Ordered lunch to go: 1. Placed order by phone - very friendly and quick phone support for the order. 2. Picked up in person - little slow because they needed to locate the phone order,lol. Once they found it, we were promptly provided our order to go. 3. Unveiling the food and consuming:. This is going to be a regular in our PB rotation. We ordered: Gyro - by far one of the best; taste and ingredients were excellent Roasted Potatoes - I thought I wanted greasy fries....until these potatoes! I want more is all I can say. We'll be back Cafe Athena, until next time.

Recently remodeled and it's very nicely decorated inside now! Yummy Greek food and plenty of vegetarian options.

Wow! What I thought was just another hole in the wall mom and pop place is actually a beautiful restaurant amazing quality Greek food and great value for the price. We ordered a feast of $50 worth of food to try...here is what we liked. Our two favorites: + Best version of Greek salad we have had...homemade dressing was great, the small salad was actually quite large and we shared it. +Amazing grilled vegetable wrap, this is what grilled vegetables should taste like. +The gyro wrap- it was kind of fancy, really good quality meat and veggies...almost too fancy, we are used to greasy cheap gyros lol. +The avgolemono soup- very interesting and probably an acquired taste. Glad to try new Greek food but once was enough. + Red potato and aioli dressing- potatoes were great on their own. I liked dipping the aioli dressing with the pita triangles. + Galacto boreko dessert- very interesting with the rose water, was a nice new kind of Greek dessert to try but I think I prefer baklava + we accidentally ordered pocket pita for dipping into all the nice extra sauces we ordered on the side...the one we should have picked was the thicker smaller triangle pita. *update: toasting the pocket pitas make it great for dipping sauces Overall can't wait to try other wraps and dishes and desserts here, and when COVID restrictions ease up, am excited to dine here in person for the beautiful atmosphere. Great service for pick up, was ready in the 30min they said when we ordered it online via their website. Their website has pics of everything btw, makes it super easy to order especially if you arent that familiar with Greek food. Very happy with our sample feast tonight and we will be back!
