We had Athena Cafe for lunch today and we were both so happy with our selection. We will absolutely be back! Boyfriend ordered the gyro and I ordered kibbeh and a side salad. We also ordered some fresh juice and gosh there’s nothing like it! If you don’t like Mediterranean food still go for the juices!
I do with they had a kibbeh entree but I’m happy to make my own combo. Overall 10/10 would rec

Pride Athena Cafe for the first time today. It's a very casual and Quaint restaurant tucked off a Veterans Memorial Boulevard. The gentleman you took my order was also the cook. He was polite and informative. Answered any questions that I had. The restaurant itself was tidy. No visible issues. The food itself was tasty and high quality. As with most Mediterranean restaurants, I usually try the vegetarian sampler first. This was no exception. No issues whatsoever. Their hummus and baba ganoush was absolutely on point. Their pita bread was definitely ABOVE average. No, not all pita bread is made the same. The tabouli was excellent as well. I wasn't a big fan of the potatoes, but at the same time they weren't bad at all. Would have preferred grape leaves or something else, but that's no big deal. Overall, I definitely recommend Athena cafe. I will be back here in the near future. Check it out for yourself.

Some of the best shawarma and gyro ever! Staff is so nice, and generous portions! This place is not like other greek / lebanese restaurants. More Syrian style, which is a welcome distinction. Baba Ganoush and Hummus are sooo good, as well as the garlic sauce and tzatziki dip. They have a unique pita bread! It is thicker and soft, like a sponge bread. Wonderful! Great Lebanese tea and a juice and smoothie bar, plus awesome desserts!!

10/10. The best Mediterranean food around, hands down. Food is amazing, portions are insane, and the guys working are always so polite and on point! The garlic sauce is addicting and the tzatziki is out of this world.
Steak, salad, potatoes and veggies.

I’m in love! Athena Cafe is consistently incredible. I got a gyro meal and a juice, and it was perfect. It was the most beautifully plated takeout I’ve ever had, and tasted just as good as it looked. The juice was freshly squeezed and refreshing. I’m so excited to come back!
