They owner manager appears to be a nice and reasonable person but i believe the hardships of the economy have lead him to implement cost saving attempts that have negatively impacted then quality of food. On more than one occasion we have been served the skin of the spick of gyro meat which, when new meat is placed on the stick to cut off, it is the really really tough outside and barely edible. Instead of the generous slices of meat, they cut the narrowest slices like strips of torn cloth. This is not the gyro meat i ate as a child. Next the pita bread was beyond stale; no doubt it is expired. It was extremely tough to chew. Most upsetting was the watery tzatziki sauce obviously given in that way to save money; the sauce is tasteless. Finally there was oil in the bottom of my container NEVER seen that before. So after returning the inedible meat for some meat that wasn't from the outside of the Spick, we attempted to eat this food and it made us sick. I had the worst indigestion. I don't know what was in that mystery tzatziki sauce, but it gave me a very bad upset stomach. My husband Ended up throwing out his food as did I. Unfortunately, after eating their on and off for the past 16 years that we've been married and living here, we will not be eating there any longer. I know that being a business owner is tough. I know that they have to be creative and fine ways to cut cost. However, they have to ask them sales will it ultimately cause them to lose business Because not only am I no longer eating there, I used to DoorDash from there when I had company, we won't be doing that any longer or referring people. Our health is the most important thing that we can take care of next to our children and of course, even more so our relationship with Christ. I can't risk my health eating food that is improperly prepared so someone can make as much money as possible in their business selling that food. It is on fair. From now on I'll be cooking from home a lot more on the weekends to prep for the week so I don't need to do these last-minute stops in the middle of the day for my lunch and my husband's dinner, it's unfortunate but it is a lesson well learned and $31 That I unfortunately just flush down the drain because I also paid a tip. read more

The food is top tier here. Gotta get the gyro loaded fries they're easily the best fries in my opinion. An underrated spot in NWI. Friendly service as well. read more

I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting, but the gyro tasted like any gyro sandwich I could have anywhere. The portion size was pretty good, but their Greek Style fries were insane! They were absolutely delicious, I couldn't stop eating them. I would definitely be back again for those fries because I can't stop thinking about them now. read more

I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was thin and very dry. I also had a gyro and the meat was really oily. It was disgusting. read more

Got the gyro with cheese and grilled onions, it wasn't it. If your looking for it go down the street. I haven't had anything else on the menu it may be good not sure. Service was nice tho. Restaurant was clean and nice also. read more

The food was worth the money!! I purchased the pita sandwich with fries. my daughter got the big chicken sandwich with Greek fries which was out standing. When I go back I am going to get the the sauce which was on the greek fries on my pita. Yummy read more

Small hole in the wall eatery that you don't want to miss if you like Greek food or if you haven't eve tried it before. Lots of options form traditional falafel and gyros to "American food" And everything in between . You can "build your own" allowing you eat as you like. The people were very nice and if you leave hungry it is totally your own fault. Portions are huge. Baklava really hit the spot as well. We left full and had left over for another meal. Check them out ! read more

Great food, authentic, plentiful and delicious! Good service, too. Glad to see a family business continuing to thrive in NWI.

Our delivery was incorrect, 3/4 meals looked like they were thrown in the containers added to being already incorrect was a real disappointment and the gyro sauce wasn't very good imo. Definitely sad because our first order was yummy.This was the second and definitely the last. read more

I didn't even know this store existed until I started delivering for Door Dash. I picked up a delivery a few days ago and it included a pita quesadilla. MAN. When I tell you the smell was the best kind of smell. It lingered for hours after that delivery and by the end of the night, I decided I HAD to try one of those myself! So I did, last night. This is one of the only times I've smelled a food and it tasted better than it smells! I had the gyro meat one, and all those flavors blended together beautifully. Not to mention the Greek fries that accompanied the quesadilla were a delight as well. I plan on coming back to try this place again! If you want traditional or even innovative Greek food, this place is your best bet! read more

I love this place. Gyros are good. The Zues burger is gigantic, and their greek fries are addicting. I just started to try their chicken sandwiches. Not disappointed!!! The slaw is sweet and creamy and the acid from the pickles cuts the richness of it. read more

Athens Pita - Athen chicken sandwich!! Awesome - Mediterranean Near Me - Munster, Indiana

Food was rushed so it was cold . The cook made my sandwich before asking me what Did i want on it ,then he takes a cold pita bread on Luke warm chicken sitting in a warmer already-cooked (not grilled on spot) after my sandwich was made i said that i wanted cheese this brilliant cook slap a piece of American cheese on top of a cold sandwich [its a big NO for me] ! read more

Athens Pita - a piece of pizza on a piece of paper - Mediterranean Near Me - Munster, Indiana

If you close @10 and I walk in at 8:59 why stay open if you're not talking anymore orders ,, what a waste of a twenty minute ride

