The Green Olive - Mediterranean Near Me - Compton, California

GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT FOOD! What more could ya reallly ask for!!!??? Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because their beverage machine that dispensed unsweetened tea was out of order... when i picked another beverage, water came out.. .. I'm not into carbonated drinks so the soda machine was definitely not for me. Would have been a cherry on top to wash my food down with unsweetened iced tea instead of having zero beverage... maybe next time though. Don't be discouraged by the appearance of this place ...The place, when ya enter, can be a bit deceiving. It really doesn't look like much... restaurant furniture kind of looks like something that came out of an L.A.U.S.D. classroom in the 80s, but it's functional and CLEAN to say the least. Now the food, oh man the food!!! FOOD: ordered the shrimp and salmon plate. SHRIMP PLATE: included 2 skewers with a ton of rice, salad, and hummus. SALMON PLATE: included 2 skewers (with good, tasty, large chunks of salmon and veggies which included; green bell pepper, purple onion, zucchini, yellow squash), rice, salad, and hummus. Oh oh and they give this bomb green sauce...jesus take the wheel and try it!!!!!! PRICE 30$ FOR BOTH PLATES. I would definitely try again!!! Until next time little gem!!! read more

That was delicious! For $15, with a whole dinner in wait ( from the Combo Trio lunch plate). The place is clean. Amen! As one of those holes in the wall in a non-descript location, this was an essential. Plenty of staff. When I walked in, one guy was eating in peace, and the tables, counters, and grill was clean. I was thinking I missed the lunch rush, but now also that they closed after lunch. Nope, just a lull. After I ordered, 10 more folk filed in. And employees came out of hiding: to help orders, help cook, keep clean, etc. The options are sufficient. I think there were plates up to #15; I can't be sure. But from those who wanna eat a little, to those who want to eat a lot, they've got you. From chicken to fish to beef combos, to veggie (why?), they've got you. The food is good. Yum! Everything e=was delicious--okay, the ground beef cooked a bit much, but everything else was absolutely delicious! read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! Food is always fresh to order and customer service is great. I always order the salmon, beef, and shrimp kabobs with the spicy potatoes...OMG! Yummy! read more

Food is absolutely delicious. Pricey but very well worth it. My sister introduced me to this place and I absolutely fell in love. The chicken and steak kabobs were tender and seasoned ti perfection. Will definitely be revisiting this place 5 stars hands read more

Man, this place is Jank City. One of the few places I've been to that does not honor their own rewards program. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth... and I'm not just talking about food. If you're gonna have a rewards program honor it, and even if you decide to transition out of it, honor it for the customers who have been accumulating their rewards. Food wise, at best, this place is okay. It used to be better in the past. Now, it seems like a shell of itself. I've had better Mediterranean food, so this is just average. It'll hit the a spot if you're in the mood for Mediterranean. Once upon a time, I would've given this place a higher review,but after all these disappointments, this place is just "meh" read more

I went there because I got a free $10 meal unfortunately most of the meals that I would've liked to eat was way over $10. So I tried one of the chicken meals and it was OK. read more

The foid is very good Mediterranean Quesine I enjoyed the different foods and desserts. The servers are pleasant and welcoming. The resturant wasclean and decorated nice. There are more than one locations. I went to the one On Victoria just West of Wilmington. P.S. there is a large rental party space in the back Large enough for a Huge Birthday Celebration. You can have your own bar and DJ Yes I would recommend this place. Yes I would return read more

Hit or miss. Ordered my favorite, kafta plate and I can't believe they have the audacity to put this brick on a plate and actually give it to a customer.. you can see how dry it is. The flavor is ok on everything. I also ordered a veggie salad with just yellow squash and Zucchini, $9 kinda high but.. it's the overcooked kafta brick for me and this isn't the first time. read more

The Green Olive - A brick... or kafta? Ion know. - Mediterranean Near Me - Compton, California

I've never in my life had a falafel this bad... It was cold and hard like it had been made hours before and just stuffed in between cold vegetables and a cold pita wrap. I opened it up and put them in the microwave for 15 seconds, trying to revive them, but they were like hockey pucks. So terrible. What a waste of money. This location is nothing like the Green Olive on Long Beach Blvd. I'd be shocked if they were affiliated with each other because that location has delicious fluffy falafel's and pillowy pita. Not a hard wrap type pita. Really really bad. read more

