If you’re in the mood for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine, The Olive Tree in Miami is a must-visit destination. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The ambiance perfectly blends Mediterranean charm with modern elegance—think exposed brick walls, soft lighting, and a cozy, intimate setting that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a Mediterranean oasis.
To start my dining experience, I couldn’t resist ordering their Hummus and Pita, a classic dish that set the bar high. The hummus was velvety smooth and rich, with just the right amount of tahini and lemon. Paired with freshly baked, warm pita bread, it was the perfect start to my meal. For the main course, I decided to try the Lamb Kofta, a signature dish at The Olive Tree. The lamb was incredibly tender and full of flavor, seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices, and served with a refreshing cucumber yogurt sauce that complemented the rich meat perfectly. The dish was accompanied by a side of fluffy couscous and roasted vegetables, both of which were cooked to perfection.
One of the highlights of my meal was their Greek Salad. Packed with fresh vegetables, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese, it was vibrant and flavorful, offering a light, crisp balance to the heartier dishes.
No Mediterranean meal is complete without dessert, and The Olive Tree did not disappoint. I ended my meal with a slice of Baklava, which was rich, sweet, and just the right amount of flaky.
For anyone seeking an exceptional Mediterranean dining experience in Miami, The Olive Tree is the place to go. From the food to the service, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
