This is a small venue with limited seating, but the food is great and the portions are generous. I have had very good food everytime I've had them. Their falafels are pretty good and the hummus is smooth and tasty. The meat is always tender and tasty.

Easily my top 10 restaurant in Des Moines. If you're looking for a delightful taste of the Mediterranean, The Green Olive is a must-try. This restaurant has won over locals with its friendly service and fantastic food.One of their star dishes is the schwarma wrap. Packed with savory chicken, creamy sauce, and healthy veggies with their signature green sauce, it's a flavor explosion in every bite. The green sauce, in particular, is a customer favorite, adding a unique touch that keeps you coming back for more.Another menu item that deserves a shoutout is the fried potatoes with cilantro sauce. These crispy potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to any dish, and the cilantro sauce adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that takes them to the next level.Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, The Green Olive is sure to impress with its delicious food and warm hospitality.
Oh my God, I didn't know what this place was , passed by it multiple times. Finally went in and I must say the food is soo good. Well worth my money. The food was even pretty not just shoved in a box.Parking: It's in a shopping area so there's plenty of parking

Always wholesome and delicious. The meats are perfectly grilled and not dry. Besides, I love their fresh salad with garlic dressing and the cilantro green sauce is just super yummy

Wasn't sure what to expect, the Mrs picked this place. For my "first" Greek experience (not including other Gyros)There was a LOT of meat in our dishes.The place was busy we had crappy seats, but the food made up for it.We felt honored because the table we were @, had "special" chairs. Who knew? We'll be back to try other items.
My first time there, so a lot of new favors and new to me foods. I will go back, but I will try something different..

Tried this place because I was craving a gyro. Read the raving reviews and wanted to try it. Glad we did! Food was delicious! Meal portion was plentiful. Service was great! People were kind and helpful. Prices are decent. The place is small, but worth it! Will definitely be back! My gyro pic with spicy potatoes ?

This place is fantastic, wish there was a location on the west side in WDM/Urbandale but it’s well worth the drive ! Great portion sizes, great flavor, friendly staff, and whenever we eat in the restaurant it’s always busy! Which is surprising these days because most are always empty it feels like on the west side.Love the shawarma!
