Olive - New Orleans

Best falafel I’ve ever had!! You should definitely try it! Chicken shawarma is also really good!!

Excellent Mediterranean cuisine. I had the beef kabob's.

Loved the food. Vegetarian and traditional Mediterranean options avail. Booth comfortable too. I look forward to coming back.Vegetarian options: #1 mixed appetizer excellent grape leaves flavor and lentil soup excellent

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.

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
