The Green Olive is a small chain Mediterranean restaurant that generally sets up in industrial areas to keep their costs down and to service the working people of those areas. If you like Mediterranean Food there are very few who can compete with The Green Olive. Their chicken kabobs are absolutely amazing. Additionally, I tried their salmon kabobs I was pleasantly surprised but the tenderness and seasonings on the salmon and vegetables. The only knock I can say is that their rice doesn’t have much taste however with the variety of sauces it will make the rice pop specially the green sauce. They have vegetarian options. You can not go wrong here. This isn’t much of a dine but if you pick it up deliver it home you will be pleasantly impressed. Rock on Green Olive!!!!Vegetarian options: You know how to do vegetarian at Mediterranean restaurants. Pretty much. Standard options.Parking: Parking is easy.Kid-friendliness: Not really a place for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access.

This is our favorite local Mediterranean place. It’s an easy go-to for quality Greek food at a great value. Even our 3 1/2 year old daughter loves it. We get two meals, all 3 of eat till we’re stuffed and we always have leftovers.My personal favorite is the Salmon Kabob Plate. It come with two big skewers filled with huge chunks of tender grilled salmon between grilled red onions, squash, red bell peppers and zucchini. These sit on a large bed of flavorful yellow rice. It also comes with a generous side of hummus and small Greek salad, loaded with olives, feta, and cucumbers.My husband’s go-to is ordering the large side of gyro meat (pictured below) and a few sides of pita bread. He basically builds his own gyro wraps and will share my rice. They pack the container with so much meat, I don’t think he’s ever been able to finish it in one sitting. It does re-heat pretty well though too. Pro tip: the pita bread will keep for an extra day or two if sealed in a ziplock and kept on the counter. Unsealed and they get hard, refrigerated and they dry out.My other favorites are the “spicy potatoes” (that I find more flavorful than actually spicy, though I suppose that’s relative) and the cheese phyllo sides. Omg… both of these are so good that I sometimes order just these two things as a meal. The potatoes are soooo delicious and the cheese phyllos are perfectly light, fluffy and just a little crunchy too.The only negative thing I have to say is that sometimes they can be slow. Even on a Friday night they only had one employee at the register.Vegetarian options: Grape leaves, Spicey potatoes, hummus, baba ghanoush, rice, salad, cheese phyllos, falafelsParking: Small but free and easy parking
Great Mediterranean food! Huge portions and reasonable pricing. My husband and I are able to share the works combo that comes with 3 skewers of meat, rice, salad, 2 falafels and 2 grape leaves. Best falafels around! And they have a secret green sauce that leaves you wanting more!

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.

First time I tried green olive was in Santa Maria. Went to this location after finding out its close to where I reside at. Everything I ate tastes exactly the same as their location in santa maria, 3 1/2 hours away from L.A. Everything was good, and their falafel is very big and chunky. Took my family here and they all loved it. And we are a mexican family so trying something out of our comfort zone is rare. Give this spot a try. 5 out of 5.
Good food, good size portions, friendly staff and quick service. I usually go for the Greek salad and add a chicken or salmon kabob. I decided to try the gyro one day and it did not disappoint.

The food here is excellent. It never disappoints and their combos are plentiful and delicious as well as their sauces. Highly recommend it. I've always ordered for pick up only.

Picked up some dinner from this place tonight and it was delicious! Generous portions, fair pricing, and amazingly kind service from the young woman at the register. It felt like I was a guest in her home; she was genuinely sweet. I highly remember this place. .

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!
