★★★★★ 5.0 Sparkle Star · Apr 2025

Green Olive in Downey is a superb destination for Mediterranean cuisine. The flavors are great, and the prices are very reasonable, making it an excellent value. It's a go-to spot for authentic Mediterranean cuisine that's as healthy as it is flavorful. Every dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients. This cozy place specializes in a delightful array of meat options, including kababs, shish kabobs, and chicken. The filet Mignon and Chicken combination plate is absolutely delightful. Everything is made fresh, and the portions are generous. The Hummus, Pita bread, and salad are also delicious. The outdoor dining area is particularly pleasant on a warm day. Green Olive caters to diverse tastes while maintaining quality and authenticity . I highly recommend it if you're craving high-quali

★★★★★ 5.0 Natalie Nadine · Jun 2025

Absolutely incredible!!! The staff was friendly, patient, and had wonderful recommendations! Everything that we ate we would for sure order again. Don't sleep on the Chicken Soup, it's so hearty and delicious. You can't go wrong with any of their wraps or falafels either, and that Baclava was soooooo tasty!

The food is so good! I can do phone order and pick up in less than 25 minutes. Always a pleasure to eat. Feelings like I'm eating something healthy.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Tony Yu · May 2023

Good Mediterranean food at very reasonable prices. I got myself a chicken wrap and while the flavor was there, the chicken itself was a little too dry. I don’t remember which vegetarian dish my friend got but I liked it more than my chicken wrap. There’s seating inside but they have a better-looking dining area outside. There’s lots of parking so you don’t have to worry about that.