I've been here just once, but I was really impressed. There's a large menu with typical staples like gyros and burgers, but also some interesting items like a huge fried chicken sandwich, a Greek "quesadilla" made between two pitas, and (my favorite) a bowl that you can customize Chipotle-style with your choice of meats/rice/toppings/sauces. If you don't feel like a pita, you should absolutely try their bowls. The base is typically a flavorful, lightly-seasoned long grain rice, but you can skip the rice if you'd rather focus on lettuce/veggies. There are several different protein/meat options, such as gyros, chicken "yeero" (stacked boneless chicken which slow-cooks on a spit), falafel, and a few others. When your bowl is ready to be topped, they'll call you back for you to pick your toppings (nice assortment of veggies, pickled things, cheeses, and sauces). Then they top the bowl with a toasted pita. Not exactly low carb if you get both the pita and the rice, but it's so delicious. One of their featured items is called the Athens Chicken Sandwich. Kind of a confusing name, as it's a fried chicken breast dipped in buffalo sauce, topped with cole slaw and pickles. But the chicken itself was outstanding. Crispy, dark exterior but super juicy inside. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Their fries are hand-cut, fried when you order. I'm not the biggest fan of hand-cut fries, but these were great, and topped with a light seasoning (kinda curly-fry-ish). They also have greek fries, which looked interesting -- not just the typical feta and herbs, but also some sort of creamy sauce. I could dock them a star for being a little slow, but they're new, so I'll cut them some slack for the time being. The people in there with me who were just trying the gyros got served pretty quickly. But I had three things to my order and, instead of starting everything at once, the cook made things one-by-one. I ended up having to wait over 15 minutes for my takeout order. But I think they'll get into a groove here. read more

Ordered a gyro plate, asked for extra meat, it was maybe enough for one large sandwich, 18.00 dollar, not worth it could have gotten way more somewhere else read more

Maaaannnn let me tell you something. I'm picky about my food. I know great food and i can NEVER find anything around NWI that wows me, but this place did! I've been craving some Gyros for the longest but never trusted anything around here. I've heard of this place since it first opened, but never took the chance because i get sooo mad when I spend money on nasty food! Today my Husband and i finally gave it a shot and I'm so glad we did! Everything on the menu looked really good, but of course we had to get the gyro sandwich. Everything came out to be around $20 which is pretty good especially in this economy. They hook you up with a lot of meat and a good amount of fries! Thanks for that by the way! The meat is tender and flavorful and for the price, the portion was more than plenty! Also the cashier that helped us was really nice to us. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! read more

this is our go-to spot when we need some great food fairly quickly - sure the gyros are good but what makes Athens stand out is their burgers and pizza well that's what i call it anyway technically they call it their Greek Quesadilla but omg it is as big as a small stuffed pizza!!! You can choose what u like in it as well and makes for great & easy leftovers! The Zeus burger is awesome as well! Eat it there fresh if u can or at least asap if u get it to go otherwise yeah the bun will get a bit soggy due to all the great stuff they pack onto it! Either way can't complain because the guys certainly don't hold anything back! Always friendly and always good...oh and don't forget to try the greek fries too - it looks pretty wild but omg ssssoooo delicious! read more

Let me start with 2 words. The first is can't, and the other is won't. Can't suggest that whatever endeavors you strive toward, you may come under significant difficulties. Example: I could attempt to fly just by flapping my arms vigorously. Now the laws of gravity dictate that would be a folly and I would look just silly. Now won't suggest that it is possible, but I choose not to do it, which is why I give this place 1 star. I had just finished a awful appetizer at another location and wanted to eat something good. I inquire if it's possible to get a "de-constructed " gyro sandwich instead of a full plate order. The amount of food is less along with the price. I was informed that they CAN'T do that. Why not? This is how you do it. Gather up all of the ingredients you need to make the sandwich........then DON'T MAKE THE SANDWICH!!!!!! Put it in the same container that you would put the gyro meal in, let me save a couple of bucks and you have a sale. So I believe the word you are looking for is WON'T, like I won't be coming back to your establishment, by choice. See the difference? read more

The food here is delicious...I had the pita fries along with a lamb cheeseburger burger combo ...That burger was Hugh.. I couldn't eat it all.. I had to save some for the following day, and it was still equally good.. I normally don't like carrot cake, but my son ordered it anyway... It was amazingly good too..When traveling to Indiana, I'll definitely be returning for some of this goodness.. read more

Food is good. I ordered in advance. When I showed up 30 minutes later I told them who I was and what I ordered and they said they didn't have it ready but they would make it. Waited 20 more minutes, another employee came through the door and said my order had been ready since before I showed up. They just didn't see it sitting on a back counter so I had to wait while they made it all over again read more

walked in to make my order it was a less than 10 min wait for my food and the food was HOT and fresh. so so good. my food was perfect and the pita bread here is A-mazing read more

See all

Stood there without being addressed for a while before being waited on, then after putting in my simple gyro order I had to witness an argument before starting my order. Probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had considering I was the only customer in the place in their second week of opening. read more

