If you’re looking for an authentic taste of the Middle East, with fresh, healthy Mediterranean dishes crafted with love, Olive Tree Catering has all the kibbeh and baklava you could want. Proprietor Ibtisam Masto fled war in Syria with her family and came to Cincinnati in 2016. While Masto says she struggled to adapt to life in the United States, she never gave up on her dream to own a food business. Olive Tree was born after she went through a chef fellowship program by Center for Great Neighborhoods in Covington in 2018, and she never looked back. Masto’s dishes are crafted with fresh, high-quality and delicious ingredients that give people a genuine taste of her homeland and offer a new perspective of Syria — one that emphasizes love and peace through food. The catering menu features appetizers like baba ganouj and kibbeh — Masto’s favorite — entrees like Syrian chicken and shish kebabs and, of course, plenty of baklava. You can also find Olive Tree at Findlay Market on the weekends during market season for smaller portions of her amazing cooking. olivetreecincy.com.
