Stopped in for lunch. The guy behind the counter was very nice. My sister and I both got the special. A gyro with fries for $14. Great price, the establishment was very clean. Food came out quick, the ingredients were very fresh and the gyro was great. Great place for a quick bite! read more

Enjoyed the food here. They had a gyro and fry special for $13 what a great deal! No one was in there when we arrived then a few more tables showed up after. Our order was taken right away and about 10 minutes later food was ready. Gyro was nothing amazing but tasty none the less. Would come back and try something else as a few of their menu items looked yummy. read more

Unfortunately going to stop coming here.They charged me $11for a side salad. I know times are tough but that is crazy. read more

Second time here because I couldn't stop thinking about my first visit, and it definitely didn't disappoint! The service is always friendly, the restaurant is clean, the food is incredible, and the overall ambiance is so welcoming. Kabob Koobideh is moist, flavorful and big. And the baklava... so so good Perfectly balanced--not overly sweet or greasy. I can't wait to come back again! read more

GREAT GREEK FOOD! We were greeted right away - there was one person waiting for his to-go order. The menu is nice - not too many items but not too little. They have specials available. I got the #1 Koobideh plate and my boyfriend got a gyro, baba ghanoush, falafel and the soup. Everything came out amazing! The guy was so nice - he explained things and had a nice chat with my boyfriend (who is a foodie and loves to cook as well). Price is great and you get a lot! The place is small with some tables. I think most people order take out - nothing wrong with that! If I lived in Everett, I'd definitely frequent the Black Olive. read more

Ordered take out, so can't comment on ambiance, however inside seating seemed scarce. I ordered the lamb/beef gyro with a side of fries. It was good, no complaints. read more

Food was fresh but needed more flavor. Very nice folks. For a quick pick up Its acceptable.

Thank you Black Olive for the exceptional, friendly service and an amazing first experience!! See you again very soon!! read more

If you are looking for authentic Mediterranean food, you have to stop in. This place doesn't look like much when you first drive up and even when you walk in. However, their food is superior. Packed with flavor and generous portions, I haven't left disappointed. I usually get the their lunch Koobideh (beef) special or the lamb/beef gyro. The meat is so tender and flavorful. The lunch special comes with salad and basmati rice. The white basmati rice is topped with saffron rice!!! So hard to find this made well. The owner will come and routinely check on you and ensure you are enjoying your meal. He teats his restaurant and customers like a Michelin rated spot. You can see feel how proud he is of the business. Trust me, you don't want to sleep on this restaurant. Give em a try and support local business. read more

Black Olive Mediterranean Cuisine - Koobideh Lunch Special. About $16 dollars. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Everett, Washington

I don't think I ever made it to whatever was in this location previously, but this place has now made it into my lunch rotation. I was originally attracted to the name and am a little disappointed there are not more black olives served here. It's fast, with parking that's easier than a lot of places in this area and there are usually plenty of spots to sit. They usually have a daily lunch special. It tends to be more food than I can eat. I like that they have the option to make the falafel gyro vegan upon request. I've tried the dolmas. I absolutely love the hummus, it's got the best flavor of any around and is a large portion. My lunch partner is also a fan. Everyone working here is super friendly. read more

I randomly decided to give this place a try and it did not disappoint! Service was friendly and helpful. Upon recommendation I ordered the steak and lamb plate. It came with a greek salad, meat, rice, pita and some awesome tzatziki. I got my order to go but could have easily been comfortable sitting there. I will definitely be going back again when in Everett. read more

I spent all day trying to find fresh non heavy food delivery. This was more than I expected. The meat, salad and sauces are top notch. So happy I found this place. Sorry, I scarfed it down before I took a picture. read more

Good size portions, and the meat was tender, flavorful and well cooked! I had ordered through Uber eats and the prices were very high(as usual). Prices on their menu would make the portions a very good deal. Babaganoush was delicious! Rice lacked flavor, but tzatziki made up for it. Would for pick up or dine in again. read more

It was all very tasty! We had Greek fries, falafel, a side of hummus, side of pita, and the beef and lamb gyro sandwich. There were lots of really good flavors and it wasn't bland at all. All the ingredients seemed fresh and just made. I ordered for delivery on GrubHub and it was all still warm when I got it. I would like to go in person to eat and see what the restaurant is like sometime. read more

Terrific food, friendly service. A no-frills place with a few tables and a brisk take-out business. I had the avgolemono soup, which had a nice lemony bite, and the falafel: crispy, deep fried with a creamy tzatziki sauce. My friend had the gyros sandwich. She really liked the taste and tender chunks of lamb. The prices are reasonable too. We will be back! read more

So the food wasn't awful. I got lamb dish and Dolmas. The Dolmas came first and they were warm, but they did not have meat in them and they were served with a tzatziki sauce that was not great You could tell they did not use good quality or even Greek yogurt. It was a very low fat American yogurt consistency. The lamb was tender and seasoned well however the Greek salad came with another dollop of tzatziki. I don't know what nationality the owners are but a classic Greek salad is an olive oil and red wine vinegar vinaigrette with oregano nothing heavy and definitely not creamy. The Basmati rice was white rice topped with what looked like a Basmati (tumeric color) but flavor was lacking, and the person at the counter was on his phone the whole time. I would say if you can just pick up a couple kabobs and make dinner at home on your own I would recommend the lamb. read more

