Love this Cava. I always bring my friends who visit from Florida here and they always want to come back! Love that they label all their vegan and gluten free options and keep veggies away from meat.

“Very good consistently! Gluten free? Yes!” We eat here often and are never disappointed. Finding a gluten free meal is easy enough and I am confident of the kitchens ability to prevent cross contamination. I typically eat the salads with a grilled fish added.

This is a gluten free review. Helpful staff. Asked what the gluten free options are and was shown a list. There are a LOT of gluten free options here. It’s actually most of the menu. I do have to say that although there are only three main dining options, the menu is slightly confusing and has to be explained. Which proteins can be chosen for a box? What can be chosen for a plate? It would help if the menu was revamped. I ordered The Box with chicken kabob, fries, salad, and added rice for an extra $1. I appreciate that my chicken kabob was cooked to order. Took about 10 minutes to receive my meal, but it was worth the wait. The sauces were so flavorful and tied all the food together beautifully. I was really surprised at how good the food here actually is. The Kebab Shop also has a rewards program, where after 10 visits you can earn $10 off. The quality of the food is excellent. I can’t imagine giving this place less than 5 stars. Will be back very soon to try some other options. Looking forward to the falafel.

This is a gluten-free review. After my Israel trip earlier this year, I came home craving falafels. So glad I found Olives Branch Express. My go-to dish is the falafel plate. The falafels are tasty. They do have an interesting after-taste that I just can't pinpoint. It's not bad, but I could live without it. They are usually served on a bed of basmati rice. I always get it with hummus and a side salad. The combination of falafel, basmati rice, hummus, red onion, and cilantro create an explosion of flavors in my mouth that keep me coming back for more. So glad I found this place and that it's so close to home.
