Food is outstanding. Had saganaki and gyros. Both were great. The highlight was the outstanding baklava!!! If you like Greek food, this is as good as it gets in the area!!!

This is my favorite restaurant in the West Lafayette/Lafayette area. The gyros are absolutely the best and the other food is also super tasty. The service is quick and the people are very nice!

They're friendly, quick, and put out homemade food that tastes as fresh as it is. Have gone multiple times and always enjoy the food. Their homemade gyros are delicious, and pairs well with some Greek beer (Alfa). The lemon rice soup was good, too. I wish the dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) held together a bit more, but they were still tasty. They also make a good cup of Greek coffee for those that need a quick pick-me-up. The menu is pretty extensive, so I'm sure most anyone can find something to please their palate.

Had not been to this place for over 20 years. It has moved to a different place and has changed the decor but the food and service was still excellent as before! First you order your food and drink at the front counter and also pay "up front" (before seating)! Then, you choose your seating while they bring you your drinks. Someone will soon bring your appetizers and later your entrees. Here at the Parthenon, they make everything on their premises as well as their own gyros (lamb/beef) meat, from their family recipe. No greasy gryos meat w/assorted fillers...Yuck! Their meat was so well-seasoned and nicely sliced on my platter and wrap! This is also the place where I had my first Spinakotapita and this one is still the best! The Mousaka, Pastitsio, and Stuffed Grape Leaf are simply the Best...and ai don't know how they get their rice to be so fluffy! The Baklava was drench w/nuts and honey just like we love it! Thanks for bringing back fond memories!

I love coming here for the authentic Greek food. Since they have moved from Chauncey hill the restaurant has been evolving for the better. After the most recent renovations the place looks great.

Dropped in for lunch! Had the classic gyro and my daughter the kids version of it. The pita bread was fresh made and good. The gyro meat was plentiful. However, it was lacking something in it, to take it up a notch. I think having more Tsatsiki sauce may do the trick. Maybe I should have asked for more of the sauce on the side to liven it up! My daughter ordered the fries.. and that was crunchy goodness. Clean place, attentive personnel ( looks like the family runs it) and the prices reasonable. Overall- Not a bad place to grab Greek bites!

Good saganaki. Had Greek fries with gyros. Excellent homemade pita I believe. Feta was good and meat was outstanding quality. Definitely a home run and the baklava was one of the best I've had.

Been coming here for years. Always friendly, excellent food. Friday's they have a leg of lamb that is incredible. As I said the food here is excellent but what tops it off is the customer service. I can't say enough about how great the service is. The owners are just as friendly and always diving in to help customers.

My go to Greek place around Purdue. Same as in the original location on Chauncey, now with a bit more flare and more "American" options. Same classic, time-tested recipes. At this occasion we had lemon rice soup, spinach pie, the Parthenon platter (a bit of everything), and Vilage chicken. The service was prompt and friendly as always. Food spot on. Moist chicken, moussaka properly spiced, gyro meat moist and flavorful. Highly recommend this hidden gem to all Boilermakers... makes me want to go back to my college years!! Such great memories! Thank you Parthenon!

Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.
