Description:Stoupsy’s of Athens has an Achilles heel: It’s cramped and hot, keeps lousy hours, and lacks parking. Yet it’s always packed. Why? Perhaps it’s because this unpretentious blue-and-white shawarma shack serves up authentic and affordable Greek grub good enough for the gods. There’s the popular and severely addictive souvlaki sandwich ...Read more ($6.25), which consists of Middle Eastern flatbread stuffed with vegetables, feta, yogurt sauce, and chunks of lean beef cooked over charcoal until mouthwateringly tender. A notable gyro platter comes with a side of tasty lemon potatoes, a Greek salad, and toasted pita ($8.75). Even sides are well executed. For instance, dolma (grape leaves stuffed with rice that come three for $2.15) are moistened by a pool of olive oil so each bite is perfect. And if great food isn’t reason enough to try this beloved lunch spot, service is refreshingly stellar. It’s friendly and lighting-quick; you can order, eat, and leave faster than Zeus can impregnate a river nymph (which we estimate is less than 15 minutes). show less
