I can't say enough about this hidden gem. It is some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had, and the staff is definitely native to it.
I had the Nova gyro which is exactly what I hoped for in a gyro. The ingredients were fresh and the meat was seasoned perfectly. It's not big enough to feed the whole family, but it's probably enough to feed a couple of them! �
If you're a fan of Turkish coffee, don't leave without trying it. Oh my, it's so good!
The staff is super friendly and helpful too. I can't wait to go back and experience more of the menu, especially the dessert. If you're in the mood for Mediterranean, don't pass this up. You'll regret it if you do.
The best place where you will be treated as you want and deserve while you relax eating the delicious food and listening to the choosen music , i would recomend this place absolutely !
Delicious food and excellent service. This place has the best baklava in St. Louis.
If you haven't already eaten here, you need to eat here! Fresh ingredients put together with love. One of the best meals I've ever had and such reasonable prices. Get the chicken plate. I'll be back!
The best gyro and greek frape in town. The food is fresh and people are very nice especially the sweet lady the owner. You feel like you are in Europe! 5 stars.
Best cafe in South St. Louis' Princeton Heights Neighborhood.
Great gyros, paninis, oregano fries, & versions of spanakopita. The staff is super friendly & I love the atmosphere. Indoor & outdoor dining available and all this for very reasonable prices. It's my go to spot for a quality casual meal, and my friends to join for celebrations.

Awesome food! So far I have tried the seafood tiropita, cucumber feta appetizer, nova gyro and Baklava and all of it was delicious. Highly recommend this place.
Cafe Nova’s staff is phenomenal. They know what real customer service is. I ordered through Grubhub and due to errors on the menu through their app, my order was incorrect. Cafe Nova swapped the items and provided me with a great experience. In addition, the food was a great value and delicious! I’ll be ordering again. Thanks for your commitment to customer service!
The gyros, salad, falafel and saganaki were excellent! Friendly, attentive service. Daniel did a great job as the only server!
I went here with my sister for an afternoon lunch. The decor is very welcoming and relaxing. This place makes their own ketchup and tzatziki sauce. Both were delicious. I loved the food and music. I could have sat in there for hours. I will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone, especially if you like Mediterranean food.
Absolutely amazing place to eat and drink coffee. So happy I found this place. The lady that runs most of the show is super nice and very sweet I love her she's an amazing person! The food is great, the coffee is fantastic for sure!
Ive been there twice now and the food and service is great! Get an order of french fries they wont disappoint!
The falafel and baklava are to die for! It's amazing having it so close to the house!
Excellent food and service. Owner Katrina treats everyone like family! The best Caprese Salad, Cucumber tools and mushrooms, yummy!!
~*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.*~
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....update...friendly staff, we are inside today, the aromas are almost as good as the food, very inviting.
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.
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!!
The food was amazing, service was outstanding. We will be coming back every time we come to St. Louis.
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.
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.
Excellent Mediterranian food with superb presentation -- it's like it should be served in a picture frame. The service is solid, and the setting is exceptional; they have a truly lovely back patio plus a front patio. Good marks in every column.
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.
Lovely ambiance and outdoor seating. The food was fresh and good. They seemed understaffed, but staff was pleasant and welcoming.
My dog was not very well behaved here, and the staff were saints for putting up with him! The food was amazing, too. It also has a large beautiful patio, with heaters so you can enjoy it regardless of the weather. We will definitely be back, although my dog won't be!
Our favorite Mediterranean restaurant in STL! Great food always and you can tell they put love into their food. My favorite is the grilled chicken and veggie plate with rice. My fiancé loves the spicy chicken gyro and fries. Great service and such a comfortable atmosphere both inside and out.
The atmosphere is so cozy and warm I almost don’t want to share a review! But, I want everyone to enjoy this place just as much as I did.
Definitely a place to relax and eat good food. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful!
The house salad dressing is amazing and portions are great for sharing or to enjoy all by yourself!
I enjoyed the grill chicken platter, the veggies and chicken was so good! I’m not really into rice but if you are you will be happy because the portion is a lot!
My date, a vegan had some pretty good options! He introduced me to the spicy samosas and if you love yummy comfort carbs, you must try them! His falafel was huge with lots of veggies!
The servers were nice and attentive and could have kept the water refills flowing a bit more but other than that this place is fantastic!
Cute spot! Give it a go!
I do not know all the details since I was not the one who called, for what they did for my brothers wedding was above and beyond. The food was great the time, help, and suggestions was the very appreciated. On top of this all they set it all up and let us barrow restaurant dishes. We couldn't of even done what cafe nova staff did for us our selves even for the price at a grocery store.
luvly patio, tasty bites...gnat got in my wine but they replaced it...food was very well seasoned...i loved the crispy wings too

I am a huge fan of this place which is why my most recent experience was so disappointing. I made a reservation for a large party of 12 for lunch last weekend. We were seated for 15 minutes before anyone came to welcome us or take our drink order (someone had to go seek out a waiter) although they were not that busy. Once we ordered it took about 30 minutes to get our food and three people in our party never got their food. When we asked about it, the waiter seemed surprised but about 10 minutes later it came - but the orders were wrong. At this point the rest of our party had finished and many of them had left. We received no apology or offer to fix the orders. When we went to pay, we asked that at least one of the entrees be deducted from our bill, which they ultimately did but not without pushing back and making us feel like we were wrong to ask. Seriously! Three of the members of our party did not get their food until everyone else had finished and yet we received no apology, no offer to make it right, and were made to feel bad for asking to have one of the meals comped. I don't know that I've ever been chastized at a restaurant for something that was their fault and I didn't appreciate it at all. Again, I love the food and have had no issues previously, this incident really shocked and disappointed me.
Went on a date night and loved it. Crispy fries with a oregano flair, husband couldn't stop talking about the Italian burger, and staff was super nice about subbing lettuce for the pita for my gyro (which was also delicious). It was a gorgeous day so we sat outside which had a great little atmosphere and even though it's tucked in between some houses, it till felt secluded with a fountain background noise and pretty landscaping. Our server was very nice, as well as the other staff who checked in on us and got us more water. Left super satisfied and happy. Definitely coming back!
I came here with my family for lunch. Met the mom and son team. Food was good but a but bland tasting. FRIES were a hit ! Salad tasted great. The tatziki sauce was good but definitely need more flavor. The chicken dinner plate was good but in my opinion the chicken needs more flavoring. Baklava and coconut cake tasted good ! We will be back again. Ty !
