    It is safe to say that this place might be the best greek food I have had outside of Greece. It is a little out of the way if you don't live or work in the deer valley area but I like it so much I am willing to drive out there just to get some. Everything is amazing and reasonably priced. They also have a little market there with some pretty amazing Mediterranean goodies. I have recommended this place to numerous other people and every single person has been beyond impressed and went back. The chicken shawarma plate is my favorite; the chicken is unbelievably flavorful, the jasmine rice is to die for, and the sauce that comes with it is the best part. The plates come with little salads. I've also tried to gyro plate and the lamb and they have been great as well. Honestly, there aren't enough good words to describe this little place, you just have to go and check it out yourself! 10% discount code if you check in on yelp!

    First off what a nice old man. This place seems to haven't fair share of regulars and I know exactly why. We both had the gyros and fries with a Mediterranean salad. The lamb was seasoned with nice spices and wasnt fatty or greasy like a lot of places serve. Good spot for some lunch

    Wow! So this place is now my top favorite place to get real and authentic chicken schwarma and gyro sandwich! This is a small mom and pop mini market along with a simple sit-in restaurant where you can enjoy a quick lunch. I wouldn't know what to buy or suggest from the market since I am unfamiliar with the items available. No doubt in my mind that I was hungry for the food here. I ordered a chicken schwarma sandwich for about $7. You can check in to receive 10% off your order. The staff members were all so kind! That's always a plus in my book. We sat down and the food arrived to our table in about 5-10 minutes for 3 orders. The first order was a typical gyro sandwich plate, which included a Greek salad and fries. The meat was sliced thin, yet each piece was tender and juicy. So delicious! The fries were made well...not too soggy and not too fried. The second order was the chicken schwarma plate, which included salad, Saffron rice, and a pita bread. The salad was well balanced with just enough dressing. I loved the flavor of the sauce that came with the chicken...some type of garlic sauce. The chicken was also juicy and tender. (I'm getting this next time.) Finally, the third order was the chicken schwarma sandwich. Same perfect chicken but wrapped in a pita bread. What i noticed with this chicken gyro sandwich was the added pieces of beets. I have never had it served with beets. But I loved it! All 3 of us loved it! I think it's safe to say that we would definitely come back here again and again! Thanks for making our first experience enjoyable!

    Great little place to stop for lunch and get all your Greek food needs! I had a very delicious Gyro sandwich with baklava. Classic food and the prices/ portions are very reasonable. Don't forget to stop by the shop to get some Turkish delight or middle eastern tea. The owner and staff are so welcoming and friendly!! It seems like they get a ton of regulars and I can see why.

    Delicious chicken schwarma if you're looking for a hot warm meal after a long flight. The staff were friendly and courteous, and gave me great recommendations on what to eat. I loved that the market also had water and other drinks to purchase.

    An ok type of restaurant. Prices are very reasonable. Tried the chicken kabab.. It was very average in taste. Overall a very average review.

    First time to eat here! Wow, what a great find! This is a restaurant and a market that is in a little strip mall/shopping area. The inside is open with plenty of seating. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you when it's done. We ordered a gyro, Greek salad, and the spanikopita. The food came out quickly. It was delicious! Everything was fresh. The dressing for the salad was homemade. The meat on the salad and in the gyro was tender and had just the right amount of seasoning. The gyro was huge. The spanikopita had a flakey crust and went well with our meal. Prices are good. Portion sizes just right. Service was excellent! Quick to take our order and bring our food. Definitely will go back to try other menu items.

    Gyro: Fresh tender meat--maybe not enough tzatzki--but just perfect really. Hummus: Beautifully presented with picked beets, delicious and served with thin quarters of pita. Love these two items and would return again just for these. My partner who ordered a kabob got gristle and fat. Too bad she didn't get what I had. And if you wondered, I think the guy who owns this place is from Jordan.

    Seriously, the most friendly business I have EVER been to. As soon as we walked in we were made to feel like family. The owner started to chum it up w my friend who is also Arabic. They even gave her the 10% discount without using the check in. The food is very international and bursts of flavor. The gyro meet is crispy on the edges, the fries are seasoned well, and the salad was put together with crunchy veggies, feta and balsamic. I really respect the use of real plates, bowls and silverware. But most of all, coming to my table to ask how the food is AND engage in conversation. ALSO, the store has its own grocery marketplace. The store has items you wouldn't typically find in your local grocery store. There is Arabic food, fresh produce and goat milk. I left this experience feeling very cultured and love the fact that we stumbled upon this gem. I don't live on this side of town but any time I am over here, I will be back.

