Olive Eats is a restaurant in Sarasota, Florida. It is listed at 2801 N Tamiami Trl, Sarasota, FL 34234, which places it among the local businesses of Sarasota that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.
The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 amβ3 pm. It is closed on Sunday.

Sarasota is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. Getting around Sarasota is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Florida's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Iβd driven by this restaurant a number of times, and we finally decided to give it a try. Iβm glad we did! Itβs a small, cozy restaurant with a very friendly atmosphere. The owner/chef came out and checked on our food, which was a nice touch. Everything we had was delicious, with familiar ingredients combined in ways I hadnβt experienced before. The flavor profiles were excellent. I especially recommend the watermelon salad and the chicken bowl. If you enjoy Middle Eastern food, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Iβll definitely be back!

I'm going to start this post by saying that the food is delicious. My issue is not with the food. The hummus is light and creamy. I thought it might benefit from some acidity, but that may just be my taste. I had a chicken and lamb kabob, served with rice and sauteed vegetables. The lamb was delicious and tender, not at all game tasting. It would have benefited from some more seasoning, but I put a little salt on it and that really brought out the other flavors. The chicken, rice, and vegetables for seasoned perfectly and needed nothing. I also had fried halloumi, which was really great. The tomatoes, olive oil, and seasonings really added a depth of flavor that I've not previously had with my fried halloumi. The food is delicious. My issue comes with the pricing. I bought the combo platter and the price is not listed on the menu. I assumed that with two kabobs, it would be slightly more than the $22, but I didn't expect that it would be double. I was charged $44 for a combo platter. That price is not listed on the menu. I was not told when I ordered how much it would be when I ordered it. Add that to the halloumi and the hummus, and it was over $70 for one lunch. That's ridicul

Incredible Middle Eastern food! Food this authentic is so hard to find in our area. Super fresh and made on the spot! Everything we ate was excellent, delicious, and quite generous portions. They were nice enough to give us an extra dish of pickled turnips - made in-house and so crispy and tart. Will be back again!
