Herb&Olive

The service was friendly and on point. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. We had the fried calamari, the falafel, and the mini pork pitta. The pork was tender and juicy. The Mediterranean salad that came with it had a delicious dressing and flavor. The falafel was very tasty, and the tomato lemon sauce that came with the fried calamari was flavorful and a good complement to the calamari. We ended with some Greek yogurt and honey for dessert that was smooth, sweet, and delicious. We definitely recommend it

My friends and I came in for late lunch after playing pickleball one weekend. What a pleasant surprise and good find, the food was pretty good. We ordered Tsouteki French Toast(meh), Kataifii Salad(pretty good) and Fave w/ Pita(love) for starters. The Kontosouvli (Marinated Pork) Skillet entree was tasty, and Chicken Haloumi Sandwich was good as well. We all left with a happy stomach!

I made a last-minute reservation at Herb and Olive, and I’m so glad I did. The whole experience exceeded my expectations! The food was incredibly fresh and delicious — every bite felt thoughtfully prepared. We were helped by Zoya, who was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and welcoming, and her warmth truly elevated the entire experience. It’s rare to find service that makes you feel so at home. I also ordered the watermelon cucumber drink, and it’s a must-try — super refreshing and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was just as great as the food — relaxed, vibrant, and inviting. I’m really happy I found this place and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I love greek cafes and this one is one of them. They have all sorts of greek treats on the menu. I only tried the baklava and frappe. Loved both of them. Next time I am going to try the breakfast. The place is spacious and bathrooms are clean. Service is also friendly. Would come back in a heartbeat.

I do many reviews of excellent restaurants but this restaurant is in the top echelon perhaps in a class by itself. I was initially reluctant to book a reservation here seeing that it was an upscale market-type atmosphere, but let me tell you that this actually added to the ambiance! The service was phenomenal! George, the proprietor, greeted us and checked on us throughout the meal. Stella and Theodore were attentive servers and very helpful in guiding us to choose dishes. Everything was beautifully presented. I could go on and on because Herb & Olive is really that good! Excellent starters (tyrokeftedes, veggie crisps, calamari), fabulous salads and entrees and the desserts! Oh the desserts!! Highly recommend!!

Called Herb&Olive for the first time to place a small catering delivery order and spoke to Stella. She was patient, kind, and incredibly helpful during our order. She made great suggestions for dining selections and was very knowledgeable about the menu. She also provided an accurate delivery time, which we really appreciated. Excellent customer service overall!

Dinner at Herb and Olive was an amazing experience. The food was superb. We ordered the Dakos salad, veggie chips, octopus and falafel. All delicious! For our main course we had the Kontosouvli which was so flavorful and shrimp with orzo was very satisfying. Our waiter made us feel welcome as if we were guests in his own home. We will definitely be back!

Nice place. I took iced latte and it was not very good. But the ambiance of theianpalce is pleasant. They also sell some unique an interesting Greek items and drinks.

Overall, the experience was, Absolutely amazing! The server was George. I felt like we were in his home. It was the first time someone said to us, let me order for you. He did not disappoint. I had the Bronzino and my husband had the salmon. Very generous portions with amazingly fresh ingredients. We had an opportunity to sample several different wines from Greece. The ambience is very nice. I highly recommend.

Yum! We loved Herb & Olive. The fresh, warm homemade pita bread is true comfort food. Perfect texture and flavor. I could eat it all day. It was delicious with the tzatziki dip and shakshuka for brunch. The tzatziki dip was creamy and had the perfect blend of yogurt, cucumbers and herbs. The shakshuka hit the spot. The sauce was well seasoned and the eggs were runny which is perfect for dipping the pita bread in. The venue is very inviting. There's some small tables and a wall of goods for sale when you walk into the restaurant. Towards the back are larger tables for sitting large groups. The modern design is fresh and clean. The staff is so warm, friendly and welcoming. Great vibes at Herbs & Olive. I'll be back!

