Don’t worry about the looks! Yes, it’s in a strip mall.. and yes the decor is shall we say, sparse.. but it was impeccably clean and staff was welcoming!
We started with appetizers, our first two choices were not available, the calamari and the spanakopita. So we got the hummus and the crab stuffed mushrooms. The hummus was ok, I’m not a fan of a lot of olive oil over the top but decent flavor. The crab stuffed mushrooms were decent. Had a strong lemon flavor and zero crab, but as a stuffed mushroom it was a bright tasty version.
Our main course, the reason we came to Athens, the gyros! As with the appetizers, we were told they didn’t have any fries. Which was the side that comes with, so I asked for maybe a salad instead. Which just caused pure confusion to our poor server. But to our surprise, both came out with fries! Which honestly, were fried perfectly, crispy outer edge and soft fluff inside! On to the important part though, the gyros! OMG!! These were on point! So similar to the ones we loved when we lived in Florida. Absolutely delicious! They actually split the pita and stuff it, veggies then they piled the meat on top, oh and plenty of tzatziki sauce! I chose to dig around with my fork to mix the meat and veggies, my wife ate as assembled, do as you wish. These gyros are huge and perfect!
We were too stuffed to eat the baklava with our meal, but let me tell you.. I devoured that incredible sticky flakey deliciousness later at home! Wow!
While we usually try to find something new to eat each trip to Jonesboro, we will at least be getting a few gyros and baklava to take home next time we are in town!
The fajitas were great, seasoned well, and the rice with this one had the seasoning mixed with it so tasted delicious. I thought I would try the gyro, as I’ve never been a fan of it at other restaurants. I will say the flavor was great, just still not a fan of the texture which is no fault of the restaurant. The setup and decor really isn’t anything special, and there were a few cleanliness issues like tomatoes in the floor when there were only 3 tables in the restaurant. Staff was attentive but could have also cleaned some instead of sitting down and talking while tables were dirty, trash and food in the floor. The only negative was the crab cake which was the whole reason we initially went. They were soaked in grease making them impossible to finish eating, left a grease film in your mouth. Took them home and will rewarm and drain. Other than this, we will be back.
