This was my first time eating Moroccan food. I was impressed with the complexity of the flavors and by the amount of food served. A
I highly recommend the lamb couscous and the chicken bastilla. The lamb was seasoned well and was incredibly tender.
The bastilla was an explosion of flavors I have never had before. It's hard to describe but it's sweet, savory, and the chicken is really tender.
My girlfriend and I can't wait to come back and try new dishes and for the tea!
I've been to various Moroccan restaurants, but this one is the best. Everything was delicious, very authentic. The owner is friendly, the place is clean, and, most importantly, the food is fantastic. I highly recommend it, and I'll definitely be going back.
Best authentic Moroccan food I’ve ever had in a restaurant !! Individual orders can definitely feed more than a person. The portions are very generous and prices are reasonable.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Mount Olive Restaurant. The service was impeccable, and the staff went above and beyond to make my visit memorable. The ambiance was welcoming, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. As for the food, every dish was a culinary delight, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors and presentation.
Special thanks to kamal our server. His attentive and friendly service added a personal touch to our dining experience, making it even more enjoyable. Kamal’s knowledge of the menu and recommendations enhanced our culinary journey. Kudos to him for contributing to a wonderful evening of excellent service and delectable food.
I highly recommend Mount Olive for a delightful dining experience.
As someone who has traveled to Morocco, I love to find local places that transport me back to that amazing time. The food here was great, I appreciate the owner for accommodating my order. The salad we received was so delicious and refreshing. And the lamb shank was extremely flavorful. Oh let us not forget the mint tea, which was just as I remembered it. Highly recommended!
Awesome Weekend Buffet! Best Halal Moroccan Food in the town! Feels like Home Cooked!
Delicious food! Excellent customer service snd very kind people. Do yourself a favor and check out this spot! I went to Morocco recently and this really hit! Took me back! Thank you!!
Besides my mom’s home cooking. This is by far the best Moroccan food I’ve ever had and I was born and raised in Morocco. This place is even better than Moroccan restaurants in Morocco! I highly recommend the Lamb tajine and couscous.
I’ll be coming back to try the rest of the menu.
