“The food is fresh. and perfectly seasoned. I love the Greek salad with grilled shrimp. My new local greek favorite. Falafel is awesome.“

“Not only is Orzo’s food amazing but so is the staff!! Definitely a 5 star review!!“

“This is the third time I've had their food. First time dining in. Everything was great and I have only heard good things. Food is different than what I have had at other places and is fabulous.“

“First time visit today (12apr2024), out of state visitors for the day (IL), happen to be in the area. Ordered togo: Chicken Shawarma plate Beef Kafka plate Chicken Shawarma Sandwich Humus with Chicken Shawarma 4 extra peta and 2 garlic sauce While waiting, the place had a nice feel, music, etc. After a small amount of time we were offered Coffee. To those that dont know with these style of coffee it can be bitter to the normal pallet. This is a mix of coffee and tea I believe was told at this location. My SO, which was their first time trying this, is not a fan. Having tried some out of state (MI) before, it was little better than I have have in the past. VERY Hot in temp, so you will want to let cool some. The ChkShawm sandwich was good, SO didnt like as much but I enjoyed it. We both enjoyed the rest of the order, so much that my SO over eat some and was hurting. It was tempting to do the same. The Chicken was very good and juicy, not dried out like once place we tried few months ago. Rice was very good, the one plate's rice might have needed just a bit more cook time as a very small amount was still a bit al dente. Glad we ordered the extra garlic sauce as it didnt come with any of the other plates. I didnt look or ask if that was normal, some places do, others dont and we end up emptying out any garlic sauce we get anyways from places like these.We always order extra garlic and petas. We dont get over to this area much and next chance may be in 6 month or a year from now but will have this marked s a fav to revisit when in the area again! Totally plan to order from here again without a doubt!“

“My daughter and I have been meaning to try it- and it was so delicious!! The food was freshly cooked, portions were large and the taste was authentic and flavorful. Don’t miss this hidden gem on Gravois!“

“Recently, I made a wrong turn on Manchester and pulled into a strip mall to turn around, ending up in front of this restaurant by happy accident. 😊 My daughter and I both love Middle Eastern food, so we decided to give it a try. We were unaware they were still 20 minutes from opening, but the owner graciously insisted on us staying and proceeded to make us a pot of cardamom tea while we waited for the grills to heat. He was so pleasant and attentive, and the food was absolutely fantastic! One of the best dining experiences we've had in St. Louis in quite some time! Highly recommend!“

“Food had good flavor, however my initial order was missing the sauce. If you are familiar with this food, you know sauce is a must. I initially got a “ I’m sorry” but after going back and forth and mentioning what I wanted, they remade my food and I had someone go back and get it with the sauce. The pita bread was thick and soft.“

“I finally made it and really it’s worth 100 stars , The chicken salad is probably the best salad in Stl , everything about it is perfect , chicken soo good , lettuce chopped with tons of parsley, all ingredients top notch and the dressing is excellent. I had the spinach pie for dinner and it is heaven . I’ve already planned on nesting 2 sets of ppl there! Can’t wait to go back!“

“The Mediterranean Food was fantastic. I have not had good Mediterranean food in a LONG while. They started us off with the beet dip (my favorite), garlic potato dip, and black bean dip (partner’s favorite). I had a Latika Sunset cocktail which had Arak liquor in it. Never had any sort of anise based liquor, it was good. We then got kibbeh, a beef and onion seasoned dough ball, as an appetizer. I ordered Ouzi as my entree and my partner ordered Rozanna Mixed Grill. We finished with the arabic ice cream for dessert. It was wonderful. The atmosphere was gorgeous and the staff was friendly, kind, and helpful.“

“Pali grill is my favorite place to eat to lift my spirits. The decor in the restaurant is fun and beautiful, everyone working there is friendly and kind, everything on the menu is delicious (get. the. pali. sauce.). I truly can't decide if I like the chicken sandwich or the gyro more. They're both delicious. I tried the onion rings for the first time today and they were perfect. Favorite comfort food.“

“good food friendly employees“

“Fantastic dinner experience. The host was impeccable and the food was a WOW!. I recommend the sangria and carne asada, specifically. My husband loves the gin and tonic menu. Truly a special ambiance and menu. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing food! Authentic! Super friendly! Simply one of the kind! You never would be dissatisfied nor disappointed!“

“Pan's fine dining, and elegant ambiance keep us coming back, year after year!♥️🥰♥️“

