I’m a truck driver and stopped here with my bobtail for lunch, and I have to say this restaurant is absolutely amazing. I ordered several skewers of chicken kabobs along with extra rice and kashk-e-bademjan, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
I’m really grateful for their warm hospitality and the chance to speak in my own language while here in the U.S. This place left me with a great feeling, and I genuinely wish them the best success. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Been going to Athens almost weekly since we moved to the area 9 years ago. Everything we’ve had has been delicious, my particular favorite is their fancy naan and hummus. Would recommend 💯

Highly recommended, great customer service and delicious food 🙂Thanks.
If you're looking for a wonderful dining experience, I highly recommend this place! They serve the best pizza and the most delicious Persian-style kebab in the area. You can truly taste the freshness in all their dishes, which makes a big difference. The owner and staff are exceptionally warm and respectful, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It's a perfect spot for anyone who loves Mediterranean-style food. I can't recommend it enough!

I recently visited Athens Pizza and Kabob and tried the mixed Persian dish with kebabs and chicken. The food was average at best. While the food was passable, the overall experience was tainted by the service. The owner, who also served us, had a poor attitude, making the atmosphere uncomfortable. Instead of feeling welcomed. Good service can make up for mediocre food, but when the attitude is bad, it leaves a sour taste.
I won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

If you want true Iranian kabob, this is the place to go. Their kabobs are exactly like perfect iranian kabobs with perfect iranian rice. Favorite iranian restaurant iv been to that takes me back like im in Iran again. And definitely try kashkbademjoon. Yum.
The staff was very kind. The menu has something for everyone. The kabob was amazing especially the koobideh! My new favorite restaurant in CLT. Highly recommend.

What a delightful surprise. My Persian neighbor mentioned this is her go-to for home-cooked Persian food and treated me to an amazing lunch Saturday. I was so glad to have some of my lunch to take home. The portions are generous and are exquisitely presented. It is about an hour from home and well worth the trip. Never tried Persian food? Well … you need to try Athens Pizza and Kebab — truly a culinary delight!

I recently visited Athens Pizza and was blown away by the quality and flavor of their food! While their pizza is fantastic, the real star of the show for me was their kabab. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, the kabab was juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that offers both amazing pizza and outstanding kababs, Athens Pizza is the spot. Highly recommend!

The only authentic Persian restaruant in Charlotte with a variety of delicious kabob!! My partner and I have been here multiple times over the last two years and the quality has been always AMAZING. We love this place and highly recommend. I always try Arian's wrap: - Grab a small piece of bread - Spread over hummus sauce - Place a piece of basil and chicken kabob on top of sauce - Add a bit of feta cheese on top!! You will enjoy the magic! :) Do not forget enjoyable freshly brewed tea with hand-cut sugar cubes for the full Persian experience!
