Greek delis are supposed to be a bit chaotic, just like they're supposed to have a painting or two of the Acropolis hanging on the walls. It also helps to have plates laden with Athenian specialties like succulent grilled chicken kabobs over flavorful rice, roasted lamb gyros, plump dolmades, olive oil softened pita bread and milky feta cheese. The Athenian Express pumps out Greek favorites and American subs for the downtown business and ASU crowd who appreciate the fast service, low prices (lemony chicken and rice soup and pita bread for $1.99) and full plates.
