I came here pre-pandemic on a trip to New York with my friends. There were 10 of us. We had just spent the day exploring Coney Island and we were starving. We ended up at Olympia Pita (formerly Olympic Pita) and it was just perfect. They were able to accommodate the large group just fine. Portions were very generous. It was a nice, casual environment. Everyone got laffa bread sandwiches. They are apparently known for their laffa bread. Most of the group got shawarma (every single one of the 8 guys). I lean more vegetarian so I got the falafel wrap. However, everyone who got the shawarma was raving about it so much that I am going to say that the shawarma is THE thing to order when you visit. The vegetarian options were slim. However, the vegetarian falafel wrap is delicious! Olympia Pita is a kosher (meat) Mediterranean restaurant. They also have soup on the menu which is unique for this type of restaurant but I love that it is an option. They serve Snapple, soda, and juice to drink. And, according to their website, they offer delivery and catering as well. If I'm in this area again, I wouldn't hesitate to return to Olympia Pita! read more

Always prefer Olympia Pita . Very good food high quality. Fast and easy Service . I just wished the seating was a

Very Good Food! Came here with my wife and friends to eat before going to a show. We got Shawarma in the plate, shish kebabs and chicken schnitzel. The plates come with so many sides, from humus to eggplant salad, to rice and beans, insane hot and fresh home made lafa pita and more! The abundance of food and flavors were unbelievable. I left this restaurant more than satisfied..., I was exploding lol. Will definitely come back here. read more

My husband and I ordered dinner from Olympic pita. We ordered shish kebab which was small pieces of meat cubed, it was a very skimpy portion. Meat wasn't soft had to chew very well. It came with an Israeli salad that had no dressing on it. Overpriced at $35 We will not be ordering from there again. read more

Ordered a shawrma wrap* and came very very very soggy and mushy and not even wrapped just falling apart right off the bat* asked for some more anba sauce and got literally 1* and didn't taste good at allllll***** Do not order delivery from this place* only pick up or DINE IN* Otherwise food is not fresh and you don't get everything asked for* read more

There was a problem with my order, but they resent it, and that's very honorable. Very happy

Came here yesterday for a quick lunch. Ordered the falafel sandwich on pita with tons of toppings: pickled red onion, cucumber, tomato, hot sauce, hummus, hot pickled peppers etc. Waited nearly 10 minutes for sandwich. Here's the breakdown: Pita- nice, fluffy, soft. Falafel- crunchy exterior soft interior but not mushy, a beige color, quite salty but there were like 5 or 6 in my sandwich so not bad Hummus- creamy and cooling Hot sauce- hot, really good almost burned my mouth kind of good Veggies- crispy, but also salty cause pickles, so overall mouthfeel was super salty I've had better falafel elsewhere and this sandwich left more to be desired. read more

What a horrible experience. When we entered and supplied our Covid Vaccine information to the manager he told us we didn't need it, despite being the law here! The seating area was dirty, there were big pots of soaking beans left on the floor where young children were running around. We were going to leave when seeing this , but cautiously stayed. It was so blatant how we were discriminated against when it took the server over 30 minutes to take our order. Other patrons were being addressed in a friendly and swift manner. Perhaps because they were religious Jews as evidenced by yarmulkas and conservative attire. Food was average, very overpriced. A falafel sandwich with a salad after tax was over $20!!!!! Save your money, dignity and go elsewhere. read more

Olympic Pita place is a gem. Everything I got here was really good all around. The shwarma was very tasty and moist, without being too fatty or greasy. By far, they have the best falafel I've ever eaten, and the fact that they are bite sized was nice. The salad bar is great too, they have a lot more choices then I've seen in other places. It's also nice that they will put hummus and anything from the salad bar in your schwarma without charging you extra. That said, I've had better hummus. It's not bad, it's just not the best. Also, the pita and laffa seemed to be on the chewy side. I don't know if that's the way it always is or just the way I got it that one time. Regardless of those minor details, the food was so good, and the portions were so large, that I will gladly make this is my new falafel/schwarma place. Oh yeah, and just to reiterate, just in case you're still thinking about parking there--don't. Take the Q train or the B68, you'll be happy you did. read more

Olympia Pita - Yummy falafel! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is busy busy busy It's a very casual style and very kid friendly So be mindful if you like silence and don't like families. It's clean and there is wait service The wait service is running around since it's so busy.. So you won't get too much personal attention and will most likely have to wave down the waiter for everything. They have a nice variety on their menu with middle eastern classics like hummus, babganoush, falafel and various nosh. The meat was well prepared, but pricey, I guess since its kosher The falafel was yummy and so was the babaganoush, cabbage salads, and tahini sauce The shawarma with two sides was $25 The flavors were simple, home style food. read more

