A local hole in the wall. The atmosphere is a little rough, the ceiling has a number of stained tiles, clearly some leaks, maintenance issues. If you need to pot a plant, there is a sack of open potting soil ready to use. No plants in sight that I noticed.
The female employee was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Hubby had the gyro plate. Gyro meat was delicious. Hummus was good. Rice a little gummy. Green salad was good. I had the vegetarian plate. Hummus good, Boba ganush wasn’t to my liking it was lacking flavor and was runny. My green salad was too vinegary to enjoy. The dolmas were better than average. The falafel was pretty good.
The tzatziki sauce in the tiny plastic container is good. The tahini sauce tasteless. The jalapeño sauce was the star, the gyro meat pairs well with that little plastic container of sauce. Around $16 per place. $2.99 split charge
I wish sit down restaurants would just serve sauces in a dish. The food was served on real plates with real silverware. Stop with plastic cups with little lids.
The naan bread is dry and not warm. We are used to a warm chewy texture.
But! The baklava was a very nice sized portion and absolutely delicious. They obtain from a local bakery.
The bathroom needs a deep cleaning, walls repaired and paint.
The kitchen seemed clean, food came out quickly.
Some deep cleaning and paint with replacing the ruined fire tiles would be a big improvement.
4 stars is the best I could rate.

The most authentic, delicious, flavorful, highest quality and quantity Mediterranean food!! We got the works, starting with the spicy potatoes, homemade thinly sliced, fried potatoes with a spicy sauce (I’m not a high spice person, these were amazing to me)!! Three skewers, lamb, beef, chicken all seasoned lovely!! Two stuffed grape leaves and 2 falafel. Homemade hummus, salad, tzatziki and salad dressing!! Warm pita bread!! The service was exceptional!! This was our first visit and will not be our last!! We highly recommend The Green Olive!!

One thing that I wanna mention about this place is the prices. You’re getting authentic Mediterranean style cuisine for the most affordable prices you can find in most restaurants nowadays. I ordered three different things for myself. My son ordered a few things and we got dessert. the portions are huge. We had to take most of it home and it was only $64. Everything was just exquisite full of flavor, fresh and authentic. I will be back!

Food was amazing! Portion sizes were huge and it was super fresh and affordable. The garlic fries and falafel were some of the best I’ve ever had!

Casual dining. Big portions. Fair prices. Fast and good service. I wasn’t too optimistic at first but absolutely loved the food. Sorry, forgot to take pictures of my plate because I was eating too fast.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant, a real standout in the DSM area. The portions were huge, and the service was some of the friendliest I’ve ever experienced. Everything I tried was delicious, but the feta fries were an instant favorite; I hadn’t expected them to be so flavorful, but they ended up being some of the best topped fries I’ve ever had. Overall, this place serves some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve come across. It’s a great spot whether you already love Mediterranean cuisine or just want to try something new. Luckily I don’t live nearby, or I’d probably be here every day.

This was the first time coming here. We ordered out because of our timing. We got the #17 Gyro Meat Wrap with spicy potatoes and grape leaves. All so good .

I had no clue what I was in for! Everything we ordered was delicious. One thing I didn’t get a picture of was the cantaloupe juice! It may have been my favorite thing, and the entire meal was phenomenal. The spicy potatoes aren’t super spicy. Just a hint of jalapeño. The euro was perfect. The feta fries were delicious! Our waitress was super sweet! Honestly the entire experience was amazing!!!!

Stopped here on a road trip passing through. Food was amazing. It gave me the feeling it was real and made from scratch- in the best way possible. I would eat anything this restaurant put in front of me.
Restaurant was clean, service was wonderful. Bathroom had a container of feminine hygiene items for guests to use and a baby changing table – as a mom, I super appreciate.
