This place was awesome! I've had lunch here twice and both were outstanding! The service was excellent ( great job to Bruno) and the whole staff was on point and quite nice. I had the gyro plate, so delicious, the wife had the veggie mousaka the first time and a shrimp gyro special the second visit. You can see by how busy they are that they are doing things right! Can't wait to return

Only given them four stars because every time I go there the silverware in the plates or my glasses dirty. But the food is fresh it's not a long wait and I love the atmosphere it's really intimate. The staff is very nice and friendly. I love everything on the menu especially the new things they have. The prices are great considering I have a big family and that is something that I look for. Mom is definitely going to get full. A portion awesome

I'm disappointed to see that the owner has rude review responses to some of the people people that post of their review on here.
However, when we went, we had great customer service and the food was good, especially for being in the woodlands area where there is not much competition for halal Greek for.
As long as they keep halal food a lot of food I will continue to come back...although the food did take longer than normal to come out, so perhaps in the future I will do take out.

I would give it 5 stars as it is one of our favorite restaurants, but I feel that right now it is unsafe with the pandemic raging again. Wait staff and kitchen staff are not wearing masks. Kitchen staff are not wearing gloves consistently. I will say that some staff had masks, but it must be optional. I saw many without these precautions. The idea that someone with Covid could be breathing on my food and touching it does not inspire confidence.

Why 4 stars? Because our to-go dinner definitely intrigues me enough to dine-in next time.

My wife was in the area and picked up our dinner to bring home. I fully appreciate that when eating a meal at home, 30 minutes after it was made, definitely takes a little something away from the quality. But even with that hurdle, we still really enjoyed our meal.
I ordered the gyro sandwich and a Greek Salad. My only complaint is that I wish the Greek fries had a bunch of feta and vinegar piled on them, as they were probably the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of. The gyro and

Can't believe I didn't post a review the first time I came here. The food is super yummy and the staff is very attentive. I had the chicken souvlaki, it came with rice and it comes with a side of your choice I got a side Greek salad. The food is super yummy, fresh with the perfect seasoning. When I work in this area I make sure to stop here. You won't be disappointed, highly recommend.

BEWARE. Read the "not recommended" reviews that echo my review and the nasty response from the owner (photo below). This owner is NASTY. After posting my HONEST review, "Toula," posted a scathing nasty comment that I was just trying to get a free meal. Listen, "Toula," I didn't ask for a free anything or a discount. I just asked your waiter if that what was your moussaka always looked like. He said, "no," and took it upon himself to bring the matter to your attention. Instead of correcting it and apologizing or trying to speak to me civilly, your response

The first time we came it was late one Saturday. We had just missed the belly dancing. We saw families in the parking lot so this is something we want to try to make one day. I got family friendly vibes right away. You can tell they had just had a busy evening based on the amount of servers and how they were all cleaning. But that didn't take away from our service. Our server gave great recommendations. We had the flaming cheese and pita bread. Even my picky eater who swears he doesn't like cheese ate it. My toddler had a burger and it looked really good. I ate Gyro meat and salad

There is a lot to be said about this restaurant. All in all, I would give this place a 3.5 out of 5 with a round up to 4 because of great service. If you like ambiance and atmosphere, this is a place for you.
I did have Mediterranean folk in the building, and the place was packed for lunch. I did hear Spanish speakers in the kitchen... which they could have been from Spain...but I doubt it. I prefer people from the actual region to fix the food, but I think enough balance of regional folks happened. You hear them fixing and fussing about food the entire time you are eating. I like that. You are

I've been to The Olive Oil Restaurant twice. Never a disappointment.
The souvlaki has been consistently tender, seasoned to perfection and moist.
I haven't tried everything on the menu. But, I've only been in town 10 months!
Having visited Greece (2019), I was very happy with the coffee!
REGARDING THE SERVICE: Hopefully you'll get Stephen. He was delightful! Also, the pace is in line with the authentic Greek (Mediterranean) vibe. Nothing was rushed, everyone was courteous and the food was hot and fresh

I heard about The Olive Oil restaurant from a co-worker of mine. He told us all about the belly dancing, the music, and plate throwing. And of course the food. I'm a sucker for Greek/Middle Eastern food, so I really wanted to go.
So I went on a Wednesday night, and tried them out. The Greek Lager is a tasty beer, and went well with the octopus appetizer. I ordered the Athena special for its variety and inclusion of lamb. Our server was very attentive, and earned every dollar of his tip.
The food was magnificent, and well portioned. I made sure to eat some bread in the beginning because I

First time visiting and we WILL be back. We were wanting something "different and out of our comfort box" so we decided to give the folks at The Olive Oil a try. We called when leaving Montgomery just to make sure they were open and went ahead and made reservations so we knew we would have a table. The hostess was very sweet and sat us immediately. We chose the Bekri Meze as our appetizer so we could sample a little of it all. The Fried Kalamari was crunchy and cooked perfectly. The Keftdedes were simply delicious, so flavorful. Of course the hummus and Pita was awesome as well. About

This local restaurant in Spring doesn't disappoint. Out of the other Mediterranean restaurants nearby, this is the best.
I've been here once for lunch, which is usually busy during the workweek. Most of the time, I come here for dinner with my family. Recently, since the pandemic, I've ordered twice for delivery.
Garlic bread rolls - Hot, fresh rolls seasoned with garlic, salt, and oregano. Yum.
Fried zucchini and eggplant - This appetizer can be ordered as one or the other, but I like to do half and half. The breading is crispy, flavorful, and is sprinkled with parmesan. You
