Employees were very friendly! Food was not great. Chicken shawarma did not taste at all like shawarma. The kibbe was the worst offense, though. Legitimately tasted like a churro filled with meat.

This was my first time ever ordering from Olive Branch and me and my Mother ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! The food was flavorful but not salty, fresh and HOT! I highly recommend this place and give them a 10⭐️

The service is okay but the food is below average. Fries are not fresh, wraps leak/has no flavor and the bread isnt toasted at all whatsoever, Taboule tastes nothing like taboule and besides its not even fresh at all. Im very dissapointed. I wonder if the cook is actually middle eastern..

Tasty Chicken shawarma wrap! Although I think they gave me a chicken kabob chicken wrap because the chicken wasn’t thin. I tried their mint lemonade, not too sweet which was nice. Overall, it was soo good and flavorful!

Very good from all angles ! Shish Tawouk was juicy and balanced. Garlic sauce is decent. One of the better Lebanese in this area.

Enjoyed their Falafel wrap with a side of fries today. The wrap is quite big and I shared it with my wife. It was freshly prepared with all the veggies, falafel, and dressing. Fries were also made to order; they were somewhat bland. We will be visiting again to try out their vegetarian dishes.

Chicken was UNDER cooked, salad looked nothing like the pics they advertised. I was charged for extra pita and did not get extra pita. I bought a soda while I waited for my food and they double charged me! I didn’t notice until this morning so now I really feel like I was ripped off! I love supporting family owned restaurants but I can’t justify supporting this business. Also the cashier (chubby white guy) needs help with his customer service or find a different job outside of the service industry, because he is not friendly. That’s coming from a woman who felt like he talked to me like a child with a condescending tone. In every aspect, this establishment can do better! Or they will be gone by next year

Outstanding Lebanese/Mediterranean food. Probably the best baba ghanoush I have ever had. The hummus is amazing too with the Lebanese style that I love so much. The tabouli was amazing too. I didn't try any of the meat/rice plates, but I anticipate they are great as this place definitely knows how to make Lebanese style Mediterranean food. My only suggestion I would have is to have a menu option for a dips/salad sampler. Something like Pita Grill's Veggie Plate. Outstanding food and I am assuming it was the order helping me was super friendly. Highly recommend.

We past by here during our vacation. Great Lebanese food . The chicken shawarma was amazing. I even spoke with the owner who was super nice . Would sure come back on our next visit to California

Amazing Lebanese food!!! One of the best I have eaten on the west coast. Kudos for keeping it authentic and delicious, as it is supposed to be. ??
