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.

Need to accomodate
by LOLAN at Citysearch
Although their manu is diverse and affordable, it isn't always accomodating to clients who because of health or nutrition reasons need to substitute certain items. A flat out rude "NO SUBSTITUTIONS" was said to me when I called to place a Feta Cheeseburger order and asked to substitute the fries for a small side salad. I figured, since I was limiting my carb intake and I felt terrible having to toss those fries out, why not simply ask to have a salad served with my burger instead of the fries!!!! And when I dined in and asked to have the Large Gyro salad and asked them to add Feta cheese, well, let me just say, I wanted to crawl under the table!!! What happened to "the customer is always right!!!!!"???????

Great food, great prices.
by jackpete at Citysearch
One of my friends told me about this place, so I decided to give it a try with my fiance. We both loved it. Friendly service, the food was delicious, and the prices where really reasonable for the quality of the food. Its right in the heart of Lincoln Park, which is a huge plus to us. The steak that I had was mouth watering. I can't get that sauce out of my mind. Its some type of olive oil, vinegar sauce that was to die for. My fiance ordered a hambuger, which seemed like it was a half pound serving(my fiance couldn't finish it as it was too large). She sayed it was one of the best hamburgers she has had in the city. I highly recommend this place.
- Pros: Great food, friendly service, nice area
