In the back of a grocery store, there's a sports bar, but don't let that fool you into thinking the food is boring. It's great Lebanese cuisine! The grape leaves are a bit different than your standard Greek style, but in a good way. Service was also fantastic. As one would expect from a sports bar, it was loud, but the Bills/Steelers game was on, so can't complain.Parking: We weren't sure if the big lot behind the store was for customers or not. If it is, then there's plenty of parking.

Used to have juicy Levantine food. Appear to have changed management from Syrian Arab (juicy moist meat) to "some other group" which fells obliged to cook all the juices out out of meats and overdo the lemon on everything. Israeli?The reason for seeking the Syrian/Lebanese style is the juicy, tender, moist, pink meat (chicken, beef, lamb).No longer offered. Religious food dogma misinterpreted?They DO claim to serve shrimp, so that may not be it.Parking: Dark as a tomb and behind the store out of sight from the street.

Delicious, authentic, and so worth coming! Sit in the restaurant area. Nice servers. Good beers in icy goblets.

Really fantastic Veggie Mediterranean fare with a slightly awkward location at the back of a grocery store. It’s good enough it should be it’s own place! Loved the eggplant wrap and the house-made dolmas!

I love the Santa Cruz Market/ Green Olive so much! I have been coming here for years, and their meat dept is fantastic, and the food is amazing! I love to get the kabob plates with rice and hummus! Their garlic sauce and green sauce is delicious! I love their burgers as well, very big- practically shareable! The green olive catered my wedding of 120 people and did a fantastic job, they promised to be on time and they were! Come here if you need high quality steaks, kabobs, burgers, homemade baklava and more!

Hidden gem with excellent gyros, kabobs, and other Syrian food. There's a small sports bar/restaurant in the back of the market where you can dine in, but we mostly utilize as take-out.
