Bummed to say the least. I've been craving this place for a…read morefew month, so I picked up takeout tonight. Such a disappointment. First off I've always loved the food at this place, but stick to carry out because it's a weird vibe all around when I go in. Tonight, on a Friday night, it was super silent. Lots of people, but everyone was awkwardly looking at their phone. The man from the kitchen always seems to be yelling at the staff when I come in, but tonight it was even more tense. Thankfully, my food was already ready to go and they checked me out pretty quickly. Sadly, when I got home, I didn't find the usual takeout. Part of the mousaka looked like it was missing and my pita bread was very stale. Also, the cucumbers in the salad were random sizes, massive, hunks, and thin slices. Not a huge deal but just seems like their kitchen was pretty off tonight and I hope that's not the new normal. I'll definitely be back though, this was the one and only time I've had a bad experience with the food.

You can't go wrong with Olympia. This place is a staple in STL for Greek food. The saganaki is…read moreprobably my favorite reason to go there. I've had several different dishes but I always go back to the Gyro with plenty of tzatziki sauce. My wife loves their Mediterranean Mixed Vegetables, she could just eat those and be happy. It's a family run spot and the decor is a bit dated, but I think that is what makes it cozy. Our servers are always friendly and the food comes out quickly. Make sure to give it a shot even when the wait is long. This spot is always busy for a reason.

I was also glad that they provided a lot of salad, as I was able to enjoy it for both lunch and dinner. Small space with one person working! Recommend ordering in advance!

I was looking for someplace new for lunch and a friend recommended, Cafe Nova. When I lived in STL,…read moreI drove by numerous times and always told myself I needed to check it out. Well, I no longer live in STL and I am finally checking it out. Now that I have, I am pissed at myself that I didn't try it sooner. I stopped by for lunch and enjoyed a Nova Gyro that was served with a side of fries. For a minimal up-charge, I had them add Feta Cheese to mine. When the Gyro arrived, it was super huge. It was so big, I could hardly pick it up to take a bite. I ended up eating part of it as a salad with a fork until I could finally pick it up and eat it like a true Gyro. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tender. It was smothered in their house made tzatziki sauce and wrapped in a warm Pita. The toppings were plentiful and they were; sliced red onion, shredded crisp lettuce, cucumbers and vine ripe tomatoes. Adding the Feta Cheese, was a wise move. It added, an extra Greek kick to the Gyro. My glass of Pinot Grigio was a perfect accompaniment to my lunch. With it being super huge, I took a third of it home and made a salad out of it for dinner. The only negative, is their take home vessels are styrofoam and not eco-friendly. The service was attentive and friendly. My server was training a new gentleman and think he's going to do a great job. I'm already thinking about a return visit, because I need to try the baklava.

We took the first table available, which happened to be in the middle of the entry way. It was a rather odd placement, but it beat having to wait! Our server was prompt and immediately gave us water and menus. Since it was late, I opted for something light and chose the blackened white fish that came with rice pilaf and veggies. Score for being healthy and fitting my macros without having to substitute. My boyfriend got the hot wings and a gyro salad, while his friend got the chicken kebabs and a salad. Their food came first while mine came later. I sampled a piece of the gyro meat and it was quite tasty but had a taco flavor, which I found odd considering we were at a Greek restaurant! My dish was good. It wasn't that blackened but it was still seasoned well and had great flavor. The vegetables were a bit basic and could have used more seasoning. Aside from that, the dish was a hit and our service was great. I'll for sure be back.
