    Kabob Plate
    Louis P.

    So this was my first time trying out their Downey location. Nice place, clean with plenty of parking. Placed my to go during work lunch, waited a bit longer than the ETA but not an issue for fresh food. Ordered a couple item this time, Kabob Plate and Shawarma Fries. The Good: Shawarma Fries always hit the spot. This place has alot of fusion med/Mex style good. The Mid: Kabob plate. Meat was flavorful, but super dry. Order was fresh so I know it wasnt sitting the there. Not sure but something missing with the seasoning or something. Veggies were not super fresh cant really say what was lacking. The go-tos' here are the burgers and specialty fries. So dissapointed in the kabobs but for sure will order my usual next time.

    Crispy Chicken Burger
    Katie C.

    when we first walked in, the staff were friendly by welcoming us, offering us a menu, and recommending their best burgers. we ordered the swiss mushroom and crispy chicken burgers, both combo so it came with friends and we can grab our soda of choice from the fridge. the place was spacious, clean, and had a lot of tables. once our food was ready, the staff brought it to our table! swiss mushroom burger - THIS WAS SO GOOD! their beef patty is super juicy and flavorful. i haven't had a burger like this before that makes you keep wanting to eat it. their beef patty is really really good. everything is so balanced, not overwhelmed by the mushroom or onions and it complimented each flavors perfectly. crispy chicken burger - the chicken was indeed really crispy and juicy on the inside. this burger tasted like a hearty meal, not too salty or bland, on the higher end than other chicken burgers i've tasted. their fries were crispy and seasoned well! i recommend getting their SPICY GARLIC SAUCE to dip. it was house made and delicious. Ali, the cashier and who brought our food was so kind and welcome, really excellent customer service. will definitely be back!!

    Veggie Burger MEAL  Absolutely love this veggie burger, hard to find a good and thick veggie patty burger near me

    Glad I found this place, it was so bomb! They nailed a nice thick veggie patty, and now I don't have to drive 30 mins away, they had my online order done right on time and the cashier was the sweetest. Messing this burger up as I type this!

    Lived up to the standard of the Bell location, but perhaps better in the sense that the service was faster. Over great food and service

    Review #612 None Elite Squad I do plan to go once in a while if im craving Mediterranean and if im in that shopping plaza. The Menu has more than a few items ..by the way, ill be focus on the Mediterranean part because I haven't tasted the Mexican part... the Mediterranean part has 14 items for example ..but the pictures are only 3..if you ask about the items that dont have a pic.. they'll just repeat the description on the menu.. if you know your Mediterranean items by name by heart you wont have a problem cause you'll know what you're ordering.. but for me I always end up just picking the Kabob Combo.. if you order online on Postmates, Uber Eats, Seamless for example its beyond Pricy ..its like $30..so go in person.. you'll save money... i think Door Dash is like $22 but go in person. Parking could be a Problem depending at what time you go cause of all the Restaurants that are in that plaza but I always find a spot. the Dining Area is ok, its clean...ive always ordered to go but I do sit in the dining area while I wait..but lets talk about the food.. The Kabob Combo.. Delicious! Humus Delicious! Rice Done Right! the salad is good..hmmm.. i think i always settle for the garden.. not sure i dont know which one is which.. the pita is generic but good, the Kabobs are Great! they always over cook them when ive gotten them but theyre still Delicious! they give you 3 different types.. that's what you want in other restaurants when they only give you 2 and make you get the 3rd a la cart... i Recommend this plate.. it'll fill you up... the Customer Service is good, theyre not rude, theyre nice. ill give it 4 out of 5.. they always have orders and customers when ive gone so you know theyre doing things right.. it does take a while cause its made to order so if you're in a hurry call ahead..im pretty sure they'll have it ready when you get there. They're Quote is #EATFAMOUS

    Shawarma Fries Chicken
    Danielle B.

    Good fast casual restaurant featuring Mediterranean and fusion foods. They had a good selection of Lebanese sodas. I tried the chicken Shawarma fries which were fantastic, and the lamb chops which came with hummus and rice, and were surprisingly tender. The cashier who took my order was helpful and friendly and made recommendations.

    Chicken Burrito, Chicken Burger
    Nai Q.

