Took a little longer than I thought to get food but well worth it. Got two wraps; both big and tasty, prices not to bad either. Recommended!Vegetarian options: Eggplant, falafel, hummus, salads
YUMMY. Amazing quality, fast service, some of the best falafel I've ever had. Try it out! Great prices too.

Very small portions, especially for the price. Got the chicken shawarma wrap and it looked like a kid's meal. Cost 15 dollars. The salad was a couple of tablespoons of lettuce. Ridiculous. The taste wasn't even good enough to make up for the portion or price. Very

Got the beef and chicken shwarmas and would not recommend them. Both used paper thin "pitas" and the beef one was missing sauce on one half. The food took ten minutes to prepare and the results conclude that this place doesn't know what they're doing.

Seating is a little sparse, but food was delicious. I had the salmon kabab and my friend got the chicken kabob. Both meals were wonderful!

This is the best location. In my humble opinion, Belmont heights is the one most worth going to because of the overall service, portion, and taste. You can share a plate with someone or be super full off your own. I've gone to every location by the way. I first had Green Olive some years back at a meeting. They got catering from here and when I tell you I had one bite and ran to our director and asked where the food was from! I love Mediterranean food and the flavors experienced here were incredible. My favorite thing is ordering some chicken tawook and adding some veggie skewers, which is not on the menu but doable ;) And I truly can't pick between the garlic and jalapeño sauce. They're both so good and I can NOT eat my food without them both! Their pita bread is also sold by bag and it's super cheap!! I think it's a dollar. Like literally a dollar and it's on a stand by the exit. Parking is awesome, they have a shared lot of street parking is on a great area of Long Beach and won't be a hassle. One of my favorite things is getting takeout here and eating it at the Colorado lagoon to watch the sunset. Don't tell anyone OK? I don't want it to get crowded. Anyway, I truly do recommend you try something here. Feel free to go to any of their locations but this one has my heart and I will continue patronizing as long as I'm breathing.

Their food is delicious! I've only ever had take out from here but it's always been good. As of now it's the best Mediterranean food I've had in LB. I've had the chicken kabob plate. And would def recommend!

Food was great. Lots of flavor and tasted like I hoped it would. Both meats were tender,good quality, and deliciously seasoned. Portions are perfect and the service is top notch.
The food was great! I ordered the chicken kebab plate and it was fresh. I definitely recommend

The green olive is a small chain of Mediterranean fast casual Syrian restaurants based in Downey. I couldn't help notice they carry fatuous salad which is a turkish chopped salad. I grew up in a city with a modicum of Syrians. I love love love middle eastern and chopped salads!!! My neighbor and I walked there. I like to shop local and support small businesses. It's on a corner so we meandered in and perused their menu. The standard fare. Looked good. My neighbor followed my lead and we both ordered a large fattoush salad. When the super smiley, friendly and helpful woman delivered our salads to the table, my jaw dropped. It was NOT chopped and NOT a fattoush salad! Bummer! Our salads did not have the prerequisite chopped cucumbers and chopped tomatoes. Instead it was a western style salad with lettuce leafs. There were small pita slices as there should be but they were ultra thin and hard as a rock. In a turkish fatuous salad, the pita is there to absorb the excess lemon juice and EVOO extra virgin olive oil. the dressing served did not taste right. My lovely neighbor and I picked at our salads and chatted. The service was wonderful as my water glass was cheerfully, voluntarily filled multiple times. 5 star service! Usually independent Mediterranean and middle eastern restaurants are warm places with a comforting, friendly vibe. Here is did not exude that. I hate to leave so few stars.

Fresh delicious food, great service and never had to wait too long. The chicken is my favorite but I've had everything and it's all good. Also don't forget to try the dessert.

Delicious and fast service. The hummus was incredible smooth and creamy and the chicken seasoned flavorfully. I wish the pita was softer but it was still super good. i'll be back
