Reviews for Athenian Corner Restaurant in Lowell, MA
Good food, nice and friendly service!
Came from out of town and being Greek wanted to eat in a Greek restaurant. I was a little disappointed with the food. The half... chicken was so dry I could not hardly eat it. Husband had a gyro, which was okay but not the best. The waitress was fine butdid not even know how to pronounce gyro. Best part was the retsina. I have to assume that it is more americanized than Greek.Sad. Read more
Sometimes, mistakes are made, and that's ok. It's ok if an employee has a bad day and maybe isn't as friendly as many expect in... this culture. I didn't experience anything like that here, but what I did experience on my last visit was far worse. When Istopped in to pick up a delivery order, the place was completely packed with people standing in about every possible square footof space. There was a woman spewing right-wing conspiracies into a microphone as some in the crowd expressed their agreement.Clearly, some rally of the uninformed was occurring. How could a restaurant provide a platform for such dangerous rhetoric? Howcould they expect the team members to work under such verbally abusive conditions? You might have the best food I've ever had,but you can be sure I'll never care to find out. Read more
Greek food over live music and belly dancer. Everyone liked the taste of the foods (entree) and finished the whole plate. When... music and dancer starts their performances, it gets really loud and hard to speak with your friends and communicate with thewaiter. They automatically place a 20% gratitude which I think shouldn't be the case. The food is overpriced considering whatyou get. Rice pudding had a lot of problems. It had too much rice and rice was not cooked. Read more
Went here for dinner along with the music and belly dancing. I ordered the Chicken Kabob over Greek Salad and the... Galaktaboureko. Both were good, but the service was a bit slow. The music and belly dancing was good, but the bathroom needs aserious renovation. Read more
We didn?t like the food here. And we didn?t get enough food to justify the high prices. The shrimp salad was iceberg lettuce, 2... tomato wedges and a sad amount of shrimp. The suvlaki sandwiches had 5 bites of grilled chicken (dry and chard) and tzaziki. Notomato, letuce, onion despite us asking for them to be included. The lamb sandwich also had nothing but meat and bread. Theycharged us $5.95 for a sad little box of soggy fries. Seriously the worst fries ever, cold, limp and unsalted. Cafeteria food isbetter than this. As someone who travels to Greece often, the Gyros was that fake American type (defrosted strips, rather thancarved meat). 4 sandwiches, fries and a salad came to $90 with the tip. Seriously underwhelming. I would never order from themagain. And I wish I could take my tip back as the order was wrong and did not include the fixins on the sandwiches. Thewaitress looked seriously annoyed when we entered and asked for food to go. I guess she didn?t feel like working. Read more
The food is absolutely delicious and the portions are very generous. The staff is really friendly and its a very cool... atmosphere. Definitely a must try in downtown lowell. Read more
Party of four and we all had something different. Lamb, chicken, calamara, and a sampler. We left clean plates! Server was... polite, attentive and able to adjust a bit to suit our individual needs. Prices reasonable. Dinner for two was just over $50including tip. Plenty of parking in area make this a place to return to many times. Read more