    Lovers of Lamb beware! I must have come after the lunch rush or maybe they could care less about the quality of their lamb. Instead of going for the classic Gyro, especially when I try a new Greek or Middle Eastern restaurant. I ordered the Lamb Kabob, served with a very modest portion of rice with just a small hint of citrus and the Hummus. The first red flag was the lamb was not skewered, it was just a small pile of slightly charred chunks of meat sitting on top of grilled vegetables. The lamb was probably the second worst quality of lamb I have ever tasted. It was tough, lacking any freshness at all, the meat was so questionable that I can only think to myself, I hope I don't get sick from this meal. The sauce, which is apparently supposed to be a complement to the lamb tasted more like a curdled yogurt with a sharp metallic taste. You have a choice of soup or salad and I chose the Lentil soup, a soup this easy shouldn't be as hard as apparently it is for their complete lack of skills; bland, boring, and not enough lentils for my taste, I personally prefer a thicker Lentil soup. I've worked in many kitchens and I will still attest that if a kitchen can make a good soup, the rest will follow in the beautiful quality of what careful planning can do. Back to the drawing board for this lazy kitchen. The best part was the Hummus, beautiful presentation with sliced beets and a nice subtle hint of garlic lingering in the background. Overall, the service was great and very friendly, but friendly service is not enough to invoke me to return and I will more than likely skip this place and try somewhere else for a real lamb kabob.

    We go to this restaurant/market a lot for the following reasons: Super nice couple that make you feel like long-time friends. Awesome food - especially recommend the hummus, falafel, gyros, split pea soup and chicken kabobs. Great neighborhood store to shop for Arabic food supplies and grab a yummy bite to eat.

    Great spot for lunch! Small family ran market with excellent gyros, kabobs, and much more. don't forget to try the baklava!

  • G C.

    I will agree! absolute hidden gem. Friendly staff, clean place, reasonable prices. The small mart/restaurant has plenty of seating. They also advertise they now sell breakfast, I'm curious. Has a Gyro and Pistachio baklava. The Gyro uses well proportion pita bread and good amount of meat. I don't like other places that use thicker bread and less meat giving you the illusion of a good sandwich. One of the owners guaranteed I would be back for the Pistachio baklava alone... I'm sold. One of the best I've had, anywhere

  • Faith T.

    The hubby and wife who run this place are most adorable and the food is delicious. The highlight for me here is the hummus. I am obsessed with it and actually will order the appetizer and then get some to go for the week. I won't get hummus from the grocery store anymore. So delicious. Their pita sandwiches are pretty good as well as the plates.

    Best Mediterranean Market I've ever been to!! Very friendly staff and great fast service! Staff is very helpful with any questions you have. The market is fully stocked with all Greek, Lebanese, and Mediterranean food. The grill and food is very authentic and yummy. This market and grill is very clean also! I will continue to always go to this grill and market. Thank you Olive Tree so happy I found you!

  • Jason S.

    Stopped by for lunch today and ordered the Chicken Shawarma. Food is very flavorful and the Shawarma had just the right balance of yellow curry! I would definitely stop by again. My only criticism would be the price for what you get seems a little off. I was happy to not feel stuffed after eating, but I also wasn't full. For the price, I would suggest maybe adding a second Shawarma/Gyro.

  • Michelle M.

    Just stumbled upon this place, tucked away in a small strip mall in a business area behind a hotel. Stopped in real quick and bought hummus, tabbouleh and pita. The hummus is yummy! Very tangy...tabbouleh is great too. The pita is packaged elsewhere, but very fresh and delish. This super casual restaurant has a small market with tons of nuts, hard to find middle eastern canned favorites and a small freezer section with phyllo and it looked like meat pies etc. Their deli area wasn't opened for lunch yet, as I was there in the morning, but the menu looks like it has a great variety such as Kibbei, soups, salads,gyros, kabobs, shawarma, burgers...and they have a kids menu with burgers, dogs, chicken tenders and gyros. Looking forward to eating lunch here soon. Seems like a really nice mom and pop middle eastern market and grill.

    OMG their falafel are sooooo delicious ! They are moist fresh and crispy. You you can tell how good a mediterranean place is by their falafel. The pita was nice, the veggies were crisp and fresh. The sauce was creamy and enhanced the falafel. Perfect vegan pita wrap. Will return anytime I get a chance.

  • Mike S.

    I walked over here to get lunch from my hotel. Very friendly staff. I felt like a regular customer before my first order. I'm not Greek but really enjoy the food and I think this is some of the best falafel sandwiches and gyros sandwiches I have ever had. The falafel had a great texture with no bitterness at all. The gyros sandwich was full of meat seasoned very well with just the right amount of sauce. I will definitely return whenever I'm in this area. I look forward to trying their kabobs next time.

  • Adam S.

    This is a great health lunch spot! Also there is a mini Greek market inside so if you need any groceries you can kill two birds with one stone. The chicken kabob, Greek salad and the falafel are my go to. The gyros are great as well but a little too heavy for lunch for me. If you want a great Greek salad with chicken have them put chicken kabob meat on a Greek salad. Amazing!!

  • Joe B.

    I love this place! The owners are super sweet, the food is always delicious! I love the market where you can buy everything you need to make your own hummus or you can buy their deliciously made hummus! So many reasons to try this place if you have not already!

  • Raja M.

    Love this place! They have been catering dinners, parties, and work events for us for years. Food, service, prices are amazing. Did I mention the food is amazing? They offer authentic Middle Eastern food and a small grocery to purchase items hard to find in regular grocery stores. They always deliver the orders on time no matter how big or small - 10 people or 300 people. We also frequent there for lunch.

