Fodor's Expert Review Athens on 4th Avenue

$$ The University of Arizona Greek

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

The tranquil dining room in this Greek spot off 4th Avenue is furnished with lace curtains, white stucco walls, and potted plants. Enjoy classics like kotopoulo stin pita (grilled chicken breast with a yogurt-cucumber sauce on fresh pita), moussaka, or the pastitsio (a casserole made with pasta, meat, and béchamel). The house favorite is braised lamb shoulder in a light tomato sauce over pasta or potatoes—call to reserve your order of the lamb ahead of time. The house-made lemon cheesecake will melt in your mouth.
