The food is authentic and delicious and the owners are friendly and kind. We ordered the Moroccan tea with mint to warm up when we first arrived. It is served from a silver tea pot and poured into tiny pink glasses. Adorable. The owner brought us complimentary samples of their lentil and chickpea soup. Delicious. We ordered one to share. For an appetizer we shared the hummus drizzled with olive oil and cracked pepper with seasoned pita. Yum. For lunch I had the chicken tagine with rice. Loaded with flavor. I loved the food and hope to get back to Brooklyn soon to eat here again.

The tangines we had were great. Atmosphere isn't a big player here, it's like a strip mall diamond in the rough. Great service, and really tasty food. They do mix pasta in with the rice so keep that in mind if you're gluten free. Not many vegetarian meal options, but the appetizers are vegetarian/vegan-friendly. Great, definitely reccomend!

Nice place for Middle Eastern food that does not appear like a fast food restaurant. I tried the hummus and other dips. Definitely better then the ones you buy at the supermarket. Very pleasurable. I was there for a weekday lunch. I do not know how it is dinner time. This new restaurant in Bay Ridge adjacent to Ovington Avenue on 70th Street and 3rd Avenue may be a new success story. Try it out and see if it is consistent as it was when it was basically empty.

Soup, hummus and tagines are the best in the 'hood. Service is great: friendly, helpful and warming. A definite repeat visit (or multiple visits).
Tips:
The side spicy sauce has some kick (depends on your tolerance level...I like ghost pepper as a benchmark).
Go with the crispy bread.
Their soup is good anytime of the year.

Great food and reasonable prices! I tried the fish fillet tagine and it was the best! The manager is a gentleman and a very pleasant man to talk to. This place is hidden at Bayridge but a jewel to treasure. So if you haven't tried his food that is freshly done on the spot, you must come and try the food.

As authentic as it gets. The best Mediterranean cuisine in the area. When you order make sure you order THE moroccan sweet tea with mint as well.

Great service and even better food. I suggest to any one in the area to try their chicken or beef sandwich. Truly an underrated restaurant that has amazing prices.

Absolutely amazing Middle Eastern food. It took a while to come to the table, but that's because the food is cooked fresh on the grill (which you could easily see on your way to the bathroom). The owner was there and took our order. He was very kind and you could tell he loved what he did. I do believe that Fig & Olive Tree needs one more waitress/waiter to keep up with the demand. Overall, this is a new place in Bay Ridge and is truly some of the greatest Middle Eastern food I've had in a while.

This is a great little restaurant in my neighborhood of Bay Ridge. I've ordered take out and eaten inside several times and each time the food is fresh and delicious. It's family owned and operated and they are the nicest people! It's a very warm and welcoming atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy. Chicken Tagine is unbelievable. The hummus and balady salad super fresh. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu.
