“ Arrived at 4:30, immediately sat down. Waiter was prompt asking us for drinks, etc. I ordered an old fashion, a little pricey $20.00, but it was made very well. My wife had warm water and lemon. I had shrimp kabob and wife had salmon kabobs .Both entrees were excellent. Overall very good service from hostess to waiter. 2nd time here, never disappointed. Jeff Downey ”
“ This is without question nor doubt the tastiest, fresh and delicious medetarrainian food!! I drive from West Covina to the Downey location at least 3x's a month! The service without question as well as ambiance-if course it's a busy place but seems like everyone is supernice and friendly of course!!!! You GOTTA OPEN A PLACE CLOSER TO MY AREA‼ ”
“ We loved our server named Battal, he was so attentive. We usually come to get the paninis they are fire. The restaurant vibes are chill, we love to go hang out and get a drink. ”
“ 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. ”
“ Best food if you have a concussion. Dealing with this has been a horrible experience but eating here. I feel like I get all essential vitamins from the chicken and krafta. Service was quick and always fresh to order. Food is never just sitting ! I enjoy the tzatziki suace but it cost 1.50 for it. That's crazy but if you order the gyro it comes with free side of it. Chill vibes. Quiet for a Wednesday Best place to eat at between 9pm and 10pm ”
“ This is probably our favorite mediterranean restaurant. We drive about 30 minutes to get dinner just because the quality of their food is amazing. My boyfriend gets the whole chicken ( take 20-30 mins) so I would advise to call ahead. I get the gyro plate or wrap depends on my mood but it never lets me down. Restaurant is a quick service so you order first and then find a seat but we usually de take out. Only complaint we have is that the customer service sucks, to the point where we contemplated on going back. The cashiers act like they don't want to be there ( so much attitude ) which is a bummer because the food is a 10/10. ”
“ Solid mediterranean casual spot to check out in the Downey area. The portions are well sized and I go here quite regularly. I've had their chicken shawarma, falafel, and recently their salmon kabob plate, which are all satisfying, delicious meals. I enjoy lathering their garlic sauce on the salad and eating the meat and rice alongside it. The salmon was not dry at all which surprised me. My mom is vegetarian and loves their falafel. One thing to keep in mind is that sometimes the staff can be quite busy and the food does take some time to prepare, so I personally like to call ahead and then pick up to eat at home. ”
