I visited this restaurant 4 months ago and it was phenomenal.My oldest wanted to eat inside because the last time we came we got it to go.1st I want to say the presentation was beautiful it just wasn't enough. They had really small portions. My Greek salad didn't have enough dressing and the seasoning on the chicken was scarce. I'm not sure if inflation prices are effecting this restaurant, if it is, its showing through the food.. My 14 yr old left still hungry. We left disappointed. On another note, the restaurant inside was clean and well kept. I like the options of choosing either plasticware or actual silverware. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I left wanting more and after spending $51.00 we were still hungry.

My visit was 3 June 2022 between lunch & dinner for a takeout. Had the Kefta platter, I was a walk in. Restaurant was very clean, staff were very pleasant, found my favorite bottle of wine. Most staff had at least one glove on their hands, but however while waiting for my food which I was glad the gentleman was not doing my salad, he used his ungloved hand to pick up seasoning with fingers to sprinkle on a salad going to a table. That did not make me feel good about the place if I was not watching my food being made, but I couldn’t see the guy in the kitchen, so I don’t know anyway. Food was good but meat was a little dry to me and I don’t like my grilled veggie very burnt. I think what bothered me the most was the rice. I felt like I was getting season Spanish rice. I expected a different type/style of rice. Maybe I might try this location again, but no rice and a different dish, but I would not go out of my way for it. I have had much better.

Really enjoyed lunch at Olea. Clean, great service, and delicious food. Only thing not captured are the kid’s cheese pizzas.My only complaint was the calamari being slightly overcooked.

Fantastic! Top quality meat, amazing flavor, all around delicious. The rice could use some better flavoring/cooking to taste more fresh/tasty but it was still GREAT. 20/10 highly recommended!

Delicious Food, Vegan Friendly, Peaceful Environment! definitely a hidden gem in Fayetteville.

The salad was beautifully presented but lacked vinaigrette. Olive oil doesn’t make good salad dressing.Their falafel and hummus were good but nothing special. I order both of these frequently at restaurants and most places have better.The menu didn’t appeal to my teen so she ordered a cheese pizza from the kids menu. I appreciate the restaurant allowing that but she said the sauce and cheese were disappointing.Also, this isn’t their fault, but the location is difficult, on a busy corner where left turns are impossible.I paid $30 for disappointing food. There are too many great choices available. I won’t return.

For 12.00 a chiclen wrap and fries. order was called in no tomatos and u can see with burnt onions and 3 mini pieces of chicken. never never again

This is the best Mediterranean restaurant I've been for the last couple years. The staff is friendly, clean room and the food is amazing with good price. I got the trio skewer plate and my husband got the lamb plate. OMG ? I almost got emotional when I tasted the food. All fresh and well made with love and not much waiting time. I can not tell you how the chicken skewer was so juice and tender. I would love to learn how to make it since I live 3 hour away from Fayetteville to have this experience more often. Guys you should try all options. ;)

The food was seasoned so well. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely on the top of the list of places to get a flavorful meal. The atmosphere was really comfortable too.
