As usual, social media is overrated when it comes to places like this! Let's start with the falafel:0/10 – it was obviously made from a package that can be found in any supermarket. Then, the stuffed grape leaves – they tasted straight out of a can, so was the hummus! It was gross!

I have been to this little gem twice with my family and both times we loved our experience. The staff are very friendly and respectful and the lady who is also the owner is very sweet and caring. She makes sure the customers are well taken care of. Coming to the food, they have authentic Mediterranean food. Always fresh and delicious. To me and my family they deserve a 10 ⭐️. The prices are very reasonable and the food portions are generous. I have nothing bad to say about them. Please give them a try if you are in the area and looking for halal, authentic Mediterranean food.

Ordered lunch today from OLE today - very pleased with my meal. Everything was super fresh and delicious. Very tasty food. Portions were great too. I will definitely have to go visit them in person.

We had amazing food. The portions were large definitely 2 people can eat a dish from here if you are a moderate eater. We ordered falafel platter which was authentic. I have been trying to find a proper falafel place since I have had a lot in middle east and this one is very flavorful and Shish taouk chicken was good but a little over cooked. Tried rose latte & pistachio latte those were good as well. They have a separate menu for brunch on Saturdays which is a must try & hard to get reservations make sure to call in advance & book. Service was very good. Will definitely visit again.

I saw a clip about this cafe on instagram, and we decided to try it out. The food and lattes were nice, and prices were reasonable. I really enjoyed the falafel and pistachio latte. The blueberry lavender pancakes were light and fluffy. I will say that the lavender flavor is almost too subtle, but at least no one will think it tastes like a spray cleaner! Lol The hummus was good too!

So good! I had breakfast here the other day -- the pistachio challah French toast and the rose water coffee are amazing. I basically licked the plate clean! The service is great, and it's affordable. I ended up grabbing a rose lemonade on the way out, which was really refreshing. I can't wait to go back to check out their lunch menu! Edit: I got lunch here today - the chicken shawarma platter, hot peppermint chocolate, baklava, and Lebanese mint lemonade were all amazing, as well! The staff are great - shout-out to Brenda and a young gentleman who was training there the other day whose name I don't know. They were so welcoming! Will definitely be coming back when I'm next in Arlington:).

I’ve eaten here several times for breakfast, lunch & dinner snd it is outstanding food! We have had the sampler appetizer, shakshuka, Greek salad, Gyro platter & shawarma platter. All were delicious! The Lebanese mint lemonade is SO refreshing and delicious! I could easily eat here 4-5 times a week.

This place is a hidden gem. Everything is great but it's worth saying that I generally do not like falafel. It's typically dry but theirs is amazing! I had falafel as part of my breakfast plate, but my husband and I still ordered a side of falafel because I knew I would be sad about having to share mine alone. They're that good. (And go for the pistachio latte. You won't regret it!) Service is lovely too.
