2023-12-12 03:57:53Having recently dined at the Green Olive restaurant, Im eager to share my experience. This cozy spot specializes in a delightful array of meat choices, including kababs, shish kabobs, and chicken—favorites that my friend raved about after multiple visits. While the carnivorous options are abundant, I was pleasantly surprised to find thoughtful considerations for vegan and vegetarian diners on the menu.For those on plant-based diets, there are three dedicated vegan and vegetarian dishes available, alongside an impressive selection of salads that match the variety offered in the meat section. What stood out was the authenticity of the vegan offerings—they werent mere substitutes but genuine culinary creations, a refreshing change from the norm.Despite the restaurants small size, it boasts an ambiance adorned with captivating artwork that adds a touch of elegance and charm to the dining experience. The visual appeal adds to the overall warmth of the place, making it a delightful setting for a meal.For anyone looking to treat their plant-eating friends, this place is a gem, although not too many options. However, with its genuine vegan choices and an inviting ambiance, theyre sure to find flavorful dishes without leaving hungry. Green Olive manages to cater to diverse tastes while maintaining quality and authenticity—a definite recommendation for a satisfying dining outing

2023-05-02 03:27:49Good 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.

2024-06-30 23:02:56I waited 45 minutes for a salad and two plates. NINE tables of patrons, who order after me, had their food served to them sooner than that. SEVEN walk-in and order patrons waited and got their orders before that. Only when I got tired of waiting and approached the manager did I receive my order, five minutes later. I was unsatisfied with my food as the beef was not cooked as I had ordered and was hard and lukewarm. I regret coming here because it was expensive and unsatisfying.

2024-05-24 01:45:23You want good(yummy) food? You want healthy food? Have you heard of you get what you paid for? Ill answer for yall, YES!This is the place for good(yummy), healthy food at a fair price. My wife and I have been coming here for years... roughly 10 years. Have never been let down. AND when Louks Greek Baby Donuts opened next door it was the perfect recipe. Dessert and coffee after Green Olive? Ill answer for yall again, YES!

2024-05-17 13:09:18Service was excellent! Very friendly staff this day! Atmosphere was too small and cramped eating inside. Noise level was beyond 20/10. Food was ok, my gyro sandwich was ok but I didnt like that my pita bread for my gyro sandwich was fried, or thats what it seemed to be. Because it wasnt just a regular pita. The garlic/lemon chips were not that flavorful and were cold. I prefer French fries but they said they dont serve French fries.

2022-08-03 22:48:48Fresh & Tasty. Gyros were perfectly grilled. Potatoes were delicious. I find a lot of Mediterranean places dont put thought into the sides, but everything was good here. Props to the team. Will definitely become a regular.
