Food was tasty. Chicken was a little dry but we still very much enjoyed everything. Service was great. Very much a family run place which we love. Desserts homemade were tasty but a little pricey. I would still recommend this place. I am ok spending a little more for a great mom and pop place.

Always a good family place to go. Their Greek food is authentic and amazing! I always buy a bottle of their “Kyklos” Red wine! It’s my favorite! Dry Red Wine! Good for the ❤️?

Athenian Restaurant is amazing! The service is always fantastic no matter how busy they are and we always have a great time. We have always loved the food and especially the spicy feta dip, but now that I’m vegan we still love coming here because they have great options! The vegan platter is delicious and so filling. Yum!!

A little about me. Some forward 4/5 were excellent but other 3/5 were bland and dry lasagna-esque dishes with an intelligent to simple noodles and dry ground beef portion. When told my opinion, I commented that I like it and what came? The reply was along the lines of 'I'm sorry they were too foreign for you, next time you can try something else'. No, there won't be a next time. Bahi Rumi is probably my favorite dish, they weren't 'too exotic', I said a bit bland and dry. Please don't treat me like a little kid who is a picky eater. I wasn't shown a drink or dessert menu that wasn't already priced - $75 is definitely more than establishment-grade electricity. I add this to my review. If it was $50 anyway it's 3/5 instead of 2/5, but at $75 you can easily punch in and compete in the big leagues, and the Michelin focus is worth noting. Is. The restaurant is smoking. As for the atmosphere, both the restaurant and the front door are not easy to find. Which had a seat that had no padding on either side - I sat awkwardly on the seat. I won't get this result as there are only 2 other tables taken I can only assume that is all of them. Asparagus, pita bread + tzatsiki, and wine all go remarkably well. I was also given a full shot of black licorice wine as a sweet drink. It was great, however I'm not a fan of Kali Lakais and drove me home. Service incredibly fast

We walked in and we're greeted like family. The portions are massive and the prices are not. We got drinks, an app, 3 large plates of food and two desserts. There's plenty of leftovers and it costs the same as any chain restaurant. You will be full and you will enjoy it. The best Greek place I've been to in my life. Try the fried custard. It's basically a stuffed Funnel Cake with just lightly sweetened custard and the perfect dusting of sugar and cinnamon.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian plates, even gluten free plates.
