Akropolis Kafe

Good food. Quick service. Nice staff. Decent selection of menu items.
I’ll be coming again.

The service is great — the manager (possibly the owner), is friendly. I ordered a falafel wrap and was very disappointed. The flavor was bland and there was an «old grease» taste to the food. The salad was all ice burg lettuce with soggy tomatoes. Sorry, but I won’t be back.

Not sure why but every time I come here, the place is usually empty. I usually get the chicken pita sandwich. Chicken is juicy and flavorful. Their tzatki sauce is amazing!!! My fiancé usually gets a platter. Fries are good and crispy but obviously previous frozen. Staff is nice and restaurant is clean. This is honestly a hidden gem. I don’t get why more people aren’t here.

Always consistent freshness. Greek salad w/​chk is the perfect lunch. Love their dressing and tzatziki. In restaurant atmosphere is average but the food is great. Recently we’ve been ordering their catering platters to go and set it up as a self serve for family or guests in a casual setting.

The food was good and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly and efficient. Started with the hummus appetizer which was served with piping hot pita bread. Hummus was flavorful but not extraordinary and I wish they had served more pita bread with it. The gyros were full of meat with a flavorful tzatziki sauce. The main reason I gave them 3 stars is because the ketchup bottles which were on the tables were filthy. We were one of the first customers, if not the first customers of the day so no excuse for dirty condiments. Details are important especially when it comes to cleanliness.

Within the past month or so we’ve ordered from this place at least 3x. We don’t eat out often so that’s a lot for us. We order the gyro platter every time. And every time it’s delicious! The food is PLENTIFUL & it’s all so good: gyro, fries, salad & pita bread. Not only is the amount abundant & tasty, but it’s ready in 10 minutes or less– literally. Oh & when you walk in the aroma is heaven!

The food was not as good as I had hoped. I ordered the Spanakopita and they were soggy. I expected crunchy and flaky and was sadly disappointed. Baklava was tasty but not the best

Small place. Looks like Family place with around 10 – 12 tables. No hostess order on front and choose a table to sit. Before food to arrive I guess the owner cane and asked me to move to a smaller table. During whole time only 3 table where busy. Ordered a Gyro plate it came with fries salad gyro on side two small pieces pita bread and tzatziki sauce and salad dressing.
Gyro was good, fries dry and over fried. Side salad green salad with one olive one cucumber and one tomato slice. one half slice red onion. Ordered tee with lemon it came with no lemon.
For me is OK

i think the good ratings must be family/​friends or a system error. bland grilled chicken salads, soggy chicken «fingers» that looked like huge meatballs. falafel pita was mush. fries were served just before burned. this was my second and last time going to this location. I will gladly drive a little farther to go to the Arboretum location (which is consistently good). My family just ate what we could of our meal and threw the rest in the trash. Such a waste of money:-(

I went for a lunch at this place and ordered grilled chicken kabob wrap. It’s really tasty.
Looks like lamb kabob with yellow rice also good. i will revisit again try some other items.

Has this place taken on new management? I went recently and it was not even close to what it was a year or so ago. I was just a little disappointed. I had the Gyro and it was bland and had no crisp to it. I used to love this place. I’m hoping it was just a 1 time thing.

Authentic food and great taste!

First time here, just got two gyros with salad. Everything was very good, meat did not seem «microwaved» and the pita was soft and slightly crispy. Salad was fresh. The woman behind the counter and the one who served us couldn’t have been nicer, coming to check on us a few times. Finally, my SO wanted some more pita and tzatziki, went to order it and they gave him a couple w/​sauce on the house. Maybe the place was just having a bad day when the very unhappy reviewer visited? They seemed very friendly and competent tonight and the food was very good. Will def be back.

I think this place is family owned so they have that personal touch that is really nice. The falafel pita is crazy good. That’s the only thing I’ve eaten here, so if you’re into falafel, this would be the place.
The atmosphere is pleasant enough. It’s a casual eatery and is pretty busy during lunch time, but the service is fast and courteous.

