The Green Olive

I loved the marinade on the meat. I ordered the trio combo with chicken, shrimp, and lamb, and enjoyed it. The chicken and shrimp were very tender and juicy, while the lamb was slightly tough. The salad with dressing and the hummus served with the meat were excellent, and the pita was hot and soft. The garlic fries were crispy but could have had a bit more flavor, while the spicy potatoes were absolutely delicious. I also highly recommend getting their garlic sauce and cilantro sauce on the side—they pair well with almost everything on the menu and tasted really good. I went there with my husband and 2 friends. It wasn’t too crowded, but we did have to wait about 30 minutes before being served. Other than that, the staff were friendly and the service was good. I would definitely come back again🙂

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐➕➕ 5-Star Plus Plus Review: Green Olive at 1960 Grand Ave, West Des Moines, IA 50265 Green Olive absolutely delivered a meal that felt like comfort food and a special treat at the same time. I ordered the combo meal, and it was the kind of plate that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite because there is so much flavor and variety. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, with that perfect balance of warm spices that tastes rich without being too heavy. The beef had a deep, savory flavor and a satisfying bite, and the lamb was the real standout. It tasted clean, bold, and cooked just right, with that hearty, slightly smoky taste that makes lamb worth ordering. Every protein on the plate felt like it was prepared with care, not rushed. The rice was fresh and fluffy, and it did exactly what great rice should do. It held the meal together and soaked up the flavor from everything around it. Then came the best part, the variety of sauces. Each sauce brought something different. One added a creamy smooth finish, another gave a bright kick, and another brought that deeper, bold flavor that keeps you coming back for one more bite. I loved being able to mix and match because it made the meal feel like several meals in one. To finish, I had the cheesecake and coffee, and that was the perfect ending. The cheesecake was smooth, rich, and satisfying without being overly sweet. The coffee was warm, strong, and comforting, and it tied everything together like a great closing note. Bottom line: Green Olive gave me a full, flavorful, and well-balanced experience from the first bite to the last sip. If you want a meal that is filling, fresh, and packed with variety, the combo meal is the way to go. The staff were friendly and kind absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!