    Ordered Greek salad with gyro meat and WOW! Interesting place, restaurant and market combo. Neat to walk around and browse Mediterranean food while waiting for your order. Family run establishment, casual atmosphere, and excellent food. I will be back.

  • Susan V.

    So far, one visit, one large Greek Salad with Gyro meat on it. Delicious!! The Tzatiki sauce was tangy, creamy and fresh tasting. The salad was well made--perfect sizing on the chop with flavorful salad dressing. I can't wait to have it again. I'm looking forward to trying other items reviewers have mentioned but in the meantime, I'm a super fan.

    Cute little place- friendly owner, very accommodating. We have falafel and it was great! Better than most of the stuff I could find in NYC. Can't wait to try the gyros next time.

    I spent two weeks in beautiful Phoenix at the end of Feb/ Beginning of March and work put me up in the Hilton Happy Valley Garden Inn. I was exhausted after my first day on the new job and didn't feel like going out, so I ordered some take out from the Mediterranean place next to the hotel. The owners and people who work there are all super sweet and the food... Oh man, is it delicious! My ex-husbands family is from Lebanon and all love to cook an eat, so I know what real Middle Eastern food should taste like, and I have to say, this is the real deal! I have tried most of the menu and my top recommendations are Kibbeh (seriously, the best I've ever had. You MUST try it!), tabbouleh (also made to perfection), the Vegetarian platter #1 with the delicious Spinach Pie, Falafel (flavorful and moist on the inside, cripsy on the outside with perfect texture), the very best Hummus I have ever tasted (and I have tasted so much hummus), pita and a delicious tahini with onion and spices mixed in. The Pistachio Baklava is amazing too, but I don't recommend trying it because you will dream about it and have to fight the urge to order it daily. -Great Food -Very reasonably priced -Very generous portions -FriendlyService My only negative feedback is that they close at 7, so there were days I wanted to order take out, but didn't finish up at work in time to make it. Now I want Kibbeh and Tabooli from Olive Tree but I'm stuck here in rainy Washington. Boo!

    We were in a late meeting and needed to order lunch for delivery. We called and the woman was super friendly. Ordered the chicken shawerma plate. The chicken and rice had tons of flavor. The garlic sauce is fresh and adds to the flavor without overpowering the chicken flavor. The delivery guy was super sweet!

  • Eric G.

    Great food, friendly owners. Definitely recommend if you are looking for Mediterranean style food. Gyros are awesome, but they have healthy options like Greek Salad plain or with chicken. They offer good lunch specials and offer dine-in or carryout. They are family owned and closed Sundays. Tony and Julie are the owners. Stop in and say Hi.

  • Kelly V.

    This is definitely a hidden neighborhood gem. It reminds me of Haji Baba in Tempe - part grocery store, part delicious eats. The gentleman behind the counter (presumably the owner?) was extremely friendly and welcoming. We ordered the chicken kabobs and the vegetarian platter which included hummus, falafel and the eggplant dip which I won't even attempt to spell. The chicken was juicy, flavorful and delicious. The peppers that accompanied it were cooked to perfection as well. The hummus was tahini-rich which makes it a winner for me. They top it with a spicy green sauce which I thought was an interesting twist but the husband did not care for it too much. The falafel and eggplant dip were delicious as well. We ended our meal with baklava. I don't know if it's made in house (we think maybe not) but either way, it's delicious. If you need to stock up on tahini, this is the place to do it. It's fun to poke around in the grocery area while waiting for your food. Wonderful experience and we will defiitely be back!

    Chicken kabob was bland and chicken was a little dry. My friend's chicken Shwarma tasted like Indian food not Shwarma. Not typical middle eastern/Greek food. Hummus and dolmades were good though.

  • Dione G.

    My family and I ate here on 9/11/2014 for the first time. I will cut to the chase and just say this place is delicious. I ordered the kebabs and my brother got the Gyro Plate with an appetizer hummus/pita. The flavors are wonderful and the salad dressing is oh so tasty. The owners were nice and lets just say we will be back to eat here again. I will be bringing my own container to buy that wonderful dressing for home :)

    LOVE THIS PLACE! :) The food is amazing and the market is a great place to browse while waiting for your order. Our first visit the older couple working the counter were so sweet and helpful. They offered us samples of everything - baklava, lentil soup, hummus, etc. The hummus is addicting, I could eat it daily.

    I am going to pay for this meal, but I don't care. I will run a few extra miles because it was so worth it. My shawarma chicken was to die for. The chicken was marinated to perfection. I also had a side of baba ganoush, omg, so delicious. I also ended up eating half of my hubby's lentil soup. I wish I had enough space for the spanakopita. I had the baklava "to go" for later. It didn't even make it to I 17. It was freaking delicious, the honey and pistachios were so prevalent in the taste. I am still dreaming about it. I also shopped for a few items at the market. What a cool place. Can't wait to take the hike back to the west side.

    As always used Yelp to explore new places to eat. This was near our house so we decided to give it a try. Nothing fancy as it was located within a Halal market near a indoor swim school, but had plenty of seats. We ordered gyro sandwish, chicken shawarma, tabouli salad, and babaganous. Everthing was made fresh and you can really taste it. Will be going back and try the kofta plate.