To the ever so pleasant, disinterested child working tonight. You are rude, you are inaccurate and give horrible customer service. The puss face, nasty toned lady on the food side — smiling is free and so is preparing an order THE WAY IT’S ORDERED. To the owner– these two people are hurting your business and I will never return to your establishment.
I have been here many many times before tonight. I live steps away from Zetouni and I like different items on the menu from each. The staff at zetouni is pleasant, attentive and efficient.
There were 2 tables of 2 when I came in. The teenager working doesn’t say hello, doesn’t look up at you. As she’s looking at her phone says «what do you want to order». RUDE. I ordered one of the specials for the night. Gyro sandwich and SALAD. Fine. Seems easy enough for a Greek restaurant no? I nicely asked for extra tomatoes and onions. The nasty lady behind the counter gave me a dirty look as soon as she heard it. Fine.
10 mins go by as I watch the child working stomp her feet around the restaurant in her leggings and Tshirt — very professional. My food is ready and again, without looking up, «utensils?» I reply «no thank you, may I have some tatziki sauce on the side. The nasty one in the back chimes in «that’ll be 70 cents». The child proceeds to turn to me and for the first time actually looks me in the eye «it’s 70 cents». The lady in the back will not hand her the sauce yet. Fine.
I only had a debit card on me so that’s what I handed her. SEVENTY CENTS. she swiped my card for seventy cents. Good luck with that credit card processing fee owner!!! I have NEVER in my life seen anything like this. She slaps the receipt and my card on the counter, nasty in the back hands her the sauce. She puts it on the counter and walks away.
I am really not a difficult customer nor do I expect anything I don’t pay for or deserve. That being said WHEN I ORDER AND PAY FOR SALAD IT’S MIND BLOWING THAT I GET HOME TO FREAKING FRENCH FRIES. ???
What gives here? It’s a shame because the food is actually good. Which is why I gave the extra star but after my experience today– whether they care or not — they have lost me as a customer.
It really is too bad because there used to be a very sweet lady running the counter who couldn’t have been nicer.
I don’t need to drive out of my way to be treated like a second class citizen bothering nasty people who are being PAID to be there and provide customer service.
Will not ever go or recommend again. Your loss. No thank you. Hope your seventy cents came in handy.

Good Greek/​Mediterranean food. But every time I go there they have a new waitress. I wonder why…

Great little casual joint that serves up good Greek salads, chicken kabobs, etc. They are super quick, which is nice when you are busy. As the other reviewers have mentioned, the place is nice and clean and service is friendly. Definitely a great go-​to place for a quick & affordable lunch.

This wasn’t a planned lunch stop, but in the end, I’m glad my friend and I ended up here. The place we wanted to go was closed for some reason, so we jumped on Unilocal to find another place nearby. I had a gyro sandwich was was really good. The pita was fresh and the tzatziki sauce was not too runny. I don’t live in Charlotte, but if I ever find myself back there, I would go to the Akropolis Kafe again.

I discovered Akropolis Kafe during my first week at my new job. I’m glad I did. The inside is pretty plain, but since the place strikes me as being a quick lunch spot for office workers more than anything else, that’s not surprising. You don’t have time to linger on your lunch hour, anyways.
Anyways, I order the gyro with a side salad. They gyro was very good, perhaps one of the best I’ve had in Charlotte outside the Greek Festival. The meat was well-​seasoned and juicy, with just a hint of char. Mmm. The salad was a little more disappointing: as others have mentioned, they ladle way too much dressing on that sucker. Next time, I’ll order fries or ask for the dressing on the side.
I definitely recommend Akropolis for a quick lunch, and I will be back soon.

Went here for a quick lunch one weekday afternoon. Decent food at a decent price.
Atmosphere — Clean, basic, small, busy, pizza shop-​ish
Food — I ordered the Chicken Kabob which came on a wooden skewer. It was accompanied with a Greek salad, Steak fries, and a pita. The Kabob was tasty but the salad was drowning in dressing. The Steak fries were awesomely crisp with a tender inside. The pita was fresh tasting.
Service — It was prompt with hints that the owner was present as any question was quickly answered in a way that seemed to say the responder cared about answering you correctly. I was a little disappointed that the food came on a Styrofoam plate (see photo) but this place is more geared toward takeout.
Overall — While the salad was more or less ruined by the amount of dressing, everything else was tasty. I would stop here again… but would recommend to anyone when ordering to get the dressing on the side.
