Absolutely love the atmosphere. A beautiful old house turned into a restaurant with a southern style front porch. There's seating on the porch as well. It was 100 degrees when we were there so needless to say we ate inside. We were there at lunch. My wife had a chicken pita and the best fries I have ever had. She really liked her pita. I had the chicken kabob with rice and a small salad. The chicken was incredible, the rice had a hint of ginger, the small salad was good. Definitely recommend, hours are 11-9 Thursday-Saturday. read more

This is a very authentic restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Remind me of the Cafe in the Middle East.

Went here for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious and very fresh. We were in Cape Girardeau for a week visiting family. We would have ate here a few more times but they are only open a few days a week! Next time we are in town we will definitely be back! Loved it read more

If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food then look no further. Upon entering their establishment you are warmly greeted and promptly seated. It's a home style building so don't be fooled they will make you feel like apart of the family. The employees are so friendly. I really loved their hospitality. I ordered a water and their Shish Tawook with a side of pita and their garlic sauce. One word.. phenomenal! I was not disappointed. The chicken was cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely. The rice was so good probably my favorite thing. Their garlic sauce threw me off a bit only because I felt like it was yogurt sauce but doesn't matter it was good whatever it was! The pita with the hummus is classic and can't go wrong with that. I also ordered their green salad to go as I knew I was going to want something lighter a bit later. I wished they had their baklava but that's okay more of a reason to come back! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone! You have to give them a try! They are open from Thursday- Saturday so if you're wanting to go, go early they get busy fast! read more

We had a fantastic lunch at Olive's. We were returning home from kayaking the Cache river, and this spot was on the way. The house restaurant style is inviting and was surprisingly not crowded at all inside. There were very nice tables and chairs inside with attentive wait staff in a somewhat intimate setting. We parked on the street (not sure there is a parking lot, due to location in a house). I had shish tawook and she had mujadara. Both dishes were flavorful, and the salads were very fresh. We also shared baba ghanoush, which had a wonderful smoky flavor. If we are ever in the area again, we will return. read more

Road trip stopover in Cape Girardeau, MO. We found this month-new restaurant and hit the dinner jackpot! Currently open just Fridays and Saturdays, situated near the river in a converted old house, this Middle Eastern restaurant serves excellent food. I am GF and love falafel, which isn't always GF. Not only was the falafel GF, it was made from scratch - soaking and grinding beans. Crunchy exterior and flavorful, not overly dry inside. My husband ordered the lentil soup. Another winner, creamy but with texture and seasoned beautifully. The hummus was really good too. We shared an entree, the Mixed Grill: chicken and lamb kabobs on saffron spiced rice with salad and hummus. The meats were perfectly cooked. The salad was very good. The rice was a surprise. We usually opt for extra salad/no rice; but Adam was convincing - so we went for it. We were scraping up all the grains. If you're fortunate to live in the area or just passing through, Olive's Pitaria is a must. read more