Food was great. Service was excellent. Very clean and very friendly staff. They take pride in the preparation of their food and genuinely want you to enjoy your visit and food. read more

Dry chicken No feta as it says on the menu for the chicken platter. Apparently can not read the instructions that said PLAIN HAMBURGER they sent a cheeseburger with everything on it. (For a kid that is lactose intolerant) also forgot the drinks. Too many hands in the pot,grubhub yelp and athens together it took three of you to mess up a simple order. Congratulations, all three of you including the driver who didn't check the order for the drinks are remedial. read more

What more can I say? It's a gyro joint with great gyros. Big portions, great bang for the buck. My buddy had the spicy chicken sandwich and loved it. Definitely will visit again when I'm in the area. read more

This one-month old restaurant is owned by a delightful gentleman who is friendly and engaging. I had a falafel on pita, which was excellent, although it could have use a little more tahini sauce. I am not necessarily a fan of pickles on my falafel but their pickles were excellent. I would definitely go back for the falafel or try some other items. read more

Gyro is not the best it's merely ok. The Yeero, however, is an OUTSTANDING wrap. The Athens chicken sandwich is unbelievably good. The Cole Slaw helps negate the spiciness just enough and the pickles add in the perfect finish. It would also be mentioned that the chicken that they use is very juicy same flavorful. Do not skip on this place read more

Will NEVER order from there again. Yesterday was the first and LAST! Food was cold, soggy, void of flavor, and a rip off. My dad ordered a chicken gyro... there was barely any meat in it at all. My mom & sister ordered greek salads. They had no dressing, no cheese, and tasted like they had been tossed in water. My mom had a grilled chicken sandwich that was super bland. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and was not impressed at all. The fries were soggy and cold as well. read more

I'm so glad they reopened for takeout the food here is great! We got a chicken sandwich (which was huge!) and a chicken zinger wrap and they were both delicious. The owner even gave us a chicken bowl to try while we were waiting for our food and that was phenomenal. I'll definitely be back soon to eat here again. read more

Delicious. I've been meaning to try out Athens Pita since they opened. I finally made it. I'm so glad I did. The rice bowl was delicious! Fresh veggies, chicken and the rice was perfect! I can't wait to be back to try more items off the menu! And the staff was super friendly! Highly recommend! read more

The boss was rude and wasn't wearing his mask properly. I did not enjoy the food. You spend your heard earned money only to be disrespected.

Wow! The food and customer service was great here! We ordered a chicken pita, a bowl, fried pickles and the Greek fries. Everything was amazing. I've never had Greek fries before and now I'm obsessed. Fried pickles had so much flavor unlike some places where it's all breading. Great portion sizes too! The cook who I think is the owner was very nice. We will definitely back a new favorite spot. read more

We picked up food from Athens Pita for lunch one day and it was fantastic! Both kids had cheeseburgers (because what else would you order at a Mediterranean restaurant?) and I was super impressed with the quality of the burger, it was delicious! My husband ordered the gyro plate and said it was good, I got the falafel and it was also good but my favorite thing was the fries. Oh man, those were good fries. They make everything to order so it was all super fresh. read more

I've called them on no less than 5 separate occasions no less than 10 times each trying to order and never once have I gotten an answer. I'm a pretty understanding person specifically with the service industry so if this was a one off on a Saturday at 6pm that'd be one thing but if you're not going to ever answer your phones at least have the online ordering function operating. I'd be happy to change this review if I call in the future and actually get an answer or even if the online ordering is fixed but this is just poor operations management. read more

I am so happy that I stopped in today to give this new place a try! It was AMAZING!! I ordered the shawarma bowl and a side of their famous fries! This place is to die for! The ingredients are so fresh and the portions are huge! (Although I ate the entire meal in one sitting because it was that good!) NWI has been waiting for a place like this and we finally got it! Staff is extremely friendly, clean and cozy environment, and very reasonably priced! Athens Pita is my new favorite spot! Definitely recommend this place!! Thank you! read more

Love this spot! I only gave 4 stars because they forgot to put one of my food items in the bag

The customer service is very pleasant! Food is prepared in a timely fashion and taste divine!!! Great menu of choices...I did the humming and the happy dance on my first bite! Now that's quality food!!! Heyyyy!!!!! read more

The food is usually amazing,but this time around it was the total complete opposite of what I normally experience. I ordered the quesadillas with the Greek fries. Very thin,cold,lack of cheese. The fries were weird,kinda brownish with not all the toppings. The usual staff wasn't in there,that probably had a lot to do with it. The food was I really hope this was just this one bad time because I like this place a lot. If it continues to happen,I'm done. Thanks. read more

The food is always so fresh and delicious! I almost always get the gyro plate and it is an excellent value. I recently tried the quesadilla and the cheeseburger and they were both very good! It was the best burger I have had in a while. I will definitely get it again. read more
