siddanth rai: Amazing food!! One of the best carts that serve Mediterranean food. There is definitely not much parking space available. You will have to go with the pick up option. Service is super quick, your order will be ready within 5min. I usually have the chicken over rice or lamb on rice. Falafel they serve is very fresh and crunchy, I just love it. Highly recommended this cart, you will not be disappointed.

Ani Azur: I have been a customer for 5+ years and can say that their quality has never changed. Excellent food, service and prices and always looking forward to my next visit

Samantha Rose: Excellent food, Mediterranean food, our favorite is chicken and rice combo, with extra white tzatziki sauce. 10 out of 10Highly recommend this food truck.Fair prices and super quick service either walk up or have delivered.Parking: There is a small lot to park, very busy across from umass lowell, food truck is in small busy lot.

John Maher: We love this semi-permanent food truck. Our son goes to UMass, and this is right on the edge of North campus across from the Riverside parking lot. Every time we visit our son with his sisters, we have to get food from the truck. Our favorite is the chicken and rice plate. Our son likes it with the hot sauce (it’s pretty spicy!). The gyros are great too (chicken or lamb) but you can’t beat the portion that you get with the rice plate. We often have enough left over for lunch the next day. Go there now.

Sanny Keo: I love this place. Order from there frequently. However tonight, it was a disappointment. The onion rings were burnt and I had fried onion peels too. Yuck! Chicken wings were over cooked so they were extremely dry and hard. Only thing that was good was the mega plate.

Judith O.Connor: Awsome food!!

Kiran Thomas: The first time I had the Grilled Gyro from Marko's was back in 2019 and I had the same from there again today, April 2022, this time it was tastier. I have got no words to describe it. Awesome food.

Vian: Nice staff and good food. I would prefer the bread to be less dry and less salad/humus as it was messy and little hard to chew on.

Kenneth Sundquist: I am going to keep it simple, This is some of the greatest Food ever, Best Gyro I have ever had!Simple menu which is always a good think I believe and just amazing food!!

Masha VK: Best chicken gyro of my entire life.

Ashar Saleem: It may not be as noticeable from the street as it should be, but Markos in Lowell is some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. The customer service is top notch and it has exactly the flavor profile that I was hoping for.The chicken is tender and cooked fresh. The yogurt and cucumber sauce and hot sauce go extremely well together.My wife and I usually share one order of their Monster Fries with chicken (spicy). It is more than enough for two people and the fries serve as a great bed for the chicken, tomatoes, onions and sauces.My only complaint would be, of the multiple times we've had, one time the fries were not as fresh as I would have liked. To be fair, it was about a half hour till they close.There are benches outside which you can eat on, or just eat in the car. There is parking available usually, but the traffic right outside is a pain sometimes.They have confirmed on Facebook and in person that the chicken is halal

Jin Saya: It was ok. Got the grilled gyro. Little on the salty side and drenched with sauce. I'll have to try the combo plate next time. Being it was my first time going. Having lived in Lowell for over 15years.Dine in: No Outdoor seating: No Takeout: Yes …More

trish peterson: I am a delivery driver for doordash and I LOVE when I have orders to pick up from Marko’s! Everyone there is beyond friendly, especially the woman in the front. She personally delivers everyone’s food right out to them in their car, no need to wait in long confusing lines. She’s always bright and cheery and puts me in a good mood whenever I see her.

pianopaper No: Thanks for the delicious food. Stay happy.

Biv RM: Love falafel? Marko's is THE PLACE

Tom Bomb: Marko’s has the best gyro around. Get the “gyro platter” for some extra crispy Greek fries. Stop by for lunch during the week, or for their dinner hours on certain days. This food is delicious, and right in the heart of downtown Lowell!

James Metilinos: Go right now. The customer service is impeccable and the food matches. The Mediterranean loaded fries with marinated chicken and spicy sauce was fantastic. Portion was quite large and the staff will bring food to a table or car for you. The unfortunate reality is the traffic patterns make this place criminally difficult to get to. But I’ll walk a mile in the snow to go here if I have to. Keep up the phenomenal work.

Patty Menear: Love this place! Food quick and hot!Too bad the construction at the overpass makes it hard to get into! Won't stop me tho, will be back!

Nae S: If you haven't been here - what are you waiting for??? My go to is the Gyro, add greens with light spicy sauce... The flavoring on the meat is amazing, the tzatziki sauce with light spicy sauce to die for. The tzatziki perfectly mellows out the heat but the spicy sauce adds so much flavor! The girl helping with orders is a sweetheart! If you are in the area you should def. check this place out - if you are far, it is worth the drive! Be ready to commit, it is so stuffed that once you start eating you cannot put it down, have extra napkins handy!

