Real Olive - Lawrenceville

Everything we've had here is fantastic. We especially love the lentil soup and the falafel. They are also some of the kindest people behind the counter. It's a perfect date night for us. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20

Sign said open, doors were unlocked. Walked in and the kid said they closed already, an hour before the website says. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

They close at 830 not 9. Not sure why they dont update their hours to save customers the trip.

My husband and I were a little concerned that the restaurant was completely empty when we walked in at almost 7:00 on a Wednesday night but the reviews were good so we decided to give it a try. The two young men behind the counter greeted us immediately and were friendly and helpful. We both ordered the vegetarian platter. When ordering, I requested no cheese on my salad. The cook overheard my request and offered vegan tzatziki sauce if I was vegan. At a time when good customer service is almost completely dead, I was pleasantly surprised that someone was actually looking for ways to be accommodating to his customers. I also asked if it was possible to swap out one of the side items for a different side and it was not a problem. The service was very quick. We waited 5-7 minutes for our meals to be brought to the table by one of the two young men. He was courteous and eager to give us a good experience. The portions were larger than expected and everything seemed very fresh. Potatoes and falafel were piping hot. The falafel was a little too dense and moist on the interior. It had good flavor but could have been better. The baba ganoush was delicious! Hummus was good. Salad ingredients were very fresh. We were pleasantly surprised by the friendly and prompt service and the quality and amount of food. As a bonus, it was very fast even though we were prepared to dine in and wait.
