    First time visiting Cafe Nova and was immediately impressed with the beautiful manicured Mediterranean garden. We decided to sit outside since the day was perfect and the very clean patio was so inviting. We were waited on right away by a very friendly waitress. The menu was pretty much self explanatory. I ordered the signature Cafe Nova gyro with perfectly seasoned fries. The gyro was huge and meat so tender with just the right amount of tzatziki sauce and and feta cheese. My son ordered a hamburger and the seasoned fries. Everything was top notch and so tasty. Prices were right inline I was totally impressed and can't wait to bring my wife.

    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.

    We had a wonderful meal on the patio. Food was tasty and well made and the atmosphere was fantastic. Great for a casual meal and talking with friends without having to yell....peaceful for outdoor dining on a nice day.

    Great place to eat healthy! I got their Mediterranean platter and it was delicious. 4 people and easily eat that. I also ordered their grilled salmon and it was out for the world! Highly recommended!!

    Beautiful patio!! Which is basically the best thing about this restaurant. If you want to chat & do not care about service, food, drinks or water, it is a lovely place! Came on a week day for lunch, there were 3 other active tables there yet service was so abysmally slow I couldn’t believe it. After sitting approx. 15 minutes with menu & waters, we finally ordered (and requested more water since we drank ours while waiting). We ordered Turkish coffees and joked they must have went to Turkey to get it. Food came out before the drinks. Water was never refilled & glass was empty the entire time during meal. Greek salad was very sad, two huge under-ripened tomato wedges, a few hunks of cucumber & lazily cut giant red onion rings. Tasted like the dressing was just olive oil. I only ate two bites & gave up, requesting a box to take it home and doctor it up. Server never asked how anything was when clearly I was not pleased with Greek salad. The box I was given couldn’t even contain my salad I had eaten to little so it was frustrating I couldn’t even take it all home. Baba was good. Nova isn’t worth the bad service and frustrations accompanying it. The couple next to us had to walk inside to pay their check bc no one ever came to help them. Very poor service which is sad bc it seems like they could be great if they learned how to operate a restaurant appropriately.

    ~*The outdoor area is super cute and inviting. I really loved the food. The caprese salad and salmon bruschetta were great. I really liked the mushrooms. The samosas were good but not what I expected. Very light, pastry type breading. The service was good but slow. They were pretty busy and seemed too be a bit short on severs. They specialed a sangria that was not good. It tasted like cheap wine and grapefruit juice. Would recommend clarifying if it’s a red sangria or what when you order. I assumed it would be a red. It is definitely worth checking out.*~

    The food here is amazing! The service was fast and the people were very nice. The place was clean. Overall there is nothing bad to say about the place.

    Food was good and plentiful. Servers were very nice, but not fully accurate. An up charged item was added (feta on a gyro) that was declined during ordering, and a soda was completely flat, from a bottle past expiration date - person who ordered it didn't say anything to the server.
