As a former Indianapolis resident, let me tell you how lucky Indianapolis is to have great Greek choices. I now live in Cincinnati, where the only Greek food available are gyros. So, if you're just visiting Indianapolis, give some of those Greek restaurants a try! I promise it's more than meat in a pita.
Acropolis serves amazing Greek comfort food. I usually get the moussaka, which is like an eggplant lasagna. I love the potatoes and green beans that accompany the entrees. They seem to be slow-cooked in olive oil and lemon juice.
The place itself is pretty cute, and it can be more convenient than Santorini for south siders. The service has always been pretty good but not remarkable.
This was a great place to celebrate date night for my husband and me. We started out with the dolmathes. These were the best I have ever had. The grape leaves were so tender I could cut them with my fork. The lemon butter sauce was excellent! We both had the gyro platter and were not disappointed. It was a huge amount of food. The lamb was perfectly seasoned and the tzatziki sauce was great. I liked the potatoes that came with it. I also liked the green beans, although they were a bit mushy.
This is as authentic as you can get. It was a quiet place for an excellent meal. We plan on returning in the near future.
Acropolis isn't a bad place to go if you are a fan of Greek food and are on the south side. It can't compare to Santorini in terms of atmosphere, service and food quality, so I typically head to Fountain Square when a gyro or spanokopita craving beckons. But, I've ate at Acropolis several times and don't really have any complaints. My food has always tasted good but it's not quite presented with much flair. A simpler option than Santorini, but the prices are slightly lower as well.
Acropolis, like many Greek and Mediterranean restaurants, has belly dancers perform on Friday and Saturday nights, so if you are looking for a little entertainment with your meal, it's a good bet. The restaurant is also family-owned.
