Athena Gyro Greek Taverna

The food is so delicious and the portions are huge. Everything is fresh, well prepared and authentic. The owners are very nice.

The owner is the best host ever . They make sure that you get plenty of food . They are very attentive and hospitality oriented.

Great Greek food in the area! Nice atmosphere and good service complement the food quality of this venue.

Always great food, food service timing is on point. The waitress & manager/owner checks in w/ guests at the right moments. Just a wonderful all around experience.

Food is delicious!!! Best lamb kebobs.

Great spot for Greek food. The one platter has a little bit of everything and has enough for leftovers. Need to come back soon since I didn't save room for dessert!

Previous reviews:
This place is great. First time here and won't be my last. When we got there almost every table was taken but the service was still fast and the food came out quickly. And it was sooo good. The desert was probably the best part but the gyro was also one of the best I ever had.

Edit: since my initial review I have been back a few times. Really need to go more often and not eat so much. Everything is so good. Had no room for desert so had to take it to go

It's a real challenge to find Legit homestyle Ethnic food , and not just in Dutchess county....i'm constantly assaulted by Stale Chinese Takeout for White Folks , the Invariable American- Italian for Italian -Americans (read -everything "parm") , and of course Greek that resembles Homestyle Greek about as much as i resemble an Alligator .....all that being said , the Kids at Athena are Seriously making something Very unique happen : small cozy house , but Not on top of each other ; the whole crew vested in making the experience relaxing and fulfilling ....the owner comes out to REALLY engage , not just parade around .
...... and the food is OUT OF BOUNDS ..... i had the Lamb Shanks ... you go ahead and TRY to find that at ANY so-called Greek joint . Good luck. Dude , when you get to the Crunchy part , that's the table - Stop Eating !!!
Do Not waste your time with jokers trying to pawn-off 'Greek-like' crap ......this is ORDERS of MAGNITUDE beyond ....Absolutely Go-To Greek, no shit. I'll see you there !!!

Love Athena Gyro! The food is always delicious made fresh, and the staff are super friendly.

I’ve ordered so many different things from here and it NEVER disappoints. The food is fresh, authentic and amazing. Best falafel I’ve ever had hands down. Everything has such good flavor.

Absolutely delicious, best Greek food I’ve had in so long. Family and I were back from upstate NY and traveling to Long Island, stopped here on a whim. So clean, friendly staff and the food was out in under five minutes. What an incredible establishment, please don’t hesitate to visit,

Found this place after researching place for lunch near Chuang Yen Monastery. I love that they offer platters so I can get all my Greek favorites on 1 platter and not have to decide on 1. Ionian platter was mine. My kids shared the Greek meats platter. Greek salads that came with platters were yummy too. Fries were super fresh and crispy. For dessert I ordered Bougatsa and Baklava. Huge slice of each came to our table! Bougatsa, served warm, was delightful. Can't wait to eat the baklava after we eat all of our leftovers! We'll go visit the monastery again in the Spring, I can't wait to go back. Our server was very friendly!
