I came across ad on Instagram for the green olive prompting there Easter feast. Not in the mood to cook for the holiday with all the pandemic I decided to order the promo and let me just say it was the best $50 bucks I spent. 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

The Green Olive Restaurant - Easter catered dinner - Mediterranean Near Me - Compton, California

Decent food at decent prices. Food: Ordered my usual ground beef stick (I forget what they are called). It was fairly decent. Came with rice, salad, pita and hummus. Not the best I've had, but not bad either. Service: Order at the counter and grab your buzzer. The food was ready surprisingly fast. I guess they're use to this lunch time rush. Environment: Very old school and plain decor inside. I would not have guessed a place with decor like this would have so much business. Price: Around $10 a pop for lunch. Not bad. Food: 3 Service: 4 Environment: 3 Price: 4 read more

Lunch: Chicken Kabob with salad rice hummus 1 pita bread 2 chicken skewers and a delicious green sauce for $10.99. It was delicious and a large serving. The restaurant was clean.

I needed food for a large group on a Sunday. I went to the Compton location. Very good service and great food

Gave it another try because I really like the food. My order this time was like the first order. Salad was fresh and the chicken kabob was delicious & seasoned very well. I appreciate the comment from the owner responding to my first post about the food quality. read more

I love this place. The service is great and the food is delicious. If you check in with yelp, you get a free drink!! It's perfect!! No matter which platter you get, they will make it fresh. Because of that, make sure that you are aware that the food will take a bit to come out to you. They make it fresh. You can always phone in your order and pick up. They also have a small fridge with desserts, including cheesecakes and baklava. It's hidden off of Victoria near Wilmington Ave. They have a large room/Hall that they rent out for events too so ask for details if you are interested in booking a party or some type of meeting. read more

I come to this place for lunch at least once a week with my work colleagues. This place never disappoints and the staff is fast, friendly, and beyond patient withers crabby, hangry, rushed clientele. Try the green spicy potatoes! read more

Overall: We will definitely return. We don't really eat out, but this place is a Must have! The Kabobs are so delicious :) Food: The food was great. We ate it so fast that we had no time for pictures. We've are here many times and never get to compliment their food. My favorite are the shrimps and my gf loves the chicken. The green sauce is tasteful with a tiny kick to the lemony taste. Service: The employees were very night. They made sure our food was ready on the time given. Environment: The inside is spacious and the banquet room is nice. The restaurant is in a little shopping center with decent competition, but community around is only okay. Parking: The entrance and exit to the parking lot is probably the worst thing of this restaurant. It's not only bad that the Victoria parking lot entrance is narrow but there are many big rigs that park between the entrance so it's nearly impossible to enter. read more

Had wondered about this place for months and finally decided to give it a try and I am glad I did! Ordered the chicken and kefta combo. Both meats were tender, very flavorful and nice portions too! Safron rice and the hummus was awesome! I am definitely looking forward to dining in again when this COVID pandemic is over with!!! read more

I love green olive but this is unacceptable. First I found a hair, Im not sure if it was mine or it came. I removed it and ate from the other side of the hummus. Then I find a rubber band underneath the potatoes. This was horrible. Please inspect your food before consuming read more

Came here for something different. I ordered the falafel plate. Everything was cooked fresh. My friend had never been here and ordered the spicy shrimp. He enjoyed his food as well amd even ate the hummus and homemade pitas which he said he wouldn't try. Lol read more

Huge portions with plenty of menu options! I normally stick with the gyro combo that comes with salad, hummus, pita bread, meat and rice. The rice is surprisingly my favorite part because it's so flavorful. Entrees come out super quick and staff is friendly. If you check in on Yelp you get a free 20oz drink that'll save you some cash. Parking can be a bit problematic, especially with the semis that use the middle street/turning lane for parking, haha. But it's really nice if you can catch the place on a day when there's a live band outside! Definitely recommend for a large crowd since there's plenty of sitting as well as other restaurants in the same complex if folks want to eat something else. read more

Ordered thru yelp! My order wasn't done on time but it was around lunch so it's understandable. Besides the food is so good it's worth waiting for lol....I ordered a chicken kabob plate with a beef kabob and stuffed grape leaves for myself and a friend to share. It was really good and the beef was really tender! This location is just as good as the Long Beach location as far as food quality. But I do think this location is better because they have more room inside and parking! read more

Came in during the morning to order some food before work & mid order to my surprise i see man casually grab his groin & touch tongs to flip chicken. If i remember correctly he was wearing a face wrap that covers his whole face. Cancelled my order right away the most disgusting thing i've ever seen. If i could give -0 stars i would. Never returning. Please make sure kitchen staff cares about sanitation. I was revolted. read more

The part of my food I ate was dry, but the reason I didn't finish my food is because there was hair in my food. When we called to tell them the person answering the phone stated that they were about to close and come back tomorrow. When I ask can we choose another day she said yes. We asked to the managers name and she said the manager quit. When we ask for the person in charge she gave a name and hung up. read more

