I enjoyed the food here, overall some good stuff on the menu. The ambience is pretty chill, in an open space. Service was on point. 10/10 would recommend.

Cute little spot in a very busy market! I've been searching for a Greek restaurant that makes a perfect Greek salad...I fear that I may need to continue searching. The thing that brings a Greek salad together is the dressing and it seems that their dressing is closer to Italian rather than Greek. Food was prepared quickly in a chaotic environment. For the price, this salad is good- just not super authentic!

I just love this place so much. Very unassuming and Reading Terminal has so many great choices, but this has become my go to spot. Very consistent, with some of the best service (you can still get free soda refills here!), And sitting at the counter you see and feel the hustle and bustle of people at RTM. Very pleasant ambiance. As for the food, the lamb is good but and the gyro combo (sandwich, fries and a soda) is a solid deal, but I almost always go for the chicken gyro platter. I just love the freshness and crispness of the side Greek salad. And the chicken gyro is so hot and juicy and right off the grill, you can still see the food waves coming off it. And that teziki sauce, heavenly. Do attend. and maybe grab a beer, they have that now!

I come here weekly for a chicken caesar souvlaki. It's made fast, hot, and so flavorful. It's a great place to sit down in the hustle and bustle of Reading Terminal Market.

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.

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!

Food - delicious and hot Service - friendly and relatively quick Ambience - 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!

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!
