Olive Tree Restaurant

Usually When they ask me what you miss most back home? I say the FOOD 😅, but after I tried the middle eastern food at Olive tree restaurant, I think my answer has changed... I will start talking about the vegetarian plate, My aunt  was the owner of a falafel place and once she tasted the falafel there she said this is truly a delicious  falafel and absolutely loved it❤, the grape leaves were so good and its one of my favorite dishes, the tabouleh was amazing and it reflected the true taste of Lebanon and Syria. And for all this time I was craving Mansaf... finally!! I tasted the Original Mansaf there, the sourry yogurt not thick nor salty, just the perfect blend with the delicious  yellow rice, the taste of the traditional Jordanian/Palestinian Friday 🥰. we enjoyed every bite of that truly amazing food, we also decided to have frequent catering on upcoming  gatherings and events from this restaurant. Let's move to the next dish which was the kabsek 😋 I can feel the taste of it each time I see the picture, the meat was like a crown at the top of the rice, it was cooked perfectly full of the tasty middle eastern spices💕 . The next dish which was Sayadeyah, the fish was cooked then fried I think, but what I am sure about was the taste 😋 the best seafood dish. Oh, I was about to forget the Frekeh Soup, it reminded me of my grandmother soup, the flavor of the fresh wheat. This restaurant is highly recommended, it's really worth a try, it's my favorite middle eastern restaurant, and you will thank me once you give it a try. My mouth got watery just by remembering the taste! 🤤

Found this gem few years ago and returned on a recent trip to Anaheim. It is as great as I remember. If you are looking for home cooked Palestinian/Mediterranean/middle eastern food this is the place for you. The owner is a sweet, kind man who is passionate about cooking his favorite food and shares it with everyone. He cooks from the heart and takes pride in his dishes. My favorite is the lamb with the maklouba rice. The portions are huge. If you're coming here, bring your appetite and bring your family and friends.

Nice clean location Tasty food ... I ordered Beef Shawarma Rap It was great test...But it is Pricy a little bit. I didnt like the grease smell " cooking oil" inside, it was clear...so I took my meal out side...Thats why I rate 4 stars. I gave 4 stars. Note to owner: You may fix the cooking oil smell inside to satisfy the customers.

Went here for their iftar buffet and I have to say this has been the best Ramadan iftar buffets so far in terms of variety and taste. They had so many dishes, like 20+. There is plenty of seating inside and out. Smokers can sit in the outside patio. The owners and staff are super friendly.

The old location was much better and cozier. The owner used to be there and welcome everyone and made sure that you get good food and service. The food was great and the prices were great. After moving to the new location, I went few times and and never saw the owner. I ordered six menu items, but only two were good. The prices are much higher, which is understandable if the quality of stayed the same.

I literally love olive tree this is my favorite restaurant by far. I come here for any and ever occasion it’s so spacious and the owner is literally one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. In addition the door is fantastic they really do a good job! I love olive tree (: Here are just a few dishes!

It's fantastic! The food are impeccably delicious. That lamb is perfectly done. Not gamy. Flavorful. And that rice! I wanna learn it's recipe, and forget about white rice! The almond garnish is... almonds to the next level (I might be partial to that, I love almonds). Our waiter for the night was friendly, welcoming, and patient.

Great food. The portion was amazing for what you pay. My husband was very happy with the lamb, the waitress said it's their most popular dish.
