Olive Mediterranean Grill - Evanston

Large fresh Mediterranean cuisine for an excellent price. The construction of your own omg plate is a great price with enough options from sharp to mild.

The buy one get one half off deal is amazing if you are eating here with friends. The staff that assisted us were helpful, even allowing me to get half choices of dishes or even getting a third of rice and the other grains they had to offer. The food was amazing and I really do have to say that this restaurant was a hidden gem that I wish I had discovered sooner!

I really enjoy the food, and there is always plenty of space to sit. They are vegetarian-friendly, and there are plenty of opportunities to customize the set combos. The tricky part about this location is that though their staff is always friendly, sometimes they are understaffed so you may have wait a while in line.

Affordable tasty and probably healthy? Getting food is quick here, and their quantity is definitely not bad for a quick lunch. Their falafel is weak though, it's pretty soggy and disintegrated in my hand. The flavor was okay, but it was a tad burnt on top of the lack of form. Otherwise the meal was solid.

It's quick and people are friendly. The food is just average however. It's not bad if you need a bite and want it to be on the healthy side. I would recommend the hummus, chickpea salad, farro, and steak. Do not recommend rice or baba or baked falafel. Husband recommends the Capri salad. But I didn't try it so cannot personally vouche.
