    Finally, I don't have to wait for a Greek festival to have some authentic Greek food! It was promising the moment we parked, seeing the huge lunch rush. The line was almost out the door, though it went by in a couple of minutes. There's a menu on the counter where you order, and the service was great, helping you with whatever caught your eye in the hot bar. We ordered every other thing. We sat down, and I loved the classic local feel of the place. We ended up with gyros, Greek salad, grape leaves, fries, and spinach pie. Our highlight was the gyros; they had great gyro meat and reminded me of some of my favorites. The Greek salad was great, and so were the crispy fries. The fries reminded me of diner fries, if anyone can relate. You can help yourself to the condiment bar where I sprinkled cheese and drizzled ketchup on the fries. I found the grape leaves a little too soggy but still a fine bite. They also had Jarritos, and the mandarin one was a great pairing (my favorite!). Lastly, the spinach pie, which was another highlight that packed great flavors. As a kid who hated spinach, this dish will likely win you over too. In an area filled with chains and fast food, this was a refreshing local treat. Be sure to stop in and fill up to your heart's content at this affordable restaurant.

    Friendly staff and good food at an incredible price point. It's hard to find quality food at an affordable price these days, but Athenian Deli does it. Our group shared the stuffed bell pepper, skewer combo, and eggplant parm sandwich. Everybody loved their food. Try the Pastel De Nata for dessert. I could eat those all day long! Tony came out and gave my kids a peanut butter cookie, which they loved as well.

    Freshest food you'll find. Always delicious , rotating specials & best hot dogs in Rhode Island. Service is fast and always accommodating. The new restaurant has the same charm as the old location but much more space and better parking solutions. From bbq ribs to Greek salads , 10/10 you won't be disappointed

    Stuffed pepper with beef and mixed veggies combined.

    Winner! Winner!! Grecian Dinner!!! Tasty stuffed pepper with stewed veggies and wonderful white rice. Paid a little over $22 and this included two drinks and a small bag of chips.

    Took waaaayyy too long to try this place out! From the outside it is nothing to behold, but step in and the delicious smell hits you in the face and makes you salivate. Mmmmmm, wow. Step up to the counter on your right, place your order, grab a table and they will call you when the order is ready. There is a menu overhead, behind the counter and paper menus are available on the counter. Or just peruse the cases to see what's on offer that day. They have 'regular' menu items and 'daily' items ready to go in the warming trays behind the counter. Daily specials include Monday meatloaf, Tuesday stuffed pork chip, Friday baked scrod and so on. Every day dishes include baked macaroni & cheese, Shishkebob, lasagna, soups, salads and sandwiches. There are so many options it took us a while to decide and we definitely need to go back to try more. We placed a take away order (.40 surcharge per local ordinance) of way more food than we could eat in one sitting. I enjoyed the gyro: a veal/lamb loaf on a grilled pita w/tzatziki, tomato and onion. The spinach pie was very filling; definitely enough for a quick, hand held lunch. The pastry is very flaky and it is stuffed with spinach, ricotta and feta. My preference would be more spice, still it was good and I hoovered that thing. The marinated beef plate was very good. The meat tender, the rice tasty. Putting my salad in a separate container would have been nice to keep it cool. I ordered a side of tzatziki and this stuff is *loaded* with garlic! Wow! If you love your tzatziki with lots of garlic, you will *love* this version! Everything we tried was well prepared and tasty. I look forward to our next order.

I was served a sandwich on bread that tasted like it had been left in the refrigerator for weeks past its prime. The meat wasn't quite rancid yet, but it was extremely dried out and didn't taste good. Then, although I did not have sauce on my grinder, there was a slimy concoction between the bread and the meat. It was extremely inedible and unfortunately, just a waste of money. I was a little taken back by the fact that the typically clear deli case is painted all black so that you can't see inside. The "salads" (potato and macaroni) do not appear to be homemade which is most likely why it comes with a hefty price tag ($3.99 for an 8oz container). The price point and taste could be improved if it was homemade because there's too much sugar in them and they are overall just "blah." They seem to do decent business though because a lot of people came in while I was there. The prices are not any better than other establishments so I feel like they could do better in ways such as improving quality. After this experience, I feel like I would rather have gone to Subway because at least the ingredients would have been fresher. Nothing tends to stand out from this visit, other than customer loyalty. But in the sense where every customer should be treated the same and no customer should get week old meat and month old bread, there's definitely room for improvement.

The place looks new and very clean. The girls working there were friendly and quick to bring your items to you.

The place is super bright, airy and open - seating lining the wall as well as a few comfy arm chairs with tables and more seating past the ordering counter. Service was very friendly - everyone was warm and full of smiles. For sammiches, we ordered the Italian and the Chicken Parm. For coffees, we got the Rhody latte and honey latte. I snuck in a potato salad and brownie - who's counting calories at this point? We opted to eat in so grabbed a seat and our sammiches came out 5-10 mins later. The chicken parm - chef's kiss! It was super tasty with a good amount of sauce overflowing on top of the fried chicken cutlets. It was so good I was tempted to order one to go and it was a good sized portion! The mister got the Italian, although not the best we've had still very good - good portions as well. The potato salad was meh - could use a pinch of salt. The lattes weren't bad - I didn't mind my honey latte but the mister was just ok with the Rhody latte - he felt with the autocrat syrup, it was fighting with the espresso flavor. All in all - I would absolutely come back for another chicken parm sammich and would like to try some of their other options.

What they offer is a big variety of deli sandwiches and menu items that are all fresh and delicious. This is a great getaway from the "Sysco" type food" you get at the fast food and fast, casual restaurants. This is a family owned place that takes pride in making you happy. By coincidence both of us selected the "godfather" sandwich. They give you a choice of either soft roll or hard roll. We both went with a hard roll. On this sandwich you get. grilled chicken, prosciutto, melted, sharp, provolone cheese, red peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Just writing this review makes me wanna go right now and get another one. Topped off lunch with an orange soda. The owner is a third generation family member. He cares very deeply about the quality of food and it's freshness. We will definitely be back.
