" I had high hopes for Athena, given its reputation, but my experience was a bit mixed. The food was certainly fresh, particularly the lentil soup which I enjoyed immensely. However, my main dish, the lamb kabob, was slightly overcooked, making it tough. The service started out strong but got a little slow as the restaurant filled up. The ambiance was casual and clean, which I appreciated. I will give it another shot in the future since I've heard great things about their hummus. " (*Curated Review*)

" Athena was a wonderful surprise during my trip. I had the falafel and it was freshly made, crispy, and bursting with flavor. The complimentary lentil soup was also a lovely touch, quite filling! My friends enjoyed their dishes as well, especially the chicken shawarma. The servers were all very friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. It wasn't super upscale, but very cozy— a nice find! I'll definitely be recommending this spot to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm always looking for good spots to eat Mediterranean food, and Athena was recommended to me. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated and greeted with complimentary lentil soup which was delicious! I ordered the kebab skewers and was very pleased with the generous portion. The service was friendly and helped recommend dishes which I appreciated. The only minor flaw was that it could get a bit loud as it was busy during my visit, but that didn’t detract from the experience. I will definitely be coming back! " (*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. The service was quite attentive, and even during rush hours, the staff managed well. The restaurant has an inviting atmosphere with a charming decor style. Portions are good, ensuring you leave satisfied. Overall, a great dining option! " (*Curated Review*)
