OLOVE GREEK KITCHEN

Huzzah! A Greek place that is actually great for people with allergies! There are lots of gluten free, dairy free, vegan and/or vegetarian options not listed on their website, but are on a printed menu in the restaurant. Mind you, the graphics that tell you what's what are tiny and faint, so it's a bit hard to read or take a photo of in low lighting. Everything is made in the restaurant, so they can actually tell you what the ingredients are, and the food is great. Nice atmosphere and lighting, and the owner is very friendly. I went with a group and the service was a bit slow when it came to taking our drink order and bringing drinks around, considering there weren't many other tables, but overall the experience was lovely! I only wish their allergy-free options were listed on their website, to make ordering take out easier. Having so many options is overwhelming, lol. I had the Imam Biyaldi and the Bourekakia, and having a phyllo-like rice pastry was such a treat. Will be back for sure.

I have been going to various incarnations of what I lovingly refer to as 'Irene and Nick's' for 35 years or so. The food has always been great, and the service, excellent. This latest version has a really sleek, modern interior, and the menu has a diverse choice of items, including various gluten friendly options. There are two items that simply blew us away in the past few months: the hummus, and the fig ice cream with pomegranate sauce. Just excellent. I will keep going back.
