What People Are Saying About Athenian Room

In Short
Plants hang in the windows and regulars get their own coffee refills in the dimly lit, arched-brick interior of this DePaul student hangout. A whole slew of salads and sandwiches--mostly variations on gyros, pitas and kebabs--highlight the inexpensive Greek-American menu. Highlights include Kalamata dinners like the chicken breast shish kebab: Two skewers of spicy roasted chicken chunks separated by thin slivers of onion and pepper, a pile of tomatoes and onions, plus a generous helping of mouthwatering Greek fries.

Best skirt steak I've ever had. My hubby and the friends we were with all got gyros, but not being a huge gyro eater, I got the skirt steak. i reheated it about 2-3 times and it was still tasty!

It ain't fancy, but the food is great. If you don't dig on the surroundings, you can order your Greek chicken (which is very good - a half chicken in a Lemon Wine Sauce for $7.25), burger, fries, gyro plate or whatever else you are craving. The room lacks the colorful flair of most Greektown restaurants, but is superior in terms of a casual, family environment. Average meal costs about $12.
