Do yourself a favor and get their Greek fries! This place is awesome! Family-owned and authentic. Sweet people! They don't hold back on filling the gyros either! This place will be a go-to for me! read more

Akropolis - Gyros packed as full as they can! - Greek Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Service was friendly but salad was "overdressed". My gyro meat and salad had half a bottle of olive oil on it and that's not including the Greek dressing. Food was delicious and as long as you don't order from dinner menu is relatively fast. I asked about one of the dinner plates and they said 45 minutes (it was during lunch time). I think they should go lighter with the oil. It was way too oily and I'm not counting calories. read more

The food was amazing. The gyro meat and the pita bread was cooked to perfection. The strawberry cheesecake was absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and nice. The atmosphere was welcoming and felt true to the theme. read more

Visited recently with wife and we both had the Pastitsio which was stellar along with Lemon Rice soup which was also excellent! Lots of variety on the menu and had quality service. Will definitely come back! read more

Nice little place. It looks like it's family owned & operated, as well. I got the gyro & it was very good. There was a lot of meat on it and the price wasn't bad, either. I'll definitely be back. read more

Mother and i dined about a week or so ago. Both getting the Gyros with side French fried. A soda and lemonaid. Only complaint for me was the pita bread could have been fresher. So we wouldn't had to dirty silverware. Family friendly and very tasty. SpanX read more

The food here is amazing and the prices very reasonable. My favorite is the gyro on pita, and my wife usually gets the Greek salad with steak strips, which she loves. It's our go-to stop when shopping in Lafayette. read more

Over priced, but would have been ok if the quality was there. Fried zucchini was so overcooked it was hard to eat and the Gyro meat was lacking flavor and was dry and crispy on one side, which is not to be expected at pack lunch hour. Not a fan, will not return. If you're looking for an excellent Gyro and spinach pie go to the Parthenon on the West side!!! read more

You walk up to order your food and take a seat. Then a food runner brings it to you. We started with a flaming cheese and an order of hummus. The cheese was the highlight of the meal. It was delicious and rivaled any I have ever had before. The hummus appetizer was decent and was a generous serving. I was so excited about the rest of the meal but was quickly disappointed by the blandness of everything else. My salad was so tired. No tang. No zip. The fries were unseasoned. Everyone else on our party of four had the same read on their food. Bland! Nothing terrible but just ok all around. I wouldn't rush to come back. read more

This gem is located around the corner from my house, so whenever I don't feel like cooking, it's my go-to. Owned and operated by a Greek couple and a father, they serve mouthwatering meals six days a week. While I was in college, The Acropolis was under different ownership. I wasn't able to eat there much as I was paying my own way. It was good then, as it is now. The gyros are very popular and very good. Topped with generous amounts of meat, everything spills out of the pita. Extra napkins needed. When I want something more substantial, I order the pastitsio, a Greek take on lasagna. Savory and cheesy, it hits the spot. A little noticed item is the lemon rice soup. Tangy and thick, it's perfect on a cold winter day. My absolute favorite are their fries. Using a thick cut shoestring potato, these rectangles of perfection are fried until they are crisp on the outside, but still fluffy on the inside. I am always tempted to just order a couple of these. read more

Akropolis - They now have desserts from Chicago! - Greek Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Decided to try this restaurant in Lafayette Indiana today. There were lots a great ratings and I love Gyros so I gave it. A whirl. As soon as I entered I felt the Greek presence of authenticity. The gentlemen asked me immediately what I wanted to order and I was shell shocked by the VAST menu. I went r for the Athenian style Gyro and it did not disappoint at all. The sheer size of the sandwich was impressive and the fries to boot were fresh and super hot! I also topped it off with a piece of Baklava that was super delicious as well. It was good enough that I might make the trip to bring my wife to give it a shot. It's a long drive from my house but the better to get a huge appetite to give some sides a try that look yummy as well! read more

Good greek food! Chicken was a bit dry, otherwise great! The veggie gyro was just vegetables (no falafel), so not the best option. The fries were served hot and were yummy! Service was fast! read more

The food was excellent and was served quickly by friendly and courteous staff. We'll definitely be back.