Olympia Pita - The Shuwarma bar - Middle Eastern Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I hadn't been here in years so decided to see how their shawarma was. The salad bar was clean, fresh, and well stocked. Shawarma wrap for $17 comes with a decent container for salad. Also, this place bakes their own wraps, and the taste is incredible. That's where the taste ends. The shawarma, while fresh, had the consistency and taste of boiled dark chicken. There was barely any flavor, maybe just a hint of salt. Whoever is marinating the chicken overnight is doing a horrible job, and this is one of their "signature" items. I'll come back in 5 years again to see if things have changed. read more

I'm not much for kosher food and we're vegetarian. While my 6-year-old wanted Chinese, that doesn't exist in this Midwood neighborhood unless you go all the way over to Nostrand. We were super-hungry and didn't feel like traveling. This looked good and fit the bill so we split pea soup, falafel balls, french fries, and plenty of their first-rate pita bread. Bill came to $19.60 plus mandatory 15% tip. Everything was fresh and filling, and the service was good. It reminded me of the restaurants my family and I visited in Israel. I wouldn't rush back, but for vegetarians it's a great , affordable option in a neighborhood not known for variety. read more

So moving to Brooklyn from long island I was super excited to try some of the worlds most diverse and delicious foods! That was before Olympic pita... the food is insanely priced. How you ask? we ordered two chicken gyros off the menu and got charged $48... WTFFFFF! I could've had way better food with actual flavor and by flavor I mean they used salt pepper and maybe some vinegar. Holy cannoli this place is god awful. I get it if you have dietary limitations but I can't imagine that place being ranked decent in Brooklyn. I've definitely had better and I'm still annoyed I paid so much for such food. read more

I was here for a SheVa Bracha (Jewish party after a wedding) and the food was spectacular! First of all, they loaded us up with hummus and house made pita!! Lots of babaganush and purple and green coleslaw!! They had a lot of courses with lots of delicious food and drinks. Overall, I had a great time! read more

My friend and I order Beef Shish, one skewer each and shared 2-sides. The beef pieces were tiny, difficult to chew and overdone. Difficult to remove from the skewer. We were not offered any of the complimentary salads. I felt like we were bothering them. Over priced, stingy and inefficient. I doubt I will return read more

I picked up some shawarma from here the other night. It wasn't my first time either. Every time I touch their food I spend the next day singing the old Pepto Bismol jingle while chugging down the bottle. Other people I know have come out just fine, but eat at your own risk. read more

I had excellent service and the salad bar was great. However, very expensive. $80 for repo friends for lunch. The newest want great (dry and tasteless). Mostly the price was just insane for what I received. read more

Great place. Very clean, the salad bar is not your typical salad bar but filled with carrots and hot peppers, hummus, etc. I wanted a rib steak, but they were all out. I ordered the beef steak instead which was excellent. The food on the salad bar was at the proper temp and nice. read more

Eh. Too expensive for what it is if you ask me. I was sick one evening and hungry and thought a chicken kebab would be a good idea. I ordered delivery from this place. For $20 and almost an hour wait I received the following 5 little scrawny pieces of chicken breast 2 tasteless pitas some cold droopy french fries a container with coleslaw, israeli salad, and fried eggplant a can of diet coke RIPOFF The chicken was tasty, but it wasn't even a half a chicken breast in there! Seriously. And the fries were absolutely nasty. I guess that's to be expected for delivery fries, but still. The fried eggplant and coleslaw were good too, but not good enough to justify the pricetag. Ridiculous. read more

Service was good food was fresh and hot. Plenty of choices. And it has an A. Satisfied.

My favorite falafel/shwarma pitas in Brooklyn. The falafels are just crispy enough, the shwarma meat just fatty enough, but my favorite thing there is their salad bar. Its the largest, freshest (hands down), most authentic, simple, delcious, cleanest salad bar I've found. Their tahini is my favorite also and you can have as much or as little of it as you want for no extra charge. I took one star off because the containers they gave you to fil up on your salad are kind of small and you can onyl have as much salad as you can firt into the tiny container they give you. Parking is a pain... well because there never is any. Your best bet is to go by foot or have someone sit in the car. read more

Over priced trash with attitude. The owner doesn't know how to speak to customers and doesn't thank you after charging you $50 for garbage food you can pay $20 for anywhere else. Surprised this place is still open. Absolute joke read more

Olympic Pita has been consistently bringing a taste of Israel to Brooklyn. The Schwarma is by far the best I've tasted outside Israel. It has subtle undertones of lamb and is very well seasoned without being overdone. The Laffas are simply incredible. Baked fresh to order in a stone oven, they are thick and plump and almost melt in your mouth. On orders to go, you're given a plastic container to fill up with an array of tasty salads. Be sure to get the Amba sauce, but apply with caution... it's got kick. Parking sucks usually, and the staff is Israeli and very nonchalant.. but hey, I take my orders to go and Olympic Pita delivers! Oh and btw, I wouldn't eat there. The crowd oftentimes is ghetto and loud and makes for unpleasant vibes. read more

