Chicken gyro
Hunter S.

This was a DoorDash order, but it was still fantastic! I ordered the chicken gyro, which was fresh, huge, and full of juicy chicken! I also ordered fries, which were crispy, well seasoned, and not soggy at all. Also got the roasted red pepper hummus, which mayyybeee could have been seasoned a little more, but it was still great, also a huge portion. Their falafel is crispy and tasty and their tzatziki sauce is cool and refreshing! They have multiple types of gyros and gyro "bowls" if you don't want the wrap. They also have many vegetarian options, as well as classic Greek fare such as beef stew, kebabs, and meatballs. Definitely a great meal, and I have tons of tasty leftovers!

Special menu

Athenian Grill, what can I say? They have quite a few locations and I am so excited to have a location downtown. I have been waiting for this one to open up, brings variety to the downtown lunch options. The first time I went I went right at noon, they were packed! However they did get through the line rather quickly, which is super important with the downtown crowd. Since lunch breaks go so fast, its important to be able to order, get our food and eat within that small window we get for lunch. Now this location has a different menu than their other stores, more of a quick pickup item store than a full dining experience, so I am not knocking the location for this, just telling you not to come here and expect the full service menu you get at their other locations. Before I start reviewing the food, let me start off by saying this, Gyros are my favorite thing in the world, even over tacos... and wings believe it or not. I love them all, beef, lamb, chicken, though generally lamb is what I go for at a Greek restaurant. However, since I was able to lay that all out, I am going to say that I am not fond of the Lamb gyro here, not at all. Its just not delicious. So I will stick with the classic, the classic gyro here is good. Their Greek salad is fresh and comes with dressing already on the salad.

Classic Greek Gyro combo

I ordered the classic Greek Gyro combo with grilled veggies and they were very well prepared. The tzatziki sauce was excellent. I ordered a to go order for a quick lunch and it hit the spot! If you love Mediterranean food, I recommend trying this place out!! Will be coming back soon.

Spanakopita with lemon potatoes
Jen S.

I was looking for a good downtown spot for lunch while serving jury duty, and Athenian definitely fit the bill. I love all of their locations, and this one is just as great as the rest! It's located very centrally in downtown right next to the library and the courthouses. On this day, I ordered the spanakopita, and instead of a piece of a lasagna-like pan of it like the other locations have given me in the past, I got what was essentially a spanakopita burrito. It was super fun and just as delicious as always. The lemon potatoes are one of my favorite items that Athenian makes. I highly recommend trying them as well. The prices are decent, the location is convenient, and the food is amazing. This is a great place for lunch if you happen to be downtown...or at the courthouse for jury duty like me.

Traditional gyro combo to-go!

Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine - Falafels and  Shata Dipping Sauce

After several years of meaning to go, a recent doctor appointment finally had me in the area during…read morelunch time. Let me tell you, it's a recurrent (every 2 weeks) appointment, and I'm about to make my 3rd trip to Sahara this week. Wonderful price for the amount of food you get. The first time I went I was only able to eat about half of my portion. So much chicken! I got the chicken shawarma, and my hubby got the chicken leg lunch special. Wonderful seasoning, well cooked, great hummus, great Greek salad... the pita bread was meh, but I'll forgive it because everything else was great. The inside isn't a 5 star restaurant, but it's serviceable! Good amount of seating. The staff are friendly, open to questions, and very nice overall. They like to keep the line moving, so don't dilly dally. Ha! Overall, I can see why this was one of my friends favorite restaurants, and it's definitely added into my Lexington rotation.

Sahara lunch is the place to be. They get you served on the fly. I personally love the chicken…read moreshawarma and add an extra level of spice. It is amazing, the staff is always so helpful. There is seating to sit but just keep in mind lunch rush is real and you may have to share a table with someone. Currently they close for the summer which I did not know. Already waiting for them to reopen.
