5/2020 Ordered the chicken kabob fam deal which includes: chicken kabob, rice, salad, 1 tub hummus
Portions: good amount. Menu states for this deal, there's 40 pcs of chicken kabob. I didn't count. Hefty serving of rice. 1 takeout container size of salad 1 medium size tub hummus.
Aroma: Rice smelled good, kabob has that grilled redolence. Salad is wafting with vinaigrette. 6/10
Taste: chicken kabob is not savory at all...as though it wasn't marinated. Very dry. It also imparts this metallic taste (probably from the tin foil container) 4/10. Rice was good but a bit soggy( the foil cover was the culprit. I'm familiar with not covering the prepared dish mise en plat whilst the temp is up) 6/10
Hummus was good but very oily. 6/10
Salad is Salad as a side. N/A points wise.
Verdict: will give it a chance by dining in to see if there's any difference.
12/27 update:
Chicken kabob meal:
Kabob Taste: 10/10 marinated/seasoned well, medium cooked, seared perfectly.
Rice taste: ok yet still meager compared to A1, tastewise.
Steamed slaw/salad/veggies: Pass but I'll keep the seared half tomato (can we get a whole) and Jalapeños...they're great.
Hummus: 7/10 Ok. Good but Noticeably sour...I know classic Hummus is tangy but this goes past it. Maybe how the sesame seeds were prepped or the lemon zest sprinkling. Gotta have that 'hummusumami' flavor please.
Service (take out)
10/10 courteous and within time ETA 15 min,...

Meh is the best I can rate this.
I LOVED this place when it was just Olives and associated with the lancaster store. We always came to the Palmdale store because the location was more convenient, but we will DEFINITELY be going to the lancaster store for future meals.
This was our first experience with Black Olives. First, I place 2 orders, one for hubs and I and one for my parents. I did online, they (in their words) “got busy” and so didn’t call to inform me that they were out of what my mom ordered, so when my parents got to the store to pick up dinner our food had to sit and wait while they prepared something new for her. According to my mom, at first they were barely even apologetic for messing up, then when they realized she’d give a bad review they made up for the mistake.
When I opened my order, they didn’t included the $3 worth of sauces I paid for, however they gave my mom extra (none of which she paid/asked for) in her order for the mess up so we at least got some from her. As for the quality of the food hub and I ordered… We both got the chicken shawarma plate. It was seasoned well and had decent texture. The rice was good. I was extremely underwhelmed with the cabbage salad and I’ve had better hummus. I also ordered a side of falafel, and while the flavor was decent, they were WAY more dry than I’ve ever had them before.
As stated earlier. This was our first visit to black olives and will...

Beef Lula kabob:..looked like red pepperoni sticks. Super dry, red in color, spicy and minty(not sure why), but seriously lacking kabob flavor. I added salt, then squeezed some lemon over it, to to improve it to no avail. There was just no changing the strong mint/hot seasonings. Not like any Armenian food that I've tasted, and I've tasted many varieties. From Russian, Lebanese to Iranian. Love them all, and they are all similar in taste. The Hummus: was one of the best I've tasted, full of flavor and just the right amount of seasonings. A+ for the hummus. Rice: cheap rice, and undercooked. Not the better rice that most offer, and I certainly didn't expect cheap rice when paying over $17.00 for a Lula Kabob plate. Used to be $14.99 according to the previous menu. Jalapeño and tomato: one jalapeño and half of a Roma tomato, partially roasted in an open fire. Again...being cheap with only half of a Roma tomato. There is no cheaper tomato, it's a tasty tomato, but half? Side salad: flavors were ok, but who wants their salad minced into little pieces? How do you eat that with a plastic fork? Just leave the salad alone, season it and serve it. Doesn't need a chop. So hard to find good Armenian food in the A.V. The search continues. Next time I walk into an empty restaurant at lunchtime, I'm moon walking right out. I'm not even looking at the menu. No customers means, keep...