    OUTSTANDING semi quick Very Casual not fancy Mid East/ Greek style Grill. I've been pleased with everything I tried here over the years and the Olive Tree Market & Grill is really at the TOPS for a Grill of it's kind and it's a must stop to kind of place if you are in the area. The falafels are among the best in the valley and the sauces and dips are outstanding. They bake at least one of the breads in house I think it was the pitas. The salad here is the BEST I've had at any of these kind of places by a long shot. Kabobs are delicious and I like their shawerma more than others I've tried. Portions are large and prices are low. The food has always been fresh. They sell some produce and hard to find jarred and dry items and lots of variety of bulgur including the whole grain style. The owners are exceptionally nice and sweet you are always made to feel very welcome here. A Gem in this area for sure. 4.5 stars

    Excelent Falafel - check Great hummus - check Awesome spanakopita - check **Warning** Beware that veggie doesn't always mean good for you. While I normally try to skip the cabs, I just couldn't stop stuffing myself with those perfect triangles of warm pita covered with their garlic pepper hummus; it was just the right amount of spice with a more than right amount of awesome! I don't eat falafel too often, but this was definitely the most interesting and tasty falafel I have had. Cover it with whatever that creamy sauce was and you're in vegan junk food heaven! If you're wondering how the spanakopita (spinach pie) was, you just can't go wrong with this option. I was plesantly surprised when the spinach didn't taste like you're average cafeteria bitter blah, whatever-ness like I was half expecting. They perfectly topped the spinach with fresh feta - which was some of the better feta I've had in a while. Covered with flaky layers of filo dough and baked til perfection --- mmm its so good. Olive Tree is super authentic with my only regret being that I didn't try the Gyro, I have a personal goal to find the valley's best gyro and have had one at close to 10 - 14 places thus far. For some reason, on my only visit here I was just feeling vegetarian, go figure. :/ I don't imagine I will be back too soon, since I hail from CenPho and this place is like 15 miles away, but it will definitely be a destination if I'm within a few miles around mealtime!

    The falafel was outstanding, savory, well-seasoned, moist. I've had falafel in middle eastern countries and this is absolutely on par. It's certainly the best I've had in Phoenix. The service was friendly and expedient. The restaurant was clean. Great value for the food and service.

  • Emilie P.

    Hidden gem in a business area where few good restaurants exist. The Jordanian owners are always very nice and friendly. I love both vegetarian platters (mostly because I appreciate the variety of falafel, baba, hummus, and/or spanakopita), but when in a carnivorous mood, the basic gyro platter is also yummy, though nothing out of the ordinary. The grocery part of the store is fantastic if you're a foodie like me, always intrigued by items not found in the megamart. Affordable Mediterranean staples, like tahini, and decent produce prices too (though quality/availability is hit or miss). Cons: Tabbouli could have more flavor (more lemon, less bulgar, maybe?), service can be slow if you are in a hurry during lunch. Overall, worth a trip if you're in the mood for something more authentic in this area of suburban, crappy chain restaurants.

    Finally had a chance to go here for lunch; I drive by it every day on my way to work. A group of us went here for an end of year lunch meeting. I think the pricing is very fair with the amount of food you receive. You order at the counter and they have a pick up area; although when we went they just brought the food direct to our table. Nice choices plus they have a mini-market which is a good place to find more cultural items you don't find in stardard grocery stores. Plenty of seating in the place if you have a larger group too; I'd say in total the place can seat up to 100 ppl. The staff was very friendly and quickly corrected a couple mis-orders. I will go back again soon; I predict my 4 stars will change to 5-star after a couple more visits.

  • Atulya B.

    I must admit that I'm a regular to this place and I usually stick to a side of Falafel and Hummus. Not that their gyros and sandwiches are bad or ordinary, it's just that you can easily tell that their Falafel and Hummus are freshly made and very savory. I've tried most of the items on the menu and the gyro sandwich, which everyone seems to like here, comes a close second to the falafel. I wouldn't rate their Chicken Shwarema very high since I've had better ones - especially at Biaz Market - but the other items on the menu like the Baklava or their Spinach pie are very good indeed. The Olive Tree and Market is run by a Jordanian duo who are very friendly, if not sometimes subservient, and in general give this place a very nice and homely vibe. Should checkout definitely.

    I've been to this place a few times in the past two years and stopped in again today for a quick lunch. The lady at the register says, "haven't seen you in a while!" I was taken aback that she remembered me! I'm happy to say that I really like this little family-run market/deli and their fantastic selection of foreign groceries. While I wait for my order I love looking at their strange and wonderful selection of canned and dried goods, most especially their sweets! Very good customer service and the little man with glasses is seemingly always sprightly and comical. I get their Gyros and it's always fresh and tasty. I'm sure I'll be back many more times.

  • Jaime S.

