Middle Eastern Restaurants near Creve Coeur, MO

“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!“

“If you are like casual atmosphere of Mediterranean cuisine and its taste - this is the place for you. Plenty of parking as they are located on large plaza. Small space inside and few tables outside. They offer to go food as well. Tandoori chicken with salad was prepared well and variety of sauces add flavor. Bureki is unique to Europe and Asia - they offer them with meat, cheese and potatoes. But It is courtesy of the owner and taste of the food that stands out. Pita + really reminded the place that you find during travels in the new city that only locals know. So locals or guest of the city - I recommend trying food here.“

“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!“

“Excellent food. If you order a meat dish serving are generous. My vegetarian platter however was small and didn't come with pita. I essentially had a plate of dips with one falafel, one small stuffed grape leaf and a few potatoes. While it was very good I left hungry.“

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

“This place is incredible. Uma and her staff are so sweet, and the food is OUTSTANDING and incredibly delicious. Do not sleep on this spot! The Eggplant Bandinjan is phenomenal and so tender, with a pinch of yogurt and mince to finish it off and brighten the dish. The mantu, tender dumpling stuffed with ground seasoned beef, carrot, and onion, topped with yellow lentils, yogurt sauce and mint and parsley… Words cannot describe the culinary experience. The chicken kebab is by far, and hands-down, the best kebab I have had in St. Louis. It is robustly seasoned to perfection, grilled to perfection, succulent, tender and juicy. I have also had the tikka masala, lamb kabob, and beef kabob- all are excellent. Don’t forget dessert!“

“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!“

“This is pretty much the only kind of bread of any kind that I eat anymore! This is the kind of Syrian bread my neighbor had when I was a kid. Nothing you can get in a supermarket (other than this, which I get I Dierberg's) even comes close!“
