I've been on a Mediterranean cake for about 3 weeks and we decided to try this restaurant and I'm so glad we did. I already inhaled my lunch so I can't take a picture of the food but trust me the pictures on the menu board are exactly what you get! We will be back!
Solid mediterranean casual spot to check out in the Downey area. The portions are well sized and I go here quite regularly. I've had their chicken shawarma, falafel, and recently their salmon kabob plate, which are all satisfying, delicious meals. I enjoy lathering their garlic sauce on the salad and eating the meat and rice alongside it. The salmon was not dry at all which surprised me. My mom is vegetarian and loves their falafel. One thing to keep in mind is that sometimes the staff can be quite busy and the food does take some time to prepare, so I personally like to call ahead and then pick up to eat at home.
Looking for some mediterranean fast food??? Well, look no further, this is your place! Very fast and friendly service! Bigger portions compared to other mediterranean spots and fresh ingredients! We opt for the chicken and beef kabob plate and it's never a miss! I love how the plated come with both rice, salad, and also hummus!! This is unheard of as other places only give you and option of 1 or 2 sides, while this one includes 3!!! There are some tables inside to eat in, or also an outdoor space. It can get a bit hot and smokey inside due to all the cooking, so outside fresh air could be a better choice!
Great food always fresh. Customer service is out standing. Very friendly ,They have a cute patio it feels good to get some fresh aire
Great food right near Kaiser in Downey. Nice portion sized, high quality meats, great greens, and great flavors. They have a nice outdoor patio and it is lovely inside as well. Pretty spot! Service has always been stellar!
Came here after a doctors appointment with my sister. I had been craving Mediterranean food for a while. I tried the beef koobideh plate & it definitely did not disappoint. So flavorful & filling after a long day. The rice was nice rich & fluffy. The side salad was refreshing as well. Came In around 4pm and the place seemed pretty busy for a Wednesday afternoon. Would love to come back here again.
So delicious! Green Olive is now one of my favorite restaurants. We ordered the filet mignon and shrimp platter as well as the salmon platter. They serve big portions with plenty of meat, hummus, rice, and a side salad. They also include some tasty sauces with your order. I thought it was a bit on the pricier side for 2 platters, but the fact that it comes with so much food makes it worth it. Love that the food is both healthy and flavorful.