    If you're looking for authentic, family style Middle Eastern food and market, I think you're going to have a hard time finding better than The Olive Tree. It's run by a Jordanian family that couldn't be nicer or more on top of their food game. They're making cheeses, curing olives, baking baklava...all the good stuff you want from a specialty market. The market itself is clean, well stocked and appears to have solid turnaround on their products. The grill can't be beat...the best kebab I've had (in the US). Everything is super fresh and made to order. The tabouli is awesome! Get the combo plate - choice of any three meats with basmati rice, salad, pita and garlic sauce. The breakfast options are great too, for all you early birds. Stop searching for good Greek/Mid-East/Kebab, you've found the right place!

    I've been to the Olive Tree Mediterranean Market and Grill a couple of times now for lunch. This is small Mediterranean market with a restaurant on the side. This review is for the grill area. On my last visit I ordered and Gyros combo, which was their featured item of the day at $6.99 for a Gryos, fries and drink which was posted outside. I asked if I could get the combo but substitute the fries for a small salad? She said "yes, but there is an additional charge of $3"... Since a really wanted a side salad and not fries I paid the extra charge. I decided to order just the Gyros sandwich and a small side salad. She stated "that will be $11.45, did you want a drink with that? I stated "I thought a drink came it", she stated "no, that's an additional charge"... This place is way too expensive for the quality of food you get when compared to any of the Greek restaurants around Phoenix. The upside to this somewhat expensive lunch was the food was very good. My Gyros was just OK, but my Greek salad was very good! It was also served on a glass dish with real flatware which is a plus for me.

  • Cyndi K.

    The shawarma was good; the meat was tender, and the slices of pickled beets were a nice surprise. I also liked the blend of spices they used; I asked for it to be spicy, and was definitely given what I wanted. The baba ganoush, on the other hand, was flavorless, and had an odd texture. I threw about half of it away, and I love baba ganoush. I also ordered a piece of bakalava, which was tiny, and nothing to write home about. The owner was very nice, and friendly, and the service at the counter was quick. I was happy to be able to buy labne, a favorite food from when I lived in the Middle East, though I would have liked fresh pita to go with it, which I am able to get at my usual restaurant/market.

    I don't know what planet the other reviewers are from, but I just got back from the Olive Tree Market and Grill and it was TERRIBLE. My lunch partner had the "classic" gyro combo and I had the chicken "schwarma" combo. There isn't anything good to say about this place. Neither of us finished our lunches. The fries were oversalted, the cold chicken schwarma was pre-cooked, sliced chicken breast with the WORST tzatziki sauce. His gyro was not fresh, it was room temperature, the meat was below average and the produce wasn't fit for rodents, all of it very sub-par. The place was dirty, grimy and just overall disgusting. That's what we get for trying a different Mediteranean place.

    This place is absolutely delicious! I was raised on Mediterranean food, so I'm extremely picky... so when I took that first bite of falafel, I was in heaven! It was then followed by some of the most spectacular hummus I've ever experienced (that uses exceptional olive oil), and the baklava... scrumptious! Along with the food being as great as it is, the service is wonderful! The lovely people there were so friendly and wonderful! This is definitely going to be my go-to place!

    I was hungry for Gyro. I checked Yelp and saw a place I had not heard of before. It is a nice market and restaurant. I wanted to sample a couple of menu items of my typical Mediterranean cravings. Gyro - Lamb and beef and grilled. Decent portion too. Hummus was very good. Grape leaves are really good. The filling is seasoned well like they should be. Not the tasteless wrapped in a grape leaf. I could make a meal of these alone. I am glad I found them.

    Wow the baba was silky smooth with a very pleasing eggplant flavor, and the hummus & falafel were nice as well. Good presentation and flavors in the food. This is really a market with a little cafe/grill that has a few tables with chairs, so unless it's outside the rush dining hours I would just plan on getting it to go. Prices are reasonable as well. Only negative was the wait time for the food, even when it wasn't very busy. But I suppose good things come...

    Very nice place with authentic Mediterranean food. The food is served on real plates (not in plastics baskets or paper plates) and I think that's a nice touch and better for the environment. The owners are very charming and will offer samples if you are unsure about what to order.

    Five times I have been here and have yet to be disappointed. The food is reasonably priced, always served hot, and the service is great.There is always an elderly gentleman there when I go, and his infectiously good attitude almost makes my day. The gyros combo with fries and a drink at $6.99 is a good deal. I love soup and their homemade lentil soup is very good. The place reminds me of cozy neighborhood joints growing up in Cleveland. An Old World kind of feel. They make you feel like old friends.

    Totally digging this place. So I've had a gyro, a greek salad, and the chicken kabobs and every single one of them were EXCELLENT. I highly recommend those chicken kabobs. I love how they have a market right next to it, complete with the hookah selection. :)

    Great place! Breakfast lunch and dinner. It has a small grocery for you to get middle eastern delights. They do some of there own pastries and it was delicious. We had something that came with honey on top and served warm. I'm unsure of the spelling but highly recommend it!

