“lovely couple, great service! food is always warm, and incredibly comforting to have a piece of home with me everyday at work (:“

“The most authentic food in the area! We shared a meze platter, lavash bread and falafel platter today. Everything was absolutely amazing. We can't wait to come back!“

“I never write a review but Ross was friggin Fantastic had great recommendations food was fantastic definitely on my list to go back again“

“We had take out from Yalla’s tonight. We had chicken ke-bobs, stuffed peppers, falafel and a chicken shawarma sandwich. Everything was WONDERFUL! Generous servings (we have enough for lunch tomorrow!), nicely seasoned and very fresh tasting. We will definitely be back!! Thank you!“

“I’m love this spot. The food is fresh and full of flavor. They are still working out the kinks regarding consistency, but the food is DELICIOUS so I do not care if my Greek chicken (I get it with falafel) has too much or too little dressing. The staff is very friendly and offers grace while you’re staring at the menu unsure of what to get.

You should try it.“

“Delicious Mediterranean food. Never a disappointment.“

“I rarely write reviews but wanted to provide constructive criticism because so many things were perfect. I ordered a lamb/beef gyro with fries/tzatziki on the side at 5:30PM on a Wednesday. The fries and tzaziki were exceptional, as was the portion of fries and meat. Unfortunately the meat was very dry, over-cooked and tough. I would prefer for the meat to be higher quality and perhaps less of a portion to compensate for the difference in cost. Not sure if there’s an option to order the meat to be more rare? But regardless it was still tough, dry and lacking in flavor. If this could be improved, it would be the best gyro and one of the best thing’s I’ve eaten. Will try the pork next time.“

“delicious fried chicken 👍👍👍“

“You have to try this place. Very tasty food. Freshly prepared Extra generous portions of meat, huge portion size. Not from the area, but worth the ride. Will be ordering more for sure“

“Being in Lowell for 38 years now I don't often get homesick for New York. But every trip to the Athenian Corner brings me back to the Greek restaurant in my childhood neighborhood with the best Moussaka, Spinach Pie, Greek salads...the music, the people, the belly dancing! So authentic and so good!“

“The baba ghanouj was EXCELLENT. Everything we had here was delicious including falafel, both chicken and beef shawarma, as well as the fattoush and seared halloumi salads. As a Lebanese person, I would definitely recommend! (And thank you, you made my mother's birthday very happy because of the authentic, home-cooked food ❤)“
