Olga's Kitchen

Olga's Kitchen is a family-owned restaurant chain specializing in Greek-American cuisine. Its roots trace back to 1970 in Birmingham, Michigan. Founded by Olga Loizon, the establishment has grown significantly.

The chain now encompasses 36 locations across Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio.

The restaurant's menu features a variety of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, focusing on their signature "Olga" sandwiches. These sandwiches use a unique, handmade bread known as Olga Bread as the foundation for various fillings.

A standout item is the Original Olga, comprising broiled, seasoned beef and lamb, topped with onions, tomatoes, and a yogurt-based sauce called Olga Sauce.

Menu Highlights

Olga's Kitchen offers more than just sandwiches. The menu includes:

• Appetizers like Olga's Snackers – warm, seasoned wedges of Olga Bread served with Swiss almond cheese.
• Spinach & Cheese Pie – a blend of creamy cheese and spinach wrapped in flaky phyllo.
• Salads such as the Olga Salad, combining romaine and iceberg lettuce with red onions, feta, kalamata olives, and grape tomatoes.
• The Mediterranean Spinach Salad – includes grilled chicken breast, spinach, cucumber, grape tomatoes, bell peppers, feta, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, and crispy vegetable straws, all tossed in the signature dressing.

Hearty bowls are also available, like the Shawarma Chicken Zing Bowl, featuring smoked chicken with olive, tomato, and cucumbers over coconut zing rice and kale, topped with Olga Sauce, pickled onion, and feta.
