Food is really good, portions are generous, price is reasonable, and I personally enjoy the “no-frills” mom & pop vibe to a fake attempt at creating atmosphere. It’s a little slow because everything is made to order. They also have a real changing table in the bathroom, something I appreciate as a parent. A great place! Whatever the secret green sauce is, it’s delicious.

Very large portions, had leftovers for days! Great food, friendly helpful staff, we will definitely go back and at least pick up takeout, if we don't dine in. They are opening a second location in West Des Moines! Try the Jalapeño salsa, delicious.

The Green Olive has the best Mediterranean food in the whole Des Moines area! Their chicken schwarma is my favorite meal to order, but today we tried a #19 to try one of everything. Everything was perfect. The fluffy garlic sauce is so incredible, the chicken kabob was seasoned so wonderfully, and we can't wait to come back.
