I regularly visit this place for lunch and absolutely love the food. It has an authentic taste, and everything I've tried has been delicious. Out of all the Mediterranean cuisine I've tried in Seattle, this one is my favorite. Recommend! read more

Good Mediterranean food to try! I had their gyro sandwich and Greek fries. The Greek fries were pretty good! Fries were cooked well and the sauce that came with it was very flavorful! The gyro sandwich was only okay. The thing that got me was the seasoning of the meat. It wasn't the typical taste of gyro meat that I love. Because of this, I wouldn't come back. The service was good. The employee took my order and the meal came out in a timely manner even though it was during a dinner rush. The ambiance was somewhat nice. It had themed setup and a decent number of seating, however, it felt a bit too tight with the arrangement. read more

This place is amazing and their food is very tasty. Friendly stuff and their prices are worthy.

Always a great experience at Golden Olive, this is my go to stop to grab a quick lunch or grab food with someone visiting. Best shawarma I have had in Seattle and you really can't go wrong with what you order. I always get great service from the guys working here and even when it's busy the service is quick! They also have lots of seating inside. read more

With all the other places surrounding this place you wouldn't expect much at first glance. The inside is small and assuming but then you order and get the food. I've been here twice and have been so satisfied both times. This second time I went in, they were super busy with orders but was still addressed and got my food ordered pretty quickly. I was very impressed with that, and I know what it's like to be in that position. They have a decent amount of food options and I just know they're all good. Definitely a staple for me when I'm in Queen Anne! read more

I recently doordashed from this restaurant and the food did not disappoint. Even with the delivery, the chicken remained crispy and the rice not soggy. I 100% reccomend the dolma which are served with a side of tangy garlic ranch. read more

My office is in Seattle and whenever I come in for a week I always eat at least once here. Big portions for lunch quick and delicious. There are three different Mediterranean places there and I have never been to any other one except Golden olive, it never misses. read more

Fast & friendly. I live the area and this is the Best Gyro spot in Queen Anne for sure.

Good, hot lentil soup. Interesting take on a chicken shawarma with it in a grilled tortilla. I liked it! Very casual neighborhood shawarma/gyro place. Not fancy, does a lot of after work orders to pick up. Order at the counter, bus your own tray. read more

Fast service. Great food. Definitely would recommend. This may be the go to spot during events at Cljmate Pledge Arena.

Customer Service Staff were very friendly. Rate 5 Ambiance Small dated place. Rate 3 Chicken gyro platter Supposed to be marinated chicken which would imply moist tender chicken, it was dry as was the rice. This tasted like left over food. Rate 2 Greek Salad Fresh produce, tasty dressing. Rate 5 Lentil Soup Very good. Baklava Fresh baklava is flaky and crisp, this was not a not. Rate 2 When I arrived it was Friday around 5, only one customer was there, I should have not eaten there. Many restaurants in the area and they had crowds. read more

Genuinely, the best food I've eaten in months. I've eaten out quite a bit. Was in a cute area of town. The workers were very kind and went out of there way to make us feel welcome. Great experience, 100% recommend!! I came with 3 other people and not one plate had a crumb on it when we left. read more

They have the best chicken n rice I've had in a long time. I recommend going there. Between 11-3 for the fresh cook food I love this place

3.5 stars - Mediterranean street food. Nothing knocked me out of the park but, solid. Door-dashed a few items. Chicken Shawarma Plate ($14.49) and Vegetarian Plate ($15.49). They came quickly, fresh and newly packed! read more

It was both NCAA and a kraken game, so many restaurants were extremely crowded, but luckily the Golden Olive had plenty of seats on a Monday evening for dinner! We placed our orders with a cashier, and in under 10 minutes our food was out! My Chicken Shawarma Sandwich was great, chicken was well marinated and cooked, and the garlic sauce (I think?) was quite flavorful! It was plenty of food for me and I ended up not being able to finish the side salad. Plenty of space in the restaurant, and it was not too loud at all, definitely a great place for a quick bite to eat! read more

Quick service, quality meal. The plates are large enough to share and are at a very fair price! Stopped by as a quick dinner option before a show at the climate arena and was not disappointed. The pita was fresh and a highlight of my meal. read more

*Pick up* Chicken Kabob Plate with Salad - The salad was good. However, the quantity was less. The chicken was very dry, chewy and had no flavor Humus was meh. Will highly recommend the place next block "Mint & Olives" read more

I get takeout / delivery here fairly regularly (every few months for the past two years). Our favorite things are: classic gyros; chicken gyro platter; falafel platter; chicken shawarma sandwich; shawarma plate; dolmas. The rice is excellent, too. Don't snooze on the sauces! The big portions of hummus, pita, tzatziki and white garlic sauce are all amazing. I always order enough to have leftovers because they're so good. The portions for the price are pretty good (I always have leftovers) and the food always comes out quickly, correctly, and fresh. read more

Delicious food! Beef shawarma was so good. We loved the pickled slaw and spices. Creamy flavorful hummus. My son asked what spice they used on the rice and the owner said it was too many to list! Whatever is in it was amazing and so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Chicken kebob plate was fresh & made to order - super clean & healthy lunch. I will be back!

This has got to be the best Greek spot in Seattle! They have me hooked on their Greek fries and I make sure to take anyone who visits me here because it's a "have to try" type of place. The owners/staff are always working so hard and are very nice. If you're wondering wether you should come here or not, don't second guess but be prepared to come back because you're going to love it. read more

Outstanding, authentic Palestinian/Lebanese food! Our first visit left us yearning for more! Within walking distance of Seattle Center and the Rep, this will be our go-to restaurant when we are in the area! read more

Food was great and fresh! The customer service was awesome as well! I'll definitely will be back soon.

