just wasn't that fresh? Either way we both were left feeling hungry. I didn't have much to experience as far as service except that they included everything that was ordered in the bag and it was packed well. TLDR: Olive U Mediterranean Grill clearly doesn't love you if they are offering food with absolutely no flavor at all. Also, the cilantro lime hummus was waxy and artificial tasting. Despite the veggies being fresh, and the fries being ok, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially not for an authentic experience.

    We ordered at Olive U Mediterranean Grill in Wellington, FL -- here's what went down: Chicken & Lentils Bowl Grilled chicken, lentils, rice, pickles, jalapeños, banana peppers -- bursting with flavor. 9.5/10 Greek Fries Perfect seasoning + creamy feta. Massive flavor. EASY 10/10 Gyro Bowl Cinnamon rice, gyro meat, cucumbers, tomatoes -- that rice is insane. 9/10 Pita + Hummus Warm, soft, and so good. Baklava Not too sweet, super crunchy. 9.5/10 Want to see the full video ? Check us out on YouTube: J.D Ovalle, Instagram. J.D_Ovalle And TikTok: J.Dovalle1

    Always on point and never disappoints. From the fresh food options to the great service and the clean dining area...this is my go to spot for a healthy lunch option when I am on the go!

    Great place with delicious food and fast service. Definitely enjoyed how delicious and fresh everything was. Nice atmosphere inside and wasn't busy. Definitely recommending the place.

    We had a good dinner here. But, full disclosure, I'm not a fan of bowl food. I don't like everything smushed together. So take this review with a grain of salt. My husband was craving a salad for dinner as we'd had a big lunch. I remembered coming to one of their other locations for a Yelp West Palm event many years ago. And that they had a salad based option. So we decided to check them out. You go through the line by starting with a "base". We both chose salad. Other choices include rice or lentils or hummus. Then you choose your protein. I got their chicken shawarma. It's the same as their plain grilled chicken, but with added seasonings like cumin and curry. It's not spicy at all. My husband chose felafel. These are fried chick pea balls with herbs. Then there are your choices of toppings and sauces/dressings. There are 10 possible toppings. I chose their vinaigrette dressing. He had the house one. In addition, I added some hummus on the side. This was a small cup. You can also have a much larger hummus appetizer with a slice of pita. The chicken was a bit dry so the hummus was a good addition. We did feel like we were getting some fiber and eating "healthy". He was very happy with his choices and his meal.

    I heard about their excellent gluten-free options and decided to give it a try. The staff patiently explained all the gluten-free items, which made me feel confident in my choice. I built a rice bowl with yellow rice as my base and opted for double protein: the Olive U Chicken and Falafel. The toppings bar was so fresh and vibrant. I added Romaine lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, feta, garbanzo beans, pickled cabbage, cucumbers, and olives. The house sauce and tahini dressing were amazingly flavorful and creamy. The cilantro hummus was also very yummy. Dining in was an enjoyable experience. The space was spotless and staff checked in twice to make sure we had everything we needed. That kind of attentive service really stands out in 2025. But the real star was the Greek fries. Topped with that incredible house sauce and crumbled feta, they were so good I'm still dreaming about them! On days I don't want to cook or want a healthy fast-food fix, Olive U has become my go-to spot.

    Literally my favorite Mediterranean spot! As a vegan, finding a place that gets both fries and falafel right feels like a small miracle, and Olive U absolutely delivers. The fries are perfectly crispy, the falafel is flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right, and everything tastes like it was made with care. It's one of those spots I keep coming back to because the food is consistently satisfying and seriously delicious. Definitely one of my go-to places when I'm craving Mediterranean food.

    Shawn, Mackenzie and Emily were friendly and helpful! Location is clean and the parking was simple. The options of food were plentiful. Lots of fresh toppings to enhance your bowl. The chicken is made to order and had lots of flavor. Great quote place to grab lunch or an easy to go order.

