Athenian Corner Restaurant - Lowell Restaurant

Great Dolmades
Have been going there on-and-off for years. I went last week and they must have changed their recipe, or something. What used to be very good dolmades, are now excellent. Of course, their baked lamb remains as good as ever. The only reason I don't go more often is that I'd end up being twice the size, very quickly. I love Greek food!

Great Mezedes
I wish I knew of this place years ago :-( After many years I finally had paidakia the way I had them growing up in Greece - bravo! The flaming cheese saganaki was also excellent, and my wife's pastitsio was also delicious. Didn't have room to try much else. Next trip there will be on a Fri/Sat to listen to the music and see the belly dancers, as well.

Great Spot
The food was good, but what I like the most is the ambiance. I see some don't like it, but to me keeping the "old" tradition is what makes me feel I'm in Greece. That the food is pretty good helps, as well. The service was not bad, the last couple of times I went.

Great Traditional Greek Food
No, it's not what one would find in the nuovo Mediterranean cook books, but then that's not what I was looking for :-) Excellent "Traditional" Greek food, in a "New England" decor (more that Greek). Definitely a place to visit. And the belly dancer was fabuluous.

Excellent Entertainment
The band is absolutely fabulous. The dancers are fabulous. The 'have fun' energy really emerges, especially on Thursday nights. I'm not a big fan of Greek food, but the lentil soup is awesome.

Great Food
The decor is very misleading, and we didn't expect the quality and portion we got. Had octopus for the first time; it was delicious. They even have their own Athenian beer.

You Are Kidding
Want indifferent service? Mediocre food served cold and slow? By all means this is the place.

Good Variety, Great Appetizers
Great service starting at our 7p.m. arrival. The appetizer variety was good, the meatballs and chicken livers probably better than any you've ever have had. We accompanied it with the Greek wine "Corin Blanc" which our party thoroughly enjoyed. The entertainment was just starting as we left but judging from the first set it was going to a very pleasant experience for those just arriving.

Looking for a Good Time
Some of the best Greek food to be found in Massachusetts. Very reasonable prices include entertainment such as belly dancers on T-F-S nights. Loads of fun. Bring the family.
