About us


Urban Olive Mediterranean is a family

owned Mediterranean restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, built on generations of tradition, hospitality, and a deep love for fresh, honest food. Our concept blends authentic Mediterranean flavors with a modern, elevated fast casual experience, bringing the warmth of the Mediterranean table to the heart of the city.


Our story begins with family. Food has always been how we connect, celebrate, and care for one another. At Urban Olive, we honor those roots by preparing everything from scratch, using whole ingredients, time tested recipes, and bold, vibrant flavors inspired by the Eastern Mediterranean. Nothing artificial, nothing rushed just real food made the right way.


We believe Mediterranean food should be both nourishing and exciting. That’s why our menu focuses on freshly grilled proteins, handcrafted dips and sauces, seasonal vegetables, house-made salads, and warm pita baked daily. Every dish is designed to be flavorful, balanced, and satisfying food that makes you feel good long after the last bite.


Urban Olive isn’t just about what’s on the plate it’s about the experience. From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel the care, pride, and intention behind everything we do. Our team is an extension of our family, and our guests are treated the same way. Whether you’re joining us for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or sharing a meal with friends, we want you to feel welcomed, seen, and at home.


Rooted in tradition and crafted for today, Urban Olive Mediterranean is our way of sharing our heritage with the Raleigh community one fresh, flavorful dish at a time.
