I love Olipita! It’s family owned and authentic Mediterranean foods. I’ve tried many dishes including philly steak wrap, steak plate and chicken salad. They are all delicious! The garlic sauce and Greek dressing is amazing! The owner is awesome! Always nice and polite! Serves his customers with a smile every time. Thanks Olipita! You know I’m a regular 🙂

This was our first time dining here tonight, and we were absolutely impressed! The hummus was spot-on—creamy, fresh, and full of flavor. The kafta was perfectly seasoned, and the salad was incredibly delicious. You can truly taste the freshness, quality and care in each dish.
The owner is so sweet and clearly takes great pride in his business and kitchen, and it really shows in both the food and the atmosphere. We left extremely happy and are already planning to come back many more times to try different meals. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience at Olipita Mediterranean & American Grill. The food was fresh, flavorful, and felt truly authentic. The gyros were perfectly seasoned, the salad was crisp and refreshing, and the combination plate sampler was a great way to try a little bit of everything. The customer service was excellent—everyone was friendly, accommodating, and made me feel welcome. Prices were reasonable too, especially for the quality and portions. I’ll definitely be back.

Olipita has such delicious and authentic Mediterranean food! Me and my husband usually get the gyro plate which is always good. We have also had the Philly Steak plate and the gyro baker which was “wow!”
Plus Ali, the owner, is such a pleasant and friendly man who deserves to see his restaurant thrive.
Bypass Purple Onion and go to Olipita instead. Thank me later!

It’s always a treat when I visit Olipita. The owner is the kindest, most hard-working person! He does everything himself – he cooks, he takes orders, he cleans, he answers the phone, he brings the orders to the tables. And he’s always got a smile and always very warm with the guests. The food is always top-notch; the portions are sizable, everything’s made with quality ingredients, and it’s never a long way. Plus, the selection is huge; there’s something for everyone, Vegans included! This restaurant deserves to be known and loved across the state!! Visit ASAP!

This place is delicious and the people are amazing. I wish I lived so much closer because this would be a weekly haunt for me if I did! (Maybe bi-weekly, actually). I went with 3 country boys and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed it! From the freshly-cooked chicken, steak, shrimp, and lamb served on a perfect pillow of house-steamed rice alongside a freshly-chopped and tossed salad, to the house-made hummus and warm pita, everything is made with care at this place. The owner is beyond amazing and will help you find what suits your taste if you’re like us and have never had Mediterranean food. And the baklava is amazing. (We bought their last plate to take home because it is so fresh and good!) The meats come paired with their own sauce – lamb with a pink sauce and shrimp with a garlic sauce, but the meat is so perfect it doesn’t need anything to dip it in, though the sauces add a different flavor of their own that compliments the meat. 10 out of 10 recommend please visit if you are near! You will not regret it!
