Olives Mediterranean Grill

Mediterranean food is our top go to for a special dinner out and we have our tried and true favorites. Olive's goes on that list. We started with a baba ghanouj that was a little taste of heaven. Our server shared that it was a family recipe and that it was different than most. This pretty mm much wipes out all other competitors! They were happy to send a plate of sliced and well seasoned fresh cucumbers so that I could eat gluten free. Our main courses were gyro and beef souvlaki and the meats were seasoned, and cooked perfectly and served with a melt in your mouth buttery saffron rice. The traditional accompanying salads were fresh with just enough dressing that was packed with seasoning. Our only regret is that we live several hundred miles away!

I’m so thankful to have this restaurant so closeby! I have Celiac Disease (extreme gluten intolerance). Because of that, I can only eat out (safely) at a handful of restaurants in the DFW area, and Olives is one of them! I have eaten here 5 times now and have never gotten sick! The staff take all necessary precautions to make sure that my food is prepared away from any gluten-containing foods without cross contact- and they do so with a smile on their face like it’s no big deal (even though I used to work in restaurants and I KNOW that it is!!) The best part is - the food is incredibly flavorful and just delicious!! Real food with real flavor. I’ll be back again and again! Plus, it’s BYOB!!
