Best Mediterranean Food in Natick

Dates and Olives is the kind of spot that makes you excited for your next meal before you’ve even finished the one in front of you. The food is consistently amazing, and every visit brings a new dish to fall in love with.

We adore this restaurant! The food here consistently exceeds expectations — from the rich, spicy hummus to the irresistible messy fries, every dish has something special. What truly sets this place apart is the owner’s kindness and how accommodating she is. She treats every guest like family and genuinely cares about making your experience fantastic. Such a gem of a spot — highly recommend it to everyone looking for amazing food and warm hospitality!

Great spot for fresh healthy Mediterranean food in Natick center. We love the Mediterranean dips, delicious hummus and labneh (tip: ask for extra pita ) and the lamb shawarma. Even our picky daughter who is not a big fan of Mediterranean food raved about the grilled chicken sandwich. We often get carry out but also love the option to dine in the cozy restaurant and pair with a trip to the bookstore across the street.

I cannot say enough good things about dates and olives. I’m a picky eater and have friends who are vegan, gluten free, etc… They provide so many yummy options. Some of my personal favorites are the Moroccan chicken, rice, Greek salad, hummus, and tzatziki! So fresh and delicious!

Very cozy, chill, and comfortable spot with all the classic Mediterranean options! The cauliflower shawarma wrap and chicken souvlaki wrap in particular were very hearty and filling! Good casual/to go spot worth checking out!
