I wish I was better with names because the young man that is always workingn evenings is wonderful. The spiced tea he brews is to die for, this might just be the best Mediterranean food in Houston. We frequent Olivit's and will as long as we live here. read more

Had a salon appointment in the area and had a brief amount of time, but wanted something different so I chose this spot. I love Persian, Greek, Middle Eastern, etc and was excited to stop in! After walking in, it's a little confusing if it's a sit down full experience restaurant or a fast food place by the design. I wanted to eat in and somewhat short on time orders the Beef Kabob sandwich. It took over 15min to arrive but was hot and delicious. Unfortunately not only was the food slow, but staff was too as well as unattentive even though there were 3 waiters for two tables. read more

Great and tasty Mediterranean food! You can't go wrong with nothing on this menu!!! So tasty! Great ambiance and customer service. Food was very good in my opinion. I will definitely be back. read more

My husband & I are in town for the holidays from DFW, we eat lots of Mediterranean and this was by far one of the best we've yet to have!! EXTREMELY impressed with the flavors as well as the portions and customer service! The environment is very clean and has a nice ambience! 10/10 recommend!!! read more

This Mediterranean restaurant is located on louetta, close to HEB! The food is impressive and the people who work there are kind and friendly. I personally had a chance to talk to the owner who is a very kind and nice man and I went there a full hand of times. I usually do not write reviews because I'm very busy and if I like a place I just return, however they deserved my attention writing this for their excellent food and kindness attending me and my family! I recommend and I can assure you the food it worth going for! read more

The restaurant is small, but not cramped. It is dark and has a nice atmosphere. I think the decor is very pretty. I was seated at a table and my drink order was taken right away. It was around 3pm so the busy lunch shift was over, and the lull before dinner began. Perfect timing for me to eat alone. I ordered a cup of lentil soup and a falafel sandwich. The soup came with bread and all of it had great texture! I wish I could make lentil soup that tasty at home. The bread was fluffy and great for dipping into my soup. Shortly after finishing my soup they brought my falafel. It was wrapped in thin bead and full of hummus and vegetables. It was delicious and not dried out. Halfway through I got very full and had to take the other half to go. I highly recommend this place for vegetarian, vegan, and other plant based diets if you want a tasty meal. I'm sure the meat stuff tastes good, but I don't eat meat. read more

When in the area I always try to eat here. The food is very good and the service is friendly. My only complaint is the shopping center location. read more

Excellent customer service, great food. I ordered a chicken gyro and flavorful and juice. I was very impressed with the food I was served. The place itself is very sanitary and clean. Loved the food, coming back for more soon! read more

This little hidden place is surprisingly great with top notch quality. The staff was extremely attentive, almost waiting on their toes for anyone to look in their direction. Food: We tried both soups and they were so tasty and fresh. My wife loves the lamb one. Hummus was spicy and fresh. So addicting The fresh bread was like a soft pillow. Great quality The beef cubes were very tender and well seasoned. This was my favorite The chicken cubes were nice as well The beef kabob was OK The lemonade slush was so refreshing with fresh mint leaves This place really cares and makes great quality food. They have an extensive Mediterranean menu and cozy seating. Give it a try. read more

EXCEPTIONAL! I don't think I've ever written a review for a restaurant. We took the recommendation from the host and got the Olivit Special Platter and the Creamy Chicken Tekka with rice and a side salad. From the fresh pita to the garlic cream sauce, this place is a must! read more

The wife and I got the gyro cause we were testing different places to see which had the better gyro. This was on point, It didn't seem to heavy as I have had at other places. it was rather light and lean for some strange reason. It was gooooood! Not to mention the hummus and pita bread was more than you can bargain for. Heck I even ask for more pita bread cause I had hummus leftover. She gave it to me as if they had tons in the back. This place was money. It was good food for the right price. If you like gyro, hummus, pita bread, and whatever mediterranean food is out there, check this place out. Will the wife and I go back ? YES WIll you go and try it out? YES you should... Will i take friends here? YES they will come cause they look to me to pick places to eat. Before I forget, the service was a tad slow, but that might be because there was only one waitress for 3 tables.. not sure... but hey doesn't mean you shouldn't get to go.... read more

Great place! I picked up a beef shawarma and hummus to go, and they were both delicious.

