the food at this restaurant is off the chain delicious. made from scratch every day. perfectly seasoned. the spicy potatoes are to die for. folks are warmly friendly & attentive. they subbed the potatoes for the rice for me. between us we've had pretty much everything on the menu. all delicious. highly recommend. read more

I have never had Mediterranean food before, and I came in here with an open mind and left with a full stomach. Their food was very good. The man that served me asked if I was familiar with the food I of course said no so he went and explained which sauces go with what. I was very happy and impressed. read more

Not going to lie, the first few times I avoided the little container of green sauce that came with my to go order. Now I insist on extra! I'm not sure what's in it exactly, but the kick it adds to their already delicious falafel is addictive! read more

Great food. Just a little crowded interior.

Like the beef kebab wrap here and the the fried potatoes with the green sauce.

A co-worker turned me on to this place. I had the #17 Gyro which had delicious meat, tomatoes and a tasty cucumber sauce. The bread stayed together nicely as I devoured the meat that was packed inside. The price was very reasonable as well. If you like healthy Greek food, then you need to give them a try. read more

This place is amazing!!! By far the best Mediterranean food I have had!!! This will now be my go to spot!!! The guy who took my order was so nice! This will now be my go to spot especially since they are open late!!! Love it and I know you will too!! read more

I'm a big fan of Mediterranean or Persian food so I've tried the food here a few times and it's a decent lunch spot. I like the chicken or beef kabobs and the hummus isn't bad. My fav is the spicy green sauce that they're a little stingy with. They offer lunch delivery and catering to companies in the area. If you're in the area definitely try them out. read more

I go to this place every other week or so and they never failed to satisfy my craving. The meat is always delicious, juice, and tender. However, finding a parking here at lunch can sometimes be frustrating. read more

Delicious!! Omg love this place. Chicken is so flavorful. Gryo is tastey. The potatos are outstanding! Will defintely be back.

Good food although a bit salty at times. The staff is always nice and courteous. Interior decor is blah read more

Try the potatoes in place of the rice. To die for. Not literally but extremely yummy. Its been free to switch all this time and I come here often. Today, however the switch out cost a whole $1. But in my opinion sooooo worth it. Oh and the shrimp melts in your mouth. read more

Great everything. ...just no reciept. It was a company dinner. Oh well. But food is great.

Great service, great food, abundant choices & low prices. What else can you ask for? Try their Combo Trio to get a taste of everything. I did and loved it!!! read more

Great people, great food! I never really had Mediterranean food before trying The Green Olive, and I was so impressed! I end up here a few times a month because I enjoy it that much. So many people show up at lunch time, but service is still amazing and very quick! I love living so close to this spot! read more

On point! Reminds me of a similar one back in my home town! Very fast! Clean! Friendly staff! I got the gyro wrap and it was packed with meat!! I would definitely return when visiting the Carson area! read more

My first time here this evening. I've seen it plenty of times while patronizing other establishments. Tonight I just happen to be in the back room for a special event and stepped out to get some food. The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the food is delicious with a capital D. I got the salmon kebabs, the meat was seasoned well, and it was very juicy (always a good thing for fish). I even got a dessert and that was good, too. Will I be back? Hell yeah! Will I recommend to you or a friend? Most definitely. read more

Coming from a Middle Eastern family, I wasn't impressed in the overall quality of the food. I expected a little more flavor. Service is average. read more

I just bought some gyro & filafil plates .it's around $23 for both .the food is delicious. But ,I never see any Arabic looking guys working there ........some maxicans ....lol. May be they are aramaxicans . Kith. read more

Best Falafel, iI ever had. Really good food! The sauces are amazing.. I will definitely visit again! even though the pita bread was a bit stale. Great staff! read more

Nothing out of this world. Food is alright and it's reasonably priced. Not sure if I'll be back but it was good take out.

Had the #3 here today which is a chicken kabob with yellow rice, hummus, salad and pita bread. DELICIOUS! The chicken was cooked perfect and their hummus was delicious! The only thing I didn't like was the dressing for the salad. I just don't have a taste for it. But everything was FRESH and smellled amazing and tasted even better!! Would definitely recommend!! read more

I have only tried the Gyro Wrap and it is really tasty. I always get the potatoes instead of the salad. They are just spicy enough. Can't wait to try the hookah bar one night. read more

