Olympita Food Truck - Middle Eastern restaurant in Olympia - 1919 Harrison Ave NW, USA

Always friendly, awesome vegan options, great specials! The pita is so fluffy and fresh and the hummus is so creamy and flavorful!

I was super impressed with the depth of flavor and the quality of the ingredients. I will absolutely be back to try more things on the menu. I would highly recommend it to others as well. I ordered online for pickup on location and was an easy process.

Their food is delicious. It’s filling and healthy. We got the shish kebab and the burger ( forgot what it was called). It was delicious. I asked for a small side of hummus but they gave me a bigger container. We also had the fries, pickled veggies and some garlic sauce. The hummus is an awesome dip for the fries and a dressing for the meat and salad. Definitely recommend them.

One of the best shawarmas I've had!! You know food is good when the garlic sauce is on point! Loved every bit of it! Ordered the shish kabob as well! Pita was so soft and fresh as well. Hummus and falafel was amazing as well and I don't usually like falafel!

Olympita might be my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the Olympia area. The pita is always fresh and perfectly cooked, with soft spongy insides and robust enough to hold a lot of food. Their shawarma is amazing, nicely browned and unctuous meat with all the spices. And the hummus…I can’t even begin to explain how refreshing it is to find hummus this good. Perfectly smooth, delicate flavor, not overpowered by any one element. And with shawarma on top: phenomenal. The kebabs are perfectly cooked, with a serious char on the outside but juicy and tender meat on the inside, a hint of spice and a big hit of lemon. It’s also the attention to detail that I love here: the presentation of the hummus, the spices they toss the onions in, and the perfectly diced veggies for the salad. Even the fries are all perfectly fried to golden brown and crisp, a feat that requires a lot of skill and attention. I have yet to try the falafel, but I have high hopes! My one suggestion would be a bit more salt on everything: the flavors speak for themselves, but a bit more salt could kick everything up just a bit more. The high quality of all the ingredients is apparent though; they source the meat locally and the veggies always taste amazing! I can’t wait to come back here and eat more. It’s well worth it!

I wanted to love it the way I remember loving the falafels and the lamb schwarma sandwiches I used to get in the Boston area, so exotic and always nice and fatty, decadent, concentrated flavor. The schwarma part on this sandwich is really good, the lavash is too, and it is definitely a filling sandwich! Excellent amba sauce, spice without spiceyness. Fun location directly opposite the waterfront. But they went light on the salt + on sauces (which I had been very excited for -- garlic cream sauce!!!) which all ended up at the bottom of the sandwich, so it was a bit dry ... on that point, the sweet potatoes inside are a creative touch I've never seen before, but they dominated ... but I wonder if rice or shredded lettuce instead, would have helped the sauce stick all the way through. Also I really wanted a higher meat-to-filling ratio for that fatty flavor, even if the sandwich has to be smaller. I'll be back when they have baklava again and I'll update this review after I ask for extra sauce :)

I almost didn't rate them a 5. Only because I've had issues with them being open. First time was on a Saturday. The good thing was I found Akashic (Review coming). That aside, I really wanted to eat here. Today I was finally able to. I had a lamb/beef shawarma pita and my wife a chicken pita. They were both amazing. Interesting but good french fries. Key to knowing if they'll be open is to check their website. You have to click an "Order Now" link. Shows the complete menu with pictures. If things say out of stock you'll know they're closed. I ordered online and it was super quick. Our food was ready at the time the website estimated. I recommend heading to this food truck corner.

This place is easy to find, access, and exit...if you're walking. Finding a parking spot will be your biggest challenge, but there's almost always one within three or four blocks (100-200 yards). Typical lunch / entre price for Olympia at $10-17 per person. The food tasty and filling. Freshness is obvious in taste and appearance. No facilities and handicapped access is typical for downtown.
