Olga's opened in May 2009 and its menu offered simple kosher, vegan, and vegetarian options at a reasonable price. It was positively reviewed by PMFA reader Manny Simone shortly after.
Perhaps its location between 3rd Street and 4th Street was a bit too removed from the rest of Smith Street's Restaurant Row to attract foot traffic, but Olga's delivered.
Had you ever eaten there? Will you miss it?

i liked the sandwiches here a lot, but like katia, i hadn't even realized that olga's had closed. the prices were a little high and the eatery wasn't on my regular route, so i never made a special trip here.
When I think of the rents that stores and restaurants have to pay, I think about what a huge mark-up the consumer gets passed, and consumers, especially these days, are watching their wallets more. I passed by that new burger place on Smith yesterday - I don't see how it will make it.
I went to Olga's quite a bit and enjoyed the vegan paninis and the soups. I'll miss it. Olga told me she was exhausted. It's incredibly hard work running a restaurant.
pretty bad location....i ate from there once and it wasn't great. i always wondered what the draw for kosher would be.
I am vegetarian and used to eat there when I met my kosher friend for lunch. The food was great, healthy and cheap, now we go to Wild Ginger.
She had told us that she was closing up shop and it was at the same time that Bernard was calling it quits but for different reasons,I miss them both.
It was on a remote stretch at the end of the line. noby is passing by at that point.
the "Kosher draw" obviously was the proximity to the Hannah Senesh School.
My friends and I thought every single thing we ate on the few occasions we were there was absolutely delicious. Some of us keep kosher and some of us are vegetarian. We are sad and sorry to see the restaurant close,and that Olga, a personable young woman, could not make it.
