    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.

    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

    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!

    Athenian Grill - Avgolemono Soup

    The Athenian Grill is small but flavor packed. We were greeted at the counter as soon as we walked…read morein by a super helpful young man. He was courteous, knowledgeable and welcoming! While we were waiting there was a steady stream of customers picking up their online orders. The staff was fast and efficient. There are no tables downstairs, but there are a few tables in a dining area upstairs. Everything was clean and bright! My husband ordered the Greek beef stew (Kokinisto) the beef was so tender you could break it apart with a plastic fork and swimming in a delicious red sauce. He chose lemon garlic potatoes and pita bread as his sides both were excellent! My son had the Avgolemono soup (a traditional Greek soup with chicken broth Arborio rice, egg, lemon and chicken) which he loved and an order of freshly made pita. I had the children's portion of Chicken Santorini in a sundried tomato mushroom sauce which was outstanding. The chicken was so tender that again it could be cut with a plastic fork and the sauce was heavenly. I had the roasted vegetables as my side to balance the calories from the rich sauce. Everything was wonderful and I highly recommend as a stop when you are in Lexington!

    Full disclosure, as always: this was delivery/doordash. And that jacked the price up, which is…read morenot Athenian's fault. It also almost always affects the food, but overall I would call this 5/5 Greek. And it did arrive fast even after we ordered past 9 PM! I got the chicken gyro, extra meat. Chicken was juicy and moist. They did indeed give me a LOT of it. It was bursting out of the pita. Tons of fresh veggies included. The fries were crispy, could maybe have used a little more seasoning. Non-doordash without extra meat, is 11 dollars. You can get a combo with a side and a drink for 15 dollars (again, non DoorDash). My colleague got a gyro bowl, which he enjoyed. They allow you to build your own bowl, choosing grain or green, up to two dips, a protein, toppings, and dressing. Athena is the typical Greek restaurant (no insult meant by that). Usual suspects of spanakopitakia, falafel, Greek sausage, Greek salads, moussaka, chicken Santorini. They also have entrees like pastitsio, meatballs, grilled branzino, chicken Santorini, grilled lamb chops. They offer pasta and several other types of sandwiches. I enjoyed this spot, though would prefer it without the DoorDash next time. They have three locations in Lexington.