Overview: Herb&Olive is a lovely restaurant with a modern setting and pretty tasty dishes. The service is pretty good. I would say that this place is on the pricey side but you should definitely consider trying it. However, beware that the appetizers and desserts are not super worth it for their prices. Space: The space was nice with a modern feel and a lot of little plants. They also are a cafe and market too based on what I saw. Fava: We ordered the fava because it was recommended by the waiter and the waiter made it seem like a "must try." It was not spectacular and very expensive for what it was. $12 for dip and pita. We finished the pita but still had leftover dip so when the waiter asked us if we wanted more pita we said yes. We were not aware or notified that it would cost another $2, and there was no mention of this on the menu either. Was pretty disappointed with this dish and don't recommend it. Pasta Garides: Was already leaning towards ordering this but the waiter also recommended this. This was amazing. It was delicious. If you go, I kid you not - you have to order this. It was very heavy however, so if you're looking for something light this might not be it. Try their branzino instead! Solomos (Salmon): This dish was okay but wasn't great. Pan-Seared Branzino: Delicious! Pretty light and healthy. Would recommend. There was also a dessert that the waiter told us was "fresh out of the oven" and he said it was pretty good so we tried it - I'm not sure of the name - but it wasn't all that great and on the sweet side. It was pretty big though for around $12. I don't see the name on the menu.

What an amazing food experience! Brought 2 friends with me and all 3 of us loved everything....authentic greek food done so very well. Don't sleep on this place.

I enjoyed my leisurely dinner on a beautiful early summer Friday. We were able to share a meal, drink some wine and have great conversation without feeling rushed. It was a very enjoyable meal. We ordered a couple of glasses of Greek white wine (I don't remember exactly but it was really good). We ordered from dishes to share. Horiatiki salad is must when getting Greek and they do a solid version here - very fresh veges. The shrimps with orzo was fantastic - the creamy tomato sauce coating perfect risotto left quite an impression. The papoutsakia was a nice nostalgia dish that we enjoyed. The grilled veges side were a perfect accompaniment which I am glad we added. For dessert, we shared the galaktaboureko which was a great version. There was plentiful parking in the back. The only possible drawback that some people might have is that it can be on the pricey side, but it is cheaper than a plane ticket to Greece.

Love the vibe of this place and the food is delicious. We've had all the dips, the chicken limonata, moussaka, short ribs, calamari and falafel and keep coming back to try more bc it's all excellent. Don't be fooled by the side market place, H&O is top shelf Mediterranean food.

Amazing food and service. George is an amazing waiter, great vibes here. Would come back

The food was tasty, but not worth the expensive price for how small the portions were. The ambiance was more "cafe" instead of a restaurant and service was pretty slow despite it being relatively empty.

Beautiful space, enticing menu and gracious service. Thoughtfully created salads, sandwiches, entrees and delightful dips. Special desserts, too!

We love Mediterranean food and this restaurant did not disappoint. The food and service was great, and the space is very modern and inviting. Our waitress was very friendly and offered many great suggestions. Will be back!

I came here for lunch with my mom. It is very pricey for a salad with salmon. It's suppose to be more of a casual, quick take out type place although you can sit and be served. The food was delicious, however, because of the prices, I wouldn't be back. I have eaten out at fine dining places for lunch and didn't even spend this much. The owner was really lovely and spoke with us at the end and heard how we felt about the pricing. The food is all high quality and organic.

Herb & olive is definitely an amazing Greek restaurant. The food is so rich and punched with flavor . Unfortunately I never sat inside to eat I have only ever gotten it delivered via door dash but I can say any time I would def it I would be so happy . My typical meal with chops with mashed potatoes or some times I would get the shrimp with rice . Any time I drive by them the ambiance from outside is really cute , it's decorated really classy and well. There's plenty of street parking so that wouldn't be an issue .

Herb and Olive offered the most delicious and eclectic Greek dishes - gourmet style in a beautiful and elegant environment ! The depth of the cuisine was amazing as was the service . Felt right at home . Highly recommend !

