Food was a bit slow. I got the freaky gyro and the skewers were pretty good but the gyro meat was too salty. Plus for 18$ I'd like more than one piece of pita to balance out all that meat. Very much a run of the mill American style gyro place.
Clean, well priced, large portion, okay flavor, and nice atmosphere.
The orders are pretty quick. There aren't too many options, but they're good. The flavor isn't plentiful, but it's not bad either. The fries were good though, especially the cheese with it.

Hadn't been there in years. Wanted to stop in every time I traveled through Madison. Finally got a chance recently, and was not disappointed. Got a classic gyro/fries and it was as good as I remember! This time I was there in the afternoon, whereas in the past I would have been around bartime, so the atmosphere was a lot more chill.
Definitely would still recommend this place to anyone looking for a good gyro!

What a great evening to dine al fresco on the rooftop at Parthenon! Great food as always and very friendly smiling staff! What you mean you don't eat no meat?!? That's OK. They make lamb.
First time trying Greek food and was not disappointed. Service was fast, and the original gyro I had was very delicious and fulfilling 😋. The upstairs garden area is amazing, really feels like you're transported to another country.
Amazing gyro that will make you surrender to your Greek goddess. House roasted before your eyes fresh cuts of ground lamb and beef spiced with imported oregano and freshly ground pepper topped with freshly sliced onions and tomatoes drenched with house made Tangy Tzatziki Sause of house made Greek yogurt with fresh cucumber garlic and lemon. Simply delicious!
Delicious Greek food in the heart of Madison. Recommend the gyros and a shared basket of fries. Very filling and fresh. Has a covered rooftop sitting area with plants.
Awesome food. Loved my Gyros. The upstairs rooftop is beautiful. Great place to sit and enjoy your food. the downstairs was really nice too.
We had the regular gyro, the Greek Chick, fries, and Greek yogurt with honey and it was all delicious! The gyros are about $11 each, which I thought was a little pricey for just the sandwich, but it was huge and super filling. They also have a cozy rooftop garden patio that was nice place to enjoy the meal.
I love love love Parthenon Gyros! A great meal for a fair price!
The Gyros are great either served traditionally or as a deconstructed plate. Fresh veggies and onions give crunch and zestiness. The yogurt sauce is perfect!
Service is fast. Parking is... Well it's state street so ramps or street, but not right in front. Indoor seating is good... For sitting and/or talking.

The gyros and chicken skewers were very filling. The chicken skewers had some kind of seasoning in it that I couldn’t tell if it was more like, a little burnt taste or that’s what the seasoning taste like. It has a unique flavor. But you get a lot of food though.
Parthenon has pretty average gyros. I happened to be in the mood for a gyro while downtown, so I stopped by. The restaurant itself is nice: it is clean and the employees are friendly. The gyros are tasty but nothing special. I would go back again, as I like gyros.
The gyro plate is a good deal for two. Get an extra pita. The Greek Chick is another favorite. New owners and the food is better than ever! Generous serving of lamb in the gyro. When the weather is nice the rooftop garden is lovely.