I usually go to the downey one but it is just TOO crowded. Plus sometimes the attitudes are not the greatest. But when you need green olive, you need it! I didnt know this location was even here, but it was not crowded and the woman who helped us was so nice!! Food was amazing as usual and they followed my doordash instructions too. Keep being awesome - i definitely want to come to this location wayyy more!! read more

Decided to give this place a try since I was craving some chicken kabobs. Had never heard of this place until I saw it on Yelp and decided to order via grub hub. Food was delivered fairly quickly and over all I have to say it did not disappoint. The prices seemed fair given the size of the plate and everything it came with. Ordered the chicken kabob plate and one combo that included the "spicy" potatoes. The chicken was flavorful and not dry. The humus and pita bread was also very good. The potatoes were not as spicy as I had expected but did have a good flavor overall. I'd definitely consider trying something different at this place. read more

The food is good. I usually order the lamb chop plate.. I've been going here for years and never got disappointed..

Very good food. Really good food... But the bathroom has a horrible septic smell that goes into the dining area and really kills it all... Really bad smell. Really... read more

No joke I'm obsessed I've tried almost everything it's a 110% the best and definitely recommend for sure. The people are awesome and the food is perfect every time. They have outside and inside seating and good for big parties. read more

The food is authentic Mediterranean. My favorite is the hummus and pita bread. The kabobs are juicy and seasoned to perfection.

Flavor, Flavor, Flavor!! Delicious , well seasoned Mediterranean food. Can we say Salmon kabob ladies and gentlemen? I could eat it everyday. So delicious! I've ordered from The Green Olive several times and have never been disappointed. read more

Ordered the Gyro mix both the chicken and the beef were cooked perfectly. Both tender and flavorful. The gyro meat was also delicious. Highly recommend the place. read more

As good as it gets! Everyone is so kind here. Happy to see the dining room is open again! I had "The Works" because I couldn't decide, which means I get a little taste of everything, lucky me! From the salad to the falafel to the stuffed grape leaves to the beef skewer to the rice to the chicken skewer to the kofta and pita, not to mention the hummus, yogurt and secret green sauce, I started to wonder how the heck they do all of this so perfectly. I noticed the prices went up a little but people do not mind paying for top quality and that's exactly what you get at Green Olive!! read more

Casual lunch restaurant serving Mediterranean food. it's a little on the higher price side but isn't every place! The food was excellent as was the service!! read more

Today is first time I had horrible service. I ordered via chownow. Order was missing one of my items I paid for so I needed to go back & tell them. Then I order a churro since it's a new item & as I bite into it I taste the batter.. it wasn't fully cooked.. disgusting! read more

The Green Olive - Churro still raw.. do not order it! I would return it but I'm at work now. Very disappointed!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Compton, California

Yummy smells. Visual hunger, just looking around, very peaceful. Would take family and some of my best friends

Good place I love Greek food hands down always the food around town I had to Order the food outside of Compton

Grab and go chicken kabob beef kabob salad and rice service is very fast and nice and cool if you decide to eat there.

This is my go-to spot for Mediterranean Food, the staff is friendly, the food itself is very delicious, I have tried the Gryo Mix, beef kabob and The works. The quality is amazing, and I highly recommend it checking this restaurant out. read more

Delicious flavor. Id you're in the mood for Mediterranean in the are. This is the best place to go. I always get the Greek salad with salmon and I order a side of the spicy potatoes. Delicious! Don't forget to ask for a couple sides of the spicy green sauce. read more

Good prices and good portions. Warm greeting from the owner. Conveniently near work and I can go there for lunch or grab something in my way home. read more

Omg This place rocks. For the price you can't beat the delicious slap in the face. Found this jewel on Yelp and am glad I did. I went with the Works (#19). read more

The Green Olive - The WORKS (#19) works for me!!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Compton, California

