Review The Golden Olive - Seattle

Heather A Adams
We ordered this for takeout and it was absolutely delicious. We didn’t order any meat so can’t update there but we absolutely loved the falafel. The garlic spread was incredible full of garlic flavor and perfect on everything. The pita as light and fluffy BUT make sure to order more because there wasn't not enough. We did not enjoy the fried cauliflower gyro, that's the only one I can't reccomend.

My favorite restaurant in all of Seattle! I’ve tried almost everything on the menu at this point, and every single item is fantastic! I come to lunch or dinner here almost every day for the past year and a half, and still never get tired of the food. Highly recommend!!

My first time eating here, I got the lamb shawarma plate and it was EXCELLENT. Everything was so flavorful. And the salad perfectly dressed. The lamb was perfect! And that hummus!!!! I told the person who helped me that hands down was the best hummus ever! U would’ve been satisfied with just a bowl of that hummus for lunch. Lol. Definitely next time im in the queen anne area i will be back.

A great spot to lunch if you’re doing any activities around the Space Needle. We came from the museum of pop culture and were starving. The food was delicious and an incredible value. Best review of all was our group had 5 kids under 10 and they all loved it. I hate to say it because it’s just Pita… but omg that Pita!

Delicious. My dad’s family is from the Middle East so we definitely know what authentic tastes like. Food was fantastic.

Gyro filling and ready fast. Ordered the classic/regular one and pistachio baklava. Would visit again when in the area.

So, we had Greek fries, Chicken Fries Salad, Kufta Kabab plate and Lamb shawarma plate. Each one of them aced in taste and quality. It was served in good proportion. The Chicken fries are awesome!! Loved it. The pita bread is soft and the Greek salad on the plate really balanced off the dish. One of the best Mediterranean restaurant .

We have been eating at The Golden Olive since they opened. The food here has been amazing since day one! Their mains are always delicious. The falafel is one of the best, if not the best, in the city. Super crunchy with a delicious soft center. Their chicken is always moist and flavorful, the lamb is perfect every time, and the kofta is fantastic. The hummus is also quite tasty. Their rice is phenomenal and the veggies are always fresh. My husband especially likes their pillowy pitas. We live across the country now, but I don’t miss the opportunity to have lunch at The Golden Olive when we make it to Seattle for a visit.

Super good lamb plate! Filling, flavorful, and love having the variety of hummus and pita and meat and rice AND salad. Just feels like such a wonderfully well rounded meal, and could definitely be broken up into two meals if you don't wanna pass out into an awesome post-Mediterranean food coma. But I did, so no complaints here 🤪

The food was SO GOOD. I got the chicken fries and the sauce was so perfectly garlicky. There was a lot of food, definitely the kind of place you will have leftovers from. Very affordable. I got a large plate of fries and it came to about $11 with tax. I highly recommend it.

We tried the chicken and lamb kabob - the former was good, I do recommend. The latter meat was too hard. The rice didn't seem fresh/hot. Service is quick. Seems like a place more popular for pickup.

Love this place and the guys who run it. Great quality, tasty food, and wonderful customer service. We are so lucky to have this restaurant in our neighborhood. The food, quantities and delicious food these guys deliver is amazing! Thank you for all you do!!

I ordered a take out from this restaurant via GrubHub. The vegetarian options are worthy and quantity is enough. I loved their falafel balls and the salad was yummy. I will try this place next time I'm dining there.

This restaurant really made my day! I’ve been looking for high quality Mediterranean food for the longest time around the area and I just so happened to stop by to try out their chicken fries and I almost collapsed on the bench 😵 from how good it was tasting. If your a tourist or just trying to try something new I definitely recommend The Golden Olive 👍.

Very well may be the best Gyro I’ve ever had. The lamb gyro is WOW. Falafels are also so good. Amen.
Kayden LaBrake
I ordered their falafel sandwich and a side of fries. I ordered delivery, so I do not know what the conditions of the inside of the restaurant actually looks like. However, the food is very good. The fries serving is quite large, and it was only about $3.49 for the side.

Food was basic Greekish/kabob shop. Fresh, tasty but basic. Kabob salad was a couple grape tomatoes, kabob beef, romaine, and dressing. Dolmas were fresh. Staff gave us our food, ignored us, and then talked loudly behind the counter ( probably in Arabic ) with the kitchen staff the entire time during the time of our visit with a fairly full dining room. From the reviews we were expecting something more upscale. This place would be one of these least friendly ‘Mediterranean’ shops with the most basic fare of any we’ve visited. Probably great for neighborhood takeout and lunch but not recommended for a nice evening out.

What a gem! Of all the times of hang'n out at Uptown and Seattle Center and not noticing this lil' spot I am excited to have walked in and ordered the chicken gyro and falafel gyro. The falafel was perfectly cooked and tasty, chicken perfectly seasoned and tender... you will not be disappointed. The owners and helpers were super nice and care about their entrées. A "must go to" every time now.

I ordered the chicken gyro, chicken kabab plate, and baklava. The pita bread is awesome! The plate was great. Chicken was moist and rice cooked perfectly. Not a fan of the hummus but wasn't too bad. Gyro: I ordered sauces on the side but it came with everything on it so I couldn't scrape enough off to taste the ingredients well enough to tell you if I would have liked it or not. Baklava was amazing!

Little place off Queen Anne Blvd. that I would’ve missed if I wasn’t looking for it. Low key but warm atmosphere. The Lamb Gyro 🥙 Combo dinner was excellent with generous portions. Not quite ‘Man Vs Food’ size but filling. Will go there again my next time in the area.
Ibra Abualrob
Amazing food and amazing crew, the owner Khaled his self take care of everything. reasonably priced generous portions.
