Achilles is by far the best Mediterranean food I’ve tasted and what makes it so much better is the customer service that surrounds you. I work for a veteran nonprofit, and I chose Achilles by the sea for a food option. The owner Elias personally reached out to me, and I have never ever received such kindness and support that I received from him. He is such a great guy, and the food that he prepares for his customers is beyond, amazing. I cannot explain how grateful we are for the support of Achilles. The veterans were so grateful and they all complemented on how great the dinner was. So, on behalf of Operation Surf, we want to highlight Achilles by the sea, and the amazing staff that supported our Veterans, staff and volunteers alike. Thank you again and I highly recommend you trying this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

Yum yum I came here for the first time ever just the other day and boy have I been missing out. The spot is super cute and the case of Turkish delights is not only visually appealing but very delicious as well. We had the pita pocket gyro and chicken shawarma and it was soooooo good. Definitely recommend this place if you like Mediterranean region food !!!
Probably the best Greek food I've ever had. The hummus is delicious. They have a wide variety of vegan desserts too.Vegetarian options: There are clearly labeled vegan options for both desserts and entrees.Dietary restrictions: They identify food that is vegan/vegetarian.Parking: There is a free parking lot next to the building.
GREAT FOOD AND GOOD SERVICE ABSOLUTELY ONE OF my FAVORITE PLACESES. Loved the food it's by far one of the best places to get greek food besides like a really expensive dine-in style restaurant. If you want to just go grab it to go in or want a place to grab some Greek food real fast this is the place. It's not a really long wait which I loved and it's has that little mom and pop style restaurant feel to it which really loved about the place. Waffle fries are awesome and the baklava is wonderful all the desserts are great. The staff are really friendly and helpful plus great food makes it an easy top choice for me. Thank you and please keep up the good work.
Loved our experience. Chatting with the owners and getting his recommendations was great. Food was very authentic and a must have for all vegetarians.

I kept hearing great things about Achilles and finally tried it myself... Delicious! Fresh and well put together. Plus an impressive array of baklava and Turkish delight to choose from. This instantaneously became one of my new favorite places in town.
Decent place to grab tasty falafel and halva! Good wraps and combo plates. Limited seating and parking in a clean setting. Outdoor seating available too. Definitely recommend a stop by if you're craving Mediterranean food!Parking: Free on-site parking. Typically able to find a space.

The lady taking our order was very nice and helpful for us. Our food was delicious, I liked it a lot better than another local place that serves similar food. However, I do wish there were a few other options, and that the sauces would be served on the side. The inside felt rather cold and smelt of cleaning supplies. It wasn't terribly welcoming, but we will be back.
