The Athenian in Tower Hamlets

Great vegan fast food with reminders of Greek pitta me gyro! The fries were too small for a portion but the food for a fast food dinner on the go is good enough. Will be back for more!

Came here based on raving reviews on Google Maps, but turned out they were overly enthusiast. Written, I guess, by office workers in Canary Wharf who are too used to their daily Pret a Manger junk. Had a gyros, bland and boring. It was prepared and served quickly though. The lady at the cash register hardly spoke any English.

Very poor customer service. Ordered 2x Vegetarian Wraps, 2x Cokes and 1x Cheese Croquettes through Uber Eats. Waited 70+ minutes for the food to arrive. When it came, we had 1x Lamb Wrap and some wet and soggy sweet potato fries and the bag said Simmon on it. Spoke with the driver, told him the order is wrong. He said that's what he was given. Maybe you guys should double check the orders before you make people wait an hour for a lamb wrap. Thanks for the lamb wrap!

Met my husband at work and decided to go down to the mall for some dinner. Someone from his job mentioned they put a food court type places in the mall. We decided to try the Athenian, we both ordered the same lamb & chicken skewers. The food was excellent and not expensive. Both of us ate every drop off our tray and said we will be back to this place. I will bring my sister when she comes to visit.

Canary Kitchen opened underneath my work tower and I went in for a place to grab lunch, this place had the longest line and I’m glad I joined it to find out why. Incredible! I love Greek food and this place tastes like you’re in Crete eating the real deal, even if you’ve grabbed something to run back to your desk with on a cold and grey London day. It’s a good dream to have to get you through! You can eat in here as well, the plates look amazing. They even have a fridge with Greek chocolate and drinks to purchase, must be great for the homesick Greeks that work in Canary. I’ve recommended to work colleagues who love it too. It’s a bit of a wait sometimes, 7 or so minutes, but it’s so so so worth it!
