Today we came to see what their lunch was all about. Ola appears to be a popular lunch spot. The restaurant area was about three quarters full the whole time we were there. Plus there were several take-out customers coming in and out.
Their menu is fairly simple. You can choose a half-chicken or quarter chicken with your choice of two sides (rice, potatoes, fries or salad). You can also order a whole chicken to go for $9.99. For sandwiches you can build your own by choosing your bread and meats, or if decision-making isn't your forte then they also offer a veal sandwich. The sandwiches don't come with sides and are priced around $6 each. The quarter chicken was also priced at $6 and comes with the two sides.
I went for the veal sandwich because I was very excited to try their bread. Their bread seems to be one of their best-selling products (just based on the customers I saw coming in and out and what they feature on their website). The bun for the sandwich was gigantic, but the meat was rather thin. The tomato-based sauce was good, but I wish there was more of it. With so much bread, it was rather dry. The sandwich also comes with cheese. Some bites of the veal were actually tough. I also ordered a small side of fries. They weren't too greasy and perfectly crispy. I would have liked to try their potatoes, but they didn't have any today. I only managed to finish half of the sandwich and all my fries. The portion was gigantic!
They have a whole chalkboard of espresso beverages to choose from and an interesting variety of fruit juices and nectars. If I had any room left, I would have gone home with a Portuguese tart. They looked very flaky.
Ola is a family-run business. There appeared to be lots of regulars who knew the family very well, obviously long-time customers. My only complaint is that the service was a little slow, so it's more of a sit-and-chat-and-stay place than an eat-and-run place.
Great value. Very friendly atmosphere. I will return to try some of their take-out items like their chicken and potatoes, freshly baked breads and pastries or their grocery items such as coffee or piri piri sauce.
