The Fresh Green Olive HB

Came here for lunch with a group of 12 people.
This place is perfect for large groups.
We had the option of ordering individually at the counter or sitting at the table to order.
With each of us paying separately it was easiest to order at the counter. I ordered the beef shawarma wrap.
We were given a happy hour discount so mine was just under $14 We sat at the table and the waiter brought pitchers of cucumber water.
Freshly made pitas were brought out as well as homemade pita chips for the table.
I asked if I could try their hummus and was brought a side dish of it.
Delicious! My wrap was fantastic.
Served with a side salad and some dill pickles.
The dressing/sauce on the salad was amazing.
The wrap was super flavorful and enough that I ate half for lunch and took the other half home. The owner found out it was a birthday celebration and played happy birthday in multiple languages for us.
It was pretty funny but a great experience. They even have a small separate room for private occasions. We all recommend this place and we said we’d come back again for sure!!

Absolutely delicious, everything from rice, to salad to hummus and bread to the lamb chops to filet mignon.
If I could give 10 stars I would.
My favorite Mediterranean restaurant ever in Orange County..

Came all the way from Colorado and this place did not disappoint! The cliff notes: 10 out of 10 would eat here again.
Fresh, flavorful, and friendly Full Review: Walking in I noticed that the place was super clean and felt comfortable.
We ordered at the counter and the service was not only friendly but felt especially genuine.
After ordering we sat at a booth and waters, salad, pita, and hummus was brought over.
Our meals were brought out shortly after.
Everything tasted incredibly fresh, the portions were ample (I could get 2 meals out of a plate), and cooked to perfection. The gyro meat was tender (not crispy or dry) and had balanced seasoning.
The falafel was crispy and golden on the outside and had a great texture (not crumbly or dry).
The grilled chicken was super tender too.
I enjoyed that the grape leaves came out hot, so often I have these served cold at other places, I feel they are more flavorful when served warm… so again I was impressed I enjoyed the hummus with pita chips and the garlic spread. It
