Everything I've tried here was yummy! I've made a mistake and selected pick-up the other day so I've attempted to cancel it and order delivery. I was told the owner would just deliver it himself so I didn't have to cancel! Superb service! Highly recommended! UPDATE: Even breakfast is delish!

My job gets us lunch weekly and when they ordered from here I was super excited to try it. I had a gyro wrap it was super yummy. So I ordered from here the other day I got a pita platter it comes with a greek salad and chicken. It was so good, I will defiantly order from here again.

The Mediterranean fare here is truly as good as it gets! We had the falafel, spanakopita, baba ghanoush, hummus, tabbouleh, and chicken shwarma. After trying many a bad falafel (looking at you Cava and Roti with your mushy, soggy abominations), and an occasional good ones, let me tell you these are the best falafels I have had in this area. First, these are small patties and not balls. This guarantees a higher crisp to non-crisp inside ration. Second, the crisp is a thick layer of crispy. Why fry something if it's not going to be crispy? And third, the inside holds together solidly and nothing mushes. The baba ghanoush has a nice mix of chunk and smooth, well balanced with smokiness and tahini. The hummus is adequately garlicky (you can always rinse your mouth after) and delightfully not a paste. I ate the leftovers of both with a spoon long after my hunger has satiated. I liked that the spanakopita wasn't huge where you have to go through layers and layers of philo pastry to get to the good stuff inside. The tabbouleh is well balanced between tomatoes and parsley. And it was frrrrresh! The chicken shwarma was another favorite. The whole thing comes lightly toasted, adding to a bit of texture. The slightly tart cucumber makes the whole thing, offering a balance to the creamy sauce. Also, a good amount of chicken, but not all chicken. I do wish this place was near me. Totally stoked to hear about their Arlington opening. Will definitely visit!

Nice and extremely convenient office cafe located at 1881 Campus Commons Drive, easy walking distance to several office buildings in this complex. Reasonable prices for very decent food, nice selection, and responsive staff.

Olive Express is my go to favorite lunch spot since I work in Reston. My usual is the chicken and cheese panini and I can tell you it is the most delicious panini I have ever tasted! I use Uber Eats to order my lunch and the service is always prompt and the panini arrives hot. I highly recommend this as a great and healthy lunch spot in the Reston area.

I've been here three times in the last two weeks because it's close to work and their food and prices are super reasonable! Their falafel platter and sandwich is fantastic! I can't get over the falafels tho because it perfection. You'll just have to try it for yourself. The chicken shawarma is decent and they have a wide variety of salads and sandwiches. The workers are friendly and the service is good but not as fast as I'd like for lunch. Can't blame them tho because they're packed during lunch hour but all their food is ready to go so you can take it back to your desk or eat in the restaurant that has a few tables and couches. This is a great restaurant for lunch especially if you're in the area!
