Olivit Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Texas

This place is consistently amazing. The people are always friendly and accommodating and are familiar faces. The atmosphere is quiet, homey, and comfortable, with no loud music or loud TV, just a TV on quiet with sports on. The food is just heavenly, I barely know where to begin! I always start with an order of Spicy hummus and a greek salad. Both are extremely flavorful and with fresh ingredients, especially the tomatoes. I don't even like chunks of tomato but I happily eat these with the fabulous dressing. I have had the Tzatziki as well, which was tasty, if a bit simple (I tend to like big bold flavors, personal preference). The Creamy Chicken Tekka is a winner when it comes to big and bold flavors. It is tangy and rich, and such an interesting flavor profile, not something I could recreate at home. Highly recommend, we get it every time now. I also enjoyed the lamb kebab platter in the past. The tomatoes and I think the rice are seasoned with sumac, which I also really enjoy as it's an uncommon flavor to come across. My boyfriend had never tried Mediterranean food before coming here after I'd liked it my first time, and now we both want to come as often as possible! Prices are average in my opinion and when you factor in leftovers you get a great deal. The female server we get each time is so sweet and offers fresh pita often, even replaces the less fresh pita when you go to take food home!! I can't say enough...

Discussing dirty and extremely dirty unprofessional staff, NEVER AGAIN, i did not know how far it was but OK if you really are craving different food, we ordered 4 exact same dish plus 1 big plate from their special menu, as soon as we got it , my employee asked if we ordered totally different? I said no why ? Then I looked , every single one of them was messed up then I looked inside of every single Gyros, they all were mixed up from the left overs that should been thrown away, and the last item I couldn't even believe that Magets were crawling in the meat , and worms in the salad, we almost throw up , I asked for the owner , but they were not around , then I asked to see the management, it was a tall low class non educated person, he was the cook as well ( FYI we did see him outside smoking before we walked in ) anyway he refused to talk to us, so we decide to leave n not to order any other food , fear of what's coming up, and they still wanted to charge us for it, I said OK I'll pay for it and I want our food back on the table as well, so we can call health department Then they were trying to call the cops to arrest us, lol 1 of the my employees spouse is the FED agent , she told them that she was right there if they want to press any charges ,,, Unbelievable so unprofessional and dirty , How did they even get...

I ate at this restaurant for years and the last 4 times I've went they messed up the food really bad and in the exact same way and now I've given up hope they will ever return to being a good restaurant.

Their chicken tekka was one of my favorite meals for years, I would go twice a week and either eat in or pickup the order and would bring friends there and everything was great.... Until about a year ago I went to pick up my order and it tasted off. There was a very different after taste like dirty dish water or something. At first I just blamed myself, but then I went back the next week and well well well it still tastes like weird cleaner or soap is mixed in with the food. I gave them a month off and went back for it again and again it tasted liek industrial bullsht. Finally I went about a month ago so this would be about a year in between to give them time to improve and no.... They seem to have become sloppy/lazy/don't care about doing things the right way which is pathetic to say the least as this is people's food that is being contaminated...

So I sadly do not recommend this restaurant anymore. The prices are sky high for sloppy food that is made in a poorly maintained kitchen. Quite the opposite of what I would have...
