The Green Olive Torrance

Ok Downey! It seems you’re leveling up in the food game with another delicious gem added to the list of hot spots. Who would’ve thought you could score big on Mediterranean food in the area? Well I was lucky enough to find out along with my tastebuds. We ordered a couple of the popular items which were the Chicken Kabob Plate and Shrimp Plate along with other items but I’ll get to them later. The chicken was nice and tender with a tasty mix of herbs and spices all over the juicy breast. So good! Next was the Shrimp Plate that had the shrimp char to perfection with the garlic lemon sauce that was so lip smacking. We also tried the Tabouli and Baklava which was a perfect ending and the Tabouli so refreshing. Service was great and they were so attentive. They have indoor seating but the patio

Came here specifically for the gyro, and was not let down. I’m on a quest to find a spot with the best gyro, and although this place won’t take my top spot, it was definitely tasty and I would definitely eat it again. Service was expedient and attentive, and my food came out quite quick. Wasn’t busy when I went in, as it was a bit of a late lunch. As you can see in my picture, and a picture another has posted, “The Green Olive” isn’t as blatantly obvious as the “Food Culture LA” sign on the front of the building. That threw me off at first, just now if you see that though, you’re at the right place.

The food here is great! I dined on a Saturday afternoon and the place was peaceful and clean. All the meats were cooked well and the gyro shawarma was sooooooooo goooood. I recommend it to anyone. But you can't go wrong with any other choice. I will be returning to this place. It's relatively new so I hope more people can visit them soon.

I had chicken kabob which was very delicious. Also substituted the rice for tabbouleh. Highly recommend in the area if you wanted to try middle eastern food

You get a lot of bang for your buck here. I've been coming here for years and the quality of food you get here never disappoints. For $21 this is as good as it gets baby ;)
