My favorites are the philo flounder and Kissimi Hamburger (shaved steak and gyro) among many others. Servers are second-to- none.

We came here for the first time a few weeks ago and we're already back! All the food we had was delicious and fresh. I got the greek salad with chicken and the 6 onion soup. My husband got the chicken shawarma and the falafel app and he loved both. Restaurant is small but the decor makes it feel larger. Service was good as well. 10/10!

I came here for the prix fixe menu and left having only ordered the soup and salad. I've since returned four times and can't seem to get past the soup and salad, it's that good! I recommend the 4 onion soup which is an interesting lightly creamy onion broth topped with a puff pastry crust. The puff pastry mixes with the broth and makes for a really filling bowl of soup. For the salad, I get the Acropolis salad with grilled shrimp. The salad comes with Romaine lettuce, Roma tomato, blue cheese, fresh cucumber, onion, Kalamata olive, and bacon with a side of balsamic vinaigrette. I've always had great service but this place is packed on Friday and Saturday night so you may have to wait for a table. Acropolis has a real Metairie vibe. It's locals serving locals and I like it!

FABULOUS FOOD! The meat on the gyros is the tastiest I have ever had. I will admit I don't eat A LOT of gyros, but I've had enough to know that this meat is special. Perfect combo of toppings on a great pita as well. And it's reliably good each time you order. The soups are amazing as well. Definitely recommending!

This is a long time favorite of my family. And I've taken my Mom here 2x in the last year or so. The dining room is small and they seem to do a brisk takeout business. I love their spinach pie (spanakopita) and whatever is on the special board is always a good choice. They offer 4 courses (soup, salad, entree and dessert) for a price. They also offer just 2 for a different price (soup or salad and entree). I had flounder wrapped in filo with a lemon dill sauce last weekend. STUNNING! And huge! I ate the 2nd half for dinner a night or two later and it was still delicious. Mom got a gyro and was a happy camper and my brother got a grilled mahi and said it was yummy too. We also had the selection of appetizer plate and the spinach pie and the tzatziki were the standouts. They do have a full bar but I've never had a drink here for whatever reason. There is a small parking lot in the front but a larger one (with accessible access) in the back.

I've eaten here at lunch MANY times and had dinner here several times and it has always been very good. They always have at least 2 different fish specials for lunch along with several other very tasty options. You get a very large fish portion compared to almost all the other area restaurants. I especially love when they have Amberjack and Acropolis easily gives you three times as much fish as a comparable special at Drago's. You get a choice of soup or salad along with your lunch special and the soups are usually the way to go (they have this amazing 6 onion soup with a pastry top that you need to sample ASAP). They have chicken, meat, and kabob specials that are also delicious. I've also ordered from the menu and found everything to be very well done. They also have several Italian dishes and they are very tasty and I really like the lasagna. They usually have at least one pasta special during lunch and it is a LARGE portion and usually very good. They also have many excellent Greek versions of dishes you also find in Middle Eastern food such as kabobs, stuffed grape leaves, and hummus showing the wide reach of Greek culture. If you don't arrive before noon (sometimes before 11:30) then there can be a long wait to be seated as this is a very popular place. Parking can fill up rapidly in the front and there is additional parking in the back with a back entrance that is easy to miss if you don't know it is there. This place is definitely worth a visit and some really nice folks working here. My video review of Acropolis is here: https://youtu.be/ORSYcI61gJI

Delicious food! Got the appetizer sampler, mousaka and baklava and all were amazing! The entree came with a side Caesar salad which was also good. The wait staff were very personable and patient. It's a small little quaint place but offers so much. People with me got a gyro salad, pistachio (prob spelled that wrong but it's the mousaka with noodles) and one got the pork tenderloin wrap. Not crazy about to the wrap but everything was very good. We got the Luku balls and I wasn't crazy about that. Overall it was all great food! We spent $100 on the sampler, three entrees and two desserts. Not bad!

We had to wait a little while for our table, it's a small place, but worth it. My husband had 6 Onion Soup, Caesar's Salad, and Chicken Parmigiana. I had one of the 4 Course Specials with, Augolemono Soup (chicken and rice with lemon), Greek Salad, Psari Kalymnos (flounder wrapped in phyllo) and for dessert we split a Baklava Sundae. Everything was great. Service was great too. The waitress was very attentive. They have remodeled since our last time being there, and the Greek themed decor is understated and comfortable. It's a place that you can feel comfortable going to with family, friends and kids too. It's always one of our favorite places.

This is a quaint nice restaurant. Very unsuspecting from the outside, but as soon as you walk inside, you see, smell and feel the Greek authenticity down to the decor. I was the second person through the door for the dinner hours opening so only two people working the dining area. Both were very pleasant and helpful. I was mad at myself for not looking closely at the daily specials. Ugh...all week in NOLA I was jonesing for red snapper / red fish. I didn't even look at the specials because per the Greek ambiance, I wanted gyro meat...well, as you will see from my fotos, one of their specials the night I dropped in was Greek style pan sautéed red fish. I can't wait to return, I plan to scour the specials of the day. Lol Please don't forget to smash the like button, and thank you..
