We had Golden Olive cater our event and the food was a huge hit! Everyone loved all the dishes. Top quality food and flavor. The chicken, stuffed grape leaves, hummus, salad, rice... all excellent. The staff are friendly and professional all the way. Thanks for helping to make our event a success. read more

Another solid find! Mediterranean is always my go to and this small, what appears to be family run business nailed it. Solid chicken shawarma with all the fixings and baba ghanoush with amazing pita bread were so memorable, I will definitely be coming back. read more

This looks like a small family business and we should do our best to support establishments like this You can tell the food is homemade as it has an authenticity you can't find easily The pitas look like they're made in house and they were delicious I got the vegetarian plate and it was very good. You can tell the hummus is made fresh with soaked chickpeas. It had great flavor. The falafel were still warm and crispy even though I got take out and my food was probably in the container a half hour. The baba ghanoush was Smokey and flavorful too It also came with pickled turnips and a chili pepper. The dolmas were still warm and tasted just like my Turkish friends mom would make them The tabouleh added a good amount of acid Everything was really well seasoned The only surprise was I didn't realize this restaurant was in the same plaza as riip where parking can be sometimes challenging to find read more

Tool a nice bike ride along the beach front and ended up here. We were browsing the app for a place to eat and found the Golden Olive. The restaurant is small, but offers both inside and outside seating. A quick look at the menu and we decided on the Chicken/Beef plate and Steak plate. A stand alone cooler next to the register contains numerous beverage options, including beer. We were politely greeted by Miriam and she gave us menus and seated us. We sat outside since the weather was fantastic. The food was delicious and the portions were ample. We both thoroughly enjoyed the pita bread. It came to us first, steaming hot and scrumptious. We will definitely be going back! read more

Another fan-favorite in the hizhouse. Mediterranean will forever be my #1 dinner of choice and Golden Olive has perfected the art of shawarma. I've been to this location a half-dozen times over the past few years and always leave feeling satisfied. While the food is on the pricier side (as Mediterranean food tends to be) the portions are abnormally large. If you think of this in terms of girl math, you're actually getting three meals in one. So it's really financially irresponsible if you don't dine here. The plates come packed with rice, salad, hummus, pita, and the juiciest meats. I've ordered their chicken shawarma consistently and will never stray away from this menu option. read more

First time at this family owned and operated gem! Ii is a casual restaurant. I ordered the golden platter so I could sample a variety of meats. I asked for no rice and extra salad. My order came with freshly baked bread, which was amazing! The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and it has a lot of parking. I can't wait to come back and try the lamb chops. read more

My wife and I have been several times here during our college years and we truly enjoy this place! The service was alright this time but the food made up for it. Here's what we ordered: Appetizers: their complimentary pita bread was fluffy and tasty and garlic dipping sauce was delicious. Mediterranean pizza: this was an amazing pie as it tasted delicious, was fluffy, and not too doughy. Most important part of a pizza is the dough and it was on point and fresh. Golden olive mushroom: it was good! The meat was tender and the dough was perfect. Eggplant and falafel wrap: the falafel wrap was very lovely but the eggplant was even better. It would have been nice if they gave hummus on the side. Chicken platter: we were expecting a tastier chicken because it was not flavorful, seasoned well, nor spicy enough. Rice was decent. Chicken warp : the chicken was moisty and cooked well! The only thing problem was the tomato was not chopped small enough. Overall, food was fantastic and highly recommended as its location is also amazing right next to the beach! read more

This place is delicious. Their fresh homemade pita bread is spectacular. Great for take out!