Wow I expected a lot better quality food for what i paid for. The staff was very nice and attentive and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. But the mushroom risotto i ordered was horrible. It was like a soup and the risotto tasted like stale rice instead of actual risotto. The beet salad had beets prepared in overly large chunks that was hard to eat with the salad greens, which were also in large chunks rather than chopped. To top it off the 10dollar baklava was dry...dry! I couldnt believe it. It tasted like frozen dessert that was microwaved.

Great restaurant for Greek and Mediterranean food. They have a nice set up with the front of the store that opens up to let in a nice breeze. There is a small market where you can buy an array of items that won't be found elsewhere. It's great to experience the variety of flavors that they have. The food was really good and nicely flavored. It's a bit more upscale than some other Greek restaurants in Queens and Long Island. The price was a bit high though for what you get. The service was good. The restaurant looks really nice and has nice decor. Parking is street parking out front and on the sides, no parking lot available.

I don't get the hype. Maybe it was the options I ordered? Perhaps I came on an off day? My family and I came here on a Sunday night for dinner. This is a casual eatery with Greek and Middle Eastern fare. When you walk in, the restaurant looks like a mini market with Greek goods, but there's a couple of tables in the back for dining. They also have an outdoor patio. For our appetizers, we ordered the Falafel Sliders and Kefte Sliders. The Falafel Sliders were tasty but the Kefte Sliders were a bit on the dry side and slightly overcooked. For my main course, I ordered the Mini Pita with Pork- comes with French fries on the side. The tzatziki was good but the pork tasted very dry and mediocre. $18 for 2 small gyros also wasn't really worth the price point when you can get a large gyro for the equivalency of $3 in Greece. The menu states that there's smoked paprika inside of the pita, but I couldn't taste any. The French fries were decent though. My mom ordered the Grilled Chicken Breast for her main course, which was also very dry. My sister ordered the Pesto Gnocchi, which was probably the best dish out of everything ordered - had a nice pesto taste. Kudos to the friendly and attentive server. However, I felt as if we got food from a different restaurant than everyone else. Hope they make the food more authentic and flavorful so I could make a return visit.

This place is always a great meal. The interior feels like a mix between a cafe, a grocery store, and a kitchen. My favorite things to try are the lamb kebabs and the galactoburrecho. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

Beautiful open space with a small store in the front. We came with a large group with reservations and the food and service was superb. We had a bunch of apps to share including the Tzatziki, falafel, and cheese croquette. For main, we had the salmon, Konstosouvli (marinated pork skewer) and shared the mushroom risotto. HIGHLY recommend the pork skewer. It's a pretty hefty portion, and it's delicious with the accompanying grilled veggie sides. They also have an extensive wine list but i'm currently not drinking. The host of the party bought us a selection of homemade baked goods from the front of the store and it was super tasty, not too sweet! Will be back!

Really good grilled vegetables! Cooked perfectly! Service was impeccable, I forgot her name, but she wore glasses and was on point with everything! We had the salmon and lamb chops. Loved the lamb chops! Salmon is salmon but it was cooked well. Not a fan of the falafel however, too dry. But overall great place!

I have been coming here for years, and I am surprised that I never left a review. The food here is a little pricey because it is fresh and everything is quality. The decor is clean and minimalistic. The front is like a supermarket and the back is the restaurant. I am totally hooked on this place to get my yogurt, feta cheese, olive oil, and sour cherries

Stopped by for lunch with my mom and sister. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was top notch! We shared the most amazing beet salad and i had the mini pitas pork. The pitas were delicious and the fries were delicious.

A bit pricey but the food, drinks and dessert were good. Service was great, the young waitress had a nice attitude and made great recommendations. Overall the restaurant is really pretty and perfect for a summer evening.

We were running out of gas on the LIE and looking for some hot tea when we chanced upon a culinary oasis called Herb&Olive packed with artisanal Greek cuisine to stay or go. Eileen said it was the best spanakopita she ever tasted. We were delightfully served by Stella, Zoya and George the owner who urged me to try their ambrosial fruit based vinegar. I was glad he did. We came away with excellent olive oil, homemade pastry, organic tahini and some lovely vinegar. They have an intriguing menu for lunch and dinner. Can't wait to go back. The interior is beautifully designed with soaring ceilings. As they say in Chios where George and Stella are from, Poli Kala and then some.

