    Gyros packed as full as they can!
    Connor G.

    Do yourself a favor and get their Greek fries! This place is awesome! Family-owned and authentic. Sweet people! They don't hold back on filling the gyros either! This place will be a go-to for me!

    They now have desserts from Chicago!

    This gem is located around the corner from my house, so whenever I don't feel like cooking, it's my go-to. Owned and operated by a Greek couple and a father, they serve mouthwatering meals six days a week. While I was in college, The Acropolis was under different ownership. I wasn't able to eat there much as I was paying my own way. It was good then, as it is now. The gyros are very popular and very good. Topped with generous amounts of meat, everything spills out of the pita. Extra napkins needed. When I want something more substantial, I order the pastitsio, a Greek take on lasagna. Savory and cheesy, it hits the spot. A little noticed item is the lemon rice soup. Tangy and thick, it's perfect on a cold winter day. My absolute favorite are their fries. Using a thick cut shoestring potato, these rectangles of perfection are fried until they are crisp on the outside, but still fluffy on the inside. I am always tempted to just order a couple of these.

    Decided to try this restaurant in Lafayette Indiana today. There were lots a great ratings and I love Gyros so I gave it. A whirl. As soon as I entered I felt the Greek presence of authenticity. The gentlemen asked me immediately what I wanted to order and I was shell shocked by the VAST menu. I went r for the Athenian style Gyro and it did not disappoint at all. The sheer size of the sandwich was impressive and the fries to boot were fresh and super hot! I also topped it off with a piece of Baklava that was super delicious as well. It was good enough that I might make the trip to bring my wife to give it a shot. It's a long drive from my house but the better to get a huge appetite to give some sides a try that look yummy as well!

    Good greek food! Chicken was a bit dry, otherwise great! The veggie gyro was just vegetables (no falafel), so not the best option. The fries were served hot and were yummy! Service was fast!

    Gyro with Pita

    Overall score is a 2.4 Honestly there is nothing in the area to judge against so this family owned and run joint gets a higher score. It's not great or awesome or like WTF I need more. It's jut ok that hit my Greek fast food gyro need, a guy could go to Arby's and get the same meat. I say that because it's shipped in log Gyro Meat. With that said. Friendly and good / decent service. I openly stated it was my first time there. And we received a warm greeting. I ordered the Gyro Supreme not noticing American cheese; that's my fault. Honestly should not be on the menu with American cheese. So ordering please read carefully. The gyros were both stuffed with meat and filling. Slightly stale pita despite flat top warming. We also ordered the hummus and pita. Same stale pita but the hummus was really really good. Here is my big deal; the preformed conical meat nonsense that they warm up day after day despite a slow day. Just stick it back in and it processed bulk meat. It isn't good at all. If you want a Gyro in Lafayette, please go to Arby's. We will try another time for a good dish. Maybe dinner is scratch made!? It should be.

    This is the place where I fell in love with Greek food. I started coming here as a kid and always ordered the gyro. I since moved away and have been gone for twenty years. During that time, I did a lot of traveling, including to Greece and the food at Akropolis was just as good as any authentic meal I ate in Greece. Upon returning home for the first time in twenty years, this was one of my first stops. While ownership has since changed, the food is just as good as I remember it. I've only ever ordered a gyro here because I just can't get over how good they are! They are so full of meat! I do look forward to exploring more of their menu. Family owned and operated, the service has always been excellent with both the previous and new owners.

    No flavor. I ordered the Mediterranean Salad and 2 Gyro dinners. First time trying it and last time. AJ's Gyros are better.

    An absolutely perfect dining experience for our group of 8 on a Sunday evening…read more We had a reservation for 5:30 but our plans changed slightly and we arrived 30 minutes early. We planned to wait until 5:30 but we were told it was fine and we were seated immediately. The service throughout our meal was outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable and answered our questions about menu items. She was extremely friendly and personable. We ordered several appetizers including my favorite, Saganaki. The hummus was garlicky and wonderful. We all ordered different entrées. My choice was the vegetarian pastichio. Our entrées and all the sides were excellent. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert so we will try again next time. The ambiance was wonderful, the food and service could not have been better. We all agreed that we will be returning soon.

    Service: Amazing! I felt so taken care of and attended to! Customer service was on point…read more Ambiance: I sat outside. It happened to be the first warm day, and so I could tell I was probably the first customer to sit outside for the season. Even so, the tables and outdoor space were clean. Food: I got the meatballs and they were good! I enjoyed the feta on the inside. I felt they were a little dry and could have been more tender. The pita that accompanied was perfection! The french fries were also very yummy. The feta, oil, and seasoning were delicious. While the food was good, I'm not sure $30 for these two is reasonable.

    Went for lunch on a beautiful day in Indy. What a surprise this was. I love Mediterranean food…read moreand this was hands down the best I've ever had. The ambiance is spectacular. The beautiful tile floors and the view of the canal is perfection. Our server was so nice. Excellent customer service. This was my first time there but I was with a local so when the waitress came up she said "Do you wanna start out with hummus & pita?" I figured it would be the ordinary hummus and pita....oh no ma'am. This was pita with marinated meat and the warmest pita on the planet. I enjoyed so much of it I couldn't eat the falafel when it came. I definitely wanna go back cause there's so many things on that menu that I would love to try. Hands-down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had.

    We really liked our dinner experience at Canal Bistro! The vibes are awesome, huge shaded patio…read moreright along the canal with tons of patrons, and the service was very good. I would come back for that alone even to just sit and drink on a cool evening. Drinks were super good. We ordered the dolma, gyro platter, and shawarma platter Only reason I'm withholding a fifth star is I think the food is a bit overpriced for how good it is. It is good, but I've just had better Mediterranean food for less. The portions are big though, so you could share plates! It is worth a visit! We'll probably be back again

The baba ganoush at Noor Cafe is great, and comes with warm pita slices, plus pickled vegetables on top. I was kinda more hungry than I thought, so I also ordered a falafel pita sandwich and a glass of Pinot Noir. The falafel pita comes with a lot of different vegetables and sauces, and is fresh and cool from the veg, but warm from the falafel and pita. It's also huge! This is something you could definitely split if you wanted to, or eat by yourself if you're especially hungry. I was a little taken aback by how small the dining room is at Noor Cafe. There are four tables, and one of them was filled with toys, which was adorable. Some kid came from out back to play with them, and I was reminded by the adage that the best Asian restaurants are those where some kid is playing or doing their homework in the dining room. I think that might be true! Noor Cafe is not Asian, because they offer Mediterranean food, but they're also not-not Asian because they also offer some Indian options (kaathi rolls, paneer). I mentioned that I got a glass of Pinot Noir here. Yes, they offer beer and wine! They served the red wine chilled, which is not ideal, but I'm willing to overlook that because the baba ganoush was so good.
