    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

    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.

    We had not been back to Fili for several months, so when out of town friends visited and wanted to…read morego out to eat we decided to go back for an early dinner. The place looked as good as it ever. We like the decor, the layout and the photographs on the wall. The owner, George, was seated at his usual place by the bar and somewhat surprisingly remembered my name! After settling in and ordering drinks, we decided to share a bunch of dishes (hard to choose from an excellent menu). In the end we settled on the following: Spanakopita, Fasolakia, Patates Lemonates, Souvlaki, a side pita (to mop up some of the flavors), and the ( most expensive dish on the menu at $46) the four delicious Padakia lamb chops. Although we were full we had the Portokalopita for dessert. Our server, Daniel and his helper, were cheerful and attentive. The check came to $45 per person - well worth it. It was an outstanding evening of excellent food with good company: one of the best meals we have eaten in quite a while. One cannot ask for more, and had to give the place a rare five stars. We will return sooner than later.

    Had heard good things and the place was nearly full on a weekday, so expectations were high. The…read morespace is attractive and the menu is all small plates, which we liked. We may have caught an off night. Service was friendly and attentive--especially considering there appeared to be just one server covering the room--but the kitchen was very slow. The delay carried over to our second round of cocktails as well. The biggest issue was the keftedes (our last dish), which unfortunately came out undercooked (rare) in the center. We'll give them another try, as there's clearly potential here.

They have a nice parking lot and the restaurant is clean. We ordered a small cheese and pepperoni pizza, which was made fresh and looked great. I asked if they could do a spinach calzone without the cheese and he said yes but it wouldn't toast well and he wouldn't want to serve it to me. While I commend that, I do love a spinach calzone with no cheese but oh well. I had a falafel bowl instead and the falafel was good and I liked the hummus. The portion was a good size too. I just wasn't a huge fan of the rice pilaf, it tasted more like very lightly seasoned rice and not pilaf. I'd definitely go back and get lettuce and fries as my base or get a falafel wrap. The price was pretty fair too.

    Is this a take-out pizza place, or what?…read more OR WHAT! It really is so much more - we did not order pizza. :) Part of a larger order, I will review my meal (family has not arrived yet for the rest!). This is our first order from Vasilio's although we've been temped by their mail-delivered menus for a long time. Although we do not order out much, this will NOT be our last order with them! I ordered the cheeseburger dinner and a cheese cake wedge for dessert. The burger dinner included an enormous serving of crispy, hot french fries (which was so plentiful I set aside for the other meals), just-creamy-enough tasty cole slaw, and a beautiful burger. I mean picture-perfect. So sorry - I was halfway through before I realized it was photo perfect! Well-cooked, juicy, and full of flavor, the vegetables were fresh (curly full-leaf lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onion, with ketchup, mayo, and cheese - I declined pickles) the burger was large and satisfying. Cut in half, it still took two hands to handle properly. The cheese cake is served with no topping. With all due respect, none is needed! The graham cracker crust in this particular pie slice is thick and buttery moist, fresh, not crumbly or soggy. The filling is piled high, creamy, rich yet light and just sweet enough. I was shocked at the delicious rich flavor and quality! Serving size? Just over 2 inches at its widest and about 5 inches long to the wedge point. Could only eat half, although my taste buds wanted to eat more, ha! After I had my fill (having leftovers), family still hadn't arrived, so I put their sandwiches in a warming area. Sandwiches were still warm! This was an excellent experience. Many thanks, Vasilio's! Delicious meal on such a stormy night. Even the delivery driver, Yolanda, was a joy!
