Most Disliked
Some diners note that the fries can be hit or miss, occasionally described as average compared to the stellar main dishes. A few patrons mention limited seating during peak hours, especially on busy Friday evenings, which may lead to longer wait times. Service may sometimes feel overwhelmed during peak times, affecting the dining pace. Although the atmosphere is generally welcoming, those seeking a more upscale dining experience might find Olive Grill Halal's casual vibe less appealing. A couple of reviews mention the range of sides and appetizers could be expanded to complement the distinctive main offerings better.

First timer here👋. I absolutely loved this place. I was visiting the area and decided to test the waters, and trust me they didn't disappoint me at all. Great service, great food, and great atmosphere, what more could you ask for? Hands down the best Halal restaurant I've ever been to. Thanks for providing me with a great experience 😊 Don't mind the sloppyness in the photo, I asked for extra extra sauce🤣 Plus it took a whole lot to stop eating just to make a review.

Authentic Jordanian flavors! The food was fresh and delicious, the service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. Highly recommend trying the kabab and the traditional dishes 🇯🇴

Legit smash 1/2 lb cheese burger. Pleasantly surprised how good it was. Pretty unassuming from the outside. But really good, decent and not overpriced food! Highly recommended! Lunchtime specials 12-2pm are very affordable!

I tried their Zinger sandwich and it was really good. The chicken was well-cooked with a nice crispy coating, and the bun was soft. The sauce matched well, but the fries were pretty average, nothing special. The price was fair and the service was quick. Overall, it was a good experience and I’d definitely come back again.

One of the best Arabic restaurants I’ve ever tried! The falafel and shawarma sandwiches were absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Definitely worth trying — I’ll be a regular customer for sure!

We decided to visit St. Louis from Chicago. Our experience with Olive grill was so great that we ordered two days in a row. My husband says their shawarma is the best, you can see his reaction below. Packaging and service were beautiful and I had a vegan falafel wrap that reminded me of my time in Jordan. Everything was wonderful if you are looking for something authentic and delicious give them a try!