This is a very good option for Mediterranean food in this area. I've eaten here twice, and thoroughly enjoyed both meals. Their menu is enormous...you can order hummus 6 different ways, or something like that. We tried their generous portion of the nutty hummus, which was very tasty. Most places add too much cumin, but I couldn't taste even a trace of it. It was thicker than your average hummus, but that made it nice and creamy...trust me, that's a good thing. I was craving a gyro, and theirs definitely sufficed. My husband had some chicken kabobs, and those were great as well. Service is pretty standard, and prices are maybe a bit on the pricey side. However, it's worth it because they have good portion sizes. read more

The bf and I were craving Mediterranean food so we found this place and decided to give it a try. Ohhhhh my goodness. The lamb hummus and HOMEMADE pita bread alone is 5 stars worthy. I got the beef shawarma plate, amazing! The server was super nice and we loved the atmosphere of the place. Will definitely be coming again! read more

Yo, I always crave Olivit's falafel sandwiches. They're long, filling, and creamy, thanks to those delicious falafel patties and tahini sauce. I order one of the bad boys with a side salad. Their Greek dressing is SO good. It's bright tanginess is a great complement to the warm, deeper flavors of the sandwiches. I also love Olivit's peaceful, slightly sultry ambiance. Great place for a quiet lunch or dinner. read more

I came here the other day with friends for lunch, we were super excited as the reviews were great and the ambiance was authentic! The food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. Why I'm giving one star is because German roaches were crawling by our table as we were eating and my husband had to squash them... We won't be coming back because the thought of these roaches being present means there's most likely an infestation read more

The grayest and driest kofta I've ever had, and it's floppy. If you want cheap quick Mediterranean food that tastes good, get Nadia's. Very sad. Didn't receive hot sauce or garlic sauce. Asked for a Cesear salad got Italian. Wanted to like it, since Nadia's was closed, but turns out id rather just wait. Not to mention it had grill marks, I've never seen kofta with grill marks, is suppose to be over a direct flame or coals, and it wasn't even skewered, normally it's cooked on a skewer sword, there were no signs of a skewer sword. read more

Olivit Mediterranean Grill - C4. Kofta Kabab - Mediterranean Near Me - Spring, Texas

Great food! My husband used to travel to the Middle East and North Africa and is very familiar with this kind of food. We love to eat here and have authentic food. One of the few places that serves hummus like we like it. read more

It was so good I came back the following day! Stumbled up this place because we were looking for some Med food but everything was already closed so we decided to give this spot a try. I wasn't feeling the best when we came in as I was just getting over a cold and the owner noticed so she suggested a mint tea. It was so freaking good. ( the next day, I ordered it again) Overall the food was amazing, the ambiance was stellar and the hospitality was on point. So welcoming and the owner did an incredible job of making us feel @ home. I can't wait to go back and take my mom and aunts. sorry I didn't take any pics but trust me when I say that the food was delicious! -Nancy read more

We love the food and service we typically get at this place! However the last 2 times we ordered (once for delivery and once for pick up) we were missing half our order! Nov. 22 and Dec 30th we ordered combo for 2, both times we received for one and the second time we received no sides for any of our orders. It is too far for us to easily go back and a phone call got us nowhere in a credit! Check your orders if you choose to go and don't do delivery! I doubt we'll be back! read more

Love this place, the owners are so polite and the food is amazing ! I went to pick up my online order and it took a little longer than expected, which was fine because I loved to see that it was busy! Keep up the good work guys :) read more

Best hummus in the area! Only down side is food takes forever, both eat in and take out. Otherwise great food

