After standing in the meat market line for about 10 minutes, someone signaled the dishwasher to help us (dishwashing sink is directly behind the meat counter). The dishwasher lady wrapped up her last dish, reached into the drain to clean it out and then proceeded to use the same gloves to reach in and grab our steaks. She did not change the gloves. Sadly, for this reason--tho a very important reason, we will not be purchasing from here again. Poor service and unsafe food handling practices.

The owner is a great guy and gave us amazing recommendations. You can tell he is passionate about the food. All of the food is pretty much "home-made" by the owner who was the only employee there. We tried out three plates and all the sides with it too. It was delicious and came with a lot of pita bread. Overall, this is a great restaurant and the owner/chef makes the ambiance fun. Everyone should give it a try!

The Greek decor was cool, felt like I steeped back in time for a bit. The food is not cheap but the quality is superb! My wife and I both got the lamb chops with green beans , a greek side salad and a chicken lemon soup. Where do I start, ALL of what we ordered was sensational. I don't know exactly know how they prepare and cook the lamb chop but they were so amazingly tasty, not to mention the green bean blend. The chicken lemon soup was zesty and full of flavor also. Highly recommend!!!

This was my first time here, I've heard great things but I can say this was one of the best take out experiences Ive had in a very long time. Nothing was missing from my order, and the food came out hot and fresh in a timely manner. The service was also very good and efficient. The portions were VERY generous, the food was fresh, flavorful and very authentic. I recommend the Gyro plate , it came with really nice side dishes and incredible sauces like garlic tum and a spicy jalapeno sauce. We will be back!!!! We loved it!

I have loved this little shop since me and my fiancé discovered it once about 3 years ago when we…read moreboth lived in SoCal. We were going to a different place that was closed and wandered in here right before closing. They were very kind and took our order. Mixed grilled combo. And that was the start of it all... we have gone many times when we lived in SoCal we moved up north. Well we came back this weekend. And it was just like a Time Machine going back to one of our very first dates. The ambiance of the deli and market the array of different cultural spices and foods. The bar in the back and all the variety of wines drinks spirits and the amazing deli counter with the most amazing Mediterranean Plates. We have tried many other places just trying to recreate green olive. No one compares. We came back today before our (7hr) drive up home. And it was amazing. Busy staff and orders. Food takes a minute so place your order and walk around the market. We always find goodies. The food tastes just like it did all those years ago. Forever customers anytime we come down and any excuse to come to The Green Olive. Also the other locations in Oxnard and Camarillo they're good yes, but nothing compared to the Ventura location 10/10 highly recommend the lamp chops plate the gyro plate or the mixed grilled combo.

Very intriguing so I came in, when I came in I was greeted by a nice guy he left before I finished so unfortunately I didn't get his name but he was pretty tall and had a beard with a hat on he was great throughout my experience and was extremely understanding that it was my first time here he helped me choose my options and once I started I noticed the hummus was great , aswell as almost everything in my bowl, Besides the Kalamata Olives. Now to give points I will say these olives are usually salty but these were a bit extra salty just not for my liking and the cucumber was almost perfect just not the crunchy type I prefer. And finally the chicken Shawarma was good but not great. Missing some flavor but 0 flavor it's nice when paired with all other sides. Inside the restaurant I love how it looks clean neat and easy I wish the self station wasn't so hidden I didn't even notice it until I saw somebody using it maybe a bit more direction would be nice but besides that tables are clean the kitchen looks clean and so does the main area and last but definitely not least I got the Strawberry Lemonade and for me personally, way too sweet. There isn't any strawberry all you taste is the sugar and lemonade wouldn't recommend for me personally but I'd love to come back again and try the other options.
