Two of us split the taste of Athens sampler and a galaktoboureko dessert. Not to brag, but it was a perfect order. The sampler had plenty of gyro meat, pastitsio, moussaka, dolmades, tiropita, spanakopita, potatoes, and rice to share. Of them, all were good, but the one that was the most "above average" was the dolmades. If done well, they are leafy and lame. This one was great: tender, moist, flavorful. The show-stealer, though, was the galaktoboureko. It can sometimes be too heavy and honeyed. This one was light and sweet to right where you'd want it to be. Add to all of it a great wait staff lovingly making fun of each other in Greek, and this place is not to be missed!

Plaka calamari and grilled octopus were phenomenal. Wonderful service. Very traditional authentic Greek atmosphere (my 100% Greek wife would know!).

The absolute best Greek food in Indianapolis, this place never disappoints.
My friends love this place so I was really excited to try it. I was really disappointed. The service was good. My meat was really dry and tough. I didn't care for the green beans. In some reviews some people have mentioned small portions but I didn't find it to be the case. I will not be back.

I found this little gem just because I was craving Mediterranean Food. I walked in to get a carry out order and from the time I walked in I was treated with amazing customer service, the atmosphere was peaceful, and staff went above and beyond to help me. My food was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back! Thank you!Vegetarian options: So many options.Dietary restrictions: I'm gluten free and the gluten free cake was delicious!Parking: Ample
The food, service and atmosphere is excellent. Staff was so helpful with meal selection and daily specials. Food was delectable and tasteful.Parking: Plenty of free parking. No hassle like downtown. Excellent location!
Had a wonderful lunch yesterday @ Athen's. Eight family members got together--and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food and wine. Our server was Erica and she was terrific. We started out with appetizers-- hummus, falafel, and olive tapenade-- extremely fresh and tasty. We all had different entrees and everyone was very happy with their selection. Can't wait to return!

This has been my favorite restaurant for YEARS and never disappoints! Every dish we've tried has been perfect, so I recommend the Taste of Athens to get a bit of everything! The service is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Prices are quite reasonable for the amazing food you're going to get. I recently got a large order "to go" and everything tasted perfect, even after a long drive home. Highly recommend for a fun and delicious experience!

We love going to Athens on 86th St., as it is family owned and has been there for years. Our recent visit was good just like the others but we did think that the food wasn't as great as past visits. Portion sizes were good but nothing wasspectacular or over-the-top it like usual. But the services always great and so is the ambience. We love going on the weekends because of the music.

Atmosphere, great! Very authentic in Greek decor and Greek music playing in the background.... Food, excellent! Just like our parents home cooked meals from Greece! Each item we chose were made with the best of ingredients in Greek cooking! Service was wonderful! One of the family owners, "Vasili", took good care of us and was exceptional in his service and made us feel welcome and at home.... No doubt, when we come back to town, we'll make sure to bring other family members!
