Olive - Restaurant in New Orleans - 339 Carondelet St, USA

Absolutely delicious! I had the Greek Salad and Hummus with Peppers for lunch, it was so tasty, the vinaigrette was amazing, and the hummus was just perfect. Staff were nice and friendly. I visited during a week day and parking wasn’t difficult to find. 10/10⭐️

Officially my new middle eastern eats spot. This was first time I came by here that I was able to get a seat. Last two times the place was packed. Ordered gyro plate. There is a broad choice of 2 sides to choose from, that come with this plate. I chose the hummus and salad. Fresh food and perfectly seasoned. It was delicious! Hami waited on me and spoke we had a nice chat as well. It is truly appreciated when the service is so warm and welcoming. I love the wall with pictures and booth seating. Everything in the restaurant was clean including the bathroom ! Want to try Shwarma next time !

Exceptional experience! Great food, great service, in a clean and tasteful atmosphere. We enjoyed the Olive Appetizer and the ShackShuka. A nice memory for our first visit to NOLA.

Plenty of vegetarian options and everything was super fresh. You won't be disappointed if you enjoy Mediterranean & Lebanese food 😋 We had the hummus, veggie grape leaves, salad, and lamb & chicken kababs. The restaurant was slammed with customers and the manager and kitchen staff did an amazing job keeping up how many people were coming through the door. Extremely reasonably priced! This is one of the best things you can do for your body fter a weekend on Bourbon St.

Great hidden gem. Everything was delicious. Huge portions for a great price. Was so much food couldn't finish everything even though I did my best to try because everything was so good. Highly recommend. Great vegetarian selection.

Let me just roll myself out of the front door, food fantastic the Lebanese tea oh my the flavor just permeates your senses. We had the lamb Kabobs with the grape leaves as an appetizer, best I have had. The side salad get this was great!

Best Mediterranean food in all of Louisiana. Fresh, tasty flavourful, it can be spicy and it can be savory. Stop here when you visit Louisiana its on Carondelet.

If I could give this place ze when stars I would solely because of the service . I ordered a sweet tea and didn’t like it so I ordered a sprite instead when our food arrived . The waiter had a long talk with the table next to us but I was thirsty and simply gestured to him that I needed him when he was done . He looked at me almost annoyed still standing in front of the other table and said “what do you need “ and I answered “uh just some tzatziki sauce oh and that sprite “ he answered “okay and you want me to stop talking to my table to go get you a sprite or something ?” And I instantly started crying . Had a terrible day at work , my mom and I were the only black customers . It was total silence as he confronted us or whatever he called himself doing . I mean I balled . I just felt so embarrassed and typically whenever I’ve gestured I need a server they tell me “one minute I’ll be right with you “ I worked as a server and did this all the time I was never so rude . The service was horrible and when I asked him why he was so rude cause I served before and he didn’t have to try and make it seem like I was an aggressor as a black woman he said “I’m the owner and now I’m a racist ? Because you’re black ? Shame on you “ and I told him “no shame on you for treating women like that in general “ . Also , the food was subpar for the service to be so bad . I asked for the sprite and got a sprite back with seasoning in it lol literally had black specks in it so I remained thirsty and I asked for my lamb chops to be well done and then were bleeding . Still tipped because maybe he was overwhelmed from a busy day idk ? But I was too and I’m the paying customer . It was very unprovoked and we felt singled out . The owner is now lying and saying it was me who was rude I didn’t shout for my drink or even speak in a derogatory tone or come off aggressive but because I am a black woman ofcourse I am racial profiled as aggressive. He is lying and saying I yelled when in all actuality he look over at me infront of the other table , rolled his eyes and asked what I need so that I said it out loud and still did not say it loud and he made me repeat myself then corrected my prenunciation . I wasn’t asking for just a drink I was asking for sauce . We are female doctors and don’t tolerate this kind of mistreatment from men , especially not a server . I used to serve myself . If a customer gestures that they need me and I’m busy I say “one moment and I’ll be right with you” . He even answered rudely “DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP WHAT IM DOING TO GET YOU YOUR SPRITE OR SOMETHING ??” He yelled at me and I instantly started crying because I’ve never been so demeaned . I had no other way of viewing it besides blatant prejudice as we live in the south where we are mistreated very often by all ethnic groups . This place is no place for black people who don’t want to be projected onto . I will tell everyone I know in the city
