“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!“

“I've been eating here about 5 years & just brought in an international lunch group. My food has always been delicious. I particularly enjoy their lamb, falafel, beet hummus & fatouche. My friend had some chicken that was overcooked, but didn't say anything to the chef who came out to talk to all the diners. Small & quaint.“

“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!“

“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“

“Tried the Chicken Shawarma and Fries today—both were absolutely delicious! The shawarma was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, while the fries were crispy and fresh. Everything tasted great, and the portion size was satisfying. Definitely worth trying. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The food is really good and feels very authentic casual Greek cuisine. The prices were great and the ordering was easy with a very helpful young lady assisting. We could have done without the young Spanish woman employee talking loudly on her phone on speaker sitting in a booth in the dining area, though. But other than that small thing, it was a really nice experience. One we will repeat soon.“

“Friendly service, delicious food!“

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

“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!“

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

“The food is so good and reasonably priced. Ive only ordered two things so far so cant speak for the whole menu but they were so delicious I had to come back the next 2 days and have it again 😂 also very pleased with the portion sizes/ price ratio.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
