Sitting outside or inside is a good ambiance. But with this good ambiance comes an average food experience. Ordered the burger but it was dry, 4.3/10. Ordered the 2 kebob plate with chicken and shrimp, rice and hummus. Looks can be deceiving. The chicken was dry, the shrimp was without flavor but they did brush some sauce on it so there's that. The rice was...rice and the hummus was there. Nothing stood out and morning was a hit. 6.7/10. The staff was nice, server did ok, a little slow considering how slow the location was that day but overall good. The location was clean, the bathroom clean. I wouldn't make this my first place to go to for Mediterranean food but out of convenience I could see myself coming back. Overall, 5.9/10
I have ordered three kebabs (chicken, beef, and lamb) and lamb chops 5pcs. No word needs to say. Just order lamb chops! ($28) They give you 2 sides for each dish. Mushroom, fries, hummus, and salads... it wad all good. And lamb burger, its good but you can taste lamb meat little more strong than lamb chops.
Great restaurant! Located in downtown Brea. There's plenty of parking in near by structures. They have nice ambience indoor and outdoor patios. They're able to accommodate larger parties. The host and staff are welcoming and friendly. We chose to sit in the patio since it was gorgeous day. The food is delicious. We ordered the lamb flat bread and baba ganoush dip as appetizers. Also ordered the lamb chops which were very tender and juicy came with two sides I chose the artichoke and mushrooms. The lamb kabob was also yummy. It also came with two sides. The Moussaka is also very yummy. Prices and portions are reasonable.
This spot in Downtown Brea is a hidden gem! The Mediterranean food was incredible—we had the sirloin steak, hummus, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, pita, and the feta fries (shredded feta over perfectly crispy fries—the best fries I’ve ever had). The outdoor seating and atmosphere were amazing—relaxed, vibrant, and perfect for a night out. The whole vibe made the experience that much better. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. I’ll be back for those fries alone!
We had a great experience at Olive Pit Mediterranean Grill. Overall, the food was very good—especially the entrée with two skewers. Both the steak and shrimp were cooked well and packed with flavor. We did run into a small issue with the Spanakopita appetizer, but our server handled it perfectly. They took it back without any hassle and removed it from the bill, which we really appreciated. Great service and tasty food—we’ll definitely be back!
