Acropolis

This place is a Mediterranean hidden gem. It is inside of a really outdated, dark and grim looking building in the back of the shopping center, but do not let that defer you!
I honestly wished I could have taken a photo of the chef because you could tell that he was actually from a Mediterranean country by his dialect and the way he dressed. I wanted to make a meme out of his photo and write TOTALLY LEGIT!
The staff is very welcoming and cares about you. Fast, prompt service.
The food was amazing! The best hummus I have ever had and all the vegetables and feta cheese were fresh. A decent sized portion as well.
I have nothing negative to say about this place except maybe the interior could use a little resign.

This is the best Meditteranian restaurant in the city. They have lots of daily specials now which is a plus.

Acropolis is one of our favorite workday lunch places. It’s also great for the family as they have Mediterranean food but also pizza and pasta, something for everyone. The Greek salad is huge and really good, dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette and tzajiki and topped with gyro meat or rosemary crusted chicken. The sandwiches are good with soft pita and your choice of side. I like the grilled veggies but I have friends who worship their thick cut French fries. The prices here are very reasonable and the special are good as week as cheap. Daily soup specials from aglomenma to the decadent 5 onion (a cream onion soup topped with puff pastry.) I love their baba ganush which is just an excuse for roasted garlic and their appetizer platter is worthwhile too. Overall, this is a great family owned place with low prices and good food.

One of my fav restaurants. The food is always delicious. The only minor complaint i would have is… I enjoy eating my gyro with hummus & they will not serve u a small amount just to eat with ur platter… U have to order a full appetizer size :(

Normally we love this place! However… this time we ordered about 45 minutes before closing. I don’t recommend. We got dried out/​old fries. We got shorted pita in with my gyro plate. My side Caesar salad was super small. We are not pleased.

Acropolis is my favorite place in Metairie for a Gyro. The restaurant is small… located on the far end of a strip mall off of Veterans, but the food always delivers. The Gyro meat is always prepared perfectly, and it serves well in a sandwich, salad, or platter.
BOTTOM LINE: Best Gyros in Metairie!

This place would be the first time I have ever tried Greek and Mediterranean food. The service can be a hit or miss depending on how busy the place is. The food can take a little while, but it’s okay if the food is going to come out hot and fresh. The first things to check out should be the specials board that offer a 3 course lunch or 4 course dinner menu.
Favorite starters: Potato soup and Creamed artichoke soup. Baba ganoush dip, and Spanktopia,
Favorite Entrees: fish specials on the board are really good. Beef, chicken and pork kabobs are also good. Gyros are a hit and miss, but are sliced thin which is a plus. The Tzatziki sauce is pretty good.
Dessert: bread pudding is pretty good.

I went there for first time today and got the gyro wrap. It was AWESOME. Meat was by far the star of the meal (as it should be). The veggies that came with it were also very good. They do take out and it only took like 7 min for them to make the wrap (and meat was hot btw)

More like a 3.5.
I had heard good word of mouth about this place. We were looking to try some place new Saturday night for dinner, so we went here.
They are a tiny place in a small strip mall. We arrived early and could pick whatever table we wanted. They cram a lot of tables in there and as the place filled up, it was pretty noisy.
They feature four course meals for just under twenty bucks. Their menu offers both Greek and Italian choices. We weren’t hungry enough for the large four course meals, so we opted to order off the rest of the menu. I got the appetizer sampler as my entrée. It was fine. A little too heavy handed on the garlic though. My boyfriend ordered the kabobs. He said they were good. Our friend got the Rosemary chicken breast with pasta. It looked really good. The portion sizes were generous.
Go early as it gets very crowded.

After visiting Acropolis for lunch this week, I’m extremely confused. I was told that this place had excellent, authentic Greek food. The menu boasts very few typical Greek dishes and many more Italian. The spinach and cheese pie appetizer was tasty enough, but nothing authentic. My gyro was lackluster. On top of this «meh» culinary experience, I received horrendous service. My boyfriend and I were seated for 10 minutes before receiving menus, and our server (who was, granted, very friendly) fudged our order. I didn’t even have an opportunity to inform her of this, because she was far too distracted by a large party to pay us any notice.
I’m giving two stars based on the service (perhaps a fluke?) and the fact that the food wasn’t awful. But as a Greek who was really looking forward to some of my favorite home cooked meals, two stars feels generous. I was pretty disappointed.

