We came here for lunch on the new year’s Eve Saturday before 12 and we were the only customer as there were few takeouts. More people came around 1pm.

I have no idea how this restaurant has decent rating. I went and the food was horrible! My two daughters ordered a salad with chicken. How can you mess that up? Well, they figured out a way.

We came here on a weekend afternoon and ordered chicken kebab, a gyro sandwich, and baked lamb. The food was very good. The baked lamb melted in your mouth. The decor is a bit dated, and the service was a little slow at times. However, the experience was authentic and the food delicious.

The food we ordered was delicious and the service was outstanding. My husband and I would highly recommend The Olympia and cannot wait to go back ourselves.

Our favorite Greek restaurant in Lowell. We look forward to stop here every year and it has never changed, always great. We love the Tuesday chicken special and meatballs with pasta.

First time at the Olympia Restaurant. The food and service were top shelf. Marietta, our server, was very helpful in explaining the menu items and Greek wine selection. The restaurant is small, but, cozy. We’ve added the Olympia to our list of favorite restaurants in the greater Lowell area.

I grew up dating my wife and dining here close to 50 years. It is our default restaurant. That is not a derogatory term as we live in Lowell and we know what we like. We eat there probably 4-5 times per year. Wife orders baked lamb and I get the Lamb shoulder with garnish accompanied with a Gin Martini. As we are older we go early. Went there and as always it was excellent. Waitress (not server) was great . As my wife and I are older now there are wonderful leftovers for lunch.

We had a gentleman serve us last night that truly was the most efficient waiter we’ve ever experienced. We didn’t catch his name but he was the best
