The Achilles chicken was slightly overcooked but other than that everything was excellent. I’d recommend the shawarma if getting chicken. The tzatziki was very traditional and some of the best I’ve ever had. Spicy sauce could be spicier. Amazing flavor all around.

New to town and only been twice so far. Staff is polite.. i had so many questions the first time and they were patient. Packed orders in a safe way to ride home on the scooters. Vegan options (and well labeled) The windows are tinted so night it looks closed.. if the open sign is on, they are open. Quick service and really the best Falafel pita i have ever had. Heart shaped falafel! What else do you need? Thanks Achilles!!

Achilles is a casual Mediterranean restaurant not far from Westfield Valley Fair. 4.6 on Yelp and Google. We were nearby and tried it. Nothing wrong with this restaurant if you are within a couple blocks, just not a foodie find worth a longer drive. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Gyro Beef Bowl ($16.99) Greek dish made from seasoned Beef cooked on a vertical rotisserie & sliced, with Hummus and Baba Ghanouj as sides. Good portion size, everything was solid but not exceptional. About what you would expect. I like Hummus Mediterranean better. 7.5/10 - Pita ($1.50) was also average. Falafel ($3.99 for 4 pieces) A vegetarian dish made from ground chickpeas, mixed with herbs and spices were heart shaped and fresh out of the fryer.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Halid Kalkan · Jun 2025

This shawarma wrap wasn't really my style. I felt the strong flavors from the sauce and other fillings, despite my light choices, completely masked the taste of the chicken. The chicken was also quite bland on its own. Others might enjoy it, but it didn't hit the mark for me, still not bad. I could eat again if I'm around and need to fill my stomach

Food and service were absolutely amazing! The Achilles Chicken plate was perfectly seasoned and came with a very generous portion - great value for the price. Falafel came out still hot and fresh. All of the staff working there were extremely friendly and professional. It was my first time there and they were very welcoming. I’ll be back for more!
