Olive Cafe

If you love Mediterranean food, you will love Olive Cafe. We had a sampler plate that was amazing. It was Tabouli, Baba, and Hummus served with pita bread.. All of it was really fresh and so, so good. My husband had a beef shawarma wrap. He said all of it brought back childhood memories, since he grew up on this food. This is a must try if you love Middle Eastern food.

Never disappointed when we come here. The food is amazing and the service top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant.

You came to Portland for oysters and lobsters, right? Are you tired of the wait times in oyster and lobster places? Do you want food, which is just good and healthy? Stop by, you won’t regret it. Fast, delicious and very friendly!

The food itself ranged from decent to really good, so that's not too bad. The waitress we had was very friendly, but she was the only one working the floor in the whole restaurant. She did the best she could, but it's impossible for one person to keep up during lunch rush. We were not in a hurry, but even still it was a bit of downer to the atmosphere and overall rating.

Drove up to Portland from Boston for the day and wanted to grab some lunch. There are so many amazing options in the area and the Olive Cafe definitely deserves to be in that category. It is a small place but not cramped. We were there on an off time so seating was plentiful. But it’s a restaurant so it’s about the food. The food was simply awesome. Very fresh. The olive plate was tasty and the shawarmas were awesome. Prices were reasonable too. The waitress was awesome as well - she was very personable and gave us some great tips where to visit during our short stay. We took her suggestions and had a great day! If your in the area definitely check out this place! Yum.
