" I can't say enough good things about Athena. From the moment you walk in, you're treated to an invigorating scent of spices and delicious food. The lentil soup is complimentary, and it alone is worth the visit. After that, I had the grape leaves and they were exceptional, rich in flavor and freshness! The staff is genuinely friendly and works hard to keep the atmosphere pleasant. Whether it's a casual outing or a special meal, I can't recommend this restaurant enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Athena is undoubtedly my favorite Mediterranean restaurant! The lentil soup is the best around. I also recommend the kebab platters, which are excellent for sharing. Each bite is a burst of flavor, showcasing traditional Mediterranean food. The service is exceptional and the staff is genuinely welcoming.

" Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Athena. The food was quite tasty—especially the lentil soup. The atmosphere was a bit loud for my liking, but it was full of cheerful patrons. Service was decent, but there were moments when it felt a bit rushed. Despite that, I enjoyed my chicken shawarma and would likely return again. Portions were appropriate for the price, which is a huge plus! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Athena for a weekend dinner and was thoroughly impressed! The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was cheerful and welcoming. I started with their lentil soup, which was rich and satisfying. For my main dish, I had the combo plate, and it was a feast! Everything was cooked well and tasted amazing, very fresh and authentic to Mediterranean flavors. The only downside was that dessert took a little long to arrive, but it was worth it. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I'll cherish! " (*Curated Review*)

" Athena really impressed me during my visit last week! The lentil soup was complementary, and it was among the best I’ve had. I enjoyed their chicken kebabs, which were moist and flavorful.

Portions are good, ensuring you leave satisfied. Overall, a great dining option! " (*Curated Review*)
