I had a really great experience at 3 Olives. I ordered the Greek Salad and Chicken Shawarma Platter, and the food was so fresh and flavorful — honestly the best chicken I’ve had in a long time. The garlic sauce was amazing too. We did wait a little bit since it was busy, but the servers brought us hummus and pita, which was a nice touch, and by the time we finished that, our food arrived — totally worth the wait. The staff were very polite, attentive, and friendly, and the whole atmosphere with the music felt lively and refreshing. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Very good food and authentic! Service was a little slow. There wasn't a rush or big crowd. I assume the server wanted to allow time to savor the experience. The felafel was really good! Light crunch on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Just the right portion for one person. It was a quiet lunch away from the busyness of the day.

On several occasions, I have passed by this establishment, but this time, we decided to stop and dine. We were pleasantly surprised by the owner’s hospitality and kindness. The atmosphere was inviting, adorned with an abundance of Egyptian decorations. For appetizers, we ordered Grape Leaves and Tandoori Wings. The leaves were distinct from the Greek cuisine we are accustomed to, yet they were delightful in their own way. The leaves possessed a pleasant crunch, and the filling was incomprehensible. You must experience it for yourself. The Tandoori Wings, while possessing a great grilled flavor, lacked the same awe-inspiring effect. Although perfectly cooked, they simply tasted like ordinary wings. For entrees, we opted for the Mixed Shawarma Platter and the 3 Olives Signature. The platter was satisfactory; some chicken pieces were slightly overcooked, but overall, it was very good. The signature was, as expected, exceptional. All three meats were succulent and flavorful. 4.6 STARS Thank you and we will be back!

I loved 3 Olives! The place was quiet, beautiful, and very clean. As a vegetarian, I was so happy to see many options. I tried hummus with fresh pita, falafel platter, salad, and the best strawberry lassi. Everything was super delicious! The staff was kind and friendly. A must-try place!

This was the best Mediterranean food that I've had in Dutchess county in a long time. The restaurant was absolutely spotlessly clean. It was quiet with beautiful music playing. The portions of food were fantastic and the price is cheaper than even some diners in the area. I got the chicken pita - the pita bread was so fresh and the chicken was perfectly marinated. Plenty of sauce. Seasoning on the fries was so good. I will absolutely be coming back!
