Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was so good! We got the pita bowl with chicken, and a gyro. Our gps took us to the wrong side of the building but the front desk person inside was helpful and got us there! I’m so glad we persisted because it was delicious & fresh tasting

I had the gyro bowl for the first time and thought it was really good. I've had the stuffed grape leaves and lemon rice soup several times and think this trio is my go-to order now from Athens.

Lower score on atmosphere only because I don’t dine in often and when I do it’s quick during lunch The food is great I get takeout for lunch at least once a week from here and always get the small chicken green salad -comes with fresh hot pita!

Want quick a quick bite for lunch with some healthy Mediterranean options with great flavor. This is a great place! •Atmosphere• This restaurant was very clean, had plenty of seating, and was a nice place to either sit down or carryout for lunch. •Service• The service was fantastic! The server gave a warm greeting and knew my order by name when I walked in. Best of all my order was accurate and packed with attention to detail. Love the online ordering option! •Food• The food came out hot, fresh, and was very tasty! Love that chicken breast which was definitely marinated, tender, and cooked perfectly! Portions are great for the price. Giving this one a 3.9/5 flames Would recommend and will definitely try again!

Definitely good authentic Greek food. They even roll the "r" in gyro" lol. We both ordered the chicken guro, came quick, hot & fresh. The manager brought some chicken breast to our table so we can taste the freshness. It had been off the grill for about 10 mins and was still juicy and heavily flavored. I'll surely be back.

Fantastic gyro with home cooked pita. Fries were boring & unseasoned. Baklava was really good.

food gets a 4 just for the fries. Maybe they were missing salt. We also were there at the end of lunch. Friendly folks, super tasty sandwiches .

We came to Athens Souvlaki for dinner and absolutely loved it! The greek chicken salad is fantastic and comes with the best pita bread I’ve ever had. David, the manager, suggested pairing the salad with a moscato and it was fantastic. We will definitely be back!
