Olympia Gyro

Busy counter style seating. Friendly waitress who also speaks Spanish. You can watch them prepare your meal in front of you. Meal was out in less than ten minutes after order placed.Gyro platter ($13.50) was delicious with tzatziki sauce, it was thick and chunky. Greek salad was also tasty but had brown lettuce throughout. The chicken slouvaki platter ($16,50) was okay. Lamb was tasty but chicken was off. Greek salad on this one also had brown lettuce throughout.

Unless you want to breathe down someone's neck waiting for them to vacate, getting a table in the Reading Market at lunchtime is an exercise in perseverance .... which I didn't have.So we ate at Olympia because there was seating. (As I type, I realize how dopey this sounds.) Anyway, their gyros are good. Not necessarily the best I've had -- a little under-seasoned and dry -- but fine.In keeping with our usual strategy, my husband and I ordered one sandwich and one platter. We share the salad and a drink. And it's always plenty.

Really delicious salmon salad. Salmon was cooked perfectly and everything was fresh.Food came out really fast. I sat at the counter and watched other people's food come out. I left wishing I had gotten a gyro. Next time!

Located in Reading Terminal, Olympia Gyro is a pretty solid grab and go for lunch. If you chose to stay, the restaurant does have bar-/diner-style seating and a small dining area. Overall, I thought the staff was pretty friendly, and the food was quickly prepared and served hot. My fried chicken gyro was great because it was crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside. I was somewhat disappointed that the fries did not have any salt, but who needs extra sodium. For me, the prices were fine compared to other gyro stands that I have frequented in NYC. While I would not go out of my way to get visiting Reading Terminal, Olympia Gyro is a great option when a gyro craving hits you.

Food - delicious and hot Service - friendly and relatively quickAmbience - walk up dining with some bar seating around the booth.There is limited seating if you can grab a stool, if not mosey on over to the common area toward the center. This is was one of my favorite places in Philadelphia with good service and food and is located in Reading Terminal Market!

FOODSolid grab-and-go or diner-style place for lunch or dinner! I had their chicken souvlaki sandwich ($11.50) and fries ($4.00), and both were filling and delicious. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the tzatziki creamy and crunchy with the onions and tomatoes, and the flatbread was just the right amount of thickness. The fries were standard-- had a great crisp and paired well with the sandwich.SERVICEThe staff are kind and friendly. Orders come in and out very quickly.AMBIANCELocated in Reading Terminal, the place is always bustling with visitors. There's some seating around the stand (diner-style) but can get full quickly.PARKINGParking garages are located nearby at varying fees/rates.

Great food. Service is good also. Had the gyro and the gyro platter. Both were flavorful and filling. I wish I had looked at the menu closer as I thought I was order the gyro, but it was a platter with the meat and the pita cut in four, and the salad, but like I said, that was my error. But the platter was delicious nonetheless. Excellent. Took home order of grape leaves and baklava cheesecake! Lots of counter space to sit.

Stopped by Reading Terminal Market for a quick lunch mid-jury-duty: I'd been craving a gyro, so I wove my way through RTM for Olympia Gyro. Happily, there was a gyro special on the menu and a seat at the counter--a perfect spot amidst the hustle and bustle to people watch (and also wish you could order more things from the menu, as everything being ordered looked tasty)!Service was friendly and swift, the gyro (with everything, e.g., tzatziki, onions, tomatoes) was well-seasoned with pillowy pita bread and the fries were crispy and piping hot (I added the pepper shown). Would definitely return!

Delicious gyro. I asked for extra tzatziki on the side but didn't get it. Not sure if this is the usual amount or if they put my extra sauce right on there but it was great The spanakopita was literally soggy. I took it home with me and baked it again so that it was crispy and then it was perfect.

Stopped by the Reading Terminal market for a quick lunch and despite long lines at most of the deli counters, noticed this place had a few empty seats. Without any prices posted anywhere, I went ahead and ordered their Beef and Lamb Gyro platter, which includes fries and a large soda. I'd been craving a good gyro for some time, so I was very happy to get it in less than three minutes. While it wasn't one of the best I've ever had, it was above average (the pita was a bit dried out). The standout attraction was the large portion of fries, which were really superb: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and very flavorful. So I had no problem when I received the check and learned that it cost $20. Seems high for a Gyro but considering it came with a box of fries, it seemed worth it.
