I stopped in here on a weekday at lunchtime, and the place was very crowded. That's actually a good sign as that means it must be good. I ordered the gyro platter which goes for $16.99. It was a plentiful meal and I thought the food was tasty. Because of the crowd, the place was very noisy and hectic inside. They also have some outdoor tables, which I thought works out better since it's more peaceful and not so noisy. I will definitely go back, but next time I think it would be much more enjoyable at a quieter time. read more

Have gotten the chicken kebab plate several times and it doesn't disappoint. Very convenient parking as well.

The wait is insanely long. Waiting 30 minutes then was told there were 5 orders ahead of us which ended up being about a little over an hour. Got three plates and paid $86 dollars and while the food was good I can't say this is worth the money or the wait by any means. Do not go here if you are actually hungry. read more

Tasty Mediterranean food in Downey. The menu includes wraps, plates, platters, and family packs. Protein options include chicken, kafta, shrimp, gyro, salmon, filet mignon, lamb, and falafel. My go to is a chicken wrap that comes with a side of garlic potatoes. It's a filling meal at an affordable price. As much as I love the food here, I am deterred when I think of the customer service that is unfriendly and borders on rude. With all the times we've been here, we have not had good service once. Pro tip: Order ahead online for minimal interaction with staff. Be sure to double check your order if you made any customizations. read more

I recently ordered from The Green Olive and had a great overall experience. I went with their Chicken Feast Family Pack. which included 4 whole chickens, hummus, house salad, rice pilaf, garlic sauce & pita bread. The portions were generous and worked well for feeding a group. The chicken stood out--it was tender and not dry, which can sometimes be an issue with larger catering-style orders. The pita bread was fresh, and the hummus was flavorful and well-prepared. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. The total came out to around $80-$90, which I felt was a solid value considering it was enough to feed about 4-6 people comfortably. Overall, I was happy with the quality, portion sizes, and value. I'd definitely consider ordering from here again for both small gatherings and family meals. read more

Our foodie adventure in Downey led us to The Green Olive for the first time, and wow!we've been missing out! Everything from the food to the service was top-notch, making this spot a new favorite. There are plenty of parking and there outdoor dinning. The vibe is friendly and welcoming. What we ordered: Kafta Kabob & Chicken Kabob Platter - Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. Green Olive Platter - My husband went all in because why choose when you can have everything? We started with kibbi, grape leaves, and spicy potatoes--each bite packed with authentic Mediterranean flavors! Beer & wine? Yes! We were pleasantly surprised to see them on the menu. I sipped on a Modelo, while my husband enjoyed an IPA--the perfect pairing for our meal. Dessert was a must! We finished with rice pudding and baklava--and let me tell you, that baklava stole the show! Beyond the amazing food, Gio and the team provided outstanding service. They made us feel right at home, and we truly appreciated the warm hospitality. If you're a fan of Mediterranean flavors, The Green Olive is a must-visit. read more

We placed an order inside the restaurant at 6:15PM and received our food 45 minutes later. The food was decent but the wait was far too long. There were several empty tables and there were only 2-3 people ahead of us when we placed our order. read more

Green Olive - Kabob Filet Mignon Beef Kabob Platter (Very Tender) - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

This place is always busy and I am here for it. Sometimes they are behind on orders but by the photos of the kitchen, you can tell it's not from a lack of trying. The interior is pretty small but they have an outdoor seating area that is pretty nice. The food is a tad expensive but it's always good. One of the few places that I will repeatedly order the lamb chops. read more

Today, we ordered food from Green Olive, and it was excellent as usual. I had the salmon kabob plate, and my husband had the kafata. Both were delicious. The food and service here are high-quality. One of my favorite spots, I highly recommend Green Olive. Thank you to the manager and his staff. read more

Incredible. Wow. Came after an adult basketball league game and was THOROUGHLY impressed. It was busy too and I understand why. All the meats were incredible. Sauces were awesome (especially the green)!! Pita was a bit dry but everything else was just so dang good that it didn't matter to me. Outside seating was good with lights. Pricing is affordable. Very clean and good atmosphere. 5 stars easy. Try the Lamb and also Dolmas. read more

This is a casual fast food Mediterranean restaurant. The food is freshly prepared over a fire or on a grill. You get a number and they bring your order. I had a chicken wrap. There was a lot of sauce, and it was very tasty (and drippy) . Serve yourself drinks dispenser. read more

We ate here for the first time after hearing a few friends rave about it. We ordered the shrimp, kebab plate, lamb chops, Shawarma. Gyro wrap. We also ordered grape leaves at appetizers and a few desserts. Our standout dishes were for sure the lamb chops, Gyro and Shawarma. Our favorite dessert was the pistachio crème brûlée. We even went up in order a second one. Would I return? Hell yes. read more

Dissatisfied. What happened? Did they lose their cooks? This review is reflective of today Sunday, March 29, 2026. I ordered a chicken skewer platter and my husband ordered the chicken wrap. The chicken was dry and the rice had no flavor whatsoever. There was no dressing for the salad. The hummus had no flavor. The Green sauce was not spicy and very watery. We've eaten here before, and I have always enjoyed their food, but today was completely different. This restaurant does not have discounts or specials so the price you pay needs to be worth it. Please return to better standards in flavor and quality taste. read more

Love this place for Mediterranean food, the flavors and portion are great. The service is good, one thing I love is I can calll it in and pick up. I live about 15-20 min away so I usually call it in for pick up just because I don't mind the drive for good food It's in a good location, parking lot sometimes is full but not always. read more

Ate here twice before reviewing this second time i ordered through grubhub showed up at 6:45p, pickup was between 6:45p - 6:55p cashier "D" told me they were bagging it. After waiting 15 minutes I went to ask again and they said the order had never been pushed through their system and they were expediting it so why tell me they were bagging it??? Finally got food at 7:17p with a dessert as an apology that I did not ask for so the thought is appreciated If they can't handle online orders as well as in person orders then they should opt out of online orders. Ultimately food is good but only if youre willing to wait not only through grubhub but in person too read more

My coworkers asked me to pick up their food from here and I was also hungry. I was told it was a good restaurant so when I was waiting for the pick up I decided to order as well. I forgot what I order but was it filling and great. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I'm not going to lie the food is good but why is it taking 40+ minutes to make the food especially when there are no customers??? I recommend if you're going to order take out just order an hour in advance over the phone because the wait time is ridiculous. read more

It's good to know that this place is in Downey. I love the fact that they have beer and wine to go with their freshly made foods.

I love The Olive. The food is always great and I'll be going back. Make sure you check you to go order. When you spend what you spend and don't get the bread that should come with it it's not fun. I was told to come pick up some and that's all they could do. It's not in and out and missed your fries. It's $165 of good food without the care to make sure we had what we needed for a fantastic meal. read more

I've eaten at another great Green Olive that I think is part of the same chain, and it was bigger, while this one is fairly small with an outside patio. It was a great find anyway. I had four (four!) meaty lamb chops, rice, and a green salad, for $18.99 - an unheard of price in the area. Other menu options like gyros are significantly lower priced. It's counter order, and the place could use some updating - I took away one star for that and the tight quarters. But overall, I would definitely go back again when I'm in the area. read more

Green Olive was such a great option for lunch. Even though I came on a weekday, it was very busy - but for a good reason. We had their shrimp and chicken shawarma platter and both were delicious options. Each comes with rice, salad, and hummus .The portion was very generous, but the service was also quick and friendly. They also have a cute outdoor patio in case it is busy inside. I would definitely come back again! read more
