Kalamata chicken & Greek fries, Tina Fey's fave
"This neighborhood Greek restaurant is one of our favorite spots in all of Chicago. You can’t beat it for the price (very low), atmosphere (super casual), and quality of food (excellent). The sauce on the chicken kalamata dinner is something special, and the gyros and skirt steak are just as good. If you haven’t already eaten at Athenian Room 100 times, you need to change that." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"This neighborhood Greek restaurant is one of our favorite spots in all of Chicago, and it happens to be very affordable. In fact, you’d have to work pretty hard to spend over $30 here. The chicken kalamata dinner is something you should order, and the other dishes (like the gyros and the spanakopita) are just as good. As for alcohol, you can buy it at the adjacent bar and bring it over. Basically, if you haven’t already eaten at Athenian Room, that needs to change." - josh barnett, adrian kane
"Athenian Room has delicious, incredibly affordable Greek food, and it’s all available for takeout and delivery - including the kalamata chicken, one of the best roast chicken dishes in Chicago." - adrian kane
"If you haven’t already eaten at Athenian Room 100 times, you need to change that. It’s been around since 1972, and continues to be one of our favorite casual Lincoln Park spots. The service is brusque, but the huge portions of reasonably priced, solid Greek food will make you forget all about that. Get the Kalamata chicken, which is roasted and served with chicken jus-soaked fries." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane
"This classic Greek restaurant has been open since 1972, serving locals and DePaul students. Find stellar Grecian chicken (served over fries sopped in jus, so delicious that customers still dream about it), gyros, and kebobs." - Ashok Selvam