This is a 3 1/2 star review. I like the tiny and intimate interior of this restaurant. Just a handful of tables and an odd shaped front section. My food to go was ready quickly. I got the shrimp kebab plate. I liked the rice, sauce and shrimp. It had good flavor and was cooked well. However, for $15 I was sad there was only a single skewer on a pile of rice. I did get a few pita triangles, but it didn't come with hummus. Which I will say, of all my Greek food endeavors, this was the first time the meal had no hummus. The Greek salad was pretty good, but for a place called Black Olive, I wish I would've had more than 1 single black olive. read more

Went to Black Olive today for lunch. Excellent! Small and tidy spot. They had a combo special with one ground beef kebab and one chicken - along with rice, salad, pita, and tzatziki for $20. It was huge. And more importantly - delicious! I am half Persian so I know a good kebab. These were moist and tasty. And I ended up with leftovers. I will be back with the hubby. read more

The food here always tastes like it is made with love and care! The onions are sliced thinly enough to soak up other flavors in your gyro, the dressing on the lettuce is just tangy enough to contrast with the creamy sauce. It's the little things that add up to a big difference in flavor. Also, I always get fresh fries here, never soggy. If it's cold outside, order their special tea. It's delicious. read more

I ordered the Greek fries and received whatever this is would not recommend going at all read more

Where has this place been hiding??? In plain sight, apparently! I've lived in Washington State since 2001, and being half-Persian, I can tell you hands-down that this is the BEST ground beef kabob (Kabob Koobideh) and chicken kabob (Joo-jeh kabob) that I have had. Far better than the pretentious places in Bellevue, and far FAR better than Caspian could ever aspire to be. Everything was delicious, and I ended up taking half of it home. The kabobs were so beautifully made. Amazing flavors and textures. I'm a diabetic, so I really can't (ought-not) eat rice very often, but I can tell you, this place may be the reason I finally lose a toe. Farzad, the owner, was a very kind and gracious host. We dined-in, and it was very clean and hospitable. I can't wait to go back! read more

The best Mediterranean food I've ever had! Such good food!!! We have tried the steak kebab, chicken and gyros, all great.

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. You can tell they really care about quality. Definitely coming back! read more

the food was under seasoned and underwhelming. the people were kind, and the lighting was bad.

This place is bomb Got the Gyro special that came with fry's and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place, going back for sure. Also suggest the baklava! Service and ambiance is good. read more

I had the combo plate with beef and chicken skewers, rice, greek salad, pita, and tzatziki. It was absolutely delicious with so many great flavors and enough food for two. read more

I had the Koobideh Kabob Plater and my wife had the falafel gyro with fries. The kabob was seasoned very. The potion size was great. It could have fed two people quite well. My said the falafel had a little spiciness and good flavor to it. The owner was very friendly and checked on us to see if everything was satisfactory. The restaurant was cozy and quaint. Most of their business seemed to be takeout orders. read more

Black Olive is a very small restaurant, but the food is very delicious and fresh. Also, their service is wonderful and so far is the best Mediterranean/Persian restaurant in Washington state. We love their food and customer service and we have taken our friends and family there several times. read more

Great little hole-in-the-wall with authentic cuisine and a few flavors I haven't tried at other typical Greek restaurants. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Although the inside was a little outdated, it was still clean. read more

Food so good. I wish there were 6 stars. I have missed good Persian food since moving from LA. This is that good. The hummus is just right. The pitas are warm and fresh. The chicken kabob and salad and rice are all spectacular. Not as fond of the tsaztiki though. The owners are lovely. Service was great. The location and setting is not lovely but the food is so worth it. read more

Oh my goodness! SO delicious I haven't had Mediterranean food in a while and oh man oh man my chicken gyro was delicious The service was speedy and nice I liked the counter table and chairs to sit in front of the window while I waited for my meal to go. Can home and my gyro was wrapped nice and tight so it didn't fall apart since I'm a messy eater I will definitely be coming back! read more

Meh... I have never had bland Greek food before. This meal was ok - the food was fresh and nicely portioned. The service was fine. However, there was minimal lemon, garlic, oregano, peppers, or anything zippy. Oh well. read more

This hole-in-the-wall diner has food that makes up for its size - delicious Mediterranean yum!!

It's small. It's off the main drag near the water. But oh man, is the food good. Fast service, not the cheapest, but I definitely am not complaining. It's not like you pay $17 and just get the $8.99 lunch special. It's good. The people are friendly. The place is clean But it's small...like holds ten people small. read more

Love this place for lunch! Gyro meat is perfect and all sauces are in house made & delicious!

Fresh and delicious! Ordered the chicken kabob plate and devoured it all. Rice was light and fluffy, chicken was perfect with that wonderful grilled flavor, pita was warm and tender, and the tzatziki was so refreshing I could have drank it! Came with a side of green salad to round out a healthy, tasty, well-balanced meal. Small, clean restaurant with parking in front. Baklava in the display case looked so tempting and delicious but we were kinda full from dinner. Definitely recommend! read more

I ordered take out from here and it was so good!! Don't be fooled by the outside of this place or the location because the food is bomb. I picked up my food 15 minutes later after calling to place my order. The staff were super nice and recommended other dishes to try at my next visit. I'm certainly going to take them up on their offer because tonight's was delicious. I got the chicken kebab plate and it is filling! It is very large portions and the chicken is phenomenal; it's moist, flavorful, juicy, and you get lots of it! The rice, pita, and Greek salad were the perfect companions to make this meal a treat. I really like the vinaigrette for the salad and the yogurt sauce for the chicken and rice is something to drool over, it's fresh tasting with herbs and brightness. The staff knew I would be back because I'm already planning my meal for my next visit! read more
