First time here. Very welcoming authentic Greek food. Owner George is an absolute gem! Definitely will come back often and try everything on the menu. I had the combination platter and the gyro was phenomenal! Baklava was crispy on top and soft in the middle. The perfect amount of sweetness and not toothaching sweet. Will definitely try again next time with Greek coffee!

Came here on a late Monday afternoon for a lunch/dinner since we were in Mansfield for the day and wanted a good meal. This was one of the highest rated restaurants in the area and it definitely did not disappoint! The owner is Greek and he poured the Greek coffee for us and served us free baklava to thank us for coming in. We ordered a bunch of different things, but the highlights were the lamb shank, gyro, and baklava. I’d say it’s the best coffee and baklava I’ve ever had. Service was quick and friendly and the booths were comfy. Definitely come here if you are looking for a reasonably priced, delicious, and authentic meal!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would!

First off, the restaurant might be hard to spot as there is so much construction going on in the street and the sidewalks, but once you find it and try the food, it will be a go to place and favorite for sure.

The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the owner is incredibly nice. They all talk to their customers and you can tell when a regular comes in, they have a sense of community and caring you can really tell.

The Greek Coffee is phenomenal and you will NEVER want to drink any other coffee again. It is rich and decadent, perfectly balanced in strength and flavor.
The gyros are amazing as well, sauce bursting with flavor. If you order a side of fries with it, you should order extra sauce for dipping them.
The lamb shank dinner is incredible. The lamb is tender and the sides are super flavorful as well.
The baklava is an absolute treasure and is the best baklava I have ever had. The seasonings in it are so on point, the sweetness, nuts and seasonings mingle perfectly. We just had to order some to go to take to nearby family for them to experience it as well.

Delicious food, friendly service. Lots of vegetarian-friendly options – highly recommend the falafel gyro (regular or open). And the baklava is hands down the best I’ve ever had. (AND DON’T SKIP THE GREEK COFFEE!)

The food & service is amazing! I was with a group of 17 ladies. They had a table set up for us to sit together! Our server did an excellent job. We also got to meet the owner & he made baklava just for us! (We had reservations, so he knew we were coming) the Greek coffee is delicious! Strong & sweet! Definitely go try out this restaurant! I went because of the good reviews & I agree! It’s worth your time. Your taste buds will thank you.

Edit: Was in the mood for a gyro and craving some baklava cheesecake today. So I came back for a second visit today for lunch.

As expected, the gyro and fries were good. Fries were a little undercooked, but the gyro was perfect.

I ordered a new dessert for me, galakto-bouriko. This was fantastic. It’s heavy, rich, and decadent. Might be my favorite new treat.

Today I channeled my inner fat kid, as I also ordered a piece of baklava cheesecake. A little disappointed as it appears to be a bit different. It had a chocolate crust and what seemed to be a chocolate swirl in the cheesecake itself.

It wasn’t as good as the first time I ordered it here. Hopefully it’s not a permanent change.

As a whole though, very happy with the $20 I spent here today.

Edit 2: Ordered a falafel gyro and fries for lunch today, with an order of kataifi and baklava as well. The falafel gyro was great, no surprise there. I prefer the lamb tho.

The kataifi and baklava were on another level today. Both were just lathered in honey. Which is a good thing. So much flavor.

Get the kataifi and baklava everytime you visit. Every…..time….

Had a wonderful experience here for lunch. I phoned in a pickup order and the young lady who answered was polite and full of energy. She sounded like she was enjoying herself at work. Great first impression.

When I got to the restaurant, two people greeted me by saying hello and welcoming me in. Great second impression. And I believe the young lady who I spoke with over the phone also got my order for me. She was so polite and had fantastic energy.

For lunch I ordered a gyro with fries and a piece of baklava cheesecake. You read that right, baklava….cheesecake….

The fries were at first a disappointment. I was expecting them to be seasoned fries, as every Greek restaurant I’ve been to has seasoned fries. These aren’t seasoned, but they are good. They were fried perfectly and consistent throughout the serving. So I added some salt and got over it. As regular fries go, they are delish.

And maybe if you ask for seasoned fries they have them. I’ll have to check next time I order.

The gyro was quite tasty. It was also quite large. And it had more tzatziki sauce than any gyro I have ever had before. I really couldn’t have been happier with it. The veggies were big and fresh, and the whole gyro was just bursting with flavor.

The baklava cheesecake though. My goodness it stole the show. My favorite dessert is baklava. I visit Greek restaurants sometimes just to get a dozen pieces or so for the week. But to put it on cheesecake? GENIUS!

Seriously, the two pair phenomenaly. It’s my new favorite dessert. The cheesecake itself was solid. But the baklava layers lightened up the dessert and it looked as good as it’s flavor.

All in all, this place rocks. Highly recommend it. Get lunch here and don’t forget the baklava cheesecake. Will be back many times.

Athena Greek Restaurant is always a great experience. As soon as you walk in you can smell the food. The gyro is delicious and filling at a great price. The fresh homemade baklava melts in your mouth.

I also enjoy trying the Greek beers and wines. The owner, George, will often come out and talk to us. If you’re coming with a larger group, there’s a quieter back room that works really well.

Overall, 5/5 restaurant.

The owner and other wait staff are friendly and genuinely greatful for you when you come in. City construction has been hard on small businesses like this one in this area. So we have been trying to go there more. It’s well worth it, the food is fantastic!

I am a passionate ate fan of Greek food, and I can honestly say I have never had better than here at Athena! The Time Bomb was a fantastic way to cap off my experience after the best gyro I’ve ever eaten. The owner was one of the most.congenial hosts that I have ever.had the pleasure of interacting with! Beyond 5 stars!