“The Smashburger guys that had the pop up spot was exactly what the food court needed. Why does 1 food court need 3 places that serve the same food and 2 others only sell chicken. WHERES THE BEEF? I have worked at this mall for 3 years. I bring my lunch when I can but I mostly just grab something from the food court. I believe the food court needs to have more variety.“

“Koya and the crew were simply amazing. Such a great locations lots of parking. The food took between 7 to 10 minutes. Going back to Koya we loved her personality she is just such a sweet welcoming presence. Very courteous and attentive 💕“

“Ate at the new O’Fallon location tonight. Service was awesome! Food was really, really good! Definitely highly recommend 👍“

“Right down the street from my house and one of my main go tos. The food is always awesome. Love the gyros, wings and shawarma. Staff/owners are great people. Can’t recommend those place enough!“

“We came as a large group and were immediately impressed with everything ! The staff made sure we were all taken care of and made to feel very special. We had a great time listening to our server tell us about the different menu items and how they were prepared. You could feel the pride he had in Cafe Nova. He made the whole evening a fun experience, and even volunteered to take several group photos. The food was superb, the appetizers were excellent, the coffees and other drinks were all exceptional ! We all highly recommend trying this fantastic restaurant.“

“Friendly service, delicious food!“

“Best chicken shawarma in the area by far. The sauces are delicious and the fries are seasoned with the perfect blend of spices that bring them to life. Great, fast service too!“

“Amazing food , the most authentic in the USA by far! Always fresh and juicy!“

“Wonderful spanakopita made from fresh ingredients. I went into the shop two days before Easter to order a pan of spanakopita for Easter dinner. I didn't get the worker's name, but he carefully detailed my wishes back to me. I paid in cash and didn't realize until after I drove away that I didn't have any sort of receipt or proof; but when I returned to pick up the order he recognized me and produced the food. It was seriously delicious, and the leftovers were still flaky and flavorful a couple days later.“

“Wow, such a beautiful church! If you visit, you should really take the time for the church tour. It's breathtaking. The food is authentic and delicious, and so are the baked goods. The dancers are so fun to watch, and the music is great. Also wanted to mention that there is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.“

“If I could bottle the feeling of joy that comes from an unforgettable meal and serve it to the world, it would taste exactly like Olympia Kebob House & Taverna. Nestled on McCausland in the heart of St. Louis, Olympia is more than just a Greek restaurant,it’s an experience, a destination, and for those of us lucky enough to know it, a weekly ritual. From the moment you walk in, something shifts. You’re no longer in Missouri. The aromas, the laughter, the ambiance, they transport you to a lively taverna in the hills of Athens. And then the food arrives. We started with the Taverna Potato Peels (crispy, golden, addictive). Add a side of Tzatziki, and you’re in trouble (the best kind). Honestly, just go ahead and order extra Tzatziki. You’ll want it with everything. You’ll want it by the spoonful. You’ll wonder how a yogurt-based sauce can make you this emotional. Then came the Gyro Deluxe, a masterpiece of flavor, texture, and satisfaction. It doesn’t just set the bar, it is the bar. The Deluxe Chicken Shish Kebob Platter followed, with juicy, perfectly charred meat and a balance of herbs and seasoning that would impress even the most traditional Greek yiayia. On the side? Spanakorizo… a Greek spinach rice dish that sounds simple but hits with soul. Every bite was warm, fragrant, and comforting in the way that only true home-cooked food can be. And just when we thought we couldn’t be impressed further: Chocolate Bak-Lava. Rich. Decadent. Crisp. Sublime. I’ve traveled. I’ve eaten Greek food in several cities. And yet somehow, nothing prepared me for Olympia. That first time I ate there, I found myself shaking my head after nearly every bite, not because anything was wrong, but because I could never had been prepared for this experience. And the service? As stellar as the food. The staff is genuine, warm, and clearly proud to be part of something this special. They treat you like family, but more importantly, they seem to mean it. If we lived closer, we’d be there twice a day. As it is, we’re still making the trip once or twice a week without fail. That’s how good Olympia is. It’s not just a restaurant. It’s a place that makes you feel thankful, thankful for the food, the people, and the joy of discovering a place that just gets it all so right. Olympia, thank you for what you do. You’ve earned every word of this. THANK YOU!“

“The best restaurant , amazing delicious food and adorable customer’s service. I love the environment of this amazing place it’s so cozy and friendly.“
