Athena Greek Restaurant

Wow first place we went to after touching down and was so impressed by the ambiance, service, and FOOD!!!!The menu is pretty expansive. We started with some whipped feta (tasted amazing with the bread they served), the octapodi (charbroiled octopus), the greek combo plate, and wow the cheesecake baklava had us speechless. It's going to be hard to eat greek food outside of this spot in the US. They know what they're doing in there!

Came here for dinner with 2 other friends and really enjoyed my meal. The restaurant is fairly big and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor back patio is amazing and gives off a great ambiance. The restaurant itself is fairly casual and great for group dinners.For appetizers we shared the saganaki and greek salad and both were great! For my main course I got the Athenian chicken and it was delicious! This is a big dish as it's half a chicken, so I suggest sharing this with another person as I barely ate half of it since I had appetizers. Drinks were made well and the service was friendly and attentive!

Restaurant was clean and welcoming. The staff were kind and attentive. This was my first time trying Greek food and it did not disappoint. Check out some of the pictures of the restaurant and our meals.

Athena is beyond mythical. This Greek gem has great food, an amazing patio, and a bar that catches the perfect winds from that patio. The food is solid and the drinks are great. The frappe was abit of a let down, Overall, it's worth coming in to hear OPA! As the saganaki lights up

Athena has always been amazing! We went back today after a long time and I'm so pleased that it's still great, especially because we went to celebrate my mom's birthday. We were a group of 6 and everything that we ordered on the table was delicious! My favorite was the eggplant appetizer and their vegetarian moussaka. The service was great as well. Our server was extremely attentive and sweet. He got my mom dessert for her birthday and it really brightened up her day. The ambience was great too. Looking forward to going back again soon considering it's right around the corner from where I live.

Food was average. The Athena has a beautiful open-air patio which was the draw for us on this outing. Sadly, Pegasus down the street had shuttered which had a great rooftop with amazing views of the city. The service was average as well. The avgolemono soup was bland, the Greek salad was crisp, green, and tasty, the waiter did not light our flaming cheese, and the experience was just OK. With so many great Greek restaurants in Greektown, I wouldn't come to the Athena for the food but the patio is quite lovely for drinks/atmosphere.

Came here for a good friends birthday, and it definitely enticed me to come back to Greek town! This restaurant is in such a fun area, and parking is also quite convenient for out of town guests. Menu is vast with all of the classic Greek staples, as well as some fun specials! On this trip, we stuck to the classics and they were great! The lamb for the gyro plate was amazing, and a large portion. I enjoyed having leftovers, but the pita was the only part that didn't have a proportional serving left. My boyfriend also enjoyed his leg of lamb! It was very tender, and the sauce was cinnamon-esque and very warming! Prices are a little high for a standard dinner, but I think if you value the leftovers, as well, it's worth it!!

I made a reservation for 6 o'clock and ask them if it's all right if I drop my wife off and then I went to measure an apartment downtown that was a mile away, so my wife took her book. They seated her a beautiful table and a beautiful room pictures to follow And she nibbled on some bread and had some sparkling water while I went on my measure. I got back there an hour and 20 minutes later. She told me how nice they had been to her while she sat there. We ordered the chicken regatta and we got all white meat, which they'll do it this restaurant, and it was wonderful. We got rice and potatoes with it. We split a Greek salad which was wonderful with the freshest tomatoes I've ever had on the salad in the restaurant and we ordered a side of green beans the Greek green beans come and kind of tomato sauce, which were wonderful, and we told the waiter to bring us something for dessert and some type of a Greek custard which was wonderful and we had coffee and I had some Mavrodavi wine our waiters name was Alexander. He was a terrific waiter. Did a great job and the bus man's name was Kevin who boxed up all our leftovers and did a great job. Everybody was pleasant. The restaurant is you can see from my pictures is gorgeous and I only got pictures of the room we were in. There's another room with a waterfall coming down the wall and there's an open air room where you can be eating outside while you're inside, this restaurant should get six or seven stars since I can only give it five that's what I'll do

WOW! What an incredible dining experience. We had the pleasure of having Mali and Eddie hosting us. They did a great job staying on top of drink refills and timely check ins with our group. My water never went empty and I drink a lot of water! We ordered the Saganaki for an appetizer which is the flaming cheese and OH MY GOSH.. it is a MUST. I could've eaten 5 of those by myself. If you like cheese and bread, order this for sure. I got the Greek stuffed Chicken which was amazing. The chicken was so tender and I loved the spinach and feta filling. The okra was great too!My friend got the chicken kabobs which were a nice portion as well. The design and decor of the restaurant is so unique and cozy. I absolutely loved it!

The glass ceiling dinning room was awesome! Got seated immediately. Exactly what you would except from an authentic Greek restaurant! Greek salad, Saganaki, Calamari, gyro plate!! Delicious!!!I wish I would have seen the free valet parking before I parked.
