“ Service is great . The food is always delicious . My whole family loves it!. Nice area to sit and eat as well . ”
“ I don't know why but the food is amazing. Yes I recommend this place. The restaurant is busy and there is waiting time. I hope my review don't make my waiting time longer. ”
“ I got the gyro with spicy potatoes, kafta skewer and falafel. The gyro was amazing and stuffed to the max with lots of meat. The kafta was a little dry and not much flavor and the falafel was decent, not too much flavor in that one either. The real star of the meal was the spicy potatoes, I would go there just for those alone! ”
“ I'm not the type to write reviews but this place is amazing. Such polite workers, efficient, and food is high quality and seasoned well. I haven't had much mediterranean food but I have high standards, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Fairly good sized portions. ”
“ the green olive is in a pretty out of the way & hidden location. we came for a quick weekend lunch. ordering was quick and easy, and the staff is nice. there was limited indoor seating, and seems like a great place to do take out. the menu is extensive with all your favorite mediterranean foods. we got the gyro wrap. the meat was delicious and they gave a very nice portion in the wrap. the side salad was just alright. we also got the chicken skewers which were tender and flavorful. love that garlic sauce with them! the rice was shockingly good too. i would definitely come back here. overall it was some good food for a good price. ”
“ I've eaten multiple times in this restaurant and I always been great. The only thing that I didn't like is french fries the spicy potato is definitely the first side that I choose. ”
“ This is our go to place on Thursdays for Mediterranean food. I always order on the phone and the workers are very kind and courteous and patient. Because it has such an extensive menu, I've tried many plates and everything has been delicious. My usual go to order are the lamb kebabs with the spicy potatoes and the salad . The chicken is moist and flavorful the salad is fresh and tasty. The star is the spicy potatoes that are just delicious. My sons usually order the chicken kebabs and the beef kebabs and the gryo meat and all of it is finished by them. There are lots of vegetarian options and delicious desserts. The place is small and out-of-the-way, but it's cozy on the inside and friendly. ”
“ I was in the mood for some Mediterranean food and decided to try a new place instead of my usual place. The service: 5 stars. The woman up front at the counter is phenomenal. Very friendly and personable. She made us feel very welcomed. She even gave us a free pita. The food: 4 stars. My husband and I shared "the works" plate. I'm glad we decided to share, it was a lot of food! The rice and chicken were ok. The beef, kafta and falafel were absolutely delicious! Loved the falafels so much. The humus and pita were good as well. The vibe: you can tell this is more of a take out place, the inside is small and there are no public restrooms. We did eat there and it was nice enough for a quick lunch. Overall 4.5 stars, I'm glad I tried a new place and I'd come back here again. ”
“ Didn't know about this location in SFS so my husband and i decided to go there and check it out! We love the green olive but the one in downey is very small. We walked right in to this one and were able to order right away. The cashier was very welcoming and answered our questions kindly too. We got the chicken shawarma fries (WOW FANTASTIC) and the beef kabob plate. Everything came out hot, fast, and correctly. I was able to get extra lemon garlic sauce too. The portions are big and so tasty. The place is small too but plenty of parking and clean with a bathroom. Give this place some love! ”