I was really excited to eat at this place with my family (love Greek food) and we just arrived to Indianapolis. I called ahead to make sure we would make it there before they closed and when the gentleman answered he said depends, and then hung up. I called back and again asked because the website said one thing but google maps said another and he said I already told you. Rude, unprofessional, and unfortunate. read more

We ordered the Gyro with fries and the shrimp basket. The Gyro meat was very juicy and flavorful. It took less than 10 minutes from ordering to our food being ready. There was all sorts of Greek items hanging in the walls so there was no lack of things to look at. I would say a great lunch spot. We will be returning for sure. read more

Local family business that knows how to make a mean gyro and italian beef. Large portions. Don't forget to get some soup.

This is the place where I fell in love with Greek food. I started coming here as a kid and always ordered the gyro. I since moved away and have been gone for twenty years. During that time, I did a lot of traveling, including to Greece and the food at Akropolis was just as good as any authentic meal I ate in Greece. Upon returning home for the first time in twenty years, this was one of my first stops. While ownership has since changed, the food is just as good as I remember it. I've only ever ordered a gyro here because I just can't get over how good they are! They are so full of meat! I do look forward to exploring more of their menu. Family owned and operated, the service has always been excellent with both the previous and new owners. read more

Akropolis - Traditional gyro (with no onion and I already ate the tomato) - Greek Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Overall score is a 2.4 Honestly there is nothing in the area to judge against so this family owned and run joint gets a higher score. It's not great or awesome or like WTF I need more. It's jut ok that hit my Greek fast food gyro need, a guy could go to Arby's and get the same meat. I say that because it's shipped in log Gyro Meat. With that said. Friendly and good / decent service. I openly stated it was my first time there. And we received a warm greeting. I ordered the Gyro Supreme not noticing American cheese; that's my fault. Honestly should not be on the menu with American cheese. So ordering please read carefully. The gyros were both stuffed with meat and filling. Slightly stale pita despite flat top warming. We also ordered the hummus and pita. Same stale pita but the hummus was really really good. Here is my big deal; the preformed conical meat nonsense that they warm up day after day despite a slow day. Just stick it back in and it processed bulk meat. It isn't good at all. If you want a Gyro in Lafayette, please go to Arby's. We will try another time for a good dish. Maybe dinner is scratch made!? It should be. read more

This is why I love Yelp. Never been to this town and looking at reviews found this place. Had a hankering for Chicago food so wanted Italian beef. Ordered it and the Dolmathes. Was not disappointed at all. Worth my trip here. I hadn't had either one in a long time and boy were they good. Slap yo mamma good. I'll be back. read more

I've had this before and could not believe how fresh and delicious. Just got lunch and both gyros were dry and old. I'm sad to say I will Not be returning. $20 for food old pita from a Greek place. read more

Verdict: Not impressed Location: Okay Decor: Okay Food/ Drink: Okay Service: Good Price: Good Details: I have to start by saying that I love greek food. Went here on a Saturday evening. Finding the place wasn't the easiest with no clear signs till you get right up at their doorstop. Parking was convenient. The restaurant wasn't packed and it is more of a self serve kinda place. I wanted to keep it simple and just got the lamb/beef gyro. The service was really nice and they were very friendly, which is a plus. The price for the gyro was decent, but can't say I was very impressed by the sandwich itself. It was definitely meat loaded, which is never a bad thing, but it felt a bit dry. The pita was softer than the meat itself. It also seemed like they were skimping on the tomatoes, onions and sauce, which didn't help with how dry the gyro tasted (I saw similar comments by other members on yelp). Maybe I'll give this place another shot and try the Moussaka next time. read more

THE OWNER IS SOOO RUDE!!! I have never experienced such bad customer service from a business owner, my husband always brings us food from there, but this was the first time I was able to order via phone call. I called at 3:44 to order a gyro dinner and he was already in a bad mood so I ordered as fast as I could, he told me the food would be ready in 10 minutes but then realized I ordered the wrong rice so I called again at 3:47 to change it and he said the rice was "already made". I asked him if he just made the lemon rice in 3 minutes just for me and he said "yes" which is a total bs... The rice is always pre-made, so I told him if he could change it because I didn't want that one, he said "thank you" and hung up on me... Not to mention that I was already outside the restaurant waiting in the car with my baby in the back seat (that's why I made the order through a phone call). read more

