I always love coming here because they are friendly and the outdoor seating is comfy and fosters a good sense of community. They also have a great beer selection and really good beer prices for the South Bay area. Today, I have to give the food mixed reviews. I enjoyed my knockwurst with grilled onions, sauerkraut and brown mustard. The sausage was tasty and the bun was soft and sweet. The krinkle fries held the ketchup well but were otherwise a little dull. I had to add salt. My wife felt the same about her fries and also the steak wrap. She said the steak was tender but not super flavorful, nor did the tzaziki have much flavor. The baklava was sweet and crunchy, but again the dough could have had more flavor. I enjoyed the pistachio over the chocolate.
Cozy, friendly owner and lovely outdoor seating on the main strip on Mountain Views food alley. We love various great selection of German beers on draft. A lots of authentic Mediterranean & German bakeries to choose from. We tried various baklava & really think it has great texture and not too sweet. My veal jager schnitzel came with large portion & tasty. The mushroom topping was crunchy & not overcook. The sauce is well blended. The crispy and tasty fried veal really complement the whole dishes esp. when you paired with some German beer. I also like the dolma, hummus & babaghanoush. They are great appetizer. The owner is very friendly. Talking to us and asked for feedback. Also, gave us complimentary feta fries! Would love to go back again in the future.
Located right at almost the end of Castro Street by the train station is this Turkish gem. Whenever you are in Mountain View and you want to try some real nice middle eastern food with more of a Turkish spin I would make this your stop. Whatever it is that you like they have it. Along with beers for you to savor during your meal or their "Happy Hour", they also have coffee and desserts. WE recently made a stop here for lunch and I had the Falafel wrap and it was great. It was the perfect lunch for that day. It most certainly has its own twist and was a bit different than what I have had before, but I loved it. The staff are great and friendly. I most certainly would come back again to try the wonderful looking bakery and caffe items.
Searching for a place to grab a quick meal, my party and I stumbled upon this restaurant. I found the environment very pleasant and the food to be alright. The prices were very fair, but I felt the food was just average overall. My party did not like their items and felt that what they paid for was not met. They have a great selection of alcohol but the advice they gave to my wife on how to pour her beer backfired as she ended up drinking 40% foam. I don't know if I'd ever come here again, but do you recommend the place as it's a decent place for parties to enjoy time together. 3/5.
I think the vibes were really cool, but something threw me off. There was an obvious greek theme they were going with but i felt like it was also pretty german due to the food and beer. I like the desserts. My favorite one has to be the napoleon because the taste was creamy and sweet but not enough for me to get tired of the flavor. The tiramisu tasted average but a little more on the sweeter side. My friends got beers and they liked the hibiscus one and a cider that i forgot the name of. The pistachio cake and carrot cake tasted pretty similar but not worth mentioning. My friends got the wurst platter and the sausage in the right was my favorite with the snap and string flavor. It was meaty without the gaminess. THE APPLE STRUDEL TASTED REALLY GOOD OMG I LIKED THE FLAVOR IT WAS MISSING ICE CREAM BUT OTHERWISE I LIKED IT
Really delicious but the bowl was mainly rice and the gyro was really salty for me. The hummus and veggies were awesome. The patio seating is so nice! The line to order can get long on a Friday at 6:30 pm but the food comes out pretty fast. They have wine and beer too.
It was an okay place to be dine, they have varieties of the beers, and foods and drink tastes okay. It was a relaxing Saturday, people show up after 11:30am. some People came dine here have extensive knowledges about the type of the beers they would like to orders. My friends said the foods were good. I tried their beer couple years ago.
This place is a decent place to gather with a big group. They have both QR code and counter ordering, which makes it easy to have separate checks and manage people showing up at different times. Also, their patio (on the side facing the Caltrain station) has plenty of tables with bench seating. Since the patio tables are pretty close together, it's easy to spread a group across a few of them, though it makes getting out a little hard for folks in the middle of the bench. But, the food is nothing special. The quantities are okay for the price, but the flavors aren't that pronounced. The beers looked good, though, so this place may be better for grabbing a drink than grabbing a meal.
PERFECT MV BRUNCH SPOT! this is my third time visiting this place for brunch, absolutely love it! Shakshuka is my go-to here but this time I tried Menemen and it was equally delish. Iced Latte with Hazelnut is not to be missed. It usually gets busy on Saturdays but we came here on a Sunday and no wait. Ambiance is as Californian as it gets, outdoor seating is my favorite on a good sunny day. Highly recommended!
Nice place to sit alone or be with company. The staff were friendly and served my food quickly, I hope to come back and try more dishes!
The falafel salad was HUGE! I couldn't believe how full I was after eating it. We sat outside since it was a nice, sunny day. They have plenty of outside seating! Service was wonderful. They were kind and helped us a lot.
I would definitely come back here! We had a mishap on the food and was brought the wrong order. After letting them know immediately of this mistake they took it back and made me my right order. We do regret ordering the Blueberry Pancakes though. The blueberry flavor was lacking and we were expecting more blueberries in it. The rest of the food did make up for it though! My partner loved her Chicken Wrap! She said it made up for the pancakes! And the fries were so delicious! I couldn't stop eating off of her plate. I also love how they give you ketchup, ranch, and hummus with the order. With the Nutella Texas French Toast I do wish that the pieces were thicker and there were more strawberries. But we did not leave one thing left on that plate!!!!!! It was so delicious and if I go back I will be getting that again! The restaurant has a tavern/pub vibe but we sat outside.