    The best Mediterranean bowl I've had in a very long time. I love the flavors that they offer and the customization of the bowls is fantastic for anyone on a strict diet. I'm on a high protein and lower sodium diet (even though I got a bit of the pickled cabbage, I couldn't help myself lol) and they hooked the food up for me exactly how I want! Fast and efficient crew. Very polite as well. Easily 7 stars, but I can only give 5

    Food was excellent. Veronica the manager came over asked about our experience and was a joy. Definitely recommend. Corporate should open a restaurant in east Ft Lauderdale on US 1 between Sunrise and OPB.

    Great place to eat comfortable

    5 Review for Olive U I had an amazing experience at Olive U! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with top-tier service from Veronica, who was so good at what she does that I genuinely thought she owned the place. Her leadership shines through in the entire staff--everyone was friendly, professional, and efficient. The restaurant itself is clean, well-organized, and makes it incredibly easy to pick a healthy meal for the day without sacrificing flavor or variety. And the best part? The prices are just right! Honestly, Veronica deserves her own location (with the owner's blessing, of course!). Loxahatchee/Westlake NEEDS an Olive U, and if Veronica is running it, I know it will be just as excellent as this one. Highly recommend this spot!

    Chicken Shawarma with lentil rice, double protein, and double veggies
    Wendy B.

    My husband is home from work today and I wanted to try a different base. I really liked the chicken shawarma last time so we kept the protein. This time we tried the rice with lentil. I ordered online so hubby could see the options. I knew from the last order that the size was large and we could double the protein and it be enough food for us both. We did the lentil rice, double chicken shawarma, double all veggies except lettuce and asked for jalapeños on the side. I was not going to get the black olives due to last time one had a pit in it, but the owner reached out to me and informed me this should not be and he was going to get a different olive supplier. We added on 2 grape leaves, lime cilantro hummus and house sauce as well as the hot sauce (all sauces on the side). I got there at 11:22 and my bag was ready for pick up and I brought it home. They use cardboard containers so its nice knowing that it is recyclable. I dumped the ingredients from the container into a large bowl, added the hummus and house sauce and mixed it all up. My husband added jalapeños and hot sauce to his. It was delicious and next time I might try the hummus base. The rice with cinnamon just sounds odd, I might ask for a tiny side sample next order to try that.

I'm glad I did! The location is in the Home Depot shopping center, so it may not be the most prime location, but parking was easy and convenient, and it's close to the surrounding neighborhoods. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly and respectful host. The restaurant was nicely done, and even though we arrived a little early before the dinner rush, the atmosphere was already great. We were seated right away, and both our server and the manager came over quickly to make sure everything was taken care of. We ordered a great variety of appetizers for the table baba ghanouj, hummus, falafel, kibbeh, labneh, and fresh bread. Everything looked beautiful, smelled amazing, and tasted even better. I ordered the lamb kabab with rice, and honestly, it was so good I didn't want to share it with anyone. The music was great, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the service was fantastic. I was especially impressed with how involved and attentive the manager and server were throughout the meal. If you love Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, or you simply enjoy trying different kinds of food, I definitely recommend giving La Vie Mediterranean a try. In my opinion, this is easily one of my top three Middle Eastern restaurants on the East Coast. Great food, great people, great service, and a really enjoyable experience. One tip: come hungry and leave room for the meal and definitely try several different appetizers! The owner really nailed it with this place. Highly recommended!

It was filled with people enjoying incredible food, and you could tell this place was a local favorite. Of course, I had to start with one of their Greek beers, served in a traditional beer mug, which was the perfect way to kick off the meal. We also ordered the tzatziki and hummus sampler, and I'm so glad we did. The flavors were unbelievable, and they were incredibly generous with the warm pita bread. Honestly, I ate so much of the sampler that by the time it came to order my entrée, all I could manage was a piece of grilled chicken. Even then, I found myself dipping the chicken into the hummus and tzatziki because they were just that good. I left completely full, happy, and even had leftovers to take home. The staff was fantastic--everyone worked together seamlessly, helping one another and making sure every table was taken care of. It created such a welcoming atmosphere. After eating here, it's easy to understand why this restaurant has so many outstanding reviews. The food, service, and overall experience absolutely live up to the hype.
