Top notch salads, both the Greek and tomato are fantastic and I always get the extra side of feta. The hummus and grape leaves are both very good and I love the fresh baklava.
Only take out for now and still cash only, but worth the minor inconvenience.

Genuine, casual dining with phenomenal service and great prices. Seasoning is gentle so the natural flavor of the ingredients really comes through. Great for those that typically find restaurants in Hawaii to be too salty. The salads and vegetables in each entree marry well with their main dish and there is a spread of very well priced appetizers available for tons of variability between different visits. Be prepared with cash because they do not accept cards or mobile payment. A nice wine shop next door compliments the BYOB policy here at Olive Tree Cafe. Great place for impromptu meals because the food comes out quickly and there is a good amount of parking available.

Open daily for dinner at 5pm, take out only, and cash only. I had the Fresh Fish Souvlaki which was really tasty because of the Greek yogurt dressing: tzatziki sauce. The green salad that came with it was refreshing!
Wow wow wow! We love this place. From the chicken skewers to the falafel and the bubaganeuslh to the hummus everything is excellent! We always grab a bottled soda from subway next door as their drink options are a bit limited and it has switched to takeout only. They are fast and the gentleman that always helps us at the counter is a joy too!
We always get the Greek salad, hummus with extra pita, chicken souvlaki, fish souvlaki and mussel ceviche. Always AMAZING!!!
*We love using the pita to soak up the salad dressing. 😋😋😋
(I moved the tomatoes and cucumbers on the side in the salad pic)
Great casual dining for Mediterranean cuisine. Food is delicious. Can be busy with limited seating space during peak hours. It's mostly self service. One thing to note is that it's cash only. But it's a great place to visit for some tasty Mediterranean food.
BRING CASH!
Thank goodness for this place because it's really the only option for miles for Greek food.
There is parking available in a small lot between McDonald's and the Kahala post office. If you park at the Kahala mall, you could probably walk here just as quickly.
Pre-covid you could enjoy outdoor seating but during the pandemic, I've only been able to take out. You could BYOB .
I always order the same thing when I come here; Shaorma, Babaganoush Baklava and Ginger Brew
The avgo lemono (lemon soup) and tabouleh are also worth mentioning.
If you don't eat meat, the Falafel and the Babaganoush are tasty.
Awesome Greek place with an established feel. You can tell they found the secret recipe to success and have stuck to it. The prices are great and the staff is upbeat and helpful. Ordering at the counter gives the place a low key, easy going vibe. It was busy when I went and I asked if anyone would mind if I joined them. The lady taking my order knew the regulars well enough to point me to a jovial Lebanese man who I engaged in a hilarious conversation with over a plate of Chicken Saffron. Also, did I mention they have the greatest baklava I’ve ever had!?! Amazing, don’t miss out on this place.
One of the best places in Honolulu to eat at. The food is delicious and healthy. Service is amazing. Ambiance is one of the best. There's something for everyone at affordable prices.
Note: cash only! There is an atm nearby at bank of Hawaii. I got the chicken souvlaki and it was delicious (as you can tell from my empty plate). Indoor and outdoor seating. Minimal menu, but every on it is done well!