Been coming here since I was a kid, One of my favorite restaurants. Portions are generous and food is always hot. The gyros are an easy recommendation, I also like their spinach pie and of course- baklava. read more

Great service, very fast for my counter carryout order. The gyros were huge and outstanding, tasted wonderful. Great value for the money. Fries were average at best, but who cares? You're there for the gyros, right? This fits perfectly with my ethic of going to divey places as I travel the country. No points for artistic interpretation, but the food was great. Thumbs up. read more

Excellent place. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, clean atmosphere, and most importantly great food without a long wait!

Stopped in on a whim, I've driven by many times and had always been curious. I ordered the Italian beef and sausage combo, and it did not disappoint. The beef was seasoned well, the au juis was soaked into the bun perfectly, and the sausage was grilled nicely. Best I've had, short of something downtown Chicago. Thanks, I will be coming by again! read more

Akropolis was purchased and the food is slightly different now. The interior was somewhat redone in the past couple years after the transaction, but it's basically the same layout and vibe. I finally got back and had a gyro and fries. The tzatziki has been improved. The meat is pretty much the same. Pita was not very soft. Toppings were good quality - tons of onions and tomatoes. On the whole this is an improvement as Meat and Tzatziki are the primary factors of import when judging a gyro. As a result, Akropolis has jumped one spot in the Greater Lafayette Gyro Standings.

I grabbed lunch with a friend and had ordered a gyro. It was good, I especially liked the tzatziki sauce! The restaurant was clean, the decor looks a bit dated. But the staff was very friendly, and helpful. It was a nice quiet atmosphere to catch up with a friend. The pricing is good, and they were very quick to serve our food. read more

We saw this place online while driving home from Chicago through Indiana. Drove off the path a bit and it was well worth it. Greeks cooking it all and totally authentic, cooked to order, Greek cuisine! Our meals were delicious. If you have a finicky eater, there are other items they can enjoy! Will definitely return when in the area. read more

First time here. I saw a review that stated they had a new lemon chicken and rice soup. I loved that sour when I was in Anchorage AK at Little Italy. I have missed it Well not the same but still very good. I came for lunch and expected smaller portions. The soup came in a bowl generously sized. The Greek combination plate seemed like a good way to sample several things. A beef gyro, chicken gyro, seasons rice, and potatoes,boiled And pitas that are fresh and fluffy. Oh yeah Tzatziki. All very flavorful, good. All above seems to be freshly prepared on site. You order at the counter and they bring you the food on China with metal flatware. Just a note Yelp won't allow a check in. It says I am too far away. I am sitting in the dining room. read more

This place is really nice to come to if you are in the mood for something different. It is a family operated Greek restaurant that has a menu with great variety. You come into the restaurant and order from a cashier station. The food is then brought out to a table you seat yourself at. Food: The food here is good, I really enjoyed the lemon chicken soup, spinach rice and Greek yogurt! Very delicious and healthy! Service: This was quick and efficient, and the owners were the cutest couple ever, so sweet and genuinely interested in the customers! Location: It's about 10 minutes from Purdue's campus, so that is super convenient. Prices: Some of the meals are pretty pricey, but the a la carte items are very reasonable. Try this place is you are in the mood for something different, you won't regret it! read more

Who doesn't love a great Gyro? These are authentic gyros and the owners are very nice! Always good food!

The family who owns and runs this restaurant couldn't be nicer- service with a smile for sure. The food is a really good bargain, definitely less expensive than the other Greek place in town. The portions are large and you definitely get a lot for your money. The veggies are fresh and the feta cheese is amazing. I tend to stick to the same thing every time but I've tried a few other things and everything so far has been really flavorful and delicious. Basically this is a greasy spoon-style restaurant, Greek style. I love it and I'm happy to support a family-run, neighborhood restaurant that isn't a chain. read more