If you're looking for the best Mediterranean food ever this is it. It's kind of a hidden gem because of its location but once you find it, you'll be hooked. Unfortunately there should be a warning that once you try the green olive you'll never find anything like it. There's other Mediterranean spots but no place has the green sauce like they do. Pair their green sauce with the garlic butter and you're in heaven and quite literally can just eat that with some pita bread. I usually get the chicken kabob plate or sometimes just get the sauce and cook at home. It's nice that you are able to buy just the sauce too. Service is always great, they're nice and quick too! You don't even need to sit for too long because your food will be done! As for ambiance it's not the most aesthetic place but I feel it is very authentic. Let the food speak for itself. This location is my favorite for the green sauce because it's usually creamy like the avocado dressing from el pollo loco but has a good kick to it. I have tried other green olive locations but the sauces are a bit different as they make it fresh at each place. read more

This is by far my favorite Mediterranean food and such a great lunch option near my work. I like getting the lunch combo with all the meat options (beef, shawarma I think) which comes with a salad, pita, hummus, and usually rice (I like to substitute for spicy potatoes). The green sauce is also deceivingly spicy. So fair warning to those who can't handle heat. I've tried this spot for to go and have eaten there. Both times were on point. There's a self-serve soda fountain here, and parking can get crowded especially during the weekday lunchtime. So I recommend carpooling if possible. I can't wait to return here. read more

The Green Olive Restaurant - Lunch combo with all the meat - Mediterranean Near Me - Compton, California

I've ordered twice from this place through Postmates and the first time I had a great experience. I ordered the Vegetarian plate with a side of Spinach Filio and some Baklava for dessert. Very delicious, great portions, and great value for the money compared to other Mediterranean places I've been to before. A couple of days ago, which was my second experience again through Postmates, wasn't so great. Bare with me, the cold food arrived at room temperature and my hot food arrived cold, that's such a turnoff but oh well better luck next time. Right? read more

The kebab balls do not taste like the real thing. I lived in Glendale for 3 years I had grown accustomed to them always tasting delicious and this is seriously the first I never thought could be so far off base. it was an unpleasant surprise to actually taste a kebab ball that did not taste good in any way. Maybe cheap ingredients I DK. These taste like hard old foul donuts or something. I'm not exaggerating. $1 each. I literally spit out multiple bites of my chicken wrap cuz the meat was just too chewy. It feels like holding a malnourished dead bird. Not a hearty delicious wrap lol. I was the only customer in there at 2 PM on a Saturday. The wrap that you get from other restaurants for $8+ is much more meaty, much more sauce-- this place is clearly very stingy with their meat. I wish the meat was savory and not chewy, as that would seem more justifiable. This stuff is so bland I'm gonna remove the Yelp bookmark right now. It's my fault for looking up "chicken salad". ON TOP of that, even their little purple radishes are flavorless or a few degrees from good. Idk how u do that but they did it. read more

Came here with my friend and for the most part everything was super good. For me, the hummus was a big turn off I really didn't like it at all. I usually judge a Mediterranean place by its hummus but everything else on the place was so darn good, I didn't even mind. For me, it had this weird bitter after taste. I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes though. Make sure you check-in for a free drink. read more

Stopped by here before the LA Galaxy game. Food was pretty darn good. Recommend the chicken skewers. Service was great

Such an awful experience!! This place has a B grade on the health code! I don't really see that too often and now I know why. Within 2 minutes of ordering a worker came from the back and started to sweep up the floor, all around me, making the air visibly dusty. But it was only near me. The floor was dirty everywhere but she only focused on cleaning near me. It was absolutely ridiculous. Just when I thought about asking them to stop, a second worker came out of the back to empty the massive trash cans near the front. Making a ton of commotion, and fanning out the trash, he whipped the trash bag in the air to try and open the trash bag. Finally he finishes and then seems to take the path back by all the people eating, so we could all smell the waste that had accumulated throughout the day. Then a third worker comes out and starts to spray a cleaning chemical on the two empty tables next to mine. As she wiped the table a piece of food flew at me and I just gave a look like "are you serious". She wiped softer and then continued to spray and clean only 2 tables, the two next to me... There were 20 other tables that she didn't touch, and were dirty. At this point I feel they are doing this on purpose. Are the employees trying to drive customers away? The last straw was when they were putting my food on the plate, I hear one of the cooks sneeze, so I immediately look up to see where it came from and to see if they covered their mouth, they did not, and now I write this review to warn everyone of their business practices and awful attention to detail. Simply just awful management and a complete misunderstanding of how you run a restaurant. I urge the health board to visit again as a "B" was much to high of a grade. Avoid this place! read more

Food is fresh and very good. I come here all the time and get great portion sizes. Today, Sunday, 9/15/19, I get what looks like the scraps or left overs from another meal. . I am so irritated!! read more

The food is good, the service good and nice clean place and close to my house. A but price but worth cause the full large plate

Food is so good and unforgettable. Service is good and no complaints to the wait for pick up.

This fast casual restaurant is a hidden gem. Similar to a gem it is tucked away in a small shopping center and very pricey. The customer service was good and the building was clean. I ordered a combo plate that included one shrimp, ground beef and beef kabob with rice, hummus, and a salad. This totaled $19.00!! The food was not bursting with flavor but it cured my Mediterranean craving. The portions were pretty standard for Mediterranean food but 20 dollars worth, no. Other casual restaurants don't charge me as much and there food is of higher quality and bigger portions. I'd go again if I had an overwhelming craving for Mediterranean and I didn't want to drive far but it's not my go to spot. read more
