Serious EatsMay 24, 2013Chicken Breast Shish Kebob: The marinated meat is freshly grilled to order, so that it stays juicy and well seasoned. It's stuffed into a fluffy and soft pita, along with crunchy onion.
Time Out ChicagoJuly 7, 2014According to the cultish customer base that swears by this place, it’s on your third visit—when you order the juicy chicken kebabs, the Greek fries or the flaky spanakopita—that the spell is cast. Read more
Chicken Kalamata dinner, spanakopita, pork shish-kabob salad, Steak! Can't go wrong with anything offered.
Allison KaminskiJanuary 7, 2016Great value for a gyro meal!! One of my favorites in the city. You can order food off the menu at the bar connected to the restaurant- Time Out ChicagoNovember 2, 2011You may try the gyro salad, slices of meat sitting atop simple greens, and think: “Not bad.” But according to the cultish customer base, try the juicy chicken kebabs or the the vinegary Greek fries.

Amanda MeyerMay 2, 2013Very affordable Greek fare! Kalamata chicken had excellent flavor, and for the love of food, make sure you get feta cheese with the salad! Greek fries are super worth it too.
Evan Kracoff 👌👍🏂October 15, 2016The Kalamata chicken is the best chicken in Chicago, and quite possibly the world.

The Greek fries are so good I can't even stand it! Really like the house salad with feta too - they are so generous on the feta
Kathleen O'DonnellDecember 18, 2021Love the Greek Salad, authentic gyros sandwich or dinner. Chicken is very good with roasted potatoes & rice.
Order a side of tzatziki and pita (if it doesn't already come w/your meal). So good! Light and fluffy w/a spicy kick. Ps they don't serve the avgolemono (lemon soup) on Weds.- Zach Solomon-BeloinNovember 21, 2016Super authentic Greek restaurant. Food is amazing. It's a small place attached to the bar. Highly recommended!
Kelcie BrushNovember 30, 2013The skirt steak is to die for. Only thing I've ever eaten here because nothing can even compare. Definitely worth the price!
Best Greek food in Chicago! Get here early on summer nights so you can grab a seat on their patio.
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014The traditional lamb/beef combination is flavorful, served with perfect crispy edges. Read more
Becky CrawfordDecember 9, 2012Fantastic place to take out of town guests. Try the skirt steak it was delish!!!
Crispy, brown, delicious chicken skin...gigantic gyros, and Greek fries. Boom.
Frank BiancoMarch 16, 2013I had my first meat at the Athenian Room almost 30 years ago, and it is as good now as it was then.
Delicious food and great prices. You'll have to wait a bit for a table though, it's popular!
Gyros, Greek fries, Greek salad...get beers fro glasscots
- Laura KellyOctober 15, 2011Gyro dinner never fails to satisfy! Tina Fey recommends the Kalamata Chicken, which is also good!
- Frank BiancoMay 24, 2013I was one of their first customers over thirty years ago an the food has always been great.
Fast lunch and friendly service. The gyros are overflowing!