Cody Cadenhead: Awesome falafel gyro, friendly service

J Vieira: Absolutely delicious,

Amanda Sirois: Hands down the best Mediterranean food in the area! The hummus and falafel 💯

K R: I got lost trying to find the restaurant because it's inside the red building and there wasn't any signage outside. All I can say is this place is a hidden gem. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the mixed app 1 which came with stuffed grape leaves (5ct. We ordered the vegetarian option but there's a meat option as well), babaganosh, hummus and pita bread. For meals we ordered the falafel entree which came with a bunch rice and cute little falafels, the roasted chicken dinner that came with rice and the falafel wrap. The chicken dinner and falafel dinner portions were massive so you get what you paid for. The app was also great for 3 people. For 2 people, I probably wouldn't recommend it cause it was alot. The atmosphere was very cozy even though it is in the lobby of a building. We arrived around 6:30pm and it was dead which was nice. Service was also really great (shout out to Shravya!) and we didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. We spent around $112 total and everyone left with leftovers 😊. If you're in Lowell check this place out. There is parking available as well.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options available on the menu.Parking: Parking is located infront of the building.

Cyn S: Absolutely amazing! Got the grilled fish with smoked rice and wow. Also the portions were huge! 10/10 would recommend. Can’t wait to try their other dishes.

Don Greenwood: Best authentic Greek food in the Merrimack Valley3/15/23 Very disappointed with 2 roast lamb dinners to go today. Both with leftover lamb .and leftover rice. My daughter, who took the dish home to her residence in Shrewsbury, remembered she took the photo included. Not very good at that, too hungry to return. Will check dishes before I leave next time. I'll know better than to order to at lunchtime in the future. Do better Olympia!

Francis Ekidor: First time at the Olympia Restaurant. The food and service were top shelf. Marietta, our server, was very helpful in explaining the menu items and Greek wine selection. The restaurant is small, but, cozy. We've added the Olympia to our list of favorite restaurants in the greater Lowell area.

Ida Jacques: I love the food here. Only today and last time I was here the egg soup could of been hotter. Was close to cold and tasted very watery. Update Feb 2023 What happened? Whats happening to the food here? Quality is getting worse. Appetizer spinach pie was horrible, burnt &hard as a rock. Hope you get your act together

Dyment Edward: I grew up dating my wife and dining here close to 50 years. It is our default restaurant. That is not a derogatory term as we live in Lowell and we know what we like. We eat there probably 4-5 times per year. Wife orders baked lamb and I get the Lamb shoulder with garnish accompanied with a Gin Martini. As we are older we go early. Went there and as always it was excellent. Waitress (not server) was great . As my wife and I are older now there are wonderful leftovers for lunch.

Ray: We came here for lunch on the new year's Eve Saturday before 12 and we were the only customer as there were few takeouts. More people came around 1pm.We ordered roasted lamb leg, lamb shoulder, lamb chops, pork chops, and meat ball, chicken kabob for kids.The roasted lambs were tender, the leg was juicer than the shoulder. Lamb chops were nicely seasoned and grilled. Pork chops were thick and juicy, great for the price. Rice and potato were good, but a sprinkle of herb can enhance the flavor. My son loved the chicken kabobs as the meats were well seasoned and tender. My daughter didn't like the baked meatballs too much as it has too many spices, it was fine for adult taste.The egg custard like desert was not too sweet, perfect. The one with all the nuts is on the sweeter side, but tasty.

Chayanis Hauswirth: Good food, nice and friendly service!

Mick Dunn: Authentic Greek restaurant with very good food, service and atmosphere.

Maria McCluskey: Came from out of town and being Greek wanted to eat in a Greek restaurant. I was a little disappointed with the food. The half chicken was so dry I could not hardly eat it. Husband had a gyro, which was okay but not the best. The waitress was fine but did not even know how to pronounce gyro. Best part was the retsina. I have to assume that it is more americanized than Greek. Sad.

Ellen Sherman: Great lunch anf and dinner menu

Timothy Jenkins: Sometimes, mistakes are made, and that's ok. It's ok if an employee has a bad day and maybe isn't as friendly as many expect in this culture. I didn't experience anything like that here, but what I did experience on my last visit was far worse.When I stopped in to pick up a delivery order, the place was completely packed with people standing in about every possible square foot of space. There was a woman spewing right-wing conspiracies into a microphone as some in the crowd expressed their agreement. Clearly, some rally of the uninformed was occurring.How could a restaurant provide a platform for such dangerous rhetoric? How could they expect the team members to work under such verbally abusive conditions? You might have the best food I've ever had, but you can be sure I'll never care to find out.

Stephen Leung: (TAKE OUT) Got the gyro sandwich with a side of rice. Disappointed that the gyro was essentially 2 slices of meat, tzatziki sauce, and a pita. Didn't think the flavor was anything special. The menu lists tomatoes, onions, and parsley that were basically non-existent. The rice came with marinara sauce on top (not indicated on menu). The rice tasted good, but I'm not a fan on the marinara sauce on top. Overall meal was mediocre.

deraysa: Lunch for two plus tip came to $37. Did not like the red sauce on my rice pilaf, and the portion of overcooked lamb and sauce in the gyro was less than generous. The lemon soup was rather bland. Also, the ladies room was not all that clean. The atmosphere was tired and lackluster

Steve: Went to dinner prior to a concert at Tsongas center. Food was good. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
