Wonderful Mediterranean Food

I visited the restaurant last night and it was amazing. I was a little uncomfortable picking my own table (not used to it) but it was wonderful food with amazing flavors. If you are wanting to try something new, this would be the place to try.

If your on the West side of Columbus or passing through on route 70 you must stop in. The food is OUTSTANDING, drive right passed all the chain restaurants on Hilliard-Rome rd and go to Olive Tree. You will not be disappointed.
YUMMY

I love The Olive Tree and it has become one of my favorite places to eat or to order takeout. The service is wonderful and the food... OMG. So good. I haven't ordered anything that I wasn't completely happy with. My favorites are anything they have that is spicy, including the recent addition of the fire fries. I get cravings for them. Overall you just can't miss at this place. The food is terrific, the service is friendly and the prices are really good for the portions that you get.
Fabulous Food!

Terrific food, including the best hummus and baba ghanoush ever! I went with a large group, and everyone kept saying, "This is so good!" Finally, I said, "Is there anyone whose food is not fabulous?" and no one responded. Friendly service, light-filled space, delicious food, low prices. What a deal!
- Pros: Best hummus and baba ghanoush ever!
Hidden Treasure Found in Columbus Ohio

This is a small restaurant with only a few tables and a very intimate atmosphere, especially after the sun goes down, and this place has it all. The owners (David and Tammy) are wonderfully nice and really make an effort to stop at every table, especially if they see a new face. The staff are friendly and helpful and all seem happy to work in this great place. The food smells great as soon as you walk in the door.
All this is great, but what about the food? This little gem of an establishment has a large menu selection with a lot of variety. Some of the items are completely original creations of the owners and some are traditional dishes with personal flair. With such a small staff and such a large menu, it would be easy to assume that there might be only a few gems among a sea of mediocrity, but this is not so. Each and every dish that David and his staff prepares is amazing. We have had the opportunity to try more than half of the vegetarian (which are mostly vegan) dishes (of which there are a large variety) and David NEVER misses. And the non-vegetarian dishes are equally as amazing according to our friends. Simply put this place has AMAZING FOOD! We even order some to take home for the next day and it is still great then.
We have taken our kids and they loved everything from the pita to the mushroom barley soup, the machmusa to the mujadara, the falafel to the hummus, the baba ganouj to the Veggiterranean pizza. And if you love baklava, this is the place to get it. Did I mention the Pita? PITA! My personal favorite is the matmucha:sweet, tangy and spicy on the warm pita: it is a mouthful of awesome (our son put it this way).
If you are looking for something new, try this place, you will be in love immediately. If you love Mediterranean food, you must try this place, you will not be disappointed. This is our new favorite restaurant and we are taking our friends this weekend.
