The Olives Branch Fine Lebanese Cuisine

Great place but the kebab was so dry.

Gotta try their baklava ice cream. It is just something else.

The cuisine here was a journey through a tapestry of flavors and textures that are as delightful to the palate as they are kind to the planet. The first "Koushary" Egyptian dish included a composition of rice and pasta crowned with golden-brown onions and chickpeas. It was a blend of textures and earthy flavors. The rice was cooked to perfection, each grain separate and infused with subtle spices, while the pasta provided a comforting softness, and the crispy onions added a sweet caramelized note. Accompanied by a side of tangy sauce, each bite was a celebration of balance and taste. The second "Vegan" plate was a vibrant mosaic of Lebanese staples. The falafel balls were a deep golden brown, with a satisfyingly crunchy exterior giving way to a moist, herb-infused interior that was the epitome of the perfect falafel—flavorful, hearty, and utterly irresistible. Hummus, smooth and creamy, served as a luxurious base for the falafel, inviting diners to swoop in for the perfect scoop. Accompanying this was a fresh and colorful medley of pickled vegetables and a robust salad, their crispness and tang cutting through the richness of the dishes. The tahini sauce, a creamy and nutty complement, was the ideal finisher, binding all elements of the plate together. The last dish was a chef customized spicy potatoes with caramelized onions topped off with a spicy kicker. Each dish captured both the essence of Lebanese and Egyptian cuisines. A very good choice for plant based options. Vegetarian options: Great vegan options.

Love this place. Perfect service and very good quality food. Definitely recommend

I love the chicken shawarma entree here! One of my favorite places to get takeout. The beef and lamb shawarma is also good.

Falafel was good as was the lentil soup. Vegetarian options: Some dishes can be modified for vegetarians.

May need some music to elevate the vibe. Service and food were great.