The best vegan spinach pie I have ever had. I was with my mom and she got the regular spinach pie and she claimed the vegan one was much tastier. So thrilled that this business has vegan options. And vegan options that are amazingly tasty. Highly recommend you try this when you drop by. I will definitely be back for more.

The food is delicious and fresh. The place is nicely spaced and the service is attentive. You can call and make a reservation.

We ate here the other night and it was phenomenal. We started with the dip trio and halloumi appetizers followed by the mushroom risotto and mini pita. Everything was delicious. I had a spicy mango margarita that I would order again in a minute. At the end of the meal they brought out little spoons of Greek yogurt with grapes and it was amazing. Can't recommend it highly enough enough.

Great fresh food，people are very friendly will keep revisiting for sure Also very comfortable to take a break over there

I love coming to Herb & Olive for their salads. It's always fresh and delicious. Plus, they have great coffee and desserts. Ambiance is fun and relaxed. Service is always friendly.

Herb&Olive is a cool mix between a mini market and restaurant. Everything looks so nice the minute you walk in. There aren't a lot of tables for the restaurant portion, but it's still very spacious and comfortable. Service was great throughout the entire meal. I came here with friends for a Sunday brunch and everything was delicious. To start, we had the Dip Trio and it came with pita. All the dips were fresh and flavorful and the pita was so fluffy. Next, we got the octopus which came with the Fava spread. Flavors were there, but I personally preferred if the octopus was a little more charred. Anytime I see Veggie Crisps, I must order it. These did not disappoint; they were crispy and paired so well with the tzatziki. For entrees, we also had the pork mini pita and the shrimp pasta. The mini pita was not so mini; it was actually a decent size. It tasted really good and the flavors were all there. The meat was also tender and soft. The pasta texture was just right and the sauce and shrimp were done really well. Overall enjoyed the lunch and I would definitely return.

Nice and love the decorations and high family style tables. Smart move in a smaller space. Food is good. Portion size is extremely small and in the salty side. Server was kept pushing to order more stuff every after politely turned does several attempts from him. But was very friendly. I'd do again

Cute cafe and wonderful service. Love the appetiser dip trio. My go to place for my Greek yogurt straight from Greece - which you can also purchase to bring home.

I visited for lunch with some friends on a Friday afternoon. The service was particularly slow for it being a weekday. We opted for tzatziki with pita as an appetizer; it was very good and tasted fresh! I also got a caramel latte which was decent. There weren't that many options apart from sandwiches and salads. I decided on the chicken sandwich as my entree which came with Haloumi, cucumbers, spinach, and olive paste. The sandwich was pretty underwhelming - it didn't have much flavor and the olive paste overpowered the rest of the sandwich. I'm not a huge fan of olives but I figured since it was a paste it wouldn't be as strong. If you don't like olives I would def avoid it. The french fries were delicious though! The aesthetic and ambiance of the restaurant is nice so I would give it another try, likely for dinner as the menu has more variety.

Such a cute and fresh restaurant! Owner was lovely and team was welcoming. Has great options on the menu and a varied drink menu.

I absolutely love this place! Excellent calamari, falafel, and pita with tzatziki sauce. I do miss their falafel sliders, which they used to serve for lunch with a side of potatoes (I usually switched it up for cucumbers). It is VERY pricey but their excellent food and customer service is worth every penny in my opinion.

What a cute place! Had my birthday dinner here a couple nights ago, and everything was outstanding. I love Greek food and nothing disappointed. The dip trio was to die for, especially their homemade pita. I ordered a "Beautiful Me" prosecco and Curacao drink which was refreshing and vibrant. For dinner I had the strawberry salad and added beets. Everything was so fresh, and the portions were huge. We also ordered the pulled pork and mac and cheese which was so good and so cheesy, and the bifteki, which may have been my second favorite after the dip. The beef had such a good flavor. They have different menus depending on the time you go, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try the sandwiches they have available until 4pm. For dessert I tried the Bougatsa which was so good and HUGE! It came with two huge squares. Our waitress, Aphrodite, was also very nice and attentive, and put together a plate of various Greek desserts and cookies. I left stuffed!! This restaurant also doubles as a Greek grocery. They sell tons of different olive oils, pastries, rice, and various other pantry staples.