Olympus really delivered a fantastic experience! We ordered a mix of dishes including the hummus & pita, chicken sandwich, schnitzel plate, and tres leches--and every bite was spot on. The schnitzel plate was crispy and flavorful, and the tres leches dessert was hands down my favorite--light, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending. The outdoor bar had a relaxed, inviting vibe, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate a special request for caramelized onions with the schnitzel, which honestly took the dish to the next level. We also tried two different beers, both refreshing and well-balanced, and getting them served in giant boot-shaped glasses was a fun, memorable touch. Great food, great service, and great beer--definitely a spot worth visiting again. read more
Atmosphere was good but right next to Caltrain so you'll hear the loud blaring of the train every few minutes. The drinks were okay, nothing super memorable. The wine was bottled and the beer was just ok. Overall an alright place to grab a drink if you're on Castro but there's better on the street for sure. read more
I was really looking forward to trying this place because of the outdoor casual seating. Sad to say the food was just ok (chicken kebab wrap, gyros plate, gyros wrap). The gyros plate came out and it took 20 minutes for the pita that accompanied it to come out. When asked where the pita was we were just told that it's coming. I probably wouldn't come here again with all of the other options to try along the same street. read more

Such friendly staff and amazing food! The cocktails were perfect--especially refreshing for a warm summer day. I had one of the bowls and it was super fresh, flavorful, and very filling. Definitely coming back! read more

I don't know that to say. I was expecting much more from this place. Service was good. The place itself deserves a 5 stars for the atmosphere. It was really cozy and the heating allowed us to stay outside. But the food was not great. We were a large group of people so we ordered different types of desserts and tea and hot chocolate. The tea wasn't bad but the hot chocolate was way too sweet. Nobody could eat the desserts because they were very sweet, old, and not tasty at all. This is why I am giving three stars. If you are nearby and want to sit with friends, then sure. But just order tea and stay away from the desserts. Don't get fooled by the way they look on the counter:( read more
I went to this restaurant because the Google said it was a Greek restaurant. Turns out it was really more Greek fast food place along with a German restaurant combined. The beer selection was almost all German and was very good. Beer was served in half liter or liter mugs. Good selection of German beers plus some others. The German menu was more extensive and went more into full plate meals. It was good but not great. I had a wurst platter. One wurst was really good, one was dry and not a good texture and one was watery. First time I had a watery sausage. read more
Swung by for the first time in a while for brunch on a Sunday and it looks like the Turkish cafe has combined with a bit of a German pub. Fear not, they still have all the delicious options from before. There is plenty of outdoor seating and you can order at your table via QR code or at the counter where they'll hand you a number. I genuinely enjoy the breakfast options here, but some of the items can lean into being rather pricey for what they are. I brought home some desserts as well; each one will probably drop you about 7 bucks, which is about what you would expect if you were picking something up from a boutique store. Highly recommend as they are delectable! Turkish Breakfast (2.75/5): Ultimately, all this is referring to is slices of sausages, cucumbers, tomatoes, and cheese served with a boiled egg, two small pastries, and some honey. Everything on the plate was quite fresh and high quality, but realistically speaking, I just can't justify this being nearly 18 dollars. Shakshuka Breakfast (5/5): Came out piping hot on a cast iron and was so, so flavorful with the eggs cooked perfectly having that runny yolk. The dish comes with thick, dimpled Turkish bread as a carby vessel to soak up all that deliciousness. Creme Brulee Cheesecake (4.25/5): A tad too sweet for me, but flecks of vanilla bean runs through the entire slice, which is delightful. The soft, creamy texture only adds to the feeling of luxury with this dessert. Pistachio and Ricotta Cake (4.25/5): The rich creaminess of the ricotta paired with the pistachio mousse is perfect, especially when you get an edge bite with bits of crunchy pistachios, it adds that textural contrast you're looking for. Some items I didn't get this time, but would still heavily recommend would be their Turkish tea and rice pudding; unique and delightful! Can't speak for their gyros and other lunch item menus, but for breakfast or a quick bite, this place is awesome. read more

