Athenian Garden

Amazing fresh food with lots of flavor, and portions enough to share. Quick service. Reliable option for the st Pete area.

I have been going for years as you can see from my first review. Last few years the quality has suffered. Today 4 of us went. The food was greasy and subpar. Someone in my family got severe gasto issues after. Also - really weird to see the owner sit there at a table, not doing a thing, while Fox News is on and there is one server really struggling with several tables. He just watched tv while she was running around. Service suffered! Talk about LAZY! No one needs to have news on - especially ostracizing political viewpoints. I'll be supporting other Greek establishments from now on. 3 gyros - meat greasy, barely any tzatziki 1 combo platter - came out wrong but also greasy meat Side salad was redeeming item today which isn't enough after that experience.

The service was good. The gyro meat was salty and definitely NOT my idea of true Greek. It had shredded cabbage & carrots with iceberg lettuce and the dressing had no flavor.I ended up asking for Ranch dressing!The bread they sent out was sliced 1/4 loaf of regular bread. I ended up asking for pita with tzatziki sauce , it was good, but they charged me an extra $5 on top of a $20 salad!I was there in the middle of the lunch service, and it was not busy at all! They seemed to do a decent amount of pick up to go serviceI wanted to love it, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend. Definitely not what I'd expect from a traditional Greek restaurant.

Honestly could eat their food daily. It always slaps. They also have this one kid who handles the pick up orders who is quite possibly the most polite human on earth. AG is our weekly go to for sure.

8.7 overallFood 8.9Service 8.8Vibe 8.2Man I love a good gyro and I love tasty and creative deserts and this place has both! Nick was our server and was a very friendly dude.The Greek salad is referred to as "world famous" or "award winning" on the menu so we had to try it, and I will say it was the best Greek salad I've had.As you can tell by some of my reviews, I rarely ever order a salad, but that aside the salad was objectively delicious. We also had two gyros and.... AND a baklava cheese cake! BAKLAVA CHEESE CAKE!!! And it...Was...FIIIRREE Definitely an American comfort twist on a Greek delight but it works they mastered it somehow it's well crafted and balanced, it actually has a cake layer a cheesecake layer and a baklava layer all without being too rich. Definitely worth a try I will be back and be exploring this very large menu and all of their creative deserts.Highly recommend!

My first time trying this restaurant, I ordered the chicken wrap, it was a bit dry. I kept trying to get eye contact with my server ( he dropped my plate and did not check in after) once I got his attention I requested takaki(spelling) sauce which he did bring and it did enhance the wrap and dryness. I would like to give extra kudos to the gentleman at the register, he noticed that I was ready to pay and needed a to go box, unlike my waiter. I will try this place again as the chicken was delicious, the greeter was amazing, the waiter...

Gyros were delicious! They definitely give you a lot of meat in one gyro, enough for two people, I had to box half my gyro! I ate it for lunch the next day, I just put it under my broiler and it was good as new. The ambiance is cozy and intimate. The service was quick too!

Access is through a parking lot off of 4th St., N and 22nd Ave., N. Lots of traffic at this intersection so that can make entering a little tricky.I really like this place. They have great patio seating that unfortunately for some is right on fourth Street, which is pretty heavily traveled. For me, however, the traffic noise does not present much of a problem. There's soft Greek music playing in the background which makes for a pretty good ambience.I had the Greek salad which is arguably the simplest thing on the menu but it's still very reasonably priced. You can add a variety of different proteins but I typically opt out of that. Now, here's a couple things about this Greek salad. First of all, I actually have a visitor to Saint Pete all week, who was born in Greece, and has returned to her roots frequently. When I told her that Greek restaurants in this area include a dollop of potato salad in their Greek salad. She looked at me like I was from Mars. so let's discount that as an authentic item. The other thing about Greek salads is that in their authenticity, they do not include lettuce. That must be some kind of Americanization. A true Greek salad is usually very crunchy and vegetables only.Yeah, the thing I like in my Greek salad is slices of feta cheese rather than crumbled. They use crumbled here but hey, what are you gonna do? I'm OK with it and this is not a complaint. With a variety of beer and wine I do highly recommend this place. It's probably as authentic as it's going to get.

Best Greek salad in St Pete! Consistently great service. And the chocolate dipped baklava is to die for. :)

I love Greek food so when I found this place I was excited to give it a try. I've now been 3 times and have had the Gyro, the falafel sandwich, & the Greek salad -- all of which are super delicious. Prices are average/reasonable and portions are generous. Highly recommend giving them a try!
