What User likes about The Olive Tree:
We were disappointed on our arrival in Sydney two weeks ago when our schedule couldn't accommodate this restaurant. Upon our return yesterday, the old adage good things happen to those who wait was proven true!!!!! What a great find and a rarity in today's world to find the combination of great food with great service at a reasonable price! I had the burger which great and the desserts were to die for! Well worth the... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Olive Tree:
I ordered the vegan shawarma today and was extremely disappointed with the changes made to the original recipe. It was delicious when I had it last year, but the version I received today was not what I expected. It was too bitter and had an overwhelming taste of lemon juice for my liking. I hope they bring back the original recipe for us vegans who have limited places to eat. Otherwise, I still love this place. View all feedback.
