The Green Olive

Nestled on Stage Road B in the heart of Santa Fe Springs, The Green Olive offers a bright, Mediterranean‑inspired dining experience that blends fresh, health‑focused flavors with a welcoming Southern California vibe. The interior features whitewashed walls, rustic wooden tables, and subtle olive‑green accents that echo the restaurant’s name, while an open kitchen lets guests watch seasoned kebabs sizzle over charcoal. Signature dishes include the chicken kebab marinated for up to sixty hours, juicy beef and shrimp skewers, and the salmon kebab brushed with a citrus‑herb glaze. Guests can also enjoy hearty pita wraps—gyro, beef, or the house‑famous chicken—paired with crisp salads such as tabouli, fattoush, Greek salad, and grilled vegetable medleys. For lighter, keto‑friendly meals, the menu offers the option to swap rice for a generous portion of salad. Desserts round out the meal with flaky baklava drizzled in honey and a creamy cheesecake. Prices range from $12 for a salad to $22 for a full kebab plate, making it an affordable spot for families and office lunches. The Green Olive is open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 7 pm, and offers catering for weddings, corporate events, and community gatherings, delivering the same fresh flavors in larger feasts. Whether you’re a local looking for a quick, nutritious bite or a visitor seeking authentic Mediterranean cuisine, The Green Olive promises a flavorful, wholesome experience just minutes from the Santa Fe Springs Marketplace and Civic Center.