    The crispy chicken burger is soooo good. Love the shredded lettuce. Only complaint is all the muscles I had to keep spitting out. A total jaw work out I did not expect walking into this establishment. *Whomp whomp whomp!* Oh how I wish I could eat it my burger all the way through without having to stop and spit. First world problems much? I doubt this is a "one off" either because the chicken burrito had hardened chewy pieces of muscle in the burrito too! I suppose, If they haven't specifically instructed the workers to CUT THE MUSCLES OUT, during the skinning or cutting part of the process uhmm...this may be the time to do so! Or perhaps they just buy their meat cut from the vendor like this? On a positive note....The Buffalo and Spicy Garlic WINGS are DE-LICIOUS! I'd highly recommend these for my garlic lovers! They're sort of In between wet and dry wings. I love, love, LOVE the flavorful batter coating too! Thankfully It's they didn't just pour a grip of wing sauce on unseasoned meat. Phew! In honesty, I probably won't be back but it's all down to personal preference: 1) I'm down with certain "fusion food" but I prefer my Mexican food to be flavored authentically, the chicken for the burrito at Famous taste like it was seasoned for a shawarma. 2) I can't stand the muscles and tendons or whatever weird chewy, hard chicken body parts were in the meat. 3) Burgers are my usual jam at the original location of Famous and had it not been for the muscles in the burgers at this location. I would have likely given em a four star for the crispy chicken burger and bomb ass wings alone.

    My wife and I went to Downey to out the food at the World Famous Grill,we have been to the Original one in Bell the food was really good we enjoy it. They open World Famous Grill in Downey then we headed there to try the food. The restaurant is average size including refrigerator with all kind of drink including Mexican and American soda and also drinks from the Middle East. They also have a dessert display serving Middle Eastern dessert like Baklava. We were looking at the menu and see what to order my wife decided to the falafel wrap with fries then I order the Kabob plate it have chicken and beef including salad and humus and pita comes with garlic spead and other sauces. The chicken was delicious season well and cook perfect same with the beef season and also cook perfect with incredible favors. The humus was pretty I enjoy it and the salad was good and rice pilaf was amazing good. My wife enjoy her falafel wrap and fries.

    Kafta Wrap MEAL $23 (I added spicy garlic - extra $$)
    Mayra F.

    I had very high hopes for this place. The kofta was dry :(( but the flavor was there! That spicy garlic sauce was very good. The fries were cooked perfectly. I want to try other stuff - they have a huge menu! Hoping for a better experience next time :)

    Kabob Combo Tabouli Salad Tacos

    Food was very delicious, fresh, and had that homemade taste to it. The cashier Rima was super helpful with the menu and very friendly explaining the different dishes as well as the culture! I look forward for o my next visit; I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

These many people can only mean one thing, that the food is delicious! I loved their huge menu with food for anyone's tastes. As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate. The ambiance had average loud noise level since it is small on the inside, however they have plenty of outdoor seating which is where we sat.

There were so many awesome selections on the menu that one could almost be paralyzed by the choices.

Since this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I initially expected someone to seat me, but I was simply told to find any available table and start eating. That was perfectly fine with me. The food selection included several salads, meats, and other dishes, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Overall, I found the food fairly average. The main reason for my two-star rating, however, was what happened when I paid. My bill was around $36.50. I paid cash with one $20 bill and four $5 bills, for a total of $40, and told the cashier to keep the change. What made me uncomfortable was that almost immediately after I handed her the money--while she was still saying "Have a good day"--she pulled out a counterfeit-detection pen and started checking my bills right in front of me. I understand that businesses may have policies for checking cash, and I have no problem with a restaurant protecting itself against counterfeit money. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and somewhat insulting. She could easily have waited until I had stepped away before checking the bills instead of immediately testing them in front of me as soon as I handed them over. I was not rushing out of the restaurant or behaving suspiciously in any way. Of course, I have never knowingly used counterfeit money. The whole interaction simply left me feeling as though I was being treated with suspicion for no apparent reason. If checking cash is standard procedure, I can understand that. But customer service also matters, and there are more discreet ways to handle it without making a paying customer feel accused or embarrassed. Between the average food and this unpleasant experience at checkout, I can only give this restaurant two stars.
