Cafe Nova

Plenty of space allowed for SD. Great place for a nice cool evening out . Although, I did not notice any background mood music. My favorite is the Grilled Chicken plate. Enjoy and please like if this review with photos helped. Update: Yes, still coming here. 08/26/25: Still coming although the prices are getting higher, I may soon have to rethink my culinary priorities. Today, I had the Ribs and Sweet potato fries. Very nice outdoor space to enjoy your food on a nice cool day Like if this review helps. Enjoy Added a couple of photos today…

I was looking for someplace new for lunch and a friend recommended, Cafe Nova. When I lived in STL, I drove by numerous times and always told myself I needed to check it out. Well, I no longer live in STL and I am finally checking it out. Now that I have, I am pissed at myself that I didn't try it sooner. I stopped by for lunch and enjoyed a Nova Gyro that was served with a side of fries. For a minimal up-charge, I had them add Feta Cheese to mine. When the Gyro arrived, it was super huge. It was so big, I could hardly pick it up to take a bite. I ended up eating part of it as a salad with a fork until I could finally pick it up and eat it like a true Gyro. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tender. It was smothered in their house made tzatziki sauce and wrapped in a warm Pita. The toppings were plentiful and they were; sliced red onion, shredded crisp lettuce, cucumbers and vine ripe tomatoes. Adding the Feta Cheese, was a wise move. It added, an extra Greek kick to the Gyro. My glass of Pinot Grigio was a perfect accompaniment to my lunch. With it being super huge, I took a third of it home and made a salad out of it for dinner. The only negative, is their take home vessels are styrofoam and not eco-friendly. The service was attentive and friendly. My server was training a new gentleman and think he's going to do a great job. I'm already thinking about a return visit, because I need to try the baklava.

No sure how they’re still open but i guess i went here and the food was absolutely horrible!! No taste on nthn i felt lik i was eating as if i had high blood bc that’s how much seasoning was on the food and I’ve had Mediterranean food plenty of times and I’ve never tasted any that tasted like this place. Let’s not get into the portions!! Oh wow! They’re so little portioned it’s ridiculous… they give u more lemons and onions on the plate then anything.. just a heads up if u want good food this would NOT be the place.

AVOID THIS PLACE I should've known not to proceed after phoning this restaurant and experiencing rude and impatient customer service while trying to place a carryout order. Turns out that the website prices need to be updated. DISGUSTING An online order of cucumber/ feta rolls and seafood tiropita was placed for carryout. The "perfectly baked" tiropita is actually the image of the burnt pile of cheesy muck you see pictured in the enclosed image. The cucumber/ feta rolls are uncreative chunks of cucumber covered with feta. That thrown together slop is what is pictured as well. I was unable to finish the food as it was unfit for human consumption. Flavorless, bland food is severely overpriced with no return on your investment. UNPROFESSIONAL Staff is rude and rushes people out of the restaurant. They make it clear that they do not want to be bothered and could care less about providing professional customer service.

You must add this place to your list!! First time dining at Cafe Nova and it was great!! The atmosphere was welcoming and the patio was beautiful on a sunny day. Menu has lots of options, everything looked so good it was hard to choose! Hummus App: 5/5 *pita was so fresh and hummus tasted great, would get again! My dish (Nova Gyro): 5/5 *HUGE portions! Really really delicious and the fries are also great! Baklava: 5/5 * got this to go and it was amazing Girlfriends also got the buffalo chicken gyro, chicken panini, soup of the day which was a chicken noodle and the mushroom platter. Really great experience overall, can’t wait to visit again!!