Absolutely delicious food and amazing service! Our server George was attentive to our tastes and made us feel so welcome. Made us Mocktails based our our tastes. Both the vegetarians & meat eaters in our party enjoyed delicious mezze & appetizers, and rich main courses. The highlight of the night was the dessert - their signature Galaktoboureko - was fresh out of the oven and perfectly flaky and sweet, plus the orange pie was amazing.

I love this place! Excellent salads and treats to take home. Cocktails are great and staff is amazing. Beautiful concept and imaginative dishes made with excellent quality.

Good place for a classy-casual dine in experience. It has a market place up front with restaurant style seating in the back and at the entrance. Staff was courteous and friendly. We visited the place for a late afternoon brunch on a Saturday, was quite busy with all tables occupied - seemed understaffed/slow to service with one server bussing close to 10 tables. We order the Myzithra (arugula salad with grilled chicken), Shakshuka and a cold brew. Salad and shakshuka were good and I would highly recommend that. The cold brew was ok.

Food is terrific. On the higher end of the price scale but worth every penny. Some of their items they serve you can bring home. Their Greek yogurt is to die for. I can't go back to supermarket Greek yogurt. And their salad dressings are also another nice item to take home.

TLDR: New specialty store in Manhasset that also happens to have a restaurant in the back. Only have been to brunch but an awesome addition to the Manhasset and Great Neck area. Unsure of what to eat, H&O came across the Yelp feed. With the limited reviews, we were unsure what to think but the pictures of the interior looked beautiful. So we went and so glad that we did. The front of the shop is a specialty store. It's very chic inside, kind of what you'd expect from a shop in Manhattan but this is Manhasset. The tables are in the back, we had made a reservation beforehand. There's grab-n-go upfront with an assortment of sandwiches, pastries, etc. I give them props because curated a menu that's Greek-centric yet brunchy enough to be interesting is difficult. We opted for the Fava Dip, a Greek Bowl, a Grilled Cheese and a Kefte Sliders. The Fava Dip was served cold with this toasty slices of bread that were insane. Just the right amount of herbed seasoning and brushed with olive oil. The Greek Bowl was basically a Greek salad with cubed tuna sashimi with a soy sauce vinaigrette. It's not a combination that you'd expect to find but it makes perfect sense.The acidity in the soy compliments the funk of the feta quite nicely. The Grilled Cheese was probably one of the cleaner tasting versions I've had. I personally prefer my grilled cheese full fat and plenty greasy but I enjoyed this one. It was served with a roasted pepper and baby arugula salad, which helped cut through the cheesiness and the truffle spread. The Kefte Sliders were interesting. It was probably the most interesting sandwich on the menu to me. The meat mixture is clearly Mediterranean, the tyrokafteri (spicy cheese) is obviously Greek but the sumac onions had a bit of a Middle Eastern twist. I appreciate the tart taste of the onions with the cheesy red meat. The fries it was served with were these crispy potato round pillows. We got a chance to chat with Julia who's the chef and she was a very pleasant host. She also walked us through the different ingredients and where everything is procured. If you're into that kind of thing, it makes you appreciate all the subtle flavors that make each dish stand out. If you've been to Greece, you'll understand when you taste simple things like the bread or the tomatoes. She also offered us dessert as well. A chocolate baklava bite and a Turkish-style filo pastry. Both were equally delicious. All in all, I loved everything I had. Ironically, after looking through the menus on the website - I feel the Lunch/Dinner probably have stronger offerings. So if I enjoyed brunch, I have a strong feeling I'll love dinner. Looking forward to trying more. I know they're light on reviews but go give it a try. Herb & Olive is one of those hidden gems.

