Olive Cafe, LLC

This was our first taste of Portland, and wow—did it ever set the bar high! If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean/Lebanese cuisine, this place is a must. I ordered the lamb gyro and cleaned the plate. The naan was incredibly soft, and the fries? Absolutely stole the show. Maybe it was because we hadn’t eaten all day, but these were hands down the best fries we've ever had. You could tell they were hand-cut and made with care—we genuinely regretted not ordering a second batch. Rey was handling all the tables like a pro and made us feel so welcome. Great food, great service.

We had the Greek salad, lamb pizza, and Muhammara app. Everything was delicious. This was easily our top meal on our trip to Portland and Bar harbor. 10/10

Incredible vegan options! My new favorite place. I can’t believe it took me so long to try. The staff is incredibly welcoming and the food is some of the best I’ve had in Portland. I can’t wait to go back!

This Mediterranean / Lebanese restaurant is situated in a perfect location on Commercial Street. The decor was simple, and the service was friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and tasted ok but not as good as other Mediterranean / Lebanese / Turkish restaurants we dined in.

we both got shawarma bowls (haddock and chicken) and an order of sweet potato fries. they were both so delicious!! food came fast, and wow it was amazing. great portion for the price, food was fresh and so yum!! the guy working there was also so funny and kind! definitely recommend!!

Really loved our first visit! We've lived in Maine and never tried this place but will definitely return. We particularly liked the Muhammara appetizer, the fries, fried cauliflower and rhe chicken shawarma. Large portions and fast service.

What a cool place with amazing food and awesome people! The hummus and lamb pita were amazing! So much flavor. Our crew was on a food crawl and we all agreed that olive cafe won the day! Cannot wait to go back and try more!

Gotta say the FALAFEL was the BEST we've ever had! Moist and delicious - excellent seasonings. And the HUMMUS was just delightful (and we do know our hummus)! We will be back to try the FRIED KIBBEH!
