    The beef & chicken combo.
    Helen H.

    The food here was great. Very flavorful and a lot of bang for your buck. What wasn't great was the seating capacity indoors and the front of house service person was less engaged than I would like to have seen her. She was nice enough, however, she was quick with her responses and without thinking of the impact to new patron perception and how that would affect our overall view of our experience. Again, the food was wonderful and we will definitely be back for the food. We live in San Diego. So we were just driving through Oxnard to get to this restaurant based upon the Yelp reviews that we read.

    19. The Works
    Ryan M.

    The Green Olive serves up the best Mediterranean food, hands down -- and this location is especially excellent. The menu is stacked with hits, but The Works plate is a must if you're hungry. It comes loaded with a variety of meats, all juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken shawarma is another standout -- huge portions and great value -- while the filet and chicken kebabs are both consistently delicious. Service is quick and friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. It's one of those spots I keep coming back to again and again because it's just that good.

    Soooo good! We came on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed their outside patio. The restaurant is very clean and the staff were friendly. The grape leaves are a must! Their hummus, gyro, salad, sauces, and kofta plate were outstanding. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items!

    The first restaurant that popped up on Yelp and I'm so glad I came here! Omg forget going to a fancy restaurant for legit Mediterranean food. Green Olive is the place to come to when you're wanting a freshly prepared meal. Give yourself 10-15 minutes before the food is served. This is not a fast food establishment, so come with patience. I ordered the mixed grill combo, which includes marinated beef, chicken, and a Kafka kabob. I wanted to try everything here, but this combo was perfect. It also comes with a small salad, homemade hummus, and saffron rice. The hummus!! Omg it is the creamiest and most delicious hummus you'll put in your mouth. I would buy a tub of this if I could! I also enjoyed the salad dressing. It was tangy and lemony. The saffron rice was fluffy, fragrant and delicious as well. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious and they also have a nice outdoor patio too. Overall, this place is the real deal for Mediterranean food! I most definitely will come back soon. Looking forward to trying the Baba Ghanouj.

    The food was fresh and savory, the sauces, the meats, and hummus are delicious the service was great! And the ambiance is pretty chill and friendly. Will be back very soon.

    Filet mignon and chicken kebabs

    Had to re-order one of the plates as the meat was burnt, but the redo came out excellent second time I've eaten here food's OK

    Gyro Kabob Royal
    Carrie W.

    The green olive is one of my favorite places to get mediterranean food. They have fast service, friendly employees, and authentic food. The location of the restaurant is easy to fine, but there are only a couple of parking spots in front of the restaurant but it seems like there are always some when I visit. There might be a parking structure somewhere but I am unaware of it. I mainly get the chicken kabob plate while my SO usually gets the gyro kabob royal. The chicken was super tender and full of flavor. I swear the garlic sauce that they give you on the side is to die for. Dip the meat in this sauce and you won't regret it! The green sauce was really good too. Everything else tasted so fresh from the veggies to the hummus. The rice was also piping hot and seasoned just right. The dish was just a bit too salty but overall, a solid experience!

    My first time at Green Olive, because of the good review, and guessed what my expectations were met ! The ambiance is very quaint, friendliest team The food is delicious ! It's was a great experience! I'm coming back , you should try it too!

    Chicken Skewer plate,
    Miguel D.

    Just had this for dinner on a Sunday evening, Have not been to this location since it was the old Chinese place. Great job with the remodel, the place feels clean, fresh, comfortable. The place was slow when we were there. a delicious location like this should be packed. The food, was on point, Chicken and Steak skewers were tender, juicy, full of flavor! The rice salad and hummus was the perfect serving and hit the spot. The garlic paste and green mystery sauce was the cherry on top, Explosion of Flavors!! Our kids that usually don't care for greek, mediterranean destroyer their dishes. This place is a Hit! We will be back soon.

I tried the chicken kebab which came with rice pilaf and a fattoush salad. It was a good portion of chicken and not to mention very juicy. My table also ordered the trio of dips as an appetizer - hummus, pistachio spread, and baba ghannouj. My only recommendation is to make the bread included with the trio spreads. To add an extra $4 for 4 small slices of pita was a bit unreasonable if you ask me. Besides that, it was a nice dining experience I'd suggest for date night, a girls night out dinner, or even to celebrate a special occasion (bachelorette party, birthday, anniversary).