Yesterday was our first and last time going to this place. We ordered gyro pitas that were incredibly disappointing. It took over an hour receive them, hardly had any meat, barely any flavor and one of the plates also had hair in the food. The outdoor tables surrounding us were all starting to complain about their wait time as well. The staff would bring out meals at random. They'd bring one table a meal then another table a meal leaving both tables with 1/2 of the food still missing. They also were awful at refilling their water. Several customers (including us) kept asking for them to refill their water and it was nearly 100 degrees out. The wait time was absolutely rediculus. We got up from the table to complain about waiting over an hour and all of a sudden our food came out within seconds. It was incredibly frustrating. read more
Very cute outdoor seating area! I came here for after work drinks with coworkers, and overall it was a good experience. They have a large selection of beers, but unfortunately only one type of cider. However, they also serve wine if you're not a big beer drinker, and their house cabernet wasn't bad at all. We ordered the Feta Fries which were cooked very well, but had a lot more garlic than feta. Still enjoyed them though! Overall, would probably return for the nice outdoor seating area and laid back ambience. read more
My cousin recommended this place after her co-worker said that the Turkish breakfast was good. We went there for late lunch on Thursday after hiking. This place is more like Mediterranean food than Greek food as yelp suggested. We ordered chicken souvlaki & kofte kebab to go. The chicken in chicken souvlaki was tender & cooked perfectly but it was too salty for me. They also only gave small amount of rice. The hummus that comes with it was delicious. My hubby ate the kofte kebab and said it was delicious - maybe he was starving after hiking. I tried a piece of beef from the kofte kebab and it was good - but nothing spectacular. The restaurant is right at the corner of Casto st - across VTA station. There is parking at the back of the restaurant. During covid, Casto st is closed to traffic so we parked couple blocks and walked to the restaurant read more

My boyfriend & I really love this place. We always go there for chilling on weekends. There are many kinds of beers, foods & bakeries. Everything is awesome. There are outdoor & indoor seating. Pretty great area for chilling & talking with friends. Service is awesome Happy our available on weekdays. Pretty good read more
I stopped by and grabbed two cakes, one was tres leches and the other was pistachio and ricotta. Both were good, not the best tres leches cake I had but it was okay. It has a nice seating area outside, easy to find the cafe. Nice and quick service too. read more
Went there with a bunch of friends for a late evening grub. The place looked lively and there was a bit of a wait before we got to order our food. It was very pleasing to see them offering board games that you could enjoy while having your meals. We ordered a bunch of items namely, three Greek salads ( 1 of them was modified ), chicken and lamb souvlaki plates, salmon plate, veggie sandwich with fries , Tiramisu, Napoleon and a Carrot cake slice. The good quality could be between a 3.5 and 4 as some parts of the meat were not cooked well while the desert items were great. The lamb was a bit hard to chew on and had that smell in it that was not taken care of. Salmon plate was great and I ended up eating the side Pita bread with a couple of sauces that came along with the salmon plate. The chicken plate and the burger came out ok to good while the salads were good. Overall a great experience with great vibes all along, just that the food could have been a bit better and this would have been a 5 on 5!!! read more
Very nice place and Brewery. We sat outside as the weather was gorgeous. There was a paper taped onto the table, scan the QR code, it takes you to their app, you then order there. So we did, added a tip too, we did that twice for 4 drinks total. We had to go inside to order and pat for food, hmmmmm, ok!!!! So at this point, 3 tips given in. ok, so if we keep on ordering, then you add tip after tip. A very interesting concept. We then ordered not spicy chicken wings, they were sooooo crispy and delicious!! We had the Combo platter Appetizer, Hummus, Baba Ganoush, pita bread,klamata olives. We liked the Ganoush better than hummus. Food was great. Only a 4 Star review as I placed all of orders on an app and going in side to order my food. I did not even get tipped, lol. Ok, maybe a little from the wine. lol. Great place. read more
