Olive Tree Cafe - Newark

The place is tiny, but WOW! What a wollup it packs. Great food, great service, great prices, plus beer and wine! The owner is Moroccan and raised in France. He puts a very well rounded Mediterranean spin on his menu. His Moroccan food is lovingly prepared and tastes like home cooking. We had a sampler of three salads: a Turkish Choban salad, a Moroccan beet salad, and a Tabbouleh salad. All served with warm, crusty Turkish bread and a tiny plate of wine cured olives. Next was Moroccan Harira soup...lentils, chick peas, beef, rice and Moroccan spices in a hearty broth. Our main course was two tagines of homemade couscous, vegetables and meat one tagine with beef, one with chicken), and firey harisa sauce on the side. We finished off our meal with Moroccan mint tea and French macarons.

An amazing meal!! From Apps to sangria....to dinner...dessert and cappuccino....every bite was yummy.. The waiter and owner could not have been anymore helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful food, great service. We had the lamb and chicken tagine. Both were spectacular. The bread was amazing. Nice group of wines available by the glass. Good beer list too. We even had Turkish coffee and baklava. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is a great place to eat. The food was wonderful and the servers were so nice. They even have a kids menu. I recommend you try this place, we are definitely coming back.

Here several times for lunch and dinner. It is a great place. First there is the food, most recently I had the paella and the fish soup, both were excellent. But then there is the atmsphere. You feel like you are guests at someone 's table, not a restaurant. They remember you, even when you have only been there a few times, and the owner comes around every night to talk to his guests. Finally, were there for 'A Night in Spain ' and the Spanish guitar player, Mr. Sedaka I don 't remember his first name. had a repertoire that spanned centuries . Thank you all for a fine evening.