HOOKAH REVIEW ONLY. We went to this location because the previous one we would go to was closed down and this was the closest to us. When you walk in, you walk directly into the restaurant part of this place then the lead you through another door into the hookah lounge. The furniture isn't really comfortable to "lounge" in but it's fine. One thing I really didn't like was that the lighting was too bright. I like hookah lounges to be on the darker side with good music but not too loud. (There was only one other group of people there and we were surprised that they had been there so long because they were there before us and still there when we left.) Their coals burn out pretty fast which causes ash to go into the hookah and that burns your thought we told the guys many times but he tried "fixing" it but it wasn't making anything better, we didn't even end up smoking more we just payed and ordered something from the restaurant which was good. I would go back to the restaurant NOT the Hookah lounges & BTW they don't sell alcohol at the lounge, the guy said the owner is "working on it". I say go to the restaurant but look for a different hookah lounge. read more

Delicious food, a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for! I always order the chicken kabob and gyro meat combo. The hummus is really good too! read more

Just ordered the chicken pita wrap and a coke. Paid almost $10. Barely any chicken in the wrap. It was good, but not worth the price. Disappointed. read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant looks dirty. The food was ok. The beef kabobs were nasty so chewy that you couldn't swallow it. The lamb beef was as good as anywhere else. The chicken kabob was good. The dolmades were not good. They don't even carry lemons in the restaurant. They are open till 12 since they are connected to a hookah lounge. If you want a quick bite to eat it's ok. But I recommend ordering ahead because they take forever. We were the only people in there and it took at least 25min for our food to be ready. O and the dolmades are microwaved. No table service kinda like a fast food joint. read more

This is place is great! I've had it plenty of time and every time I eat it's never disappointing! Their kabobs are amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Great little hole in the wall. Out of the way, but great food. The meat was tender, the food fresh, the employees friendly and helpful. I had the 'works' platter so I could try everything. Not a fan of the falafel, but the rest was take home, lunch tomorrow kinda thing! I recommend. read more

Easily some of the best food in the whole area. Kabobs are consistently fresh and delicious. Generous proportions and the service is great. Don't forget to ask for garlic butter! read more

My goodness, this food is delicious. I've been living down the street from this place for 3 years and never knew it existed until a week ago. I got the #1: beef kabob, which comes with salad, rice, hummus, and pita bread. Everything was cooked to perfection. Especially the meat. Tender and flavorful. Definitely going back. read more

Pretty good food. I haven't had Mediterranean food too often, so I have nothing to compare it to. The meats were flavorful and we got a lot of food for the price. As far as it being in Compton, it's not even the sketchy part of the city. So no need to BEWARE. It is in a business district and a stone's throw from CSUDH. read more

Love this place. Decent food, decent prices. 4 starts only because of what pain in the ass parking is in this plaza.

Chicken plate is really good. Ordered extra hummus is delicious. Customer service is a lil rude but it was busy when I went. Place is hidden in shopping center but would come again read more

Decided to stop here after being at a nearby location. We got hungry and looked on Yelp for something decent to eat. This place looked like a good choice and we all like Mediterranean food. Reviews were good so we all agreed. Anyhow my friend and I shared a wrap, ordered a side of hummus with a couple pitas. Her daughter ordered a shrimp kabob plate. All of it was yummy. Sharing the wrap was an awesome idea because it was a decent size. We also ordered drinks and each of us had to try some baklava. It was very very good. The location was a little shopping/food center located by the industrial center. Employees were all nice. The only compliant i have was the air. It was hot and we were there at about 3. The place had about 10 others in it and they needed to turn on the AC. I felt the AC on under the drink fountain but that wasn't helping us. Anyhow, I reduced to 4 stars due to no AC, otherwise food, service and experience was a 5. Oh parking was a bit tight, but I drive a large SUV so it's probably a personal problem lol. At that time we had no prob finding parking. read more

I was in the area for a friends graduation and didn't know where to go to eat the following day. Luckily, I was able to find this little gem on Yelp. The meats here are so tender and flavorful. The rice and the sides were so fresh and had really good flavor to them, but the best part of it all was the green sauce. It made everything taste even better. The restaurant was very clean and the employees were very helpful, especially since I'm not too familiar yet with Mediterranean food and it was my friends first time trying it. Oh yeah, the potatoes are awesome and the vegetarian platter was even better than the meats I tried! That's a first for me, considering I'm a meat lover. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

I was treated like family the greatest customer service the cook and cashier slash owner I believe are awesome guided me to order from their menu thank you read more

Yessss! Beautiful and delicious! Beef is flavorful and tender! Hummus, salad and everything fresh.

Love this place! Food is delicious. Recommend it, there's not many healthy options around.

We really like this place. The first time we went, we were so impressed we went again in the same week. We've been back since as well! The portion size, the wait staff, the food...all amazing. We've had it lamb chops, sea bass, calzone (my hubby is obsessed with the calzone), hummus, appetizer platter, etc. I really love the roasted veggies that come with everything. We also got dessert...the tiramisu!!! It's a hidden gem! read more
