Olive Tree Mediterranean Bistro

Tonight I received a free turkey dinner from the Olive Tree Mediterranean Restaurant for Christmas. It arrived hot and was so yummy. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy and green and yellow beans. It made my Christmas special and I appreciate everyone who helped to make this happen. I wish you all a great Holiday Season. Thank you!

I recently dined at Olive Tree Restaurant and had an exceptional experience. The Lamb Roast Entree was a standout, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The Spanakopita was equally delightful, with a perfect balance of flakiness and savory filling. The staff were truly awesome, providing attentive and friendly service. I highly recommend Olive Tree Bistro and is worth a visit.

Made fresh in front of you
Delicious and fast.
We drive out of our way from Cambridge

We usually order a couple of times a month and thoroughly enjoy it, but tonight's order was an absolute disaster. Soggy salad, charred and black souvlaki, and calamari so terribly overcooked we literally couldn't chew through it and ended up throwing it out. Awful kitchen quality control when it didn't seem busy at all.

The menus options are an excellent value. The food quality overall is very pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant. If your in Guelph and you haven’t tried their Chicken soulvaki…. Yet? Your missing out! Thanks -Mr. Atilla for the excellent Customer service. Keep up the good work!

Disgusting customer service they better have to improve that, the taste of food doesn’t worth the price I paid. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

This use to be the best Souvlaki not just in town but as another customer said - in Canada, HOWEVER I don’t know if it’s a change in owner or maybe it’s the night crew (usually come in around 8-11pm) but
The rice has zero taste
The salad is lacking- use to come with pickled turnips, black and green olives.

Tonight was the third time in a row, I’ve been unsatisfied and I can’t help but say

You’ve changed man!

I can’t hype your spot no more

Had an amazing catering from Atilla and Olive Tree team!

Our guests loved the food, it was delicious, delivered on time, and made for a great event.

Recommend to all in Guelph!

Our lab ordered our team Christmas lunch from the great people at Olive Tree. It was a late order for 18 people and we each wanted a different item from the menu. Talking with Atilla he was so accommodating. We sent our order via email and Atilla delivered it to us himself. The food was so delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We will definitely be ordering again from Olive Tree. It was great that they put each person's name on their meal so we could hand out each person's lunch. Thanks Atilla and the team at Olive Tree.

We waited over 2 hours for our delivery and finally canceled. After 60 minutes we called and asked how long it would be. Was told they had trouble with the online order system and it would be delivered in 15 minutes. After another hour with no delivery I called again and canceled. Will never bother again. Going with another local Greek restaurant next time. I must note the guy on phone said my online order had not gone through but he ended up with our email address to send a message to us and on the phone I did not provide it. Clearly it was an error and we were just forgotten. Not even an offer of a discount was offered. Bad bad customer service.

Placed an online order and they missed to include full order while picked up the order. The staff were not that friendly. But the Souvlaki is tasty. The rating is for their unacceptable customer service.

Used to be really good, now serves poor tasting food (overcooked calamari, low quality chicken shawarma) and the wait times are insane. They told me 30m, I come after 30 and wait another 45.

Wish this place could return to its former self, then I'd reconsider a visit.

Ordered 70$ worth of food for my family and I. The Rice from Olive Tree Tasted funny and I found the whole rice dish was FULL of MOLD! The smell was horrific and Spoiled our appetite. An employee apologized and dropped off another side of rice (that Still smelled rotten) and said that their kitchen has no AC and that the food could go bad faster? A kitchen with no AC is not properly up to code not to mention that it looks dirty and old. Ended up throwing out all the food as I didn’t want to take any chances. I will be contacting Public Health department to investigate further. I will not be going back as I don’t want food poisoning!

The service was awful, I was waiting one hour and after this period of time the gave me wrong order.and the kitchen was not clean enough. I am sad of getting food of this place by this price and time I have spent.

They Messed up my order and said they couldn't fix it and I would have to pay again. Stay away from this place!

Olive tree used to be my favourite restaurant to eat at. But in the past couple of months the quality has gone down so much. It’s so sad to see my go to restaurant go downhill.

This place USED to have the BEST pizza, shawarma, wings, and more in guelph. When I took people there they would always be surprised.

