There were multiple pieces of cartilage in the chicken that completely spoiled the experience.

We had a great Greek meal in a restaurant that has something that mentioned Istanbul
A little confusing but the food was awesome 👌

We came for great Turkish food, and we were very pleased with our food
We just so happened to show up when a big event was taking place
So we are not good judges of the atmosphere

Owned and operated by a Greek family. Pastry is hand made by grandma. All other food is freshly made on the spot. Modern ambient environment inside and plenty of food choices to combine many different Meditteranean flavors to satisfy anyone’s appetite!

Leaving this as a note to myself: the food is okay, but it's definitely overpriced. $5.95 for mediocre fries and a medium soda? $13.95 for a pita with some toppings? Meh. I was going to get a rice pudding, but I couldn't justify the additional $4.50.
The food was tasty, but those prices give me heartburn. Other pubs a short drive away are better bang for your buck.
The service is nothing to write home about. Dude at the counter seemed impatient when he asked me what toppings I wanted. Then he watched me eat...it was pretty uncomfortable.
The decor is super bland.
All in all, I likely won't be going back.
Edit: Love the response from the owner. "The prices are advertised. If you thought it was expensive, you could have left."
While the prices are plainly advertised, the lack of good service and the quality of the food isn't on the menu, now is it? Nor was the "young man staring at me while I eat" advertised on the menu.
The price isn't the issue. The price for what you get is. Anyway, to address the point you're making, I did leave. I'll never be back. Best of luck to you and your business. ✌️

Food was ok- lacked flavor. Had to dump Sriracha to make it taste ok. Would not go there again

normally, when I write a review, I like to build to a crescendo with how great the service is, but there’s absolutely no time for that. I walked into this place and had the absolute best service I’ve had at a restaurant in my entire life. These guys were extremely accommodating and even though it was slightly after hours, they made me an incredible meal and I can’t thank them enough!!!

Parking is tricky but food & service are excellent. Family run business and super fresh food. Next to Villanova & right off of 476. Good prices as well - huge menu, great flavor. Had a chicken gyro and naan is also very fresh.
Vegetarian options: Falafel & excellent salads
Parking: A few tight spots in front and around the building. Hard to pull out of the front spots if you have a large vehicle. Very close to road.
Kid-friendliness: Good for kids
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, adequate room and no steps

I've been coming to Nova Grill for over 10 years and it has remained the best Greek food I've eaten in all my travels.
Bowls, gyros, burgers - they are always fresh, flavorful, and generously sized for the price and quality. The restaurant itself is clean and the food is ready quick. Costas, the owner, is often behind the counter serving and is super friendly.
I always look forward to eating here and always recommend it to friends and family when they are in the area.
What a wonderful place. I have had take out twice here and both times the food was so fresh and delicious. Highly recommended. Prices seem very good for the portion.

The ingredients are always fresh. There's a wide selection of dishes. The hummus is especially awesome. The baklava is homemade and the BEST I've ever had! Be sure to try it.

The greatest gyros and service in the tri-state. Costas, the owner, has been running this business for years. Any time I try to recommend this place to anyone they either already know him or tell me what a pleasant experience they had. Have an army to feed for an event? Nova Grill has got you covered. Service with a smile, always sparkling clean, and their homemade hot sauce sauce is better than anything at the store.

Nothing like Naf-Naf/Pita chip/Cava. Toppings didn't match the typical theme, chickpeas were straight out of a can and hard as ever, and who puts ALL the topping in the bowl then the meat on top. Doesn't allow good distribution of sauce/ rice/ toppings. I actually only ate about a quarter of the bowl then trashed it. Wasted $16.