    We were hoping to try out Z's deli, in the same plaza - but arrived late and they were closed. This place was open, so we walked in. It was about 20 minutes before closing, and I'm pretty sure the family (seems like a "family run joint") was just about to break down the kitchen and pack it in. I ordered the gyros plate, Athena went with the kebabs. Beef, to be exact. Our dinners both came with soup or salad. If I recall, there were 3, maybe 4, types of salad and one soup to choose from. We both opted for Greek salads. The owner (I assume he was the owner) took our order and called it out to the cook. Athena conversed with him a bit, putting in an order for some baklava to go, when we left, while I strolled the cheese section of the market. The owner asked if we would like our salads first, and we said yes. I sat down at one of the nine tables, while Athena perused an aisle or two. In addition to delivering our salads to the table, the owner retrieved silverware and napkins for us from the trays located by the drink machine that I was filling drinks at. The brewed ice tea container had already been drained, or was at least empty, and the owner offered to brew fresh for us! We politely declined the offer and opted for soft drinks. No reason to brew fresh for two people when you are trying to close, but so nice to offer! The salads were ultra tasty, with a sprinkling of sheep's milk feta atop a crisp green salad with kalamatas, romas, cukes and plenty of sliced pepperoncini (I'm going to say they were Italian, not Greek ). The salads were perfectly dressed and ultra tasty. Our plates arrived, mine with thick fries cooked in peanut oil, hers with perfectly cooked Basmati rice and a nice yellow color to it. Her kebabs were already removed from the sticks, and all the veggies and steak were charred very nicely. The Tahini sauce was pretty decent. My Gyros (traditional lamb/beef combo) were cooked very well, with ultra thin slices off the spit. Tzatziki sauce was nice and tangy, I'd guess made with Greek yogurt as opposed to regular yogurt or the sour cream others try to pass off! The fries were a bit on the soft side, but nicely cut and flavorful. As we ate, the cashier closed down the market station and tidied up. The owner continued to stop by and make sure everything was good. It was! He was very friendly, and seemed genuinely concerned with our satisfaction. We assured him we would be back to eat, and to do some shopping, as we had discussed the many types of oils available (you gotta try the avocado oil with lime - along with plenty of other oils available by the silverware). Since they were ready to close, we didn't think now would be the time to peruse the many varieties of dry/canned goods available, or the fresh cheeses. There was an aisle I didn't even go down, so that will be a surprise when we return, which we will. I give this place kudos, and I think it will fill a niche market for groceries to be sure. It should do well - even with 2 other delis in the plaza. Each seems to cater to a slightly different deli crowd. Definitely check it out. Solid 4 stars on food freshness, and quality. Another star for great service and a nice, clean European grocery.

    An excellent place to get Greek food. Love the Gyros plates as well as the Baklava. So glad that we have an authentic Greek restaurant/market so close to home. Most definitely a regular eatery for us.

  • Bob J.

    Returned for a quick lunch and got the classic gyro sandwich with fries. Nice portion size. Fries were not over cooked - done just right. Extra yogurt sauce in a little plastic cup in the to-go box was a nice and welcome touch. Have a selection of unusual drinks and I had a Jaritto (?) mango soda from Mexico. Tasty - although my colleagues kept teasy me about drinking a beer! You could tell it was Friday! Also, I tried a few of the little plastic wrapped candies they have in bins near the front of the store. The nougat with pistachio nuts in it was very good. The one which is orange with a date center looked better but I was disappointed in the flavor intensity. Still tasty though.

  • Nikki H.

    This beats out Greek Pita (which is right up the street) any day of the week. The gyro meat is flavorful and not dry, the spinach pie is flaky and delicious, and the baklava is AWESOME. The family who owns it are so friendly and nice, it's a pleasure every time we go there. My only regret is that they had been there almost 2 years before I went! Love it!

    I'm upgrading Olive Tree to 5 stars. This place just rules it. Tony and Juliet are super friendly and extremely talented cooks. I want them to live at my house and cook all my meals. The shawarma, hummus, tabbouleh, gyros, falafel, foul, soup, kifta....everything is incredible. They have this spicy sauce called "Shatta" (lol) for sale in the market section. I think it's just red peppers & olive oil, but it's pretty much my new favorite thing.

  • Justin V.

    BAKLAVA!!! There BAKLAVA is amazing and they have like 5 kinds which is crazy because I thought there was only one kind(its the walnut one there u will understand if u go!). Anyway aside from that all the food Is great from gyros to cheeseburgers! You won't be disappointed, and don't let the market part with odd unlabled things intimidate you, its def worth checking out !

    MMM Just finished lunch here and already writing my review. I gave them a 3 star not because the food wasn't delicious, but because the overall experience. My dad and I got there a few minutes after 12. We ordered our food and decided to sit outside since it was such a lovely day out and it was very clammy inside. About 15mins later, I was told that they were out of spinach pies in my vegetarian platter. I was really bummed, since the platter consisted of pitas, hummus, falafel and a spinach pie. So another 15mins goes by before our food finally came out. It was a bit frustrating waiting 30mins when you have an hour for lunch and everyone elses food came out before ours. They ended up replacing the spinach pie with some herb covered pitas. Which could have been great, if they weren't so hard. The falafel was amazing, some of the best I've ever had. The hummus was also really good and comes in a dish with a great presentation, just wish the pitas weren't so hard. I look forward to going back.

