Food and Service...Excellent!!!! I have a new "Go To" for lunch/dinner.
Athena Cafe is truly one of the hidden treasures of Metairie! The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. You can really tell that care goes into every dish.
I especially love that Athena Cafe is a family-owned restaurant. There is a warm, welcoming feeling to the place that makes you want to come back. In my opinion, it is one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in the New Orleans area.

Great food, quick pickup. The amount of meat in the gyro or shawarma wraps is perfect. Such a great spot.
