The Athenian in Nottingham

We've been regularly ordering from the Athenian for the past few years and boy did this place get trash fast! Via Deliveroo tonight they took nearly 2 hours before ringing us to tell us a driver who was meant to collect our order had done so but not signed off on it, then told us we needed to cancel the order even though this is something they need to do on their end. Deliveroo's crappy customer service aside it was finally cancelled and we were told this was done and the restaurant "couldn't make us another order" which actually reveals they didn't have the stuff to make the order to begin with. Guy on the phone was pretty disinterested and tbh I'm so disgusted we won't be ordering from them again.

This place has gone severely downhill recently. The food is bad, then menu is halved, and the last straw tonight paying £3.95 for a tiny portion of chips in when you used to get a box full for the same price, and £7.95 for about 6 small halloumi fries absolute rip off. Such a same as this used to be my favourite takeaway

Shocking food and presentation, nothing like the real gyros in Athens.

Terrible, unreliable, unresponsive

We use the Derby branch often via Uber Eats. Great vegan and veggie option and the oregano chips are superb. Always hot and fresh.

Ordered through deliveroo. This place gave me terrible food poisoning!

Got the Greek sandwich and they delivered it with no filling in. No refund either

Cold and terrible portions for the money. Just awful.

Very disappointing experience!!! Nottingham branch needs immediate action and further staff training .A friendly advice..no need of using old rotten vegetables, we can do without them if not fresh.

Hands down this food was mint 👌 I've crohns disease and have not wanted to go loo if you know u know 😋

We have ordered many times but this was the last. Way overpriced and portions have changed, we both ordered the same protein and they were completely different texture so ended up leaving the rest due to complete lack of trust now. Won't buy from here again and don't reccomend anyone with allergies take the risk.

Have ordered a couple times before and they are usually reliable but on this one occasion, I had ordered from them they decided to only send me half the food that I had ordered. So they basically stole £24 from me to put it bluntly. I won’t be ordering from them again, and if you are reading this review I’d recommend you don’t either, very overpriced for what’s basically just average food.

Appalling! Food was cold, unlabelled so wasn't able to distinguish between the vegan and non vegan orders and portion sizes were abysmal to say the were nearly £18 each! I could literally count the amount of fries in the box on my hands! And I know take away food is not the healthiest but the amount of grease (which had also gone cold 🤢) was disgusting. Will not be ordering from again

The company and deliveroo drivers have no respect for the surrounding area leaving rubbish everywhere

£36 for two gyros 2 drinks and fries Hardly any meat , cold food, never ordering again !! AVOID

Like many others have said. The food is okay quality, but for the price it's not worth it at all. Prices should probably be about 75% lower at least to reflect the amount you get

Ordered from here and had mixed feelings. Yes the food that you get is tasty, but there isn't much meat given to you it isn't very generous portions.

Bad value for money. Had a takeaway and paid £41 for 2 kebab rolls and chips. Food was OK but very bad value avoid avoid avoid

The highlight of my 3 years in Nottingham. I dread to think how much money I've spent on the Athenian but its so worth it. I'm a keen meat eater with a vegetarian partner and I can say the vegan options are just as amazing as the meat. The gyros are packed full and it's great value for how filling the food is! I'd highly recommend the tomato croquettes and Athenian sauce!

Everything was delicious like we expected

Amazing food, ordered and came so quickly. Will be ordering again

Best gyros I have had on a long time! The origano chips are delish and although I got a bit squished the tiramisu was also beautiful and full of flavour! Would highly recommend 🤤

Once a star deliveroo I'd order from every week through lockdown, now pitifully inconsistent. Kitchen staff have gotten worse/overburdened since opening day and the fries are regularly undercooked, the gyros regularly sodden with oil. Mind, all the amazing flavours are the same as launch day, it's just a gamble (with very bad odds in my experience) whether you get the 5-star food or an undercooked, soggy mess. I wouldn't be surprised if this was one fired or hired chef away from being consistently excellent again, just don't know if they're overworked or underskilled.

Ordered pita gyros and it was so tasty

the worst gyros I’ve had. £50 for 2 meals and deserts. Food stinks. Deserts looked nice but had to bin them after trying the food.

Incredible food, so much flavour! So much food for the price, would 100% reccomend! Will definitely be ordering from here again very soon!

They deliver every time on quality and time! The taste is amazing, I’m addicted. 100% recommend the chicken gyro with tzatziki deal… amazing!!

Order in. Quite basic. Rather bland. Not amazing food.

Overpriced for what you get. The gyros is full with chips, not to much meat. The taste is notting special.

Tasty fries, close to home worthy place.

Food came stone cold, chips dry, no meat in the wrap. Delivery driver got lost couldn’t follow simple instructions

This place is actually so good I love everything there apart from the halloumi as it’s too salty. Can’t wait to get it again!!

Fresh tasty food! So filling and worth the money. Will deffo be ordering this again

Superb meal. Soo fresh and so filling!

Deliveroo refunded us £47.00 straight away after we put a complaint in. Food was a soggy mess, cold,hardly any meat, pots the sauce come in had been melted somehow..will not be ordering from Athenian again

Really nice chicken gyros Will definitely come back to this place!

Just vile!!!!!!!! Squeaky halloumi totally tasteless fries were a soggy mess. Absolutely horrific and total waste of money. About to set to and make something to eat.

Food is 15/10 and always grateful for the treats✨✨

Amazing food but delivery only, so don't try and go to the restaurant.

I’ve ordered the Chicken Beast gyros twice through Deliveroo and it’s gorgeous🤤. Would only say that the halloumi doesn’t have much flavour and it could be a bit bigger for the price, will definitely order again though

Loved athenian for ages!! But best order yet!! Free chocolate and tasty as always xx Thank u 🥺

Super tasty vegan food ordered via deliveroo. Good quality so don't mind paying that little bit extra.

Great food! Tasty, always arrives warm and on time & the meals are big & filling.

I ordered through Delivero and I have to say that I have been disappointed. £10.5 for a mini gyros called 'the beast'... what a joke! NOT FUN! Full with chips, two halloumi fries that are unsalty, two side slices of tomato and probably a few cuts from a lettuce leaf with some pretty tasty chicken with skin. The taste was not bad at all, but the size and the lack of salad made me give them one star .... it is quite disappointing for a £22 bill with a drink, some extra saggy chips and a slice of cake.

Really nice Gyro wrap, oregano fries good, will def order again

Over priced low quality. The Beast box is tiny. Just go to the local kebab shop - they would the same ingredients, it will taste better and be hot, and a third of the price.

Had delivery of the beast (seitan and halloumi) gyros and the 'this isnt' chicken gyros, honestly what a delicious meal. Much higher quality than many other delivery/takeaways out there, really happy with portion sizes and the BREAD WAS SO SOFT. Would definitely recommend and order regularly.

They canceled my order last minute after waiting 40 minutes! Not happy!
