Athenian Garden

"My family has ordered takeout from this establishment for many years. I can fondly remember the hot pita bread and tasty salad. However tonight, we decided to eat in. We got inside and discovered there was nobody really around, just us. Okay. Quiet but fine. We were seated, then the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink. When my aunt asked for tap water (since she knew about their odd water bottle preference) the waiter just said over and over "it's store policy, only bottled water." Okay. Weird. So I just grit my teeth and had a bottled water. But then I asked for a gyro. I had ordered it in store before. Our server then says "gyro is takeout only. Store policy." Huh? What? I asked him why, because I was curious... Were they unable to sell gyro meat after lunch? The server just repeatedly said "it's store policy" again, before the lady in the kitchen started yelling at him in Greek. It was all very, very awkward and I just wanted to know what was going on- I was totally okay with ordering a different entree, but really, why continue to say "store policy" and not give a reason? Further more... it says gyro meat is available for additional cost for the salads on their dinner menu. Something isn't right about this but okay. Thankfully the food was good. But service was not. The waiter never really checked up on us. When it came time to package our meals and get the check, he set down the containers and started walking away like he had to run for the hills, all while my poor mother tried to ask him for a smaller container! A gratuity charge was put on the bill, and I didn't see any note about party size factoring that charge anywhere on the menu, so I could have missed something. But we were a group of 5... isn't the charge for 6+? All in all, it really seemed like the waiter was desperate for us to leave. I spotted what seemed to be the owner sitting in the front of the house, BLARING TikToks while waiting for us to leave. Really, dude? Either way the food was good, but we're not coming back to dine in. If you're gonna run a business-- you can't rely on ONLY your food to get you through. You have to actually train your employees to smile, to be accommodating. And based on other reviews, clearly this is falling on deaf ears since the server is a repeat offender. Just focus on takeout, fellow consumers."

"So fresh and delicious! The chicken kebob was flavorful and came with the perfect amount of food. The tzatziki was the best I’ve ever had!"

"Very glad I finally checked this place out . The food was great ! Really enjoyed the space ! Great friendly staff . Can definitely tell it’s family run which is nice to see .. the food was fresh . Made to order . I did not mind waiting one bit . Nice to have the food made to order. Will definitely be going back often to try the other items on the menu ."

"They had the nicest staff here and everything was made fresh to order!! Im pretty sure it was family run so it was a nice place to stop at for dinner and I would definitely recommend coming here for large portions!!!"

"Service was good. Food was good. Menu, which I wished I would have took a photo of since I couldn’t find one in the photos, had options you would expect to find at a Greek establishment such as gyro and Greek salads, platters, falafel, baklava, etc. platters with pork & chicken pictured. Pita was good but didn’t take a photo. They also had Greek fries on the menu — French fries with feta and tzatziki which sounded really good, but we didn’t try this time."