    I have been to Olive Tree Mediterranean Market several times, yet I have only had a few items on their menu because they are sooo good! The babaganoush, hummus, and falafel platter is really good. My friend and I generally get it with an extra side of falafel and it is more than enough to feed two. The falafel, hands down, is the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is nice as well. The owners are pleasant and they recognize us, which is a plus. The market is pretty interesting as well.

    The food at Olive Tree is good, not my favorite Gyro place, but I would go again. The real gem here is their service. I had a 25.00 gift certificate from Restaraunts.com . Normally you have to dine in, but after a 10 hour day at work I just wanted to go home and guzzle food in my jammies. The owner said that was ok and that made me happy from the start. It is family owned, and extremely authentic. The owner works with his wife and kids cook and run the store. The store sells classic mediterranean goods, canned olives, jars of tahini, greek candy, cheese, etc... Since we had to spend 35.00, my boyfriend and I prepared for a shmorgas board of food that lasted us for days. We had: Falafel - delicious. The pitas are different then most places as they are very thin, almost like naan. I prefer the thicker version. The falafel itself was spiced perfectly and the pickled veggies they use in all of their sandwiches are delicous, crunchy and set them apart from their counterparts. The tzatziki sauce was good, not my fave, that goes to Chicago Gyro on 7th and Union. It was thick and had nice slices of cucumber in it. And CHEAP! $4.00 for a falafel sandwich. Chicken and beef shawarma - the chicken was ok, but the beef was great, which I'm not a big beef gyro fan. Greek salad - very fresh and tasty. Hummus - very good, homemade with a spicy relish on top. Spinach pie - yuck, but just a person preference here. Not a fan. I definetly recommend giving Olive tree a try.

    Excellent spot for lunch if you work in the area. This is a great alternative to The same old chain restaurants, crazy packed and overpriced Norterra spots. They always have lunch specials and you get a lot of food for a very reasonable price. It is a grocery store/cafe and the owners are very nice. Has all the normal mediterranean/middle eastern items that one would except along with some other basic grocery items. They open early so I can grab some fruit in the morning and they stay late till 7 or 8pm so i can get some shisha or hookah coals on my way home. Chicken schwarma plate and gyro plate are my favorite so far. Plus get the spicy sauce, it's awesome!

  • Amanda D.

    This is the real deal, totally authentic and so so tasty. A casual place with about 15 or so tables inside a quaint market that you can peruse while you food is being made, I saw some past reviewers complain about how long it took to get your food, while yes there is a wait it is because your meal is being made on the spot when you order it, anyway walking through the market is a great way to spend that wait. Hummus was good and the Greek salad is my new favorite, we also split the combo plate, the chicken shwarma was hands down the best I have ever had and should be dipped in the oh so amazing tazilki sauce, The chicken kabob should not be missed, husband had gyros and he was moaning a little inappropriately while eating them. The guy that owns is not only totally genuine but probably one of the nicest men on the planet.

  • Dave H.

    This is a nice discovery on the North Phoenix landscape. They have a good variety of mediterranean options. I think everything should be about one dollar cheaper since it's just over the counter service. However, they use real plates and silverware, which is a definite plus. The food is very good. I eat here all the time during the work day and I'm never disappointed. I get the soups a lot, which are always good. The hummus is really good, too. I'm a fan of the chicken shawarma and shish kabob as well. The adjoining market is a nice addition and can make the trip more worthwhile. I've been very happy with the veggie platters. I think vegetarians will find plenty of options either with the platters or by building up sides. I'll continue to frequent this place because I work close by and this is far more interesting than most of the food in the area. They never let me down.

    We love The Olive Tree! We call it 'the grill' We eat there at least once a week - my littlest one has swim lessons right next door. Both my picky eaters love eating there! We love the chicken kabobs and the chicken shwarma(sp?). Family ran, great food we love it!

    I am a big fan of this place. We first went when we were moving nearby and the food was great. I have been satisfied every time we go. I like that it is a small family-owned restaurant and they are always very nice. They are very nice to our kids when we bring them in, and help them with their selections. I think this is a great place to take the family and it is not very expensive.

    I was awakened from my foodie revery of perfectly seasoned babaganooj on home-made bread by an eerie orgasmic humming. I looked up and saw Ken, his eyes glazed over, humming to his glass of iced Turkish coffee, a delight of his own creation. When Tony, the owner (along with his wife Juliette) came over to investigate, he decided he had to have one too. This took place at Olive Tree Mediterranean Market and Grill in North Phoenix. Unlike most small groceries, Olive Tree is bright, clean and cheerful. The shelves are stocked with fascinating Middle Eastern delights - jars of olives and tahini, an interesting assortment of cheeses, sweet treats that I'd never seen before. You order at the counter from a good size selection of ethnic dishes, plus a few typical American items. Food is then brought to your table in a sectioned off area. I had discovered Olive Tree on Restaurant.com . Since we had to order $35 of food from the menu, we ended up with quite an array of dishes. Now that I think of it, the humming started with the above-mentioned baba. This roasted, pureed eggplant concoction is found in most Middle Eastern restaurants, with varying results. It can be very flat tasting if too much tahini (sesame paste) is mixed in, or it may be over-spiced. This baba was beautiful, with all the tastes dancing in our mouths. Julliette makes her own bread to go with it. The texture is very different from pita (even the pita served here was selected with great care), crustier and chewy. A special of the day was stuffed cabbage. About the same size and shape as the stuffed grape leaves (which were delicious), these are lighter and lemony good - a real treat. We shared a combination kebab plate with chicken, kefta, and shish-kebab skewers. This paled in comparison to the other dishes, since the meat was on the dry side. The baklava was quite good, it wasn't soggy with syrup, so the layers of phyllo dough made a satisfyingly crunchy noise. After lunch we did a little shopping. We got some delicious feta cheese and something called Chicago cheese, which reminded me of mozzarella. I could have bought more, but Ken wisely herded me out the door.

