Green Olive is a gem near USC! The food is incredibly tasty, delicious, and fresh. We tried both the chicken and lamb shawarma platters, and they were fantastic. The salads were crisp and flavorful, complementing the meats perfectly. Plus, everything is very affordable, making it a great spot for a quick, satisfying Mediterranean meal. They have pizza so I’ll be back! They also have gluten free and vegan options.
This restaurant has amazing ambience to dine in. My husband and I are vegetarians and a lot of good options are available here for vegetarians. The food is tasty and the prices are reasonable. We were served by David and he was polite and patient to hear us out and serve us what we wanted. Definitely will come back here when we visit Columbia!
Very quiet on a Wednesday evening. I've read some comments about the atmosphere, it is not fancy but I am absolutely fine with that. Our server David was efficient and very courteous. The food is typical Mediterranean, but that is why we go to Green Olive. In my opinion, their Damascus bread is better than any I have ever tasted elsewhere, a bit chewier and thicker than most. The appetizer platter was great. I felt the portions were generous we had the spicy chicken curry over rice and the chicken tips over rice. Shepherd salad could use a bit more flavor, but it was okay. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. Parking: Free parking after 6 PM.
Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for a satisfying meal, this place delivers. Don’t miss out on their flavorful offerings! The Lamb Kofta Wrap was an explosion of flavors! The juicy kofta, seasoned to perfection, was wrapped in soft pita bread. Each bite was a delightful blend of spices and textures. The Curry Chicken was a comforting bowl of aromatic goodness. The rich curry sauce enveloped tender chunks of chicken, accompanied by rice. The balance of spices was spot-on, warming both my heart and palate. let’s talk about the best part—the prices! It is durprisingly budget-friendly. It’s rare to find such quality food at such reasonable prices.
My co-workers and I had the pleasure of trying the cheese pizza, spinach feta with banana peppers pizza and the chicken barbecue sauce pizza. Only two words can describe the pizza "Simply Delicious." The flavors and spices on the pizzas were very authentic and flavourful. The owner is also very nice, kind and professional. I highly recommend Green Olive restaurant to everyone.
Only the pide bread was fine! Salad, lamb kebab, chicken curry, etc
My first time here and was not disappointed! I loved the hummus, falafel and Mediterranean pita bread. So yummy! The service was fabulous and the atmosphere was pleasant. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!Recommended dishesGreen Olive Sampler
Very calm, relaxing atmosphere. There's only one waitress but we were seated and served quickly. The Turkish red lentil soup is comforting. The mixed shawarma platter has lots of juicy, tender, chicken and lamb both full of flavor over perfectly cooked and seasoned basmati rice. I took a bite of the pita burger and it was excellent, seasoned to perfection. We're coming back to try a pizza
Service as amazing but the food completely lacked flavor. Chicken vegetable soup was full of veggies and chicken but was sadly bland and the chicken was somehow dry. The gyro wrap was okay, good amount of meat but again, flavor lacking.
We stopped in for a quick bite between events and it was SO GOOD! We ordered the sampler platter and the feta plate and loved them both! Great small meal for 3 with warm bread and delightful olive oil!! We’ll be back!!Food: 5/5
