Cafe Akroteri: Reviews & Ratings
Friendly prompt customer service. The lamb gyro plate was delicious. The rice & potatoes were cooked to perfection. My Diva drink was very tasty I will return asap.
We stopped for lunch on a weekend day. Nice food and great service, it wasn't busy at all. The gyros, pork and falafel gyros were especially good. Nice place for lunch or dinner!
I've had Cafe Akroteri catered at my work several times and loved it every time. I finally got to try it dining in and I highly recommend it! Great service, really good quantity and quality of food for a reasonable price, and a great atmosphere. What more could you ask for? Plus it has a small parking lot which is pretty much unheard of in downtown Bellingham. We will definitely be going back more! Greek food is always so fresh and delicious. you could easily get enough food for 15 or so, but we did splurge a little and got some drinks as well, but still overall pretty reasonable! The grilled chicken gyros, lemon rice, and feta fries were all amazing.
We had our anniversary here. It was the fastest dine-in food we've been served in 2024! It was delicious and served by the most friendly staff member, Demi. Props to the chefs too.
Had a wonderful experience here trying their food for the first time. Our waitress Piper and Riley were superstars, would love to eat here again. Such sweet girls and even better food!
I have to say, I was gloriously surprised by how genuine and tasty the food was here. I've been to many upon many different Greek restaurants over my 50years, but never have I had an experience like today. Not only did I enjoy a wonderful meal but had a very lovely conversation with an exceptionally polite and friendly woman named Mira (i hope I said that correctly). She surprised me by paying for my meal. A true pay it forward moment. I have paid for people's groceries at Walmart and the grocery store before, but have never been on the receiving end before. Remarkable restaurant and remarkable customers! Looking forward to playing it forward for someone else.
I grew up in Bellingham, and when I tell you, I’ve never had food that spoke to my soul as much as literally everything on the menu here! The waitress, Demi, was incredibly sweet and I found out that it’s a local from-Greece family-owned business! I can’t believe this weekend was the first time I’ve ever been there!! Lemme tell you, it won’t be my last! I highly recommend!!!
Went here as the Indian restaurant next door was closed. Awesome food and service, although the baklava was sold out. Definitely recommend...
