It’s really difficult to pick a favorite at Athenian Grill because there are so many amazing dishes. I’m picking the Classic Gyro simply because everyone knows roughly what to expect from a gyro. But this is better. Its “classic” is a blend of spit-roasted lamb and beef served with lettuce, tomato, onion and house-made tzatziki sauce. While you are at it, grab one of its fantastic dips, or even better, get the mezze platter, which allows you to try a combo featuring any four of its traditional dips for $10. This is a very large (vegan-friendly) portion, and you can try your choice of hummus, tzatziki, roasted red pepper hummus, scordalia (potato, olive oil, garlic) or htipiti (feta, roasted red pepper and olive oil).