Had a nice dinner at Golden Olive with my wife, and overall, it was a solid experience. The restaurant itself is decent--nothing too flashy, but comfortable enough for a casual meal. The food, however, was the highlight. Service is good. I ordered the chicken shawarma with chips, and it was delicious--perfectly seasoned, tender, and served with crispy chips that complemented the dish well. My wife went for the pita bread with three dips, which she really enjoyed. The variety of flavors and the freshness of the dips made the meal feel special. While the ambiance might not be anything to write home about, the food definitely makes up for it. We're definitely planning to come back soon! read more

I order spaghetti with Marinara sauce and mushroom and herbs. This is on the menu. I came home, there is no mushroom and they said the menu is incorrect:(.. I order another dish : BAKED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE ALFREDO: The menu says, it serve with Penne pasta which should look like a a short, cylinder-shaped pasta with diagonal.. Instead I got Fettuccine.. :(.. so dispappointing.. Do not order Italian food from here!!!! read more

Catered family meal for 20. Ready for pick up at the scheduled time and the food was a hit with everyone- even the vegan crowd! Basically we ordered the makings for the Golden Platter that included: rice, salad, falafel, dolma, hummus, pitas, chicken & lamb kabobs with a delicious garlic sauce. It was so much food and all of it was fresh and at the perfect temperature. Would definitely recommend for a crowd or just a small family dinner. The owners really take pride in their food and it is consistently flavorful, good quality and fresh! read more

After finishing a subpar surf session at Dog Beach, I wanted to eat something clean and healthy. I drove down PCH and came across this hidden gem. Golden Olive is a quaint mom and pop shop that serves delicious Mediterranean food at affordable prices. I ordered the Falafel Wrap and was surprised that it came with BBQ chips and a vibrant salad. They make an in-house pesto like salad dressing that tasted incredible on the salad and on the pita wrap. The Pita Wrap had hummus dressing and the falafel was nice and crispy. The staff, an Egyptian family, were extremely welcoming and checked in with their patrons to ensure they were satisfied with their dishes. It's food like this that makes me feel connected to where I live, but also transports me to new places. Surfing and Golden Olive remind me how fortunate I am to live in Southern California and what a blessing it is to experience such diverse and unique cuisines from around the world. read more

Chicken and shrimp kabob platter = A+ The pita bread tastes like what I imagine manna would've tasted like back in Moses' day. Pros of social media: Orange County Reddit and the recommendations they give for certain food reccs. Sometimes I'm a little cautious because I know there's a lot of trolls out there who love being sarcastic so I made sure to confirm with Yelp first to look thru the menu and pictures prior to coming. Can't wait to come back with my husband! I learned that they've been open since Dec of 2013. It's great to see them doing well and providing such delicious food for the community. read more

We came to Golden Olive because we were craving Greek food. This is not a Greek restaurant. It is a Mediterranean style restaurant with Egyptian influences. The restaurant is a mom and pop operation that sits in a strip mall. It is also next to Subway Sandwich Shop if that helps. We entered and we were greeted by a lovely hostess/cashier/server. She was excellent. My cousin ordered the shrimp and chicken platter and I ordered the falafel platter. The star of the show was the pita bread. It came out fresh and hot. I eat this bread forever!!! It was so good. My cousin loved her food. I didn't like my falafel because it had sesame seeds on them. My hummus was bland and the dolmas (grape leaves) were stuffed with a flavored rice I didn't care for. I still gave them a 5 because the food was fresh!! I will definitely comeback for that pita bread and I would like to try their pasta dishes. read more

First of all the place is really dirty. Outside seating area looks like it never gets washed down and the windows are filthy! By the restroom is an old mop! The lady in the front kept rolling her eyes at me when I was ordering my food. We have come here for years but it has really gone down hill. They're taking over the subway spot. Hope they clean up their act before that whole corner looks like trash! read more

1-18-2025 We - one of my gfs and I decided to venture to this establishment for a late lunch. She had the golden platter and I opted for the filet mignon and lamb kabobs combo. Lots of choices on their menu. Our food was served quickly and flavorful. Not much ambiance. Just six tables. Definitely casual. This place is on Warner, across the Jack in the Box on PCH. Behind the gas station next to Subway. read more

