The food, service and ambience were phenomenal! Our server was kind, courteous and professional and his timing was impeccable. He knew the menu well and offered insight on the menu items. Our party of four enjoyed each selection. The serving sizes were generous. We enjoyed a lovely evening with Oleum and will definitely be returning.

Absolutely delicious food, surprisingly reasonably priced, wonderful friendly service. If I lived in Baltimore I would make this a regular dining place. FWIW: I rarely write reviews (I can't remember the last time I did), but this place was so good I'm moved to do it. TRY IT!

We had a great experience here---it started with a great server--Bean, who knew the menu inside and out, and could answer questions easily. She also had great suggestions. The food quality was perfect, and very generous portions too. It would be a great place to take non-vegans--you simply can't argue with the deliciousness of the food. The *only* thing is, it's sort of hard to find. It's near the ice rink at the inner harbor--in a sort of indoor-mall like thing. (We're from out-of-town, maybe locals will find it easier!)

So happy to find this great place on the harbor while on business in Baltimore. Food was great, service was friendly and I spoke to the owner who is very passionate about creating a positive experience for her customers. Even non plant based eaters will love it here. Highly recommend!

Food was amazing and staff were all great. The pita and pizza dough were amazing. Our food took a very long time to get to our table - I assume because everything is made from scratch (we watched the cooks hard at work). We wouldn’t have minded, but we were with our toddler and it was a late evening. The food was steaming hot and delicious when it was delivered to our table. Our toddler enjoyed it as much as we did. We were also treated to an unexpected birthday treat - thank you! We will come back if we’re ever in Baltimore.
OleumResponded on 2 October 2024
Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us at our new location! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food (especially the flatbread and pizza dough!) and that even your toddler had a great time. As this was our 6th week open and our busiest night yet, we truly appreciate your understanding with the wait—our scratch-made dishes do take a little extra time. We definitely welcome you back when you're in Baltimore again!