    First, I would like to say that this is a deli in a Mediterranean market. Second, the food at the Olive Tree is as good as or better than all of the Mediterranean sitdown restaurants I have ever eaten. (I really don't know why the previous reviews were so harsh. This food is good.) Because we had to order $50 worth of food with our restaurant.com gift certificate from a deli, we ordered a lot of food. Of the items that we tried, all were outstanding. The Olive Tree used the best ingredients in all of the foods we ate. We asked the woman in charge if we could have our Gyro and Philly Cheesesteak (okay it wasn't all Mediterranean) while we were waiting for the rest of our food to cook. She immediately turned and asked the cook to make those two items first. (The man and woman who were in charge were very friendly and professional.) We sat at the tables and enjoyed our first two servings. We knew right away that we were in for something special. After we got the rest of our food, we drove home and we ate our kebbi and spinach pie and I ate the gyro I ordered (we ordered two gyros). Delicious. The bread on the spinach pie was freshly baked and the ingredients in all of the items were fresh and perfectly balanced. (I have been to many Mediterranean delis looking for a great gyro only to be disappointed by a Sysco or similar style gyro.) I don't know if the meat on this gyro were made in house but it was excellent. Later that night, we had the meat pie with sauce, fettouch salad, shish kabob and some pita bread with the jalepeno hummus. Outstanding (even though the food had been reheated). Unfortunately, the pita was stale by the time we got to it, but the flavors were there. I just wish I had room in my stomach to eat the pita while it was still fresh. We still have more food to eat tomorrow and probably the next day. Do yourself a favor before going to the restaurant if you are going to use the restaurant.com GC. Get some friends together, go to restaurant's website olivetreeaz.com and look at the menu. Order ahead and get the food to go. Get it home quickly and eat. This is really great food and it needs to be eaten as soon as possible once it comes off the grill. If you are taking a trip north to Flag or the Grand Canyon, make it a point to stop here and fill up before you start your journey. It is only a mile or so off of 17 and it is worth the drive. The Olive Tree is a deli and the food is at deli prices. The food is an outstanding value. Eat at the Olive Tree. Your palate will thank you and your pocket book will thank you. Postscript: The market has a huge selection of mediterranean foods and spices at very good prices.

    Found this place on accident a few days ago while driving out to Vegas. Loved it so much, we ate here a second time a few days later on our way back from Vegas. Everything we had (shish kabob, chicken shawarma and kifta kabob) was bursting with exotic flavors. Folks, this place is the real deal, NOT immitation middle Eastern cuisine. If I didn't live 60 miles away, I'd eat here almost every day!!! I will be making some special road trips out to Olive Tree in the near future, ITS THAT GOOD!!!

    (I would give them a 5, but they are new and need some time before they rate a 5.) My husband is from Greece, well Crete, actually. We stumbled on this place on the way home one day and thank goodness we did! We didn't get a chance to eat in the deli (although the owner kept bringing us samples to try), but we did shop in the market. It is a very new store, so the shelves aren't full yet, they're trying to figure out what the customers want. We felt the selection was very good--canned goods, dried beans, fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen meats, and of course olives and feta and desserts. The prices are very reasonable. My husband says they're better than anywhere he's seen. We got a leg of lamb and it was the most tasty lamb I've had in a long time. I'm a fan of sheep feta, whether French or Bulgarian. I think we got the Bulgarian this time. Everything we got (except the Baklava-type desserts, I wasn't so crazy about them, and I love dessert!!) The owner let us try their hummus, tabouli, and falafal -- all were fantastic!! The owner even showed us his catalog and said he would special order anything we wanted! Super friendly, clean, good menu in the cafe, can't wait to try it! This is a fantastic jewel of a place on Pinnacle Peak & 19th Ave, just south of Norterra.

    BEST FALAFELS EVER! My parents and I have had falafels all around the world and I think these here are actually the best I've ever had. They're not just your typical lettuce, falafel, and tahini sauce. The falafels weren't dry and made fresh to order, there was great flavorful homemade sauces and relishes, and even the salad inside was full of lettuce, tomato, and homemade pickled vegetables. Amazing!!! Flavorful, spicy, and an amazing deal - they were huge and only 3.99! The market has a great selection of Middle Eastern groceries and is very clean. The owners treat you like you are their personal guests in their house and love to talk to you about the food, culture, and everything else...very sweet people! It's definitely not the fanciest place but delicious, authentic, flavorful, loving food and this place will definitely become a regular for us!
