Reading Terminal Market isn’t just any food hall. USA Today 10Best readers have named it the Best Public Market in America three times. It won in 2021, 2022, and again in April 2026. Olympia Gyro is the only authentic Greek vendor inside, and one of the market’s longest-running stalls. If you’re looking for Greek food at Reading Terminal Market, this is the place to start.
Made Fresh
Despina makes the baklava and the spanakopita from scratch every morning, by hand. It’s the same way she’s done it for decades.
The gyros come off the spit — chicken, pork, and lamb. We also pan-fry salmon fillets to order. We grill souvlaki to order, build Greek salads, and fry our own veggie fritters. This is authentic Greek food, made fresh — not reheated from a box. Hungry? See the menu for the full list and prices.