The moment the pita bread hit the table, I know everything is going to be good, the pita bread is fresh, puffy and crispy, so delicious with the garlic sauce. However, they still managed to surprise me. The food here is excellent! We got the butterfly shrimp and kabob entree, shrimp is very flavorful, kabob is seasoned and grilled to perfection. Everything is house made. You can taste the effort they put into all their dishes. Owner is super friendly too. Can't recommend this restaurant enough. read more

The food here is delicious and reasonably priced. I had the lamb kabob plate. It came with 4 pieces of the BEST homemade pita bread!! The lamb was seasoned and cooked perfect, the rice was good, the hummus excellent, and the garlic sauce and some kind of green parsley and olive oil sauce that were so good! Good service. It's kind of a little hole in the wall, so not a fancy date place, but you can tell that it's a local favorite! Food is consistently delicious! read more

As a fellow middle eastern, who's been raised eating the food and will try all the places I can possible... I am very picky! I usually judge a place based off of the TABOULEH (which was 5000 stars) and the HUMMUS (which was I would say 3 out of 5, only cause I don't like when places use too much tahini. The DOLMAS WERE FROM SCRATCH AND GLORIOUS!!!! The portions of the plates were a bit small for the price you're paying.... (Meat wise- 4 chunks or chicken and 4 chunks of filet mignon for 22 bucks).... Everything seems made to order and was just so flavorful which makes it worth it. They are also very kind and had forgotten to punch in one of our entree plates and gave it to us for free cause the wait which is sooooo sweet as many places are just cheap and stingy these days... anyways.... GO TRY IT!!! read more

Small family restaurant that serves amazing middle eastern recipes. All of their dishes are authentic and fresh (not the typical garbage that is served under the "Mediterranean" umbrella). Most of the items are vegan and they are very well cooked without a ton of salt or drenched in oil. Their dining area is small and they don't have much of a patio but you can simply order to go and literally walk across the street to the beach (can't beat that). read more

The food is incredible and the portions are very generous but I'm removing a star because the service wasn't great; they refused to serve tap water and want to sell you only bottle water. Under California Health and Safety Code Section 114075, food facilities must provide safe drinking water. In practice, most restaurants provide tap water for free upon request, especially to customers who are dining in. We also asked for extra dressing and garlic sauce and the wanted to charge us $1 for a small container sauce or salad dressing. read more

A hidden gem in Huntington Beach. Small family owned restaurant that serves quality Middle Eastern food! The filet mignon (medium-rare) entree is my go-to order every time. The meat is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. This entree is served with a generous portion of fresh pita bread that always comes out piping hot! Today we decided to try their Seabass on their new seafood menu and it was very good as well. Highly recommend adding this to your next food adventure! read more

Golden Olive! The food was incredibly delicious. The chicken and beef kabobs were nearly perfect. The garlic sauce was phenomenal; I could smell the garlic from afar. The pita bread was unbelievably perfect, and the hummus was also excellent. The portion sizes were just right. The only drawback was the wait time--over 30 minutes before we were served. However, I understand, as the restaurant was quite busy. Amd the atmosphere was quite like no music no tv nothing at all , juzt you and the food Overall, it was a satisfying experience. read more

Here's aThe restaurant has a lot going for it, but there's room for improvement. The food was okay--not the best quality. The beef was a bit barren, but the portion sizes were good, and the bread served alongside was fantastic. The service was polite and friendly, though they seemed a bit understaffed during peak traffic times. One of the highlights is definitely the location--being right next to the beach with such a great view really adds to the experience. Overall, it's worth a visit, especially for the atmosphere, but there's potential for improvement in food quality and staffing. read more

For three years I've been a contented takeout customer. When I saw you were offering seafood I thought it would be best as a dine in. The fish was great! What was such a big disappointment was charging me $2.07 for water (after my ordering a Modelo besides). Seriously? It was one of those cheap plastic bottles that crumple when you try to twist the cap to open. Ten or twenty cents at most from the supply company. It's not the two bucks on a sixty-dollar bill, it's the principle. If you're looking for good seafood at a fair price, this is the place. BRING YOUR OWN WATER. read more
