Athenian Deli & Restaurant

Good, quality food at a great price! In and out within 5 minutes. Great service!

I have to admit I have only ordered the greek salad (with a side of pita — have to get a side of pita or two!) and I am never disappointed. The staff is super friendly. The price is great. I typically call ahead for pick up and it is always ready when they say it will be. Honestly, I would eat lunch here everyday if it were just a little closer to where I work!

What a little gem! Fantastic gyros and soulvaki. We got the platter and shared it, and it was still a LOT of food! Decent prices and good service. Plenty of seating to stay and eat in or a great place for carry out too.

We stopped here based on the reviews, and boy are we did.
Food is at the counter, but there is plenty of seating. We got the chicken souvlaki platter and the gyro platter. It is the real deal, and made with pride. Absolutely delicious.
The gentleman at the counter was lovely and hospitable. If it wasn’t for living in CT, we would become regulars.

Athenian Deli looks dated when you first walk in. It’s almost as of you are back in time, circa 1989… but you have to look past that because this little gem has great food. If you want mom and pop style home cooking, you will find it here. They have everything from stuffed peppers to American Chop Suey to baked fish. My favorites here is the Greek fare. They have gyros reminiscent of the ones you can get at the Greek festival, in a real pita with all the fixings. My must have each and every time is the Greek salad. I get it with grilled chicken in Greek Island seasoning which gives the chicken a nice flavor. And the best part of that they grill the chicken to order! The chicken then goes on an bed of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots pepperocini, olives and yummy fresh feta. What makes this the best Greek salad in this area is the dressing — it’s an oil based vinaigrette style Greek dressing with herbs and spices. They give you a slice of bread from Superior Bakery next door. This salad won’t disappoint and really is my absolute favorite thing there as well as one of my favorite Greek Salads… Andreas comes in second.

You know when you go somewhere and you know it’s the real deal? That’s this. They have the best Greek food around. No frills, just tasties.
Décor is unchanged from maybe the 80s, but the food is always delicious. They have the best gyro and spinach pies. Everyone is friendly too. I’m sure to come back whenever I’m in the area.

Yeah, worth it. I had the Chicken Souvlaki and it was awesome.
This is order at the counter, but there is plenty of seating. The staff is nice in a northeast, sarcastic, humorous way. I loved them!
This is obviously very different from a regular deli, but well worth the stop.

Everything we have ever tried here we LOVE!
My fiancée is a picky eater and Tracy ALWAYS knows how to make his
steak and chicken pockets!
They have THE BEST spinach pies!

Great little spot in Cranston ! Tony does a great job keeping Hot, Fresh food on his line, ziti and balls to homemade shepherds pie. Mario is Tony’s right hand man and makes sure you get what you want a a enough of it. Greek Salad is must here! Cranston CO“s have this as there hidden gem so should you

Great Staff !

One of my favorite places to go for lunch! I usually get the Greek salad with grilled chicken with jerk seasoning. Always cooked to order and fresh and delicious! Tracy, Tony & Mario are the best!

Sneaky good!!! Never disappointed great staff even better greek salad and there grape leaves are out of this world.

The food was five stars!
I was in here last week and noticed some cross contamination going on at the grill.
The hispanic cook used the spatula on raw steak (for a steak and cheese) and then immediately used it to break up raw chicken. The female cook at least left the spatula on the grill so that should burn off the raw meat.
On the plus side at least we can see they use non frozen meat!

Lovley couple who owns this place. I am new to the area and was looking for a good pita with greek chicken, although it wasn’t on the menu they made it for me and honestly it might have been the best one I have ever had. It’s very clean and quite and they are pleasant people to speak with. They even let me try a grape leaf which I didn’t really like but it was so nice of them to let me try it!

What a wonderful surprise! I always seek out good Greek food wherever I travel to and this place fit the bill. I had Beef Souvlaki, onion rings and a Greek salad with a lemonade and it only set me back less than 14 bucks! The Souvlaki was seasoned to perfection and the Greek Salad even included some peppers and authentic Greek olives. Very much worth the money!
The staff is friendly and the nice lady behind the counter welcomed most of the guests by name. A good indicator there are a lot of regulars.
The place it self is kind of divey but don’t let that fool you — the food is EXCELLENT!

Great place for lunch. I come her on my break from work and really enjoy the Italian grinders. All of the other food I’ve seen order looks great too and the prices are good.

I don’t know how I have never been in here. Just popped in today with my Mom who had eating here years ago saying they made a great Steak Sangwich and truth be told they still do! Loaded with Shaved Steak, Grilled Onion, Mushrooms and Cheese on a Buttered Toasted Roll For under 6 Bucks! So filling I took half home. Gyros are my Jump off and I see most the reviews mention them so I look forward to going back soon to scarf one of those down. Also the staff is super friendly and accommodating a hidden lunch gem for sure

Love their gyros! But husband ordered a chicken parm sandwich and he had to throw it away, it was awful. I guess if the specialty is Greek, stick to it!

First time I went the food was amazing. I’m a picky eater and like to eat heathy food. They accommodate you and the lady is very friendly. I love this place and staff are funny. Cheap food for what you are looking for. I suggest people try it and get a feel for it. I know I did and my whole job I work at loves it.

The place is outdated, but spotlessly clean. The food is fresh, moderately priced, and delicious! It’s fun to watch the staff glide behind the counter. You get the confident feeling that the people preparing your dish really know their stuff. No wasted movement, just smooth professional staff getting it done. chicken Souvlaki platter is my go-​to dish.