If you know Middle Eastern food, you know THIS is the spot! I grew up in Dearborn, MI and if you know anything about the Middle East, you will know the significance of this. Whatever you order, make sure you try the chicken shawarma or shish tawook with the garlic sauce. If you're a garlic lover, you will be back on the regular!! Tell them shookran on the way out, that means thank you. read more

A small roach walked across our table and when we told our waitress, she asked for the napkin as proof. The manager was made aware and did not apologize or even acknowledge the roach on our table while we were eating. Completely turned off and won't be back. read more

This is not about service, that was nice the front guy was very pilot but the food not good. I use to get the gyros here when they first opened up. I stop coming here 5 years ago because the last time I got a gyro the meat was super dry and hard, it crumbled. I couldn't even eat it. I decided to try them again today, ordered a hummus something simple. The pita was warm. But No flavor to the hummus at all there's no olive oil just seasoning, it's like no salt no tahini flavor nothing. And way too smooth for my taste the pita had more flavor to it. It was a weird texture because there was just NO flavor to it. Sorry but this is the last time I order anything from here. And yes I've had other items from here too but still not good at all. read more

Very friendly staff. Excellent food. Loved the pine nut hummus. And the chicken kabobs were seasoned perfectly.

We have eaten there quite a few times. For some reason it just does not have that Great Mediterranean taste. The service has been good. But they will charge you for everything. read more

This place was extremely nasty food wise and restaurant wise, I ordered the hummus with lamb edible. The falafel was mediocre just tasted like parsley no other flavor. I then ordered the lamb shank when I received it the lamb itself and potatoes were extremely cold. I actually watch them put the bag of lamb in the microwave. If that wasn't sketchy enough the pita wrap for the euro was store bought just something you pick up in heb or Kroger's. The fresh pita that you order was the one thing that was actually good from there. The rice that comes as a side dish was Goya yellow rice but pretty sure goya has better flavor then their rice. The place was severely under staffed one cook and one guy taking orders, online order, fixing drinks and cooking in the kitchen. The tables were sticky, can't even tell you how grossed out I was when I went to the ladies bathroom the floor was so sticky it felt as if someone pored a thin layer of corn syrup on it. I don't understand how this place has 4 stars very nasty won't ever be going back or recommending anyone here. The overall ambiance is terrible! read more

We had to order take-out since we are on lockdown, however, I went in to pick up our order and the restaurant looked clean and cozy inside- definitely a place to dine-in whenever we can do so again. We got a falafel sandwich, a chicken tikka sandwich, a side salad, and fries. The fries were my favorite- the seasoning on it was outstanding! Both sandwiches were good- good quality lavash bread with good condiments (love their pickles!) and both the falafel and the chicken were tasty. Both were huge- each one made for 2 meals. Side salad was basic but good quality and their house dressing is wonderful. Prices are more than reasonable when you see the portion sizes. Man who waited on me was very nice. We will be back! read more

Everything was 5 stars. The hummus and bread was on point, the falafel sandwich was amazing and generously sized, the fries were yum, and the service was awesome- our waitress (the reciept said her name was Juliette) was great and honestly even the water was good. We will definitely be back :-) read more

Their food is so delicious and authentic tasting. I come here with my boyfriend all the time. Great place and prices!

Came here for a dinner with the family. Service was great, friendly and attentive waiters. Atmosphere is nice. Food was superb. I ordered a bowl of zynga soup, followed by Olivit Special platter, meat variety, rice and combo appetizer all on one plate. The flavor is very good, the meat is cooked well, portion is very generous. Also I took a side salad with it. For dessert I had rice pudding (my favorite). It was a nice dinner after all. I highly recommend this place, they have huge menu and many varieties. read more

Olivit Mediterranean Grill - Olivit T1 Olivit Special Platter with side salad. Yummmm - Mediterranean Near Me - Spring, Texas

This is my usual go to for Mediterranean cuisine. You can't go wrong with Olivit! I have tried almost everything on their menu and have been pretty satisfied! The falafel could be better though! My FAVORITE is the "Creamy chicken tekka". Other favorites are: lentil soup, chicken quallaya, hummus w/ lamb, chicken shawarma sandwich (I always add hot sauce), and of course the pita bread with some of their olive oil-zataar blend! read more

