Fantastic service with very a friendly and attentive staff.
Went for my son's birthday as he was craving shawarma. He got the lamb and his girlfriend got the beef shawarma. Both of them said it was very tasty.

I had the chicken curry stew and have leftovers. It came with a Greek green salad and basmati rice. So delicious and such deep flavors.

We'd come back again for sure and since my son and his girlfriend live in the area, they are adding it to their spots too.

Highly recommend it.

My wife & I had dinner for the first time tonight at - Pom & Olive - and it was fantastic!

We shared the stuffed olives & dolmades appetizers & they both were so flavorful & delicious!

For the main course - we shared the Koobideh Kabab (Ground Sirloin) & added a chicken kabab to it. Both were tender & flavored very well. Both kababs were delicious.

This is must try if you have never dined here. Huge portions, affordable prices, & great service & food.

This place is consistently good healthy fresh food. Its crazy that people charging their Teslas dont head inside for a bite. Everything is so flavorful without being too salty. Even their olive platters are super good.

Great food, great service! Saffron icecream, Olive platter, wonderful spread of vegetarian options!
I can’t say enough about the service - how many restaurants you go and they serve extra icecream or sides with so much care and attention! ❤️

I'm giving this place four stars because I like it. It's been there for a long time, the food is good the people are nice. But honestly I give it four stars because I don't want it to go out of business otherwise I might give it 3 stars. I've noticed that it's been a bit lacking in service recently. I came in the front door the other night and stood and waited while the woman owner stood and talked to someone for several minutes and didn't even bother to ask me if I needed a seat. I was directly in her line of view. Finally I just walked right up to the dining room on my own and eventually she asked if I needed something. Odd question as I was obviously there to dine.
I would love to feel like the seating had more of a booth type with a little more privacy to buffer noise. It reminded me of Thanksgiving at the kids table.

Food barely edible, tiny portion of stale what looked like store bought pita bread tasted like cardboard and just as stiff. The water served was from the tap and tasted like 10% bleach and 5% from water runoff from a water treatment sewage plant..the ground meat was warm, tasteless, rice was the same. The salad was limp and warm without dressing. The place was empty and creepy. Next door motel undergoing conversion to homeless housing apparently. Nothing good to say except the owners sister who served us was nice to us. The owner was serving the only other table. Should have known to avoid a franchise Mediterranean restaurant. Place appeared to at least be clean and the silverware and plates appeared to also be clean. Parking.was adequate and free. Won't be back.

My wife and I had lamb chops medium rare, and that tasted great, but the dressing on the salad was exceptional!

Love this place. I’m from San Diego and I always make it a point to stop by Pom & Olive if I’m in the area. I’ve tried their chicken 3 ways: shawarma, shish kabob, and Koobideh (ground chicken). It’s always been very fresh and delicious.

I usually get the Mediterranean salad and add a chicken to it. I also really enjoy their dips especially the tzatziki sauce.

We tried the cheese borak this trip and they came out piping hot and super yum. My friend got the honey cantaloupe lemonade and. She always raves about it.

The service is very friendly as well.

Amazing med food. Try the Beef Koobideh, as a dish, side skewer or wrap. If you dressed everyone in fancy clothes and ignored the location this place would be Michelin star upscale place.
