1st time, found great reviews, gotta try! I was not expecting an assembly line looking order area. It's not fancy dining. The parking if difficult. Looks can be deceiving! The meals/dishes are, for the most part, cooked/made fresh, per order. Fresh, delicious, huge menu selections, including some burritos & quesadillas. Yes, if back in area, definitely will revisit. read more

This is such a reliable Mediterranean restaurant. Always delicious and generous portions. Better for takeout as indoors has no ambience. Wonderful service and also very reasonably priced. read more

Love the egg lemon soup, it's the only thing I've had so far. I will try more things- so addicted to this soup!

This Mediterranean place is excellent! Lots of choices on the menu, fast service, & the food is delicious & authentic tasting. The inside is set up like a chipotle where you can go down the line & customize your food with your choice of fixings & they have quite the variety. Very busy place at lunchtime & the parking isn't the most convenient, but other then that a must try. read more

First time trying this place, ordered off DoorDash app. I wanted a Greek salad with chicken added, they sent me a chicken bowl that had rice, a few pieces of lettuce and some chicken with sauce. So I'm not happy about it, but I still ate it because I hate wasting money. But I won't order from here again! read more

It felt like forever since I'd had good Greek food, and this place scratched an itch I hadn't realized was so strong. The gyro was exactly what I wanted, my wife enjoyed the cheesesteak served in a wrap, and the fries were exactly what we needed to round out the meal. We also didn't have to wait long. Very impressive for a place that caters to college students (my wife and I are not). read more

Delicious! Absolutely fantastic and fast service! Got lucky and came across this place by accident, couldn't be happier

We love this spot! Fresh food and friendly faces. The Kofta is my favorite but they have a plethora of dishes to choose from. The owner always makes us feel welcomed and knows our order when we enter his establishment. read more

Good food with fair pricing. Order at the counter. Family run. Pleasant service. Ambiance is lacking.

Absolutely amazing burgers, gyros, and pastries. My kids love the burgers they shoveled all the snow and cleared all the cars once I promised them burgers from nova grill. And we live at least 10 miles away. More than just great flavor, texture, and presentation of the food but also great customer service. The pastries are almost dry particularly baklava and the one with the white powdered sugar. Also the boardwalk style fries are awesome. Thank you for being open during this challenging times. read more

We shared a steak and lamb Gyro in a spinach herb wrap. It arrived loaded with meat! Lettuce, tomato, onions, tzatziki sauce. This grill is easily accessible from 476 heading into the vicinity of Villanova. There are so many options from which to choice. For example, gyros in white bread, wheat, multigrain pita or tortilla wrap. Choose meat e.g. chicken, pork, steak, lamb, vegetarian, etc. Add cheese such as feta if you wish. Salad choices abound, too. Great variety of sides, desserts, and beverages. Wow!! Busy place, good service, quality food, large portions, reasonable price. Check out this little gem of a restaurant! read more

I love this place! Great food and friendly service. And you can't beat the location. My daughter and I go there at least once a week.

This place is amazing. To be a college local place, as a vegetarian I was so happy to find this place! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful and just wonderful. I will go back every time I am in town! read more

Delicious food at an excellent price. Great vegetarian and paleo options. Friendly owner. I could eat here 4 days a week.

Excellent Mediterranean food! Loved the catwalk and lamb gyro plate and the Greek salad. Easy for eat in or take out. Glad we found this on Yelp and could stop in while on vacation. read more

Still loving Nova Grill! My latest fave is the cheese quesdadillas - lots of yummy cheese, and grilled onion and tomatoes. They come with tzatziki sauce and some kind of salsa/tomatoes and onion mixture and a little bit of romaine. Soo good!!! read more

I went back to Nova and ordered the Yia-Yia Fries. I don't know who this Yia-Yia is, but I'm convinced that she is the greatest human being that ever lived. Fresh skin-on fries with big hunks of feta, sweet caramelized onions and rosemary. These are the best fries I have ever eaten. Yes - better than Animal-Style fries from In-N-Out (fries so delicious, I blogged about them and beseeched the company to expand to the East coast. Better than Crab Fries from Chickie and Pete's...and every Phillies fan knows there's nothing better than a warm summer afternoon, Chooch on the field, a cold beer and a bucket of crab fries. I want Nova to cater the existence of the entire country. Their food is delicious and fresh, the service is exemplary and everyone deserves something this delicious in their lives. read more

