    #9. Combo Trio, shrimp, chicken and beef.
    Tami W.

    We came here for a going away lunch for a colleague. It's in a kind of industrial area, so you may pass it initially. There was ample parking once I found it. We arrived at 12:15 on 12/30/25 and it was empty. Likely because of the holidays. You order at the counter and you pay right there. When your order is ready you go and get. When you're finished, you bus your own table. I don't mind that, but why is there a TIP option? I did all the heavy lifting. I'm confused. The "order taker" was delightful. Friendly, accommodating and with a very positive attitude. Thank you Rosa! The food....... I was just at a Mediterranean restaurant a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious. This one was m'eh. My shrimp was over cooked and very salty. The beef and chicken were dry and over cooked. The pita was served cold and the hummus had the texture of baby food. My colleague had the eggplant and didn't like the taste. No one else complained and several of them had been there before. The colleague leaving chose this place. I didn't enjoy my meal, but I'm willing to come back for one reason. Rosa! Felix Ano Nuevo Rosa!

    "The Works" plate. Little bit of everything

    Nice AC, spacious seating, clean, helpful friendly staff. Only thing missing is some light music. Food is in nice big portions and definitely leaving feeling full. Nice fluffy rice. Good amount of meat on the skewers

    Greek salad

    Food 3/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 3/5 Hurts me to leave a 3 star review because I've been to different locations and they are all so good however the food was disappointing this time. I got a Greek salad and the #8 combo which comes with a steak Kebob, chicken kebob and beef kafta. The portion size is great and food is fresh and good quality however the meat was VERY dry and overcooked and was disappointing. I'm Hoping the Cook just had an off day, but the meal wasn't as satisfying as I had hoped.

    I've had the pleasure of trying almost everything on the menu, and I can confidently say it's all great! My go-to order, though, is the Combo Trio--a perfect mix of chicken, beef, and shrimp kabobs served with a fresh salad, hummus, and warm pita bread. It's flavorful, satisfying, and always hits the spot. The staff here are consistently friendly and attentive, which adds to the positive experience. While the ambiance might not be ideal for a romantic dinner date, it's perfect for a casual lunch with friends or colleagues. There's plenty of space to sit, relax, and chat while enjoying a meal. If you're looking for delicious food with a laid-back vibe, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

    I tried reaching the person who handles online orders and have been sent around in circles. I placed an online order through their website on 01/01/25. And when I went to their business, it was closed for the New Years. So I assumed the next day, I could just call and get a refund as I did not get my food. They tell me there's no way I could order because they weren't open yesterday, but I literally ordered they their website. They tell me to call another store to speak with someone and I keep getting passed along. For the first two weeks I was just leaving messages for the person who is supposed to help me. Yet still nothing. I finally speak to the person and he said that I placed it thru a third party, DoorDash. And I explained that I did not. I used his website and it was placed thru otter that they use. I have not received my refund and it's been two months. That's $40.77 that I want back for food I did not receive. He said he refunded me and should see it through DoorDash but again I did not use DoorDash. The business does see my order, they could've offered just given me a cash refund if they have proof they received my payment. This is horrible that they're literally stealing from me. Left another message with the employee today and they said the person is in and out doesn't know when he will be in but will relay the message.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate
    Janet F.

    HOLY COW! I haven't uploaded a yelp review in more than 3 years but felt the absolute need to for this one. The flavors smack you in the face in the best way possible! Insanely delicious!! I want to go ahead and say this has been the best Mediterranean spot I've been to. Unfortunately, I like 3.5 hours away but wow wow wow! Can't say enough good things. Chicken shawarma? Incredible. A simple Greek salad? AMAZING. Sauces, immaculate. Service? Great! Sorry, I'm going to just be dreaming about this place for the next few weeks because WOW.

    Nice and gracious
    Dee R.

    The food was awesome. Never been there before so my daughter treated her mother to lunch. Of course I needed to use the ladies room...very clean. The employee was so very knowledgeable and made feel really special. So I will be returning back real soon

    Plate #2 Kofta Kabob
    Rachel I.

    Great service Food is amazing Small parking lot Reasonable price Our first time at this location but not our first time trying The Green Olive. It really never disappoints , food is always so fresh and delicious! The most authentic falafel you'll ever have and the baklava is so decadent! The restaurant doesn't look that exciting from the outside or inside but the food is what makes this place worth wild !!

    Was NOT a fan! Overrated and overpriced. Pita bread was hard. Garlic butter was THICK! Dookie looking sausage wasn't cooked all the way. Shrimp was overcooked and over seasoned. Rice was flavorless. The only thing good was the chicken. I've had so many other Mediterranean Places and the bar has been set so high, this place didn't compare. I got two of the same plates too, a waste. I picked over one plate and ended up giving the second away. Wasn't a fan of the dressing on the salad. Definitely feel ripped off because I paid the extra fees from grubhub since I had it delivered. I didn't even finish or eat a majority of it and it gave me an instant stomach ache & horrible gas. Don't recommend.

    Hummus

    Think value. For the price point you get a lot of bang for the buck. If you ask for the family meal you will get a salad, serving of rice, four chicken and four steak kebabs and hummus along with yogurt sauce, garlic sauce, and a spicy green sauce. They are generous with their portion size. They also give you pita bread. All of this food for around 65 dollars. Easily feeds four with some leftovers as well. The beef and chicken is seasoned well. Is it the best Mediterranean food? No. But you could not get this balance of price to quality to portion size. Service is friendly enough as well. Only wish is that they included more sauce. Fifty cent extra for each additional request. Parking is a shared lot with surrounding business in the plaza.

    Beef Kabob
    Rachel K.

    I got the #1, beef kabob, togo. The meat was much more tender than I expected and with the green sauce, is amazing.

This was my first time ordering and everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Dirty Egg Burrito (no egg), Large Dirty Rice, Cajun Fries, and the Large Poultry Gumbo Soup. The flavors were bold, well-seasoned, and comforting. The burrito was so good I planned to save it for breakfast... but ended up eating half for dinner instead. The dirty rice was full of flavor and generously portioned, perfect for stretching into multiple meals. The gumbo had plenty of broth, which I personally appreciate, and I already know mixing some of the dirty rice into it later is going to be amazing. The Cajun fries were well-seasoned; I prefer mine a bit crispier, but that's just personal preference and didn't take away from the overall experience. Everything was packed well and arrived in great condition. Overall, this was a great first experience with rich flavors and satisfying portions.

(I was feeling quite warm that day.) I was helped right away. I ordered four different sandwiches. The young fellow who took my order was very friendly and patient with me. It was my first time ordering; he was totally upbeat and helpful! Then another employee came out to help with the order, as a couple additional customers had entered the restaurant. He was also very friendly and upbeat! (I'm sorry - I should've gotten their names. Next time I'll remember!) Both guys were incredibly good at their jobs! They were able to make all of the subs quickly and correctly. It was pretty impressive, actually! They made it look so easy... and it definitely isn't that easy! I'd completely forgotten that we are members of their points program and they reminded me. All I had to do was enter my phone number in the keypad. I had enough points to get the mini sub for free!
