Athens Café

So glad Athen's Cafe is open here in the Wells Branch area. The greek food here is legit. We had the lamb plate and chicken souvlaki plate. Then closed it with some baklava. Loved it. This is my go to when craving for greek food now.

If you live anywhere near Wells Branch & Mopac, hurry over to Athens Café for a wonderful Greek meal, served by the loveliest family, for a fair price. I feel so lucky to have this great new spot so close to my neighborhood.We stopped in for an early Sunday dinner during opening month and were treated like family from the moment we stepped inside. Right away, I was pleased with the makeover given this former crawfish joint. Good bye, Louisiana, hello, Santorini! Light blue accents and travel images from the Greek isles adorn the walls. After ordering at the counter, we were quickly served our cups of soup. Both the lemony chicken & rice option and the spicy lentil option were exceptionally good. We ate every spoonful.Both the lamb platter and the vegetarian plate were generously portioned, every ingredient fresh and delicious. The gyro-style lamb was shaved in thick slices. My falafel nuggets were the perfect texture, light & crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. And the sauces/dips, all so good! Hummus, baba ghanoush, and tzatziki, all full of flavor and each topped with a drizzle of olive oil.I should not forget to mention the pita bread. It's clearly slathered in fat of some kind, toasted, & served warm, making it the most addictive pita bread I've ever been served on a mezze plate. Forget the diet, eat this bread!Not sure if this will last indefinitely, or if it's a limited time situation during these first few weeks, but we were offered not one but two "on the house" items with our meal. First we received a comped dessert, the beignet-like loukoumades, airy & crispy, drizzled in honey. Then at the end of our meal, the matriarch insisted we go home with a to-go serving of her savory feta cheesecake. So nice!The food is great, the prices are great, the hospitality is a throwback to years gone by, and best of all, the precious Ya Ya (grandmother) who runs the place will give you all the love you've been missing each time she visits your table.

This is a new Greek restaurant that opened up next door to Roosters soul food located in the strip mall at corner of frontage Road of Mopac and wells branch . The food is amazing taste wise and fresh ! The older lady who owns and cooks the food is so nice and friendly.She brought us each a bowl of soup on her as well as some delicious desert balls after our lunch. I had a lamb combo plate and my wife had a chicken salad . The lamb and the chicken hat the best Greek flavor taste I ever had. We will definitely be back to try more foods on the menu !

Such a hidden gem. The owner is fantastic and kept bringing us things to try. The food is incredible! Everything is 10/10.

Amazing! So delicious, I am definitely going back.The place is beautiful and the Lady is extremely kind and generous.

Favorite Greek spot in North Austin. Gyro and fries with a little salad and you are SET. Top tier service, super sweet owner, clean restaurant. Absolutely worth visiting for a quick bite.

So glad to see this lady open up in our area! I used to eat at Santorini back when she first opened it many years ago. Same great food, service and her wonderful charm! It's like eating at a Greek grandmothers table! Love it!

Excellent, authentic Greek food. Everything was very good. We tried the lamb and the vegetable plates. We especially liked the dolmas. The lentil soup was well seasoned. The hummus, tzatziki, and the baba ghanoush were delicious, as good as any in Austin. The service is friendly.

Delicious on all accounts and very good pricing. Portions are perfect size and everything is made to order and fresh tasting. Restaurant is beautiful and staff friendly. I recommend this as a date spot for sure and yes they have coffee!!

The food was fantastic and the service was great. We especially enjoyed the chicken soup, dolmas and tzatziki with pita. Highly recommend!