Olympic Pita is Brooklyn kosher at it's BEST. Let's get things straight to begin with; this is a SCHWARMA AND FALAFEL place, don't come in here ordering burgers, schnitzel, or any other of these Middle Eastern no-gos that you'll see on the menu. The schwarma here is fatty, juicy, and succulent, without a doubt the best you're bound to find in Brooklyn. It's like they took the meat straight from Tel Aviv and served it here. You can go with a pita if you'd like, but the fresh baked lafa bread is where it's at. The salad bar will blow your mind, make sure to heap it all on there. Don't forget to load up your schwarma with the good stuff, eggplant, fries, tahina, the works. It may be a little pricy if youv'e ever lived in Israel, but considering you're in the States, it's a sure deal. Just keep in mind you can't roll in here on Saturdays and that it closes a bit early on Friday, so if you want it on Friday, make sure to get goin early. Olympic Pita: Wub read more

The WORST shawarma and falafels I ever tasted. Not kidding you. I was craving falafels all week. Looked up "best falafel in Brooklyn" and someone on Chowhound stated that I should try Olympic Pita. I drove all the way there and boy what a disappointment it was! The shawarma meat smelled and did not taste like beef or lamb or whatever meat it was. It tasted like rubber and had zero flavor. The falafel balls were not soft on the inside and crispy on the outside like the real israeli ones should be. Instead, they were hard on the outside and very hard and flavorless inside. Thank goodness for the tahini sauce that helped me digest them. Unfortunately, the prices at this establishment are very high - and the foods don't deserve these high prices at all. I will surely not be purchasing from here again. read more

They just changed their service from self serve to a full service restaurant. The very good thing about this place is that you can eat as much as you want from their great salad bar. The shawarma was good but not as hot as you would expect it to be served. Will definitely come again with my comments to the waitress before I order. read more

Olympic Pita (Coney Island) was advertising their services on GrubHub.com, so I called them up to try and order a shawarma. The guy on the phone told me that I'd have to pay for the food AND the car service to deliver the food to me. How stupid is that? This guy had the audacity to tell a customer to pay for FOOD and TRANSPORTATION of the delivery guy. I've never written a Yelp review before, but this pr*ck really set me off. I hope these guys get bad business. read more

They have great salads and bread, and some food too ;) For me, the salads (Without taking from the quality of the main course) were the best part of eating here. The place is very nice and welcome (It is surprising when you look from outside and entering for the first time). Many Jewish customers if not all of them. But even if you are not a kosher eater, this place still worth a visit. If you like Mediterranean food, you are going to like it. My personal opinion is that their prices are a bit expensive, but my friend told me that this is part of servicing kosher food. read more

Olympic pita is a great middle Eastern kind of steakhouse. Their service is great. The waiters are polite. They have a huge selection on their menu, and they also serve wine. Overall the food is amazing, and the seating is comfortable. It's a great place for takeout as well. read more

Came here on a lazy Sunday to eat shawarma in a pita. We walked in and were greeted very nicely - we ordered and were given plates to take from their unlimited salad bar. I had the fried eggplant and fried onions with tehina. So good. The shawarma itself was just warm not piping hot this time. But it's usually good. I also usually have it in a laffa, but got it in a pita to mix it up. Which was also nice .. This is a definite go-to spot in Bk for shawarma and falafel (&sit down dinners) .. They also have a great bean soup that I love. The atmosphere is ok and the food is good! I will be back. read more

I'm not giving this one star on the mere basis that maybe they had an off day. A lot of restaurants do.... some don't (like Peter Luger's or Momoun's). The menu is pretentiously overpriced. For the taste and quality of the food, they should cut their prices in half. I waited over 15 minutes for shawarma, and let me tell you, it was the worst shawarma I've tried in New York. Service is so-so, I can't say much, because I came when it was very slow. The decor is decent enough, but again, this is about the food. And it just doesn't do it here. Best thing about this place was the freshly baked laffas. read more

Many many pictures of rabbis on the wall to make it positive...but the waiters looking @the customers like the baby is looking @ u from all sides of you & the cashier too,[no smile] drain look (as long it's kosher it should b this way)...best cameras to make sure you will not do anything wrong...food not bad but all sugar drinks in the refrigerator (from Israel)FUNERAL HOME @the corner who knows if the energy is not coming from there... read more

One of my favorite foods is shawarma .a few weeks ago I have ordered from them and I had to pay for the taxi to deliver it. I opened the shawarma and I could not chew it.......they burned it .I called them and the girl on the phone told me "Come take a new one"....Well, I think it is obvious that if I could go there I wouldn't make a phone order from the beginning. i think for the money you pay there you deserve better than that. Anyways, I would go to other places in Brooklyn to eat shawarma. read more

Olympia Pita - This is what was left - Middle Eastern Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Olympic Pita is the best I've found in Brooklyn for glatt kosher Israeli-style food. In my opinion, the quality of the food here is well below that of Nargila Grill on York Ave in the 80s. But hey, this is Brooklyn! With unfortunately few exceptions, restaurants here are hard put to measure up to Manhattan standards... especially in the kosher world. But when in Brooklyn & hungry for tasty, copious Israeli grilled fare that's quickly cooked to order, Olympic Pita is hard to beat. read more
