A new Mediterranean spot, offering falafel and more, has debuted in the neighborhood. The new arrival to University Park, called The Green Olive, is located at 3031 S. Figueroa St.
The restaurant serves classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. On the menu, look for lentil soup, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, chicken kebabs, gyros, lemon chicken, beef shawarma, fattouch salad and tabouleh. End the meal on a sweet note with baklava.
The new arrival has made a promising start, with a 3.5-star rating out of seven reviews on Yelp.
Duke S., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 19, wrote, "New restaurant with friendly staff. Décor is tastefully done and warm... The kafta was the bomb with fresh herbs and spices. The beef was tender and when sandwiched between pita and dipped in hummus — can't explain it, just try it."
And Karan R. noted, "Food is amazing! Staff is friendly! Your meal comes out smelling and looking fresh and yummy. I highly recommend checking this spot out."
