The Olives Branch in San Juan Capistrano

They were crazy busy tonight but our service and food quality was still exceptional!! I ate my entree before I could snap a photo but I did capture the hummus and labneh. I also captured the Baklava Ice Cream, the most deliciously unique dessert ever!

I rate it 3 out 5 because of the way they cook the seafood - it is fried in oil but not grilled so the taste it really different than you expect from Mediterranean food.Customer service is average, they do not pay much attention to the customers.It also smells fried oil everywhere, so you need to change your clothes not to smell like a fast food guy.Location is good and nice.Atmosphere is friendly. They have hookah if you like it.

I never had worse Mansaf than the one I tried here, the rice is more of a briani’s rice without the spices not sure what it was, the Jameed is tasteless, and instead of Sharak bread underneath the rice, they provided 2 outta breads on the side. The funny thing that’s listed under “Chef Specials: Jordanian Mansaf” UNREAL!

Love the relaxing ambience especially the patio. They serve the best Hookah Ive ever had and the food is so great. The chicken shawarma plate is our to go dish and they recently added steak frites and its so juicy and delicious it comes with two homemade creamy sauces and plumpy and yummy steak fries.Last but not least dont miss the baklava ice cream it is to die for!I only wish the service was faster. It already got so much better compared to 6 months ago but a faster and more frequent check ins is highly appreciated.

Try the mango hookah or mix and match. With their extensive menu, youre sure to find a flavor you like.The service here is amazing. Even during their rush, the server was very attentive and checked in on me often.Highly recommend the shawarma chicken hummus.

We have been going here for over 10 years. Our entire family loved this restaurant. They have authentic Mediterranean food and delicious hummus that’s just like what my Grandma would make.

Great hookah, decent food. As someone whos lived in the Middle East, this food is good in flavor but not the absolute best. Many side dishes are cold when I would prefer them hot (musakka).Great hookah though! Clean restaurant, clean hookahs, great flavors, knowledgeable staff! I will come back.

The services great! Our server was very kind, gave us free grilled veggies that were extra on the grill that they didnt use. Hummus and the Arayas was amazing! I ordered the chicken shawarma plate. Pretty good, was not a huge fan of the lentil soup though. My husband thinks they also added peas to it. But overall we had a lovely experience ☺

The food is fresh and unique. People who serve and cook are friendly, polite and quick. The food does take time to cook and they actually cook instead of taking it from beneath a heat lamp. Humus and garlic sauce is amazing. They also have Lebanese wine and beer. I highly recommend the date juice martini. It was absolutely amazing

The food is really good. I mean really good and clean. My favorites are the hummus with chicken shawarma and their quail.The hookah is also very good. They always seem understaffed but are very kind and helpful.
