The food was alright. The pictures below are titled What the wrap looked like versus what the menu said it would look like.Haha.There were 2 pieces of meat in my filet mignon wrap. Pictured is the one piece I removed and placed in the tray next to my falafel.The falafels are good but not great.. they need more flavour and inside is too dense.. Also, this is not the place for baklava. It, too, lacked flavor, but it wasnt terrible.

Dont be thrown off by the location. Its located in what looks like an industrial park area. Very popular with all the local business employees of course. Consistently good green olive food. Dont miss the spicy potatoes. The Gardena location gives considerably larger portions but both are good quality. Parking is a little tight but available right in front of the restaurant most of the time.

The best mediterranean in the city! All meat kabobs so tender and full of flavor. The humus is absolutely delicious and the side are perfect accompaniments, so recommend the garlic potatoes and the spinach Philo

They change the pricing for online orders.If you dont want to get overcharged place the order there. If you ask about the overcharges your question will be followed up with sarcasm and brushed off.

Hello! I come to your restaurant weekly and I just want to say thank you so much for the delicious food you folks make. Im the guy I always get a chicken kabob wrap with just the two sauces and light cucumbers. I always get the same thing your chicken is super delicious its not over seasoned and with the combination of that Char-Broil taste perfection no one can beat it. I drive all over Southern California for work and Ive been to a lot of restaurants and this by far is one of the best chicken kebab wraps Ive had anywhere. You folks will continue to see me thanks again!

Enjoyed the food, immensely. The rice, always perfect. The chicken kabob seasoned to be remembered. I recommend this a s a healthy alternative to Mc Donald’s and the cost is better than fast food!

I come in to buy the same order of food.I always notice when there are new people and they had an attitude as soon as an elderly Hispanic lady came through. For what and I did not get the perk to stop staring at me I just dont like that type of pressure Im not prejudiced you are prejudiced.I know this place bills nice so Im trying to exclude the fact that the clerks are being territorial I hope I dont run into this again because I dont want to support a business with pressure. I dont like people feeling like they can change the world over $12 an hour honestly Im tired of thinking about it I look up two different role modelz I dont look at people and speculate as if all Im going to do is start a problem that is super disrespectful and I will not support you if you continue to have workers like this

Stop by for the first time and I wasnt disappointed. Pretty good chicken kabob meal. Liked the green hot sauce they have. The only downside was that it was a little tricky to find inside the industrial office center but now I know where its at.

I usually order delivery using Postmates, so this is purely based on the food. Its delicious, i usually order the chicken kabob plate the chicken is savory and juicy, it falls of the skewer without much effort. The rice is good the side salad is ehh but Im not a big salad fan. Their cheesecake though is yummy, a little too crumby but I can overlook it. Id say I go where the good food is and the Green Olive has good food. I tried their baklava it was my first time trying it and found it alittle too sweet.

Good food, medium pricing, parking kinda sucks during busy hours because of space so be warned to u who drive large vehicles. Seating area needs to be upgraded. If you own this joint and your reading this, stop being a cheapskate and upgrade the seating area.Overall the food was good and the staff was friendly. Would go back and I do recommend.

I did enjoy the food, I got the Gyro special. This restaurant is not visible from the street. A person needs to know which driveway to take. What I did the first time I called them for the address & brief directions to the place. The service is good but I always get mine to go & enjoy at home.

Was picking up a load across the street and had to wait. Saw the 2 chinese places and they were closed. I am so happy that they were because this food is what my husband and I needed. We ate somewhere else the day before amd were both quite nauseous. We went the whole day without eating but knew we needed something. The Green Olive was there and made us feel better with delicious well prepared food @ 8:45 PM on a Monday night. I hope to pick up in that area again for this wonderful food!

This restaurant is part of a liquor store. One of, if not the best liquor store in Long Beach. Anyways, I went to the store to get me some beer. I noticed the restaurant as I walked in. I thought, oh snap, a two for 1. Get my drink and grub in the same location. No brainer. So I grabbed my beer and went over to the restaurant to see what they were serving. Mediterranean food. It looked so good, I ordered 2 plates. Lol! It was better than good. It was delicious! Check out!

Review №71

Came here via a deal voucher, and I will say, the food was excellent. There are enough good Mediterranean places around that I wouldnt go out of my way to come back - it is kind of out of the way (unless they ran another deal, in which case maybe I would). Still, I will say, all the food was excellent, and pretty reasonably priced at its normal (non-voucher) price, too.

The Gyro meat was great for years. The last 2 times I went the meat was cut very thin and hard. Need to go back to the way it was. I will go back to see if they fixed it. If not the Mad Greek for me.

This is my favorite place for lunch when Im on campus at CSUDH. Their food is very fresh and flavorful. The green dipping sauce they give you with the platters is amazing. Location is clean and staff is nice. Good veggie Options. Lost a star because off the wait time (worth the wait but with a small break between class can be annoying, if youre an office worker call it in) and the portion sizes (if i didnt have to go back to school Id be stoked on leftovers)

A great go to lunch spot for me as I work in the area. I usually get a #8 combo and try to make my own pita sandwich with the pita break they give you. This place can get crowded at lunch, but there is always seating. if the front if full, go through the side to the back room. there is usually always seats here.
