    This obscure little restaurant is a very colorful hidden gem on Georgetown Road not far off the Circle. There are two litte tables inside, but best to take your food home to sit and enjoy. My falafel wrap was large and stuffed with falafel and veggies. Wow good! I also ordered grape leaves. They come six to an order. Do stop and pickup an order. You won't be disappointed. 63

    I live near this restaurant and have passed it many times and thought I should try this place. Well, today was the date that I tried lunch here and wow I am glad. I ordered the lamb sharma plate lunch and my lunch was 13.99. I was very pleased and this is some of the best Mediterranean food that I have had in Lexington. If you see this small place on Georgetown street you should give it a try, glad that I did!

    Fabulous! Almost hesitant to post if it will increase crowd size in a small place. Huge portions, good value, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. Falafel was the best I've had in Lex (including Sahara and Nefertiti - both great). Clearly I have been sleeping on this place but no more! Will be back very soon!

    Chicken Kebobs and lamb. Perfection. Right down to the best olive oil I've ever had.

    Incredible food. Just incredible. The ingredients are sourced ... from the source. The food is made with love and good cheer. It's a delight to chat with the owner and it's heart warming to hear of his love of Lexington and Kentucky. We are lucky to have him and his family here!!! Well done

    This is such a great little eatery! Fresh and delicious Mediterranean food, made to order, the way you like it! I've eaten here so many times, it's hard to say a good things about the food and the very friendly, and accommodating staff. If you're really hungry, they the plates featuring delicious seasoned basmati, rice, your choice of protein, along with your choice of sides, plus a large room of pita, if you'd like. If you're not quite as hungry, there are wrap style sandwiches made with chicken or beef Shawarma, lamb, falafel, meatballs, or kebabs. The chicken Shawarma is a must have, are the meatballs, which I did not expect to be quite so delicious! They have healthy sides, including green beans, cooked with tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic, hummus, baba ghanoush, and everything is made right before your eyes. The falafels are not made in advance, but fried fresh per order, since they are always delicious, hot and crisp! Don't forget the toum/garlic sauce, or the tahini sauce, or pomegranate molasses! Besides being delicious, everything always looks great since it is garnished with traditional Middle Eastern pickles, olives, sliced onion, olive oil, and sumac. Do yourself a favor and stop by this great little restaurant. You'll be glad you did!. There's a small area for eating inside, and a covered area for eating outdoors, but many people take their food to go. This place is hidden gem, which should not be missed!

    Went back to make sure it wasn't a fluke - we tried three different wraps between the three of us and all were great.

    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.