I order the veggie platter all the time when I get too lazy to pack lunch. The veggie platter is so good. I work Monday Tuesday Wednesday and whatever staff works those days is great. Whether I order pick up or delivery, they always get it right. The only issue I had was on a Sunday. I was served two veggie skewers instead of 3 and they gave me the wrong salad. But honestly, out of the MANY times I have came here they have only mess up my order once. So I still leaving it a 5 star. read more

This place is a great go-to spot for food that is consistently good. I order individually but have also ordered the party platters for office events. I'm going to review both. First, the party platters. It was simple to order and only needed a few days lead time. We got rice, salad, kebabs, and several varieties of meat to go with the pitas. The food was well portioned, hot, and delicious. The only change I would have made was asking for more salad dressing as it wasn't quite enough for the entire pan of salad. 17 people ate the food and no one complained-- a rare occurrence when doing something at work! Ok, now for my individual experience. I normally order either a large Greek salad with extra feta and extra dressing or the falafel plate. Both items are top notch. The large salad is too big for me to finish (I can eat a lot!) so I get the smaller size. The falafel plate comes with 5 falafel, a side salad, 2 pita, and some pickled veggies. If I eat all of the plate I feel stuffed! Again, both items are delicious and are consistent in quality. Portions are good sized as well. I don't leave hungry! There is indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. Parking is a nightmare during the lunch rush but not an issue outside of that time slot. Prepare to park on the street if you come during the lunch rush. read more

picked up lunch for my staff and it was delish! the parking lot is a mess so i'd suggest going during off times. staff friendly. will be back. read more

Not much to say about Green Olive that hasn't already been said. It's a staple at our work ... mostly bc they deliver. Coming from a Mediterranean household, I can say their food holds up pretty well and the flavors are good. I've had the Chicken and Beef Kabobs, the Gyro plate and a few wraps. Everything has always been fresh and tasty. Their rice and hummus are also good (though the rice is a bit buttery for my taste). Stay Cheerful ;) read more

Really good food!! Place was nice and clean. Wish the food was a little warmer but that's just preference. Overall would definitely go again! read more

The portion size was large and worth the price. I felt there was something missing, a bit bland from what I am used to but please don't get that confused with bland food. The food was tasty and everyone loved it, I am just used to the flavors popping out more. Other than that, definitely would order again but takeout. Delivery had so many sub charges. read more

The food at The Green Olive was amazing. I ordered a Chicken Shawarma Wrap with a side of Spicy Potatoes. My goodness, the wrap was great and the spicy potatoes were out of this world thanks to the spicy green sauce that it was cooked in. I'm saving this place for future trips to Compton. Highly recommend. Thank you so much. read more

I was craving Mediterranean food and this place was the first that popped up when I searched on Yelp. I ordered the vegetarian platter. It was so friggin good!!!! I totally underestimated this place. The best grape leaf wraps I've had thus far. They were so moist and full of flavor. My vegetarian platter came with hummus, falafel, grape leaf and green salad. As a vegetarian, I really dislike salads but this one was mixed with rice I think so the flavor wasn't bland and the best part is that you don't need dressing for it. I highly recommend this place. read more

Their food is simply awesome. Best hummus and gyro I ever had. The chicken and beef are great too as is the salmon. But seriously, the hummus and pita are the star of the show. I can eat a whole tray of it, and sometimes... I almost did. They cater as well and we have had a few parties catered by them. read more

The only reason I give two starts is because I USED to love the food and service, however the past two times I have gone they've burned my food. The garlic potatoes were way past crisped it leaves that burnt after taste in your mouth. I was very disappointed. Wasted my money for nothing (UPDATE): someone reached out to me about this. They ensure that I was able to go back and get this resolved. Thank you for caring for your customers read more

We got everything from steak to chicken and shrimp, a tray of rice salad, and hummus . Let me just say The quality the quantity the taste the service I mean it was perfect. It was a bit far from my home but I would definitely keep ordering and going Back without a doubt. Hopefully I can stop in and dine in when all this pandemic is said and done. It's arguably the best Mediterranean food I've ever indulged in. I highly recommend this place for dining catering or takeout truly great Mediterranean cuisine. read more
