I come out of my way, even though it’s far it’s worth it not your typical take out joint. Coming here it’s family oriented food. From Bobby’s table.

Me & my Family used to buy Shawarma pitas from here on Sundays to-go, but not anymore. They decreased their sizes of salad sides, Increased the price of a Shawarma pita (around $22!).<br>So, increasing the prices & decreasing the amt of food, I'll Only buy Shawarma from a Halal spot from now on, at least their prices are fair & I can get cheese in it.<br>(Pls don't explain to me; Im Catholic but I'm very well familiar with Leviticus/dietary laws)

The best of the best. Truly authentic Israeli food and atmosphere that makes you feel like you're sitting in a cafe in kiryat gat. The food is beyond delicious and we will always come back here.

Had the best restaurant experience ever at Olympia Steakhouse! The food was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend the lamb shawarma, it was incredibly flavorful, as was the fresh pita. Beyond the food, the customer service was amazing and the vibes were great for dining in. Definitely a 5-star experience all around!"

Food was so delicious and fresh, the salads were perfectly seasoned and tasted great. They were a great thing to eat while waiting for my food. The service was amazing I got my food 5 minutes after I ordered. The waiter was super nice and funny. Overall a great experience at Olympia Steakhouse.

First time here. Looked up yemenite soup.<br>Soup was delicious though not much potatoes or meat inside. My son got the chicken wings. I gotta say they should have let the chickens grow a bit more. Almost zero meat<br><br>This is ridiculous. 18 percent mandatory tip charge for party of ONE

We came on the recommendation of a friend and we were very pleased.<br><br>Ambience is casual, clean, no frills and plenty of seating. Watching the worker make the breads from scratch as you come in is a nice touch.<br><br>Staff was very friendly and courteous and took the time to explain all the different dishes.<br><br>The freshly-made laffa was a really nice treat - especially in an era when restaurants cut back on the "fresh bread basket" starter that was common only a short while ago.<br><br>For starters we ordered the Appetizer Combo which included Falafel, Moroccan cigars, Chicken (egg)roll & Kibbeh. All were 10/10, although the falafel could have used a bit more of the cilantro and other seasoning you would expect in a falafel .<br><br>Although this is a Middle-Eastern joint, and we should have gone for their specialty dishes (shawarma, kebobs, etc.) we went with burgers, schnitzel, and all the sides. The burgers hit the spot, although we would have wanted thicker patties. And the schnitzel was the best we have ever had: thin, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; fried to perfection. 10/10!<br><br>We will definitely be going back to try the Middle-Eastern dishes.

We really enjoyed eating here. It was our first time but we probably overordered. The steaks were delicious and the Schwarma was tasty. The service was quick and efficient. They even upsold my kids on a dessert.
