Athenian Room

Amazing food. This is personally one of my favorite places. I travel all over and this place stays consistent. It’s my first stop always when arriving in Chicago. It is the best food I ever had in my life. There is no better and there is no changing my mind. I highly recommend coming here. You have to get the wine steak the half chicken the Gyro and feta burger

We tried the highly recommended Greek caviar and it was an unexpectedly pleasant experience. Great feta and olives as well. The real banger was the skirt steak and fries. Tender and juicy, the meat along with the fries are perfectly smothered in a zesty, herbaceous, lemony sauce. Just perfection all around. An absolute lovely time here. Quality food. Lively atmosphere. Fast service. Generous fixes for fantastic prices. Cash only.

Chicago staple! Platinum level authentic Greek food that every local loves. Bring your appetite and enjoy the Kalamata Chicken and Skirt Steak drenched in their famous secret juices! Stop by you won’t regret it! Bring cash!

I love rotisserie/roasted chicken so much because it is the world's food. It is the same basic chicken, with all different cultures and regions of the world bringing their own unique twist to it. The Peruvians prepare it drastically different than the Chinese who prepare it drastically different than the French, and so on. It's beautiful if you really think about it. All this to say I was beyond excited when Athenian Room, a no frills cash only Greek restaurant, was the most recommended rotisserie chicken spot in Chicago. I couldn't even remember the last time I had a bird from a Greek spot, so I was ready to see what the Greeks had to bring to Chicken Wars. I walked into the dimly lit tavern-like ambiance and sheepishly asked "Table for 1..?" I got seated at a 4 top which I felt terribl

Athenian Room is amazing. Owner Alex and manager Marci and Vasily and Matti and Alethea are very nice. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. I like how attentive the staff is and how nice the atmosphere is. Cash only and ATM next door. The skirt steak literally melted in my mouth! Amazing gyros and Greek chicken and fries. Must come back. 10/10.
