Fresh, Farm‑to‑Table Mediterranean Flavors

At Dates and Olives, we believe true Mediterranean cuisine blossoms when you work with the best ingredients:

  • House‑Made Hummus & Dips: Creamy chickpeas, extra‑virgin olive oil, and just the right blend of garlic and lemon. Pair with warm pita or crisp vegetables.
  • Signature Platters & Grazing Boards: Colorful spreads of marinated olives, feta, roasted vegetables, and cured meats—artfully arranged for easy grazing.
  • Falafel & Shawarma: Our falafel is light yet satisfying, and our chicken and lamb shawarma are slow‑roasted to tender perfection with traditional spices.

Each entrée and side dish is crafted in small batches to guarantee freshness, with vibrant flavors that capture the true spirit of the Mediterranean.

Customizable Catering Packages for Every Occasion

No two celebrations are the same, so our catering options flex to fit your needs:

  • Grad Party Feast: Hearty kebabs, gyros, rice pilaf, and a build‑your‑own‑salad station keep guests fueled for fun.
  • Summer Soirée Spread: Cold mezze platters, chilled soups, and sweet baklava bars to cool off in the summer heat.
  • Baby Shower Delights: Delicate finger foods, vegetarian mezze, and allergy‑friendly sweets to welcome the little one.

Each package can be tailored by quantity, presentation style, and added extras like fresh herbs, seasonal fruit displays, or specialty beverages.

Inclusive Options for All Guests

We understand that every palate is unique, which is why we offer:

  • Vegetarian & Vegan Selections: From crisp tabbouleh to rich eggplant moussaka, plant‑based eaters will find plenty to love.
  • Gluten‑Free & Allergen‑Friendly Choices: Clearly labeled dishes and separate prep areas ensure a safe dining experience.