Nova Mediterranean Grill is an airy, inviting space near Villanova University. The format is similar to Chipotle- food ( mainly bowls and wraps) is custom made. Sauces and side salads are very good. Meats are disappointing- they have rotating gyro grills but they are not in use and the meat is in chunks, not slices - a bit tough and dry, and hard to eat. I'd return to try the kofta and falafel in place of the meat. read more

I've ordered a few times now and I think the food is delicious and authentic!! We also tried the fries and so good too! If I had to make any suggestions it's to give pita bread if you order hummus. We got it one time, but then never did again read more

Knowledgable staff, fast service and great seitan wraps. I recommend this to anyone in the area. read more

Why did I cross the road?? To eat some delicious chicken at Nova Grill for dinner. A business of love! My boyfriend always chats with the owner who is a very nice guy. The food here is very good and maintains a delicious homemade esthetic. It's Chipotle-like in that you stand in line and work with the person behind the counter to make yourself a bowl. Fill it up with all sorts of meats, sauces, sides. They offer sausage, and big spits of chicken and beef. The atmosphere is casual but nice, and always clean. Nice floors, nice finishes, a place for recycling, and they have imported soft drinks. Citrus flavored sanpellegrino, aloe water, and others. Parking is tricky as there's only a handful of spots out front and out back. Everything is very delicious and worth waiting in traffic to cross the road! read more

I moved to Wayne on Monday. Had Nova for lunch and dinner on Monday! Tuesday for lunch and today for lunch. I can't get enough of this place! It's amazing how fresh and tasty their food is! even with the delivery their loaded fries with feta and grilled onions are always hot! Owner Kostas (I hope i spelled it right) is a sweetheart! I love this place so much! needles to say I'll be back! read more

I had the large lamb gyro. The pita, lamb, and vegetables were all fresh and wasn't sloppily put together. I was at Bryn Mawr College and fell into this gem. This was def one of the best gyros I have ever had. read more

Yum yum yum!! This is an excellent lunch choice. The food is fresh, simple & good!! I had the falafel bowl & salmon Caesar, both very good but I'll admit needed a bit more seasoning. I looooove a good falafel and while this wasn't the best ever it was good. The rice was cooked perfectly & the salmon in the salad was very fresh. Super yummy hummus and delicious pita bread. This place is solid, I would certainly order again. read more

My friends and I got delivery out of laziness and they were quick to find her impossible to find place. We spilt the Classic Chicken Gyro Sandwich and the Spanakopita Plate. The Spanakopita Plate came with a Greek Salad, but no pita bread. All of the food was delicious and felt healthy. They exceeded my expectations because it is more than a typical college restaurant. There are so many plates I want to try on the menu, so I will come back, but this time I'll eat in. read more

Nova Mediterranean Grill - Spanakopita with Greek Salad Plate. - Mediterranean Near Me - Villanova, Pennsylvania

Had high hopes for this place. It's inexpensive for a solid quantity of food. However, the chicken in the chicken gyro plate was raw. And the lemon chicken soup was as bland as can be. Won't be returning. I can overlook blandness maybe but not raw chicken. read more

This place is great. Always enjoy my food from here and at a decent price. They have a massive secret though: their seitan might be the best I've ever had. They could shut down the restaurant and just mass produce that for Whole Foods and make lots and lots of money. Give it a try before they wise up to that. It's somehow...fluffy? and yet also delicious. Vegans and vegetarians check it out. read more

