    Lamb lunch special
    Elaine D.

    Haven't been to Nefertiti in years, but not for any reason. I remembered it to be good, so I went today for lunch. I ordered the lamb lunch special which came with rice, hummus, garlic sauce and pita. It was a healthy portion, for me at least, and I took half home. They gave me extra sauce to take. Very friendly fellows. 21

    1/13/24 My husband and I came here for the first time together. I've had it once before and I remember enjoying it so, I hoped it would be just as good my second time. Nefertiti Mediterranean delivers authentic, delicious dishes with vibrant flavors and generous portions. We ordered the shawarma platter and split it and it was enough for the both of us to share. The service was quick, and the value for the amount of food is unbeatable. A must-visit for Mediterranean cuisine lovers!

    Lamb Gyro and Greek Salad

    Good food and friendly staff. Will be back soon. You get lots of meat on pita bread and added a little on the side. Prices were competitive.

    Gyro platter ... loaded with flavorful lamb and delicious Tahini Salad

    Wow!!!! Food is fantastic and owners are super friendly. The restaurant is small, nondescript, and no frills but the food among the best I've had.

    Everything was amazing here! The food was exceptional! We live in NKY and always are looking for an excuse to make the hour and a half drive just to stop here. Can't recommend enough! Plus, the staff is always friendly and helpful with great portion sizes.

    Gyro Sandwich

    Delicious gyro! We did a pickup order, which took awhile because they were so busy. Ingredients were fresh, tasty and well-seasoned. Both my fiancé and I were able to split a gyro platter, with extra meet for leftovers the next day.

    Not as many vegan/vegetarian options as I would have liked, but the food is delicious. I got the falafel, with hummus and cucumber salad.

    Not as many vegan options I would've liked, but the food is delicious. I got the falafel with hummus and cucumber salad. Service was good, the staff were nice and helpful. Small restaurant, gave me NYC and Philly vibes

    Shawarma Platter with chicken & lamb, hummus on the side.

    It has been a year since my first review, & I think this place gets better & better! The portions are huge! Everything is fresh & delicious. Get the hot sauce - you won't regret it! They also recently updated the interior & now have large booths. The service is always excellent & everyone friendly.

    The portions here are huge! I always get the shawarma plate and it's fantastic! Definitely can make several meals out of one order.

    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.
