Amazing food and service! I started coming here with my family often. The meat is nice and cooked. The salads are delicious and they have a variety of wines. This would be a perfect place for a date. You need to come here to see what I'm talking about.

We loved everything we had at Olympic cafe. The staff, especially the manager, were accommodating and friendly. Our dining experience exceeded expectations. We shared a super Greek combo, which was a great size for 2. The dolmadakia and pork souvlaki were great starters. The saganaki cheese plate was so good - opa! We will recommend this, and look forward to coming again next time we're in San Diego.

The nicest restaurant in North Park! No doubt this restaurant has one of the best Greek cuisine in SD, I loved the dish I had and so did my boyfriend (who says that it is his favourite restaurant in San Diego). The meat was so tender that melt in my mouth, the potatoes was flavourful and well cooked. I had a piece cheesecake that was definitely my favourite from the other places that I have been. Our server (tall and gentle girl that I don't know her name - Pardon me) provided an excelente service -hight quality- and helped us to find the best choice. The atmosphere is nice, cozy and pretty! I love the yellow lights! I would definitely recommend this place for all those who love exploring new flavors and tastes!

My fiancée has been eating here for years and it’s her favorite Greek place to eat. When I went with her for the first time, I was going through the menu and saw BBQ ribs. Yes, ribs at a Greek place?! Literally what I told myself. However, I was craving some ribs anyways so I gave them a shot, man, and I’m glad I did that. I can honestly and truthfully say (I’m very picky on all food) these are the best ribs in SD and some of the absolute best ribs I’ve ever had. Fall off the bone tender melt in your mouth meat, super tasty BBQ sauce, so good I order 2 plates to myself! The service is always home feeling friendly and everything we’ve ordered, from ribs, to Gyro plates, to the salad is all AMAZING. Hats off to Olympic for really setting a standard for good food! (Picture doesn’t do it justice, I had already devoured one rib and a half 😂)

Got their platter, and it got the most tender beef skewer I ever had on it! Very generous portions, and it's even healthy.

You love Greek food. This is the spot. They moved from their old location. The Gyros was tasty fast clean and friendly service. They got pretty busy while we were there for lunch. Apparently, the hamburgers are great. Check it out...

A neighborhood institution — it used to be in a nearby strip center, but now has a great space with lots of patio seating, and great service. I had the Greek salad & soup with pita for lunch - delicious and fantastic brewed ice tea. Highly recommended.

I wanted to update my review from 3 years ago! I just had my baby shower catered by this wonderful restaurant. If you need catering from anywhere please order from here!! Nikolas was so kind and helpful with quotes and also allowing me enough time to get through my planning situation . Every single person all 70+ RAVED about the food. The portions were incredibly generous and we even had some not a ton left over because everyone ate so much of it! The food was hot, fresh and you can tell prepared with care. I've been coming here for years and just can't thank you guys enough for providing another great experience not only for me and my pregnancy cravings but my family and friends. It's safe to say you have definitely got my guests on your way. Thank you so so much can't wait to come back for lunch!! I loved that they moved to a bigger location! The food is bountiful and delicious and the service and people are so nice! Price points are great for food portions and well food duh!!! Love this place!!
