    4.2 stars. Love this place back in college at Rochester NY. Glad to be back for the taste. The indoor setup need to fix up again. Here is the menu!

    Side Salad
    Steven B.

    As I was enjoying my coffee on the morning of May 12, 2021, I checked to see what was selected as the ROTD in STL. To my surprise, it was a restaurant in Alton, IL and barely a mile and half from my house. Once I saw that, it was an easy decision on where I'd be going for lunch that day. I remember eating at Olga's when I worked in various malls in STL, but I seriously had thought they had disappeared. To my surprise the one at Alton Square Mall is still going strong. What is sad, is that it literally is the only thing that is open on the second level, but the Alton community still supports them and keeps them going. Honestly I am surprised they haven't moved to a strip-center where they'd get better traffic. Any way, let's talk about my lunch. I was very pleased and most likely will be returning, but will do carry-out as I saw many others doing. The day I dined, they had a special which included; The Original Olga, small Olga salad and a side of Olga's seasoned curly fries. Now that was a filling and delicious combo meal. I enjoyed the small Greek salad and the gyro meat was tender. Those crazy curly fries are a treat plain and when they are seasoned, they truly are a treat. Visiting during COVID, they provided me with a "Little Cup of Ketchup" for dipping my fries. To be honest, I always prefer my ketchup in a little cup, so I was extremely delighted to see it on my plate. My beverage of choice was iced tea and when I asked for Spelenda, they brought me individual packets and placed them on the table. Again, it was a good and safe precaution during our pandemic. The service was friendly and attentive. Their ambiance was bare bones and simple. When I lived in STL, I had so many choices for a gyro. Here in Alton, the choice are minimal. I'm glad I have re-discovered Olga's and that their gyro satisfies my craving. I'll be calling and doing carry-out in the very near future. When: May 12, 2021 Why: Lunch - It was todays, ROTD.

    We come up from Belleville every month or so because we love Olga's so much but the food is definitely hit or miss. They've definitely gotten better over the past half year and service is always good! We will continue coming back for our favorite classics

    Loaded Hummus
    Wanda H.

    Soooooo, this review goes to show how just one little cog in the wheel can really color one's whole experience... We were seated at the very back of the restaurant, right under a vent. I usually like it on the cooler side, but this was TOO cold. We moved up a table, which helped a little. People at the booth along the wall saw us move, and said that they were freezing too. When the waitress came back, we told her we were all cold so she turned the temperature up. MUCH appreciated. Not sure if it was complaining about that, but afterwards, our service was almost non-existent. I ordered the Loaded Hummus which the waitress suggested and I was very grateful for the suggestion. It was DELICIOUS and.... not on the menu. An advertisement pasted on the table??? I also had Zucchini Fries which were good too. Just not a whole lot of them. The only NOT good thing was the service. We had to ask numerous times for plain mustard, and then napkins. And she kept passing us by to wait on other tables even though it was very evident we were needing assistance. And she told us several times she would be right back, and then.... The food was 4 star, but the ambiance and service brought the overall rating down for me.

    Steak burger
    Tim P.

    Had their steak burger, we got here at 1PM and there was a line to get in. Didn't take long but obviously they had a large lunch crowd. Service was fast, and food was not fresh hot, but was hot enough. Very tasteful

I'm surprised they don't charge more because after purchasing I always find myself saying something along the lines of "I can't believe they don't charge more for this deliciousness". I've tried their baklava before I knew it wasn't vegan, and it left such a memorable mark on my tastebuds. I wish there were a vegan option, but that's just me being me. I've had their hummus too, but because it's a consistent grocery purchase of mine I don't get it as much when I come here. The picture attached to this review has falafel from Kaslik. The other food was something I prepared earlier in the day for dinner, and then I realized falafel from Kaslik would go perfectly with it.

Kaslik has a warm energy when entering the restaurant. You're greeted with a friendly smile, impressive decor and great music. Kaslik has plenty of seating for any party and wa able to get a table without having to wait. Our server brought os refreshments while we reviewed the menu. Kaslik has the traditional menu you would expect to see, but you can easily smell the delicious food from the restaurant. We went with a fresh fatoush salad, grilled chicken and beef Schwarma plate. Salad was very fresh and would've ordered another it was so good. Our dishes were also delicious and unfortunately did not leave with any leftovers. Service was great and prices were reasonable. Highly recommend Kaslik Mediterranean Restaurant and will definitely be back!

As always, the food is simply delicious. What really pissed me off? Upon leaving, I asked for a container to take most of it home because it was too much to eat. The young woman served me a brown cardboard wax-coated box to dump everything in. She said, "Will this do?" No bag to carry it home or prevent the 2 oz. Soufflé cup Olive Oil, and partially full- 2 oz. Soufflé cup of Tzatziki. I asked if I could get an extra 2 oz. portion of Tazatziki. The young woman looked at me rudely and as if she would be terribly inconvenienced, she said "We charge extra for that!" I replied "Just FORGET it!" She was very attentive to a table of females behind me who were obnoxiously loud! I regret I left her a tip after spending $40.00 + for lunch. Your To-go orders include very fancy packaging in orange bag, oversized white plastic bag. I'm a sure an extra 2.0 oz portion of Tazatziki wouldn't break your piggy bank and cost a helluva lot less. Truly disappointing snd pathetic. If you want similar, delicious cuisine and nicer service, spend your money at Balkin Treat Box. At least you won't be rudely, mistreated by arrogant, lazy "Millennial" wait-staff.
