Parthenon Greek American Grill

Nothing special. Ordered falafel sandwich with fries as a to go order. Service was friendly and quick but the quality was mediocre. No real flavor there and generic fries. Not something I’d go back for. They do have a drive thru which is a plus for take out.

I was pleased to find the Parthenon Grill in the West Lafayette area. There aren’t a lot of non-​chain restaurant options and, while I didn’t have a big meal, I found the food tasty. It was a bit past the rush and the counter help was friendly. I tried the hummus, lemon soup and falafel. Not over the top but enjoyable for a quick meal.

This place has NOT recently moved, contrary to indications on Unilocal.It has been remodeled with some new paint and interior separations, which make it look a lot nicer. They also updated the menu a bit with some more Americanized items, like burgers, which will definitely grow their client base. This is my previous review:
Parthenon is delicious! Although quite basic, the food is excellent, authentic, and inexpensive. I always get the gyro. The meat is well-​seasoned and the tzatziki sauce is light but flavorful. My boyfriend loves the falafal. They also have some prepared food that’s packaged to-​go, including their hummus. Unlike other types of hummus, theirs is very creamy without being too oily.
Try the Greek wine! I liked the red.

Saw this driving by, not from the area. It was ok had better gyros. More sauce may have made it better. But nice fast and friendly service.

Food is outstanding. Had saganaki and gyros. Both were great. The highlight was the outstanding baklava!!! If you like Greek food, this is as good as it gets in the area!!!

This is my favorite restaurant in the West Lafayette/​Lafayette area. The gyros are absolutely the best and the other food is also super tasty. The service is quick and the people are very nice!

Had not been to this place for over 20 years. It has moved to a different place and has changed the décor but the food and service was still excellent as before! First you order your food and drink at the front counter and also pay «up front» (before seating)! Then, you choose your seating while they bring you your drinks. Someone will soon bring your appetizers and later your entrees. Here at the Parthenon, they make everything on their premises as well as their own gyros (lamb/​beef) meat, from their family recipe. No greasy gryos meat w/​assorted fillers… Yuck! Their meat was so well-​seasoned and nicely sliced on my platter and wrap! This is also the place where I had my first Spinakotapita and this one is still the best! The Mousaka, Pastitsio, and Stuffed Grape Leaf are simply the Best… and ai don’t know how they get their rice to be so fluffy! The Baklava was drench w/​nuts and honey just like we love it! Thanks for bringing back fond memories!

They’re friendly, quick, and put out homemade food that tastes as fresh as it is. Have gone multiple times and always enjoy the food. Their homemade gyros are delicious, and pairs well with some Greek beer (Alfa). The lemon rice soup was good, too. I wish the dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) held together a bit more, but they were still tasty. They also make a good cup of Greek coffee for those that need a quick pick-​me-​up. The menu is pretty extensive, so I’m sure most anyone can find something to please their palate.

Dropped in for lunch! Had the classic gyro and my daughter the kids version of it. The pita bread was fresh made and good. The gyro meat was plentiful. However, it was lacking something in it, to take it up a notch. I think having more Tsatsiki sauce may do the trick. Maybe I should have asked for more of the sauce on the side to liven it up! My daughter ordered the fries. and that was crunchy goodness. Clean place, attentive personnel (looks like the family runs it) and the prices reasonable. Overall– Not a bad place to grab Greek bites!

My go to Greek place around Purdue. Same as in the original location on Chauncey, now with a bit more flare and more «American» options. Same classic, time-​tested recipes.
At this occasion we had lemon rice soup, spinach pie, the Parthenon platter (a bit of everything), and Vilage chicken. The service was prompt and friendly as always. Food spot on. Moist chicken, moussaka properly spiced, gyro meat moist and flavorful.
Highly recommend this hidden gem to all Boilermakers… makes me want to go back to my college years! Such great memories!
Thank you Parthenon!

Been coming here for years. Always friendly, excellent food. Friday’s they have a leg of lamb that is incredible. As I said the food here is excellent but what tops it off is the customer service. I can’t say enough about how great the service is. The owners are just as friendly and always diving in to help customers.

Good saganaki. Had Greek fries with gyros. Excellent homemade pita I believe. Feta was good and meat was outstanding quality. Definitely a home run and the baklava was one of the best I’ve had.

I love coming here for the authentic Greek food. Since they have moved from Chauncey hill the restaurant has been evolving for the better. After the most recent renovations the place looks great.