Last year it took a turn for the worse, on top of the extremely long wait times (1h+ when we were told 15m) that have been going on for 5 years, the food quality has gone down so much it's no longer even passable. Truly a disgrace how badly the quality has gone down.

By far the best Greek place in Guelph. Great value for the money and always tastes super fresh. The Greek salad is unreal and is a must try for sure!

The food here is average but they have a wide variety of options for everyone. The portions are very filling! Lamb and beef Kabobs are always a little chewy but the rice is perfect. Very consistent restaurant. Lamb shake was tender but not seasoned, it also tasted oddly sweet.

Daughter lives in Guelf.came to visit me in Niagara region. She spoke so highly of place we had to make a 3 hour round trip to get an order.wow.the best I've had and such large portions we had left overs the next day Next time she visits I'm going to ask her to get another take out order. Chicken and lamb souvlaki to die for.

Very kind staff, food was amazing. Best Greek food I have ever had for a reasonable price. Must try!

Great food, and friendly staff, but they are ALWAYS late with your food, sometimes by more than 30 minutes. Would give them 5 stars if they could just give you your food when they promised they would. Also very annoying that they prioritize Skip the Dishes and Uber Eats orders over customers who order from their website. Waiting for your late order becomes even more annoying when 3 delivery drivers come and leave while you are waiting.

Great spot for Greek take out in the south end.
Reasonably priced and a real nice size portion.
Will be back

Their chicken shawarma is always full of fat and cartilage. I ordered the shawarma poutine and it literally had more fat than chicken. It was disgusting. I wont be ordering anymore.

Took the lamb souvlaki. Taste was ok I guess. But the reason of my low rating was the price of food compared to the portion served. 18.4$ is super-extravagant for a plate containing a skewer with 6 small pieces of meat, some salad, a boiled small potato, and some rice. There are better Mediterranean options in Guelph that serves better, more portions for 18$.

Satisfactory. Ordered their fish, souvlaki and wrap. Very salty but consumable. There was just one person working that day doing all the cooking and taking orders in person and over the phone so that might explain the dishes being over salted. On the phone, the person mentioned all the meats served there are halal however there was no halal certification visible at the shop so caveat emptor.

I gave this place a try several times for the past 3 years and my honest opinion their food is not good especially their chicken shawarma. They do not take the fat off and the slime in your mouth from the chicken fat ruined it for me i will never go back there spending my moneynfor anfew bites and being dissapointed. The flies in the place and md uncleaniness from the last visit on top of it just did it for me.

Tried a chicken entree today (sunday11pm) via Ubereats and thoroughly enjoyed the food. It was absolutely delicious & good value for the price aswell.
(Thank you Blueshirt guy/cook)

This is literally the best Greek food in guelph hands down, LOVE the roast lamb and chicken souvlaki meal mmmmmhmmmmmm so good!

Terrible customer service. Unable to answer basic questions about their food quality when asked.

The food here is good however the service is absolutely terrible. I Always try to order my food 20 mins to half hour before I will arrive to pick up and it is NEVER ready all at the same time. Half the food is cold because you're waiting for the other items to be ready. The food tastes good but I've given this place way too many chances to have my food ready and Hott when I come to pick up. I can't imagine how cold the delivery is when it arrives.
Unfortunately won't be going here again.

Food is always delicious, and portions are huge. This place is a family favourite - so many menu items - my son doesn't like Greek food so he always gets a panzarotti

We have supported the Olive Tree during the whole pandemic. The food is amazing. Unfortunately the customer service is lacking. This is the third time in 4 orders that the food was an hour late. Even when I ordered 2 hours early. After 30 minutes I called to find our where the order was only to be told there was a huge rush on. Excuse me. I ordered 2 hours ago. Oh, let me have the manager call you right back. Never got a call and received cold, over done food 20 minutes later. VERY LAST TIME. We are done with you. The Olive Tree does not desmy business

THEY ARE SLOW! Taste good but do not order if you need it on time. Simple order took 40mins when ordering online saying ready in 15m. Voiced concern to staff and it was more like meh. Just got bumped down lower on my list, might support some other local shop that seems to have less traffic. I will say it did taste good and no issues with the quality of food / Chicken shawarma

I love the delicious food here. Its amazing wowowowow, yummyyyyyyyyyyyy, mmmmmmmmm awesome price the best of the best restaurant
