From the tasty morsels of Kafta, the succulent Shawarma, the fresh salad with a delightful dressing or the exquisitely made, just-right Baklava, Raging Olive is a restaurant I would like to visit over and over again when I crave Mediterranean food. Well done, Nelson!
Ownership has changed recently but the food is still great. The menu has been updated which is nice but i stick with the tried and true (shawarma and falaffel). The new owner is also a very pleasant person to talk to and get to know. Much better then the vast majority of chain restaurants Burlington has to offer which at best are mediocre.
Have been going to this place since it was "Carmel's". My wife and I go there at least once every couple of weeks and order from there if we need to bring food to a potluck. The new owner has taken it from good to AMAZING! We generally have the maza for two and order: babganoush, taboule, hummous and the tomato salad. The onion sauce that comes on the side is so good, I could (and have) eaten it on it's own...lol Chicken schwarma is tender and flavourful and if you order it spicy - wow! - it COMES spicy! Also recommended is the Feta dip....super cheesy and delicious! Honestly, my favourite restaurant and the best food for the money....scratch that.....best food PERIOD in town.
Just happened to visit this new restaurant, had been there before but decided to give it a try again. Wow ! the place is great. Ordered the appetizer platter. Presentation was perfect, ordered the mixed grill and had the beer on tap. Loved the place. Prices reasonable for the portions and service is friendly. Great place for a family outing. Would surely go back again.
I visited Carmels in the past, but I believe it has changed owners in the last year as the food is FANTASTIC now!! The chicken shawarma is AMAZING and the home made Pita's soft, warm and delicious!! The portions are very generous. Several of us took home our leftovers. I have now introduced this restaurant to several friends and family members and we all agree is is one of our favourite restaurants in town. Service is great, the staff is friendly and the whole atmosphere is casual and comfortable. Lunch is the best deal in town! But dinner is reasonable and just as good!
