Yesterday was my first time going to Dates and Olives in Natick Center, and I can say I was truly blown away by the food and service. First and foremost you are greeted kindly when you come into the restaurant and the smell of delicious flavors comes over you. The ordering process is very simple, and everything is made fresh on the spot. I got the Chicken Shawarma with spicy hummus and I was IN LOVE. I inhaled the entire entree, the spicy hummus was the perfect amount of spice, the chicken was cooked and spiced to perfection and the veggies were fresh and bright. In addition, I had mentioned how much I liked the tabbouleh salad that my friend was having and a worker at the restaurant overhead me and brought me a little over for myself which was so kind. You can tell the people who work and own this location genuinely care about the customers. Most people who came in already knew the staff, and the staff knew them, their names, and often their orders! I have been dying to find an excellent, fresh and delicious Mediterranean restaurant in the Metrowest area FOREVER, but now that I have found Dates & Olives I can say I will absolutely be a repeat customer.. FOR LIFE!

Simply disappointed. Beef was tough and chewy. Adena kabab were completely off. Wings were OK. Fries were fine. Tried it once and don’t have a reason to go back.

Food is off; it is neither Mediterranean nor Middle Eastern. The restaurant is run by an Indian family. People are fine but food is off. Also, portions are smaller than priced or advertised.

We had a blast with the Family combo for 2. Highly recommend it so that you can try multiple flavors at once. They go well together in one bite as well
