    Acropolis Restaurant - Acropolis Sampler Platter: an awesome variety of Greek flavors. Purchased as a carry out, $16 out the door!

    I have mixed feelings. We went during Spring Break. We were in Greensboro and decided to try it…read morebased on a friend's recommendation . Trying to find parking was a nightmare. It took over 20 minutes. Once we entered, we were greeted with "We're Closing soon. " it was 2:30. I explained about the parking hassle. She responded by huffing "I know." We got the gyro platter. Serving was pretty generous. With the gyro meat came 1/2 a boiled potato, plain. Rice (mushy) and green beans with tomatoes which was okay but possibly overcooked. The broccoli and Tzatziki were good. Our server counted out the register nearby while we ate. I asked about dessert, since we had already decided not to return. She said "I already rang you out." Dessert was hot and custard like. It was the best part. So the pricing wasn't terrible, the food was okay, and the service was questionable. If you want to try it come very early in order to find parking and hopefully better service.

    How ironic that I ended up at this restaurant for lunch with my friend Andy after just having…read morevisited Greece! Just a couple of months ago I was sitting in a gorgeous hotel in Athens for $80 a night eating a huge Greek hamburger and staring at the Acropolis out of my balcony window. As the clock struck midnight at New Year's Eve, I had the added Joy of watching fireworks soar over this iconic ancient site. What a memory! So, it seemed only fitting when Andy suggested Acropolis that we meet there for lunch. I literally had not been in that restaurant for a decade or two. As a matter of fact, when I first moved to Greensboro, I think it was the only Greek restaurant in the area. I remember in my early years at The Community Theatre of Greensboro meeting many a client at the Acropolis downtown for lunch. Although I rarely dined there for dinner, I was a big fan of their moussaka, Greek salad and some other Greek dishes. Although this place never blew me away, I always enjoyed the meal and I remember the owner. She was a pleasant woman, always happy to see me and very welcoming and proud of her restaurant. I have a feeling she no longer is around but she made a lasting impression on me. So, I returned to Acropolis a few days ago. Absolutely nothing has changed LOL. The décor looks exactly the same, the menu looks the same and the atmosphere is the same. That's not a bad thing, just an observation. I ordered a diet Coke to start, and although I like unlimited servings from the fountain, I was okay with Acropolis giving me a nice big bottle for myself. It got me through the meal! Their menu is inviting and reasonably priced. They have specials everyday and I was excited to have the Greek chicken. Unfortunately, when I ordered it they told me it was gone. I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter and it was very tasty. Instead of the rice I asked for a double serving of vegetables which they accommodated. The green beans were quite good We arrived at 1:00 p.m. and the restaurant closes for lunch at 2:00. Unfortunately, the place was not very crowded and so at 2:00 p.m. we were the only ones sitting in the restaurant. I felt the pressure for us to leave which I did not appreciate. They kept clearing our plates and at 2:05 they turned off some of the lights. I understand they wanted to go home but I don't think you should be rushing patrons out of your restaurant 5 minutes after the closing time if they are still in the middle of their meal or conversation. Just saying! Feeling like they wanted us to leave, we headed out. I have mixed feelings about the rating for this restaurant. On the one hand, I felt I was pushed out of the door after 2:00 p.m. I would have liked to have seen unlimited fountain drinks and I was turned off by Greek chicken being offered as a special of the day but being told they don't have any more. On the other hand, kudos to any restaurant that can sustain itself for decades and decades like Acropolis has. Now they are across the street from the baseball stadium. I also was shocked but pleasantly surprised that there was free parking on the street right down the block from the restaurant. In honor of longevity and being the first Greek restaurant to be brave enough to open in downtown Greensboro, I'm going to give them some kudos but would advise them in the future to give people a chance to enjoy their lunch or tell them when they walk in at 1:00 p.m. that they have 1 hour to eat and then they need to get out! LOL I would have to say that I do prefer places like Odeh's, Nazareth Bread and Mythos, but if you are downtown and want to experience a nice sit-down experience of a Greek meal from a restaurant that has stood the test of time, I would head to the Acropolis! It didn't compare to my sitting in my hotel room in Athens, staring at the real Acropolis on New Year's Eve, but I had an enjoyable lunch and very enjoyable company!

They set the standard for what all good Greek/Mediterranean food should be, with mouth-watering flavors, great presentation, and portion sizes. This is as Authentic as you can get, with both the spices and ingredients. Super friendly owners and folks that run that restaurant, always making you feel welcomed and appreciated, no matter what time of day you swing by. Never seen them not smile, now that I think about it. Nothing better than sitting outside in the sun with a friend and biting into their Gyros. I've been there plenty of times, and they never disappoint. Honestly can't say I've had a bad thing off of their menus. I don't believe in love at first sight, but when it comes to Taste of Troy's Food, I do!

    Truly authentic Greek and Turkish style food at this mom and pop spot. In an unassuming strip mall,…read morethis restaurant has a small footprint, but they pack in all the flavor and love for an authentic experience. They actually have a vertical spit! Very hard to find a spot that cooks the gyro lamb in this authentic style. The lamb gyro was unbelievably flavorful. Meat fresh and tender, complex spices, homemade tzatziki, and a fresh pita to wrap up all that flavor. Also had a Meze sampler with dolmas, hummus, spanakopita, falafel and a side salad. Flavor bombs! My wife said the falafel was one of the best she's ever had. Fresh and crispy on the outside, with a soft and well spiced inside. And the dolmas...you know when you have one that has hard rice inside that is dry and bland? Well this is the exact opposite. Soft and tender rice, juicy and tasty. Last but not least, the owners went above and beyond while we were in there. She was tending to us and making sure everything was to our satisfaction. He was in the kitchen but checked on us, and made sure to acknowledge us on the way out. Pure love pours into their food, and spills over to the customers. Don't miss this one. It's worth it.
