Olympia is a Greek & Mediterranean restaurant local and beloved to Lowell. My best friend introduced me to this spot last year after a while of asking me to go with him sometime. He told me "if you want some of the best Greek food nearby we go here." He was not wrong. The environment of Olympia is very homey. It has a small bar and the dining area has a slightly fancy sort of flair while still feeling like a pub. It nails ambiance and warm lighting well to make you feel welcome. The staff are quite friendly and knowledgable on the food. They are always happy to help. Most times I go here I am a creature of habit and range between my favorite Mediterranean dish: pasticcio with potatoes in red wine sauce. The food is overall very flavorful and fun as far as tastes go. You cab really tell this is a mom and pop place.

Went looking for lamb shanks and I was not disappointed. It came with potato and rice in a red sauce. Definitely stick to your ribs satisfaction. You won't be disappointed.

While visiting Lowell, some colleagues and I visited the Olympia. It was clear that it has a loyal clientele as the dining room filled just after our arrival. It is beautifully decorated with chandeliers, a blue mirrored wall, and columns. The service was great, the atmosphere was calm, and we discovered some delicious Greek wines. We enjoyed stuffed grape leaves in lemon sauce, chicken kabobs, the lamb salad, and moussaka. Next door is the Zorba Music Hall and Holy Trinity Church is across the street. I'd hope to come back next time I visit Lowell.

Had a last minute need to make a reservation for a 15-20 person birthday party and the lovely staff at Olympia came through for us so graciously, setting us up in the Acropolis Room, which was both private and also was laid out beautifully for our group so that we could all be seated together at one table. Everything was crisp, clean, and the women who served us were so kind and so accommodating of the dietary needs of a few people in my party. Service was super quick, accurate, and all the food was truly delicious. I have been to Olympia many times as a guest at other functions, and I can see why people choose it for these things. The Olympia is a local classic in Lowell for a reason.

Oh Olympia Restaurant, how I love thee, let me count the ways. You cannot find better authentic-styled Greek food in the area. The food exudes love and flavor. If you are looking for a modern interior and ambiance this isn't it but trust me the food is delicious and authentic. I have not had a bad meal here, everything is flavorful. Whenever I am in the area, I always choose to go here. They ask so host mercy meals and I believe still have functions held here. Parking is available on the premises (limited) and there is additional street parking on Market St. and on neighboring streets. Thank you, Olympia, for your years of providing the area with delectable Greek food and excellent service. My family has been coming here for decades and it is a generationally nostalgic for me.