This is such a beautiful space, it's really a pleasure to relax here on a slow afternoon. Food is surprisingly good, we got the shrimp pasta, mushroom risotto, and a salad, everything was great. And the cocktails were super refreshing, perfect for these dog days of summer. The service can be a little on the slow end but we weren't in a rush so that was fine, just something to keep in mind if you have less than an hour to spend.

Solid place to go for a bite! The atmosphere is light and airy, and the front is open to the street. There's a grocery up front and tables in the back. When my friends got there, there was no staff so we had no idea what to do, so after waiting ten minutes, we had to go to the back and ask if we should seat ourselves, which was weird. We got the beet salad and the shakshuka, and I got the almond milk latte. The salad was hearty and had two delicious felafels in it. The shakshuka was good too, just small. My latte was fine, nothing special! My friends got the iced coffees and said they were too bitter. So overall, some ups and downs in a casual, cute neighborhood spot.

A gem in the neighborhood! Fresh ingredients and good portions! Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Try the braised short ribs!!

Firstly, one main thing I notice when I try a new place is their aesthetic. This place is a very cute combo of a winery, cheese deli, coffee shop/cafe. They have really cute light installments and wall paints which makes it a cute place to catch up with a friend or even go on a first date. Walking in, there were a lot of people coming in and going, but not enough that you would feel claustrophobic. I came in for brunch and the food I tried was really good, I stuck with more of the vegetarian options this time around but everything was delicious. The food looked appetizing and tasted good as well. I had the hazelnut pancakes, falafel sliders, grilled cheese, and the bougatsa. Every single dish tasted delicious. The bread in the grilled cheese was herby, the hazelnut spread was warm and runny, and the bougatsa was nicely warm and covered in cinnamon and powdered sugar -NOM! Namely, our server made sure to ask us if we had any nut allergies - it was so thoughtful!

Such a lovely meal at Herb & Olive. Servers were attentive yet didn't rush us. The food was fresh and delicious!!!

As much as I love coming here..there staff has gotten god awful. She told us our waitress would be with us in 10 mins.... As we see all 3 waitress chatting in the back, One of there grandparents came in and automatically survived them within 5 mins of them sitting down. They were laughing and chatting in the back while taking there sweet time to serve us. No good

Highly disorganized. Don't receive confirmed online orders. Missing $20 food from pick up orders.

Have been here a few times, for dinner and most recently for brunch. I love this place because it's got cozy seating in the back of the store, and an actual greek market in the front of the store. While the grocery in the front is expensive, it's to be expected due to the fact that they're specialty items that are imported. I came pre covid and during covid and LOVED the covid precautions they took by opening the store front garage style to ensure there was ample air circulation!! While the dinner service was absolutely fantastic, my friend and I tried a bunch of different items, their brunch was even more impressive!! My sister and I tried the shakshouka, waffle with this amazing hazelnut cream and chocolate, and my personal fave, the kids mac and cheese lol! I dream of this mac and cheese on a daily basis, they used spiral pasta and this amazing concoction of cheeses and just the right amount of crunch from the bread crumbs on top, this is the stuff dreams are made of!!!!!! The waffle was also hands down one of the best waffles I've had, so fluffy and delish and the hazelnut cream was just mind blowing!!! I most def will be back and can't wait to have more mac

I've been wanting to try this place as it keeps popping up on suggested places that I would like. The suggestions were spot on! We came here around lunch time so it was packed. I didn't realize this place was like half restaurant and half Greek store. We found a table to sit right away even though it was busy, so that was great. When you walk in there is a small Greek store where they sell things over the counter or you can pack to go as well. Everything looked delicious, so now I wish I would have taken a picture so that my description could be more clear. The food was pretty good and the portion sizes were very good. We got the pita sampler and I love beets so of course I asked to have a double portion of the beet hummus, it was delicious! We also got the Bifteki and the mushroom risotto. Everything was amazing and didn't take too long to come out. The service was great too! They recommended the pistachio martini, so if you like pistachios, this literally tastes like pistachio ice cream! Would love to come back and sample some other choices in their menu!
