A very pleasant surprise! We were hungry for burgers and fries; this was the closest place we could find to the hotel. We had a bit of trepidation - ordering burgers at a Greek restaurant? - but they were excellent. Juicy, perfectly cooked. The first could have used a bit more snap and the Greek salad a better grade of lettuce and feta, but that was a small price to pay given how delicious the burgers were.
Friendly atmosphere, prompt service, cold draft beer, and lots of choices for good Greek food were all five star. But I had to take one star back for the food being under seasoned. Ever since I first had moussaka at Diana’s in Chicago many years ago, I seek out Greek restaurants in any city we visit. Olympia’s moussaka had all the ingredients - sliced potatoes and eggplant covered by a layer ground meat and topped with bechamel sauce - except the key seasonings of garlic and cinnamon. My wife’s falafel salad was also good, but missing the key seasoning of cumin. But we would still go back, and you should try it, too.
Ate here with my wife and daughter tonight. Easy to find, just south of Highway 64 at McCausland, with 2 parking lots across the street. Nice casual decor. Service was fine, considering the day we were there. Spanakopita was excellent, and the kebobs were very good (if you want vegetables with your kebobs, get the deluxe kebobs). Hummus was a nice appetizer, but they should have a spoon on the plate when it arrives, that would help with serving it. Prices were reasonable. Overall, a pleasant experience and worth repeating!
It was so good, Gyro Salad w/extra Gryo meat (tender & tasty blame) perfect dressing, Vegetarian platter is taste bud satisfying, they were busy but it's the best service we have had there in awhile. The industry is so hurting for more staff. ? The ones working are working hard. thank you
The food was great! I got the falafel sandwich (awesome vegetarian option, and thankfully not the only one) it was HUGE and sooo delicious. I wish they had any other type of fries than steak though - not much flavor there. They've got a fully stocked bar, service was quick and courteous. Would recommend
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was really good. My feta burger was perfect, just the way I like it. My wife enjoyed her stuffed tomato and stuffed pepper.
I have been going to this restaurant for many years and have never been disappointed with the exception of our last visit about a month ago. Saganaki was burnt, lamb requested medium rare was completely done, they were out of pepperoncinis, the place was freezing and when an older couple asked to close the front door, the waitress refused and told them she couldn’t. I’m hoping it was just one bad night out of over a decade of delicious food and great service and not a sign of things to come. I will return to Olympia to give them another chance!
This place was so good! We had the stuffed grape leafs, hummus, gyro, and souvlaki and it was all amazing and fresh and flavourful!! Highly recommended!
Olympia Kebob House is a neighborhood restaurant with an emphasis on neighborhood! You'll feel like one of the family as soon as you walk through the door.Friendly owner, fantastic bartender (funny, makes custom drinks) great evening atmosphere and wait staff.Started doing a college night happy hour with a late night menu...Pssst... order the Lamb sliders!Check it out if you want a real neighbourhood experience or want a cool college happy hour on Thursdays, Fridays, and Mondays!
Food was decent. Ambiance on a weekday evening was not great (bright, cold by the door, server was doing her best but was covering too many tables). I would think of this more as a lunch spot than a dinner spot.