We’ve been here twice and I’ve loved the food both times. Both times I’ve gotten the 4 course special. The soups are always yumm-​a-​licious!
The place is tiny. Service is friendly.

I always enjoy my dinner at Acropolis! Here you will find a variety of 4 course meals for the low, low price of $ 18.99! This includes homemade soup, salad, entrée, and dessert. I normally order one of the fish specials, and especially the last two times I ordered fish it’s been cooked to perfection! Another item I always enjoy off the regular menu is the gyro. The gyro meat here is really to my liking. One menu item I just have to mention is the pork chop entrée. They serve two huge pork chops cooked to your liking. You really have to see it to believe it!
Aside from the food I just want to mention this is a small family owned and run restaurant. The owner is hands on and he cares about his customers. I enjoy dining here and would recommend others to try it.

This place has lots of fish. Not «seafood like Pappa’s» in Tarpon Springs. Capacity is 48 persons. Will let you know if the pita and vegetables, and hummus was as good as the last time…

Been there twice with my wife and another couple, looking fwd to our next visit! Had the shish kabobs the 1^st visit they were awesome! Last night I had the Lasagna it was also a great meal, I was worried about the tomato sauce giving me acid indigestion but the chef must put sugar in the sauce, had a sweet taste, everyone enjoyed their meals!
Gonna try the pizza next time,

I LOVE GYRO WRAPS. Like I’m seriously obsessed with them. I came here to eat lunch with my friend and we both got the gyro wrap with fries. We also got the Hummus appetizer.
Their pita bread is not your typical pita bread. It has a certain flavor to it that I love. It was quite addicting.
When the gyro wrap came out I was so excited. The gyro meat was tasty, not dry, and delicious.
Even if I don’t eat anything else on the menu, I’d love to have the gyro wrap again and again and again.
Sadly, I hated the fries — they were fat steak fries that were way too salty. That was a little disappointing.
Not much seating area, and the servers are very frazzled for only 10 tables, but the owner or chef (not sure) who gave us our food was really sweet.

Great Greek food. Locally owned and the employees/​staff are very attentive and dedicated. Best Greek salad I’ve had!

Would give this 3.5 starts if that was available but since it isn’t I’ll go up one.
Stopped here as a last minute choice and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the salad and added gyro meat and it had way more meat than my husband’s gyro plate. The salad was great, but the gyro platter was lacking.
Kids liked their food.
Service was a bit scattered but friendly.

Absolutely fantastic, authentic Greek food in the middle of Metairie, LA!
My boyfriend found this little restaurant buried in a store front center one evening and we stopped in for dinner.
The cook is a first generation Greek American who regularly returns to Greece to visit, and the influence shines through in his recipes.
We had the Acropolis sampler which had hummus, baba ganoush, and jajiki with warm pita along with a spinach and cheese pie. All are made from scratch and have a great flavor! We then had the lentil soup (also homemade and exceptionally good). I had the Greek salad with gyro meat and he had the daily 4-​course special which offers a salad, soup, entrée, and dessert for $ 18.95.
The overall experience was great with friendly waitstaff, great food, timely delivery of each course and efficient processing of the ticket.
We will be returning!

Pretty good restaurant. The special I had was grilled Amberjack with grilled veggies. Very flavorful. Hummus is good too.

Good Greek Restaurant. My personal preferred Greek restaurant in New Orleans. Well-​prepared dishes from the Greek standard choices. Ingredients are fresh, meat dishes are not greasy. Service is attentive and pleasant. Acropolis is typically busy with an active and talkative clientele. Appears to be a Greek-​American community favorite, that speaks favorably in my view of he food quality and operation. When I’m in the mood, and am traveling in deepest, darkest Metairie, I gravitate here as one of the better and more interesting restaurants. A well-​done Greek atmosphere without being schlocky or overdone. Located in a small strip shopping center with competitive parking. Entering and exiting from the busy Veterans Ave. feels like an aircraft carrier landing or takeoff, without the arresting cable. Adds a bit of sport to your dining experience.
