    Have you ever been to a restaurant and think "the food alone speaks for itself?" This is that place. I promise you there isn't a thing on this menu that you won't like. We've gone for lunch on numerous occasions and they are incredibly polite and attentive. I usually get the grilled chicken sandwich which is basically the same marinade but a large chunk of chicken served on a pita. I order it with onions, feta and tzatziki. Firey feta dip is out of this world. If you haven't eaten here you're truly missing out.

    The service here was good, prompt and friendly without any hovering. It appears to be a family run establishment. The food was delicious and abundant. Sexy Beast and I could likely have just split one plate. The price was reasonable. We really should stop in here again during our next trip to Indianapolis.

    This review is only based on a recent carry out order of several appetizers ranging from saganaki and pita to hummus and baba ganoush. The inside of this business reminds me of many other Greek establishments in that it is somehow both insanely dark and cozy at the same time. Athens was quick to fulfill my somewhat large order and at a fair price. Highly recommend many of their sampler style apps the next time you're hosting a party. The saganaki can be ordered already "flamed" with a lemon wedge to go.

    In town for work. Good service. Decent food. I had the half chicken for dinner with the Greek salad, potatoes and green beans. The salad was the best part, the rest was ok. Then had a coffee, which was good, and a dessert that's kind of like a cheesecake, yummy.

    We ended up visiting here after the Greek festival ran out of food, and it was the best idea ever! I ordered the house gyro and fries with feta.... Wowzer. Both dishes were fresh and delicious ! Th service was friendly and on top of everything. The beat part was we orders this appetizer , I've forgotten the name, but they set it on fire and yell OPA! It was pretty cool and delicious. I suggest to visit here for a fun evening out and delicious food!

    I've been here for dinner a few times, and overall, the food is decent, but in my opinion, a little variable depending on the dish. On one visit, I had the stuffed pepper which was quite good; it was nicely seasoned and tasty. The moussaka, which I had on another visit, was a good, solid, traditional version, but not the best in town. On my most recent visit, I had the dolmades with avgolemono sauce; the sauce tasted fine, but the texture was off; it was thickened and lumpy rather than smooth. I've tried making this at home before, and this reminded me of one of my failed attempts. With the $16 price tag my expectations are a bit higher! The sides of potatoes and green beans were a little under-seasoned for my tastes; again, not bad, but not what I expect for a meal in this price range. The servers are friendly and this is clearly a family owned establishment; I really do like to support small, local businesses like this, and will likely continue to come here on occasion when I'm looking for Greek food on the Northwest side, but there are more consistent, higher quality options for Greek food elsewhere in town. I'm not sure if the variability depends on who is working the kitchen on a given night, or if there are just some dishes that the kitchen staff haven't quite perfected, but I am hoping this can be sorted out!

    We love this place and have had it in our regular rotation for years. My husband needs a regular dose of the Athens Specialty Gyro and I'm in love with the freshness of the side salad and calamari. Ok, fine, my addiction is really to the baklava! You can't go wrong with the saganaki, either. If they have the sea bass or grouper dishes, definitely jump at the chance to order. I don't particularly like grouper, but it's just stunning here! The service is absolutely fantastic about 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time we just grin and bear it because we just love this place so much. If you go in and the staff is having an off night, focus on the food and the service issues will become just noise.

    Love the food and atmosphere! The mixed grill special was a plethora of filet, chicken, and shrimp. The flavors are truly an expanse of pleasurable tastes. Loved the appetizers of tazikki and saginaki. The service is always great. They are oh so polite. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    Terrific little Greek restaurant in a strip mall on 86th St. The decor inside makes you feel like you're in a little outdoor cafe. What completes the scene is that the food comes out of what looks like a little trailer (I'm not sure this was intentional, but so be it). Service was really friendly and pretty quick during lunch. Food was definitely homemade and featured some items that you would see at your typical Greek restaurant.

    The Athens Specialty Gyro is very delicious. I stumbled upon this place after moving to the neighborhood, and I will definitely be visiting this place again. The service and atmosphere was great as well as the food.

    I have never been more disappointed!!! Being new to the area, having moved here from Florida very close to Tarpon Springs where everything Greek is available, and the "Real Old & New World Charm" exist from a myriad of different regions of Greece. That is one thing that Indianapolis could use more of more diversified cultural cuisine. I visited Athens on 86th during lunch and there were maybe five other patroons present when I entered. I placed my order to go. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki. On the menu it states that the meal included two Skewers of Chicken, veg's, choice of Rice Pilaf or Greek Potatoes and salad. The waiter brought my order and I departed to go home and enjoy my meal!! Big mistake not looking at the food before I departed. When I opened the container there was only one skewer of chicken which was about two minutes shy of Chicken Jerky"! It was very dry and almost tasteless. I did not even recognize the Green Beans. Apparently at one time they were French Cut. However, they were so overcooked that their consistency resembled Greens. They were literally Mush! The Rice Pilaf and Greek Potatoes were also Par for the course. Dry, overcooked and had been sitting in a warming tray or pot for hours. To add insult to injury they did not even include a salad. Which is probably just as well, but I paid Menu Price for the items that were supposed to be included with my meal and left a very generous tip, considering the circumstances, They should have Tipped Me for even visiting their establishment. Don't waste your time, or money, I don't understand how they even have the doors still open. Where is Gordan Ramsey when you need him????
