I found this place only a few months ago and it is sooo good! I highly recommend the kebabs - the seasoning is insane. We also got the ratatouille, which was delicious. I will definitely keep coming back for the delicious food, cute atmosphere and kind staff.

I’ve been picking up and dine in at this place for years. The last time ordered over the phone to pickup, I had to wait 45 minutes for a single plate of order to be ready because the employee misplaced my order over the phone. No one at the restaurant was worried about making things right or offered anything other than saying β€œsorry”

Food looked so delicious I didn’t have time to take any pictures. We cleared our plates and it was just amazing. We got falafel, the chicken kabob plate which came with rice, tzatziki and ratatouille. My husband got the sea bass and instead of rice asked for potatoes and came with grilled veggies. We also got some cocktails which were amazing as well. The pita bread and the dessert made me so happy. lol. Loved the whole restaurant, the vibe, the service and the food. Definitely will be back again!

Had an awesome visit to cafe Athena for dinner last week with a mid-sized bachelor party. I was hoping for a bit of an elevated experience and they gave just that. To start on atmosphere. It’s a lively spot with modern decor and lots of lighting. The area is spacious and the table we had was perfect for a large group. We also had a reservation which was handled well. Service throughout the night was solid. They did a good job taking care of us and answering any requests. I thought my Ares drink was super refreshing and the perfect mix of ingredients. The food as well was really tasty. We started with a few of the dips which were perfectly purΓ©ed and packed with flavor. The mains were large and full of flavor as well. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their meal and things felt fresh and vibrant. A great spot to go and grab a quick drink or sit down for a nice meal with a group. A nice break from some spots closer to the PB main drag.
