Great middle eastern food in downtown Oxnard! Even though the downtown location of Green Olive opened-up this location 9 months ago, we had our first meal there last night, and left very satisfied! Located at 450 So. B Street, corner of B and 5th, we entered the very new-looking, bright and spotlessly clean restaurant and ordered at the counter from the many appetizing selections available. The appearance is mostly one of an order and take-out establishment, but there were 10 or 12 tables there for indoor and outdoor dining (which we chose.) While enjoying our meal, we witnessed a steady stream of customers picking-up their orders....how did I not know about this place??!! While there are vegetarian plates, we settled on the combination plates of skewers of chicken, steak, and "kofta" (ground or minced meat with middle eastern spices) kebabs, served on a bed of yellow rice, with sides of salad and hummus. and warm, fresh pita. Very reasonably priced and very generous portions, the meal was delicious. The very kind and exceedingly hospitable manager (and chef), Thabet, also added to the enjoyment of the evening.

We welcome Green Olive to our "short list" of favorites in Oxnard and we're very happy to see the diversity in choices that is beginning to appear here. We highly recommend the downtown Green Olive for a casual, but delicious,...
Read moreThe best Mediterranean food I’ve had in my journey across the states and I mean that as someone who has tasted my way coast to coast. The Green Olive in Oxnard is a hidden gem that deserves to be shouted from the rooftops (or at least heavily bookmarked on your GPS).
The meats are seasoned with masterful balance, bold enough to sing, but never so loud that they drown out the natural, juicy flavors. Each bite feels like it was crafted by someone who respects both the ingredients and the eater’s soul.
The portions are generous, the prices are more than reasonable, and the service is warm and attentive.
Whether you're a local or just passing through on your own journey, this place is a must. Go there hungry, leave happy, and...
