I happened upon Figs & Olives because I was lucky enough that google pulled it up when I searched “salads near me”, and man am I glad to have found it. I ordered the fresh fig salad and it was absolutely delightful! Fresh, very light, and exactly what I imagine when I imagine a refreshing salad. What’s more is I haven’t encountered service like this in a very long time. Saleem, the owner of this lovely cafe, happened to be behind the counter today when I went in. In the middle of making my salad, he realized the the arugula he had wasn’t as crisp as he’d like so he ran out to a store nearby to grab some fresh arugula. What a kind gesture — and one that tells me he cares about his food and his customer. Along with the salad I had a mint tea, made with fresh mint and dried sage - this paired very nicely with the salad. The place was extremely clean and well kept. All in all, I would absolutely recommend this little gem of a spot! I’m glad I found it, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

My wife, me and a friend visited this place on a Saturday evening. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. We had a taste of many of their home made sauces. Their ingredients are very fresh and the food is very tasty, second to none. We really enjoyed the dinner and the conversation with the owner couple. The dining experience is nothing short of spectacular. Strongly recommend this place to everyone who enjoy authentic middle eastern food.
The owner was really passionate about creating a unique customer experience! Was fascinated by the quality of food and the amount of effort the staff put in to create a customized, tailored to my taste, plate. 10/10 would recommend!
This place is truly a gem. The best Mediterranean food I ever had. All the food is made fresh from scratch and with freshest ingredients. Taste is truly amazing and out of this world. Every item you try is something different and tastes the best. You must try their Spinach pie, falafel wrap, baklava, pistachio cookie and don't miss figs salad. Owners are very welcoming and warm people. They will make you feel at home as soon as you walk in. I had a wonderful experience.
Highly recommended. Passion and enthusiasm of Saleem in cooking and serving is what a restaurant needs. You feel home while eating. The spices used in the food made it fabulous. We ate two plates plus two teas and the totall price after tax was 40. It seems fair to me because I enjoyed every minute I spend there and definitely I will be back with my friends. (It is halal food if you care, otherwise think of a delicious dish at a middle eastern restaurant.) As a suggestion to the owner, it is better to print out the bill which this time we hadn't had.
Saleem greeted us immediately, shared some samples, talked us through the various menu options, and explained how the food is all made in house. The food was absolutely delicious!!!
I am in love with this place. It's such an authentic food with amazing service. People don't know the culture of middle East. Salim the owner is the sweetest person that is such a customer oriented man, he asks a lot of questions to understand your needs and deliver you the food that you will love. Def my go to place for amazing middle eastern food. Thank you very much Salim!
My first visit, awesome burger with an absolutely delicious and juicy beef patty. Can't wait to be back again! Good service too.
