Blu Olive Mediterranean Bistro

Great little place for wonderful Greek food. My first time here while visiting from Illinois. I met up with friends and had a great dinner. Acoustic wise it's a little loud for normal conversation, but still a nice place to go.

If you’re looking to have a good kebab (persian koobideh specifically), and you’re around try this with Mas Moosir (the yogurt) which is a must!

Yummy food, good service, nice ambiance! They also made a delicious N/A cocktail. The hummus and pita was sooooooooo good 🤤🤤🤤🤤.

Highly recommended. Quality of lamb 🐑 meat really good no smells of lamb. Yummy homemade saffron pistachios ice cream.

This place was recommended by a coworker of mine and it lived up to the hype! Cozy, cool atmosphere and delicious food. It was great seeing families and regulars come in while we were there. Nice neighborhood find!

I can't say enough about Blue Olive. The food is amazing & better than I expected, but the staff & and owner are what makes this place fun to be at. They're friendly, outgoing & have hearts of gold. If you are ever in the area, please stop & give this place a chance. Oh, by the way, Blue Olive has two of the best bartenders in Oregon. Please give this restaurant a try, you will not regret it.

Some of the best Medi food I have ever had. Food quality over the top fresh, felt like food was made with real care for quality. Excellent experience. If I wasn’t from out of state this would be my go to.

This is our new go to Mediterranean spot! There were really nice cuts of Lamb in the Gyro. They have the best falafel I have ever tried. And the cocktails were delicious.

We had an excellent meal with wonderful service. They had a memorial or post funeral group in house when we came in during happy hour. The bar looks great, but with a concussion I couldn’t imbibe. My husband and I were looking for something darker and quiet and this had excellent ambiance, even with the large group in house.

The food was wonderful! We got the Blue Olive Platter with Dalmas as an appetizer. My husband is GF and they kept the pita separated and everything else was good to go. We will definitely be going back. The lamb was seasoned great and tender. The kabob and chicken souvlaki were seasoned and cooked well. I loved the poached tomato served with it. Pairs well with those last two. The salad and rice are more than enough for two. You won’t leave hungry for sure. Well worth the price.

This place was wonderful. The lamb shank was so soft it just came off the bone. The kebobs, salad, dessert ice cream were just delicious. I would definitely come back again.

Good was tasty and so were the drinks. The jalapeño hummus was amazing if you like a little kick to your dip. The place has both indoor and outdoor seating. Cute blue chairs outside. I would recommend this place if you are in the area and looking for a healthy meal.

Mmmmm ... This place is yummy! We had the "big plate" of Lamb, Saffron Chicken, and Shrimp, and the "little plate" of Baba Ghanouj and the fried cheese. They were all great. We also had the Babek desert, and it was very tasty. We shared between 5 people, and it was just enough. The lamb was our favorite, definitely give that a try! The cocktails were also very good.

The owner is very friendly and professional. The service is excellent as is the food! Very delicious. Literally the best persian food in Portland area

This is one of the top quality Mediterranean food that you can eat. Every dish was well prepared and delicious . Even drink was very unique. Saffron rice with chicken was authentic and well cooked. This place was busy on Friday night and was full so service was little bit delayed so ordering appetizer with drinks will help during wait.

Absolutely delicious food, first time ever i've been there, and it is the absolute the best.

I love going to this place, the food is always great and the staff is wonderful. I really like the hummus, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, as well as the jalapeño cilantro hummus. The koobideh kebob and the lamb gyro are also very good. I look forward to going back here soon.

Absolutely delicious, I've loved their food forever and am so happy to see their business thriving. My favorite is the Blu Olive platter, it's excellent for sharing! The ekmek is also amazing but we were so stuffed that we didn't have it this time. I can't wait to enjoy my leftovers tomorrow!

The Vegan Plate is just a perfect lunch! The hummus, grape leaves, falafel and salad are a great combination of flavors which go well with the pita bread! The cocktails are unique and fun to try. The service is always good! This is definitely one of my go to places.

Hands down, best Mediterranean food i have ever had in all of Oregon. Everything from the fattoush and greek salads, fries, hummus, rice, chicken saffron, kabobs and lamb were amazing!! Its that type of food that melts in your mouth, good. Went back 1 week later. Definitely will be back for more and often. My kind of place for sure.

We happened upon this small gem while visiting. Best gyro I've ever had. They accommodated our larger group well. The food was so fresh and good. The GF options were many!