**vegetarian review** Golden olive is open until late which is awesome when most places in Seattle close by 9. I ordered the Greek fries, falafel wrap and babaganush to go. I absolutely loved the Greek fries and the babaganush. Both were really well done. The falafel wrap - it's average. On the whole the food was well priced and delicious. I would definitely consider going back. read more

I had the Kefta sandwhich and my husband got the beef shawarma sandwhich both were delicious and the sauce was amazing! Our only complaint is that the meat was a little dry and some of the lettuce in the sandwiches was wilted and brown. Otherwise it was outstanding. Customer service was great and the restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. read more

Food was solid, though nothing really knocked it out of the park for me. I ordered the Chicken Gyro plate, side of falafel, and the Greek fries, which came out to $28.04 pre-tip. Portions were good for the price and the 3 items fed me for 2 full meals. Chicken was flavorful but a little bit on the dry side, and I wish the salad was a bit bigger to provide more veggies. Falafel was crisp and not overly dense which I appreciated, though I've definitely had better. The tahini was extremely watery which was unpleasant so I ate mine with the tzatziki instead. Although the fries weren't really crispy, the Greek fries were great and who can go wrong with fries, garlic sauce, and cheese! I ordered takeout but my order was ready within the 20 min time they gave and the workers were friendly. There was no one eating inside and it was a bit dimly lit. read more

Things were doing so well at first, kind of. Let's just say the food tastes great and the prices are on par with other quick Indian joints. It's fairly clean and inviting inside. First, when I opened the box I noticed well prepared food, but in my lamb was small buts of something else. This didn't bother me, but I'm not used to seeing this happen. I guess the thing that bothers me is part way through eating I noticed a few very small bits of hard stuff. Not too large or hard to be too concerned. Well after about 2 more bites after noticing the hard stuff I got a slightly larger piece so I spit it out. Well, the hard stuff turned out to be green plastic in my rice. Awe man I had to stop eating my meal. I couldn't stop thinking about how many other bites had the plastic and I was just munching away like nothing was wrong. read more

This is my go-to spot for all things kabob, sharma and gyro's. I've been coming here regularly for the past 2 years (only been in Seattle that long). I've liked just about everything here. Gyro - super packed full of yumminess and great flavor all around. Kabob entree - my favorite is the chicken though the other ones are good too. I find that the chicken is really moist and flavorful and love the whole package. Lentil Soup - yummy! Fries - great side. The prices and portions are great as well. All around excellent spot for dining in or for taking out. Fast and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Didn't want to leave our hotel room for dinner so I looked for a delivery restaurant that was relatively close. The Golden Olive looked like the best choice and I hadn't had Greek food in a while. This was my first time ordering delivery through grubhub and I was pleased with the service except for the $30 in extra fees. The whole order was correct even with the changes we made in the comment boxes. The food on the other hand wasn't as great. Sadly, I feel obligated to compare this restaurant to other Greek places and it just doesn't compare. The flavors weren't doing it for me. Everything needed more spice, but I did like that the food was still warm when we got it. Also, the size of the meal was pretty big, I just wish we got more pita bread. Overall, a decent spot for Greek food. read more

I love their chicken shawarma. Affordable, yummy and very filling. It's my go to place for lunch

Greek fries 5/5 so garlicy and good Babaganoush 5/5 Sooo good! Gyro 5/5 - needs more sauce but very flavorful meat, perfect pita. Great amount of meat. Plate 4/5 - salad was pointless iceberg lettuce & lots of/mostly rice. Falafel 3/5 kind of small. Not a lot of seasoning, mostly parsley. My homemade are always better but so much work :( Would definitely return. Most things were good! read more

Remember going into a place to eat wondering what to order unsure of what is really good...you look at reviews and that doesn't help. So you end up ordering something that can't really be messed up. I ordered a vegetable combo and received a plate that had so little distinct flavor. Salad of cucumber and tomato was mostly fresh, the 3 pieces of falafel were small and had a bit of flavor (dry mix probs) and both the baba ganouj and hummus were bland. Sheesh. Seattle needs better affordable Lebanese, Middle Eastern food. read more

Great little spot in Queen Anne. The service is great and the staff are super friendly. I haven't tried too many things from this place. My go to order is the chicken gyro salad which I highly recommend. I get the dressing on the side so you can control how much you want. It's a Greek ranch type of dressing and it's delicious. The salad comes with lettuce tomato onion kalmata olives and cucumbers. It's topped with deliciously seasoned chicken. read more

The wife and I wanted to try something different and it's probably been over 15 years since I last ate Mediterranean food. We ended up going with Uber Eats. I got the beef shawarma plate, the wife got the gyro plate, and we shared an order of Greek fries. My shawarma plate was awesome. I loved everything about it. My wife thought her plate was good but not great. I tried her meat and thought my plate was a lot better :) She also noted that her salad dressing was kind of bland. Lastly, the fries were delicious. Everyone should try those. The funny thing is that I wanted to give this place 4.5 stars... which is exactly their current average rating. But since that's not an option, I went with the higher rating. Would definitely go back again. read more

For the price and the amount of food you get this place is solid. I got the lamb gyro and the meat was stacked!!!! Bomb!! Only suggestions I would have would be to integrate the sauce with the lettuce and tomatoes and cucumber. There was a lot of lettuce and not that much flavor on it. The meat was really flavorful though! read more
