The best Greek diner I’ve ever been to. I love the Greek chicken salad.l (no olives, I didn’t say I was Greek lol). The pita bread is always super fresh and soft and crispy and buttery. And one of the only places I can get Boston Cream Pie homemade.

Athena's is s great diner. Their pita is perfection. They have a great selection of dishes and serve breakfast all day. It's definitely the first place I think if when I'm looking for gyro too.
June 2026
What a wonderful surprise!! Saw the mixed reviews and thought twice, but then I told the hubs-everyone’s tastes and choices are different. Hubs got the gyro sandwich with fries (and extra tzatziki) I got the steak stir fry. Both meals were amazing! Fresh and cooked to perfection! Loved the handmade tzatziki! And we agree with the reviews about the fries being so crispy yet not hard to eat! Service was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is very clean and well kept! So glad...