Must come back. Lamb hummus. Served with fresh pita bread. I was used to pita bread being flat and all but here the pita bread was puffed up like a balloon. Took a piece and found it to be hollow inside. How perfect. Stuffed some lamb and hummus in there and it was superb. Shared with my bffl and was pretty full/ satisfied my appetite after, but we happened to order other things also. I got the gyro meal which came with steak fries. I devoured the fries which had a nice crunch to em despite the fact that they were steak fries. I also ordered a side of rice. The rice was quite herb-y. It was good, but not omggood. Service was ok. Had to ask for water once when we actually had a chance to hunt someone down. No biggie. I just think the service could be better for such a great place to eat. See y'all later Olivit MG. OMG. :D read more

I was taking my mother in law, mom, and sister on a yarn crawl, and this little gem came up on my yelp search, and we decided to check it out. BUT FIRST: Yes, I was on a yarn crawl. "What is a yarn crawl?" you ask... It's like a pub crawl but WAY MORE BORING. The service was prompt and friendly. The server had excellent recommendations. But anyway. We were hungry after a morning of digging for skeins. We started with the appetizer platter. The babaganoush was particularly good. I had the split lentil soup. It's some of the best soup lentil soup I've had. My sister had a gyro pizza. It's an individual size pizza made on a pita. She thought it was quite tasty. The MIL had a gyro with fries. She's new to Mediterranean food, so she started with the basics. The waiter was about to offer dessert, but I jut remembered that Rao's is only a couple of blocks away. So we went for cake instead. read more

Freaky good food here. No longer have to drive into town to fing good Greek food. Gyro was outstanding. Spicy hummus outstanding. Dolomades outstanding. Pita was hot and fresh. This will be our new go to place. read more

The other Yelpers don't lie, tried the spicy hummus and it was GREAT! Had just enough spice to give it some kick but wasn't overpowering. Loved that they also bring a little side of olive oil & spices instead of just dumping it on the hummus. The pita bread was the traditional kind and has sesame seeds baked into them, yes they are fresh and served HOT. For two people we got a full order of the hummus and probably left 1/4 of it untouched (just so full from all the food)... I think a half order will suffice next time! Got the lunch deal which is choose any sandwich (I chose a Gyro), fries, and a drink for like $7.99 I think. Very good deal. The Gryo was excellent, the tomatoes were marinated in something that just gave it that extra little flavor kick. Meat was moist and flavorful. Can't wait to try another one of their sandwiches! The waiter (and all the staff for that matter) was very polite. The atmosphere was kind of quiet and laid back. The only thing that bugged me was they need some blinds along the front windows. All the cars in the parking lot were reflecting the afternoon sun right into my face! I think this is going to be my new go-to place for a quick Mediterranean lunch. My only regret is not trying this place sooner!!! read more

Okay, I don't know why people are leaving good reviews on this place , I've been trying to find a good Mediterranean restaurant in Houston , since I'm from Austin but I decided to give it a try but I'm really disappointed. First of all I got here waited for a good 15 min and nobody will come , finally one of the three guys came around to take the order , waited again for a coffee , waited again for 25 min to get my food incomplete , the chicken was horrible cook in the microwave from the day before , that's how bad it was . I ate as much as I could handle cause I was hungry but I left almost everything.. I will never comeback to this place again , I decided to give up on finding a decent place to have Mediterranean food . By the way , there were only three tables occupy , what the hell ?? The waiter (only one) wearing a cap and blue jeans with holes in it , I mean nothing professional or decent service at all , didn't seem to know what he was doing either . Don't make the same mistake I did please , stay away from this place . Very pricey as well . If I could I would give it zero stars .. read more

Placed an online order... for the wrong day, the guys working inside were lovely enough to make it for me the day I needed it. Much appreciated. The salad was fantastic, a little small and the container popped open and got cheese all over me, slight bummer, but all in all good. I love their greek dressing. read more
