Reviews for Blu Olive Mediterranean Bistro in Portland, OR

This is one of the top quality Mediterranean food that you can eat. Every dish was well prepared and delicious . Even drink was... very unique. Saffron rice with chicken was authentic and well cooked. This place was busy on Friday night and was full soservice was little bit delayed so ordering appetizer with drinks will help during wait.

After being told that my to-go order would be 50 minutes to 1 hour I was fine with that. I did reiterate to the young lady on... the phone that I didn't want soggy, cold food. Should I come early. She then stated it will be 50 minutes to an hour. I orderedat 6:45 p.m.. I arrived at 7:35pm,( should have definitely come early and just had a drink at the bar, but they did sound busywhen I called and didn't want to have to sit in my car since the place is so small). When I arrived on ask for my food therewas one bag sitting on a shelf the place was empty and my food, I checked before I left, was completely cold, as if it had beensitting there for a very long time. I then complained. They were nice enough to remake my food. I live 4 minutes from therestaurant. My food was still cold when I got home. Nothing had really been remade the fries were just warmed up (warm butsoggy). And to be honest there was actually very little meat in 2 $13 lamb Gyro! No I did not pick the meat out and eat it onthe way this is what they serve! I rarely write a review about a restaurant! I've worked in them for 25 years! FYI, there's agreat little place down the street in Peter Court Plaza. Half the price way more meat but unfortunately they're closed onMondays, Gyro fresh Mediterranean Grill... way better food! I'm excited to try the Vietnamese restaurant next door they werevery busy and the food looked and smells very good.... Skip this restaurant Drive 2 minutes away. Not a destination dining spotbut a way better meal! Read more

Food was yummy, service was great. We got the hummus platter, calamari, stuffed grape leaves, kabab platter (came with beef,... chicken and lamb shank), in addition to pita bread, salad and basmati rice. Everything was great, and definitely recommended. Read more

It is a middle eastern restaurant serving some Persian Kabab dishes as well. The portions are a little small for the prices but... the quality is good. The rice is cooked in a middle eastern way than Persian style. The Mast Musir tasted more like a plainyogurt and the breads were not fresh. They just warmed a frozen pitta bread from the freezer that I didn't like. The service wasgood and parking is easy. Read more

Good was tasty and so were the drinks. The jalapeño hummus was amazing if you like a little kick to your dip. The place has... both indoor and outdoor seating. Cute blue chairs outside. I would recommend this place if you are in the area and looking for ahealthy meal. Read more

The ekmek is also amazing but we were so stuffed that we didn't have it this time. I can'twait to enjoy my leftovers tomorrow! Read more

The Vegan Plate is just a perfect lunch! The hummus, grape leaves, falafel and salad are a great combination of flavors which... go well with the pita bread! The cocktails are unique and fun to try. The service is always good! This is definitely one ofmy go to places. Read more
