Olive Tree Café Delaware

This place is a gem. Excellent food, friendly and welcoming ownership and staff, and a very relaxing and casual atmosphere. Highly highly recommend Olive Tree Cafe for any fan of Mediterranean food, or just great food in general. We’ve never had a dish here that wasn’t excellently prepared and bursting with flavor. The Turkish Lentil soup is a particular favorite, also the Mediterranean Salmon. Try here and you won’t be sorry!

Awesome food, Lovely people, Great Service. Dinner there was a delight. They have very nice selection of menu from soups, dips and appetizers to main course and tea/desserts. We tried beef soup, meatballs, wings, clay pot lamb entree, Kebab platter and Baklava Sunday. Everything was very good and made to perfection. Clay pot entrees are very well presented. Lamb one has sweeter taste from apricot so just make sure of it before ordering if you like sweetness in your entree. Turkish mint tea was beautifully served in traditional pot. I never had Baklava Sundae. It was an innovative presentation. Would definitely recommend this place.

If you don't stop by this place when you have the chance, you are sure to miss a dining 'experience'. This place is tucked away in Chestnut Hill Plaza in Newark, DE. True to the reviews, the food speaks for itself. The reason behind it is that the owner cares - and it shows. He makes sure to greet and speak to every single customer. Doesn't that make you feel special? Need more reasons to visit? You can consider the welcoming nature of the servers and the owner make sure that they get everything right, the food, the decor, the ambience, and the food ...sorry, did I mention food too many times? We ordered the following: Turkish coffee from our experience in Doha, Turkish coffee made and served in copper vessel is a treat in itself. If you like coffee, there is no way you want to miss this - it was the perfect companion to the Appetizer Sampler 2 pieces each of Falafel, Dolmeh and Spanakopita. For main course we had: Adana Platter with seasoned rice - Traditional Turkish Grilled Ground Lamb Kebab with Spicy Harissa and Tzatziki Sauces. The kebab was juicy inside and lightly charred outside. With the spicy Harissa - the combo was just heavenly. Spiced Rubbed Lamb Chops well done and with a side of grilled veggies - words won't do justice to how good this was. You have to try it to believe it. You always have the option of telling how you want the lamb chops to be 'done' - so, take your pick! The kid had Moroccan Meatballs with fries this was so good, that we finished whatever the kid couldn't. For dessert, we went with Baklava - which was, needless to say, as good as a Baklava gets!! We enjoyed the meal thoroughly. The owner checked with us multiple times personally to ensure everything was going as per our expectations and believe me - everything was well beyond our expectations. We'll definitely be back to try other items on offer.

I love this place so much. I have ordered so many different things off their menu and it is all fantastic. Tonight I tried the steak gyro and tiramisu and I was in absolute heaven!!!!! It was so amazing.

Outstanding Mediterranean food!!! Reasonably priced, clean, nice atmosphere and music, even romantic. Friendly helpful staff. Owner stops by tables to see how it was. Food was fresh, perfectly prepared and seasoned, decent portion size; just like grandmother used to make. The tea is excellent! Bathroom was clean. Highly recommended!

*Recommend* *Friendly Staff* *Delicious Light Food* We really enjoyed the food and service here at this establishment and would definitely return in the future!

The exterior of this place is so unattractive that we hesitated to enter at the beginning. However, the taste of the food totally blew our minds! I had a lamb with prunes, dried apricots and almonds tagine served with seasoned rice. The lamb was extremely tender and full of flavor, well combined with the sweetness of dried fruits and the chewiness of almonds. Amazing food that is highly recommended!

This was an amazing meal. The Moussaka was delicious and the atmosphere and service were 5 star

Love this place. Kennett Square Community group recommended it. Food is very good. Staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. I actually liked the falafel and I never like falafel. They ask first thing if you would like some bread. Get the bread. They bake it fresh. Delicious! I suggest getting the mint tea. It's refreshing!

Great Place for Turkish food, staff are nice and friendly, delicious