Pretty close to I-476, this place is great as a travelers' lunch stop. Situated in a small strip plaza that hugs a major road, parking is a challenge, but well worth the effort. Don't be fooled by the setup of placing an order at the counter; even though it's scaled to resemble fast food, it's pretty decent Mediterranean fare. The menu isn't as descriptive as I prefer, so I had to ask what a "locanico plate" was -- turns out it's a tasty, rich-flavored Greek sausage, so I went for it. It came with sides of tasty rice pilaf, tomato-cucumber salad, choice of pita (multigrain for me), and a sauce (try the eggplant!). I also got a cup of the egg-lemon chicken soup (similar to avgolemeno). For my dessert, I tried a rather nice "Greek butter cookie" (didn't catch the official name, but it was good). There is an entire case of tasty desserts to peruse! The atmosphere is light, casual, and the place seems to be popular with college students and young professionals, as well as people my age. I was impressed with the place's commitment to preserving the environment by offering bins for trash, recycling, and compost. read more

The best Mediterranean! Always consistently delicious. Falafel and seitan are great options for vegetarians

Nova Mediterranean Grill is a fast casual place, similar to Chipotle's ordering style. We chose to eat in and service was a little meh. My tendency to be anxious when visiting a new place did not get better when I placed my order and got silence, until I chose to blurt out which meat I wanted to order. The chicken gyro bowls we got were decent although the rice was a little hard -- a few more moments cooking would have helped. Perhaps a great choice for Villanova students because they do a decent job. But if you really want great Mediterranean food, you could definitely look around for better choices. read more

This place is great! You can order as is or customize your lunch/dinner. They have gyros, wraps, burritos, and bowls. You pick your protein and whatever veggies and grains you want, and then the whole thing is topped off with tahini or tzatziki. Lots of different choices so the menu doesn't get old quick. Plus they keep it interesting with the mediterranean choices to add such as a while bean salad, tabouli, and mediterranean coleslaw. If you are looking for a quick healthy lunch stop here. read more

Great food and great service. I like getting the lamb and steak burrito. It's nice to see the food is cooked fresh when you order.

Best Mediterranean chicken bowls ever!! Lot of tasty, healthy ingredients and very nice family running the place! We're officially addicted!! read more

Best Gyros, Burritos & Baklava on the Main Line. The owner, Costas, his mom & daughter are authentic & nice. The food is home made & fresh.

A five-star review for delivery is rare. Super rare. But this place is amazing and I can't wait to order again! I can tell this is going to be my new go-to delivery option. There's a wide variety of fresh and reasonably healthy options, plenty of veggies, and they delivered SO FAST. Granted, I'm only about a mile from them, but it seriously only took about 20 minutes to receive our food. I got the steak and lamb plate and he got the kofte plate. The meat was excellent, very well-seasoned and not too salty. Rice pilaf was delish, pita was good and served under the meat so it stayed warm and soaked up the delicious meat juices, and the cucumber and tomato salad on the side was a very light and refreshing addition. I got the greek vinaigrette as my sauce and it was really delicious. I made little greek tacos with the pita, meat, and salad and they were amazing. I couldn't have wanted a single thing to be different. F ate his kofte before I could try it but he was pleased as well. Can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

I was excited when I found out that Nova Grill serves Mediterranean food. I rode by this place a zillion times and figured they served cheap college food. It is adjacent to Villanova University's main campus. Well, half of my assessment was correct...it is relatively cheap. They offer sandwiches, salads, plates, and soups. I love Soulvaki! I could not pass up the opportunity build my own sandwich. I decided to go with the fire roasted chicken, on white pita. They offer a vast variety of fresh toppings. I went with cucumber and tomato salad, Kalamata olives, roasted peppers, harissa, and tzatzaki sauce. My sandwich was delicious! They pack a good amount of meat on the sandwich...which is a plus. The only negative was the fact the person who made my sandwich was not wearing gloves. That is one of my pet peeves. But that did not discourage me from chowing down. read more

The food was fresh and delicious! There is a huge variety of items on their menu. Ordered chicken gyros, yiayia's fries, spanakopita egg rolls and roasted veggies. Everything was perfection. The owner was very kind and took great care preparing each dish. Will definitely be back again!! read more

Delivery was fast and accurate. Food arrived warm and was great. The food was a little bland for my preference but it was overall good and good quality. read more
