Had to get a short notice big order done for a group of people and this place was great to work with! Had no issues doing the order and it was done in such a timely fashion! The food itself was mouth watering good, both their actual Greek dishes and their non Greek dishes! From the moment I arrived to pick it up the staff were friendly! Smiles all around and extremely welcoming! read more

Found this place just off the Taconic on our way to the Berkshires from NYC. What a great find! Home cooked very authentic Greek food, great staff, great experience! Highly recommend read more

Best Greek food in Dutchess County!! The whole vibe is family style, and the indoor seating is very casual. I've gotten the lamb shank, the gyros, the salad, the soups, the calamari and octopus and so far nothing has disappointed me. Their portions are HUGE. The salad will fill you up !! Which is rare for me All of their desserts are so freaking good. I love all of them seriously. I can definitely say that if you're in the area looking for good Greek food, you gotta pay this place a visit. read more

Delicious food. Great service. Very friendly. Good location. They have Greek specialties like pasticio that you can't find many places outside the Greek festival. read more

Popped in for lunch. Nice newly decorated place. The welcome was special and menu comprehensive. Enjoyed it all and the service was so flexible and perfect. Pork souvlaki was super tender... Best I've had. Will definitely be back. read more

What happened? Terrible service. been there before questionable menu serving. Been there before loved it what happened? Maybe Fishkill is better? read more

This is my new go-to spot in the area for gyros. I've heard so many great things and finally decided to pick up takeout after work for dinner. The restaurant looks really cozy and welcoming on the outsidde with the lights that are up. The food was amazing!! The gyro meat was not as salty as a lot of other places and you get a huge, generous portion. The gyro was served with potato wedges and was STUFFED. The gyro platter came with meat, rice and a Greek salad. We had leftovers for lunch the next day because there was so much food. On my next visit, I may dine in to see what the dining experience is like but I was very pleased. read more

We got food to go so didn't stay to enjoy the service but the food was great! I got a pork souvlaki and my wife got a chicken gyro. Both very tasty and very satisfying. I also got the chicken lemon soup; which was the best around in my opinion. We also got some extra Taziki sauce with some pitas. We also got some galakotoboureka, which is hard to find and very tasty!! read more

Very good food and Excellent service! Definitely try the falafels... Right off the highway... read more

Coffee old and burnt. Changed to soda. Spinach pie had to much dill in it. Gave a 3 star because the liver was delicious. Chicken kabob was one. Chicken was good. Service so so. read more

My favorite place to eat when home! Athena Gyro never disappoints no matter what we get. Our faves are the small Greek salad with gyro meat (it's giant), spanakopita, tirokafteri (spicy feta dip), gyro in pita, moussaka, and of course the cheesecake baklava. The list of delicious items could go on and on, but these are many time over reorders. The staff is so friendly and the owner is always there to ask how things are. Even on a Friday night the wait is never too long for a table and in the nice weather the outside seating is lovely. Please don't hesitate to stop in here, or pick up. You won't regret it! read more

Great food at reasonable prices. Nice ambiance and good service. A win win combination

Outstanding!! I absolutely love Greek food and this was the best! I had them deliver lunch for me for work and everyone raved about the homemade dressing and the grape leaves. I can't wait to get their food again!!! read more

We were on our way back from a week long vacation in the Catskill area and wanted a place to eat on our way back to NYC. We checked on Google for restaurants near the route we were taking and up came Athena Gyro. Since we are still in the Covid times, called to check if they had indoor dining which they did. Got there just after noon, perfect time for lunch. There were already several occupied tables as well as more seating outside. As we waited for our orders, there were 5 of us, it got pretty busy as more and more patrons arrived. We order grilled octopus, hummus and the fried zucchini for appetizers. The octopus was cooked perfectly. The hummus came with toasted pita bread sliced in triangles. The fried zucchini was served with garlic mash potatoes. All were good tasting. I ordered the broiled salmon with french fries and sauteed spinach. All entrees came with a huge Greek salad with tons of fresh greens, green peppers, onions with a light delicious dressing. When my entree arrived I was already getting full but I pushed on. The salmon was broiled nicely, a bit salty but tasty. The fries were very nice and crunchy, more like steak fries. We loved everything, kudos to the chef. The service was fantastic, welcoming when we entered through the front door. All of the staff had smiles whenever we made eye contact. They always checked in with us to make sure we were beyond satisfaction. Just before getting our bill, manager (I assume) asked if we would like any sweets to finish our meal. We were all full but I love rice pudding so I asked for an order to go. To my surprise, they threw that in complementary. The rice pudding was delicious, very creamy and not overly sweet. If I ever find myself in the area again in the future, I will make sure to stop to enjoy another great meal with friendly service. Thank you Athens Gyro! read more

Best pita I've ever had!!!! The 4 dip platter was so yum- my favorite was spicy feta dip. Spanakopita was pretty good, a little bit heavy on the dill flavor and not as crisp as I like but definitely yum. I had the chicken Souvlaki, huuuuuuge portion. The Greek salad was perfect and I loved the Greek rice but the chicken itself left me wanting for a little more flavor/ more tender (was a little too chewy). Will be back for more pitaaaa and to try falafel read more

Athena Gyro is one of those places where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts - which is pretty impressive since the parts are already great. They do just about everything right, particularly when it comes to the service and the food. Note that the word "homemade" appears prominently and frequently on the menu. I decided to take advantage of that by starting with their lentil soup, which is in a tomato base with fresh vegetables. It was delicious. It was also accompanied by two whole, freshly made, quartered pitas, which were great for dipping into the soup or just eating plain. I was equally impressed with my gyro. When it was served, I could not see the meat because it was hidden by large amounts of fresh lettuce and red onion. When I finally got past those, I could see there was also a large amount of the meat. I didn't want to put it down once I started, partly because it was so good, but also because I was afraid all the ingredients would tumble out, it was so full. The employees really care about their customers. I was served and greeted by at least 4 individuals, including the owner. My water glass was never allowed to go under half-full, and my food came out very quickly. I can remember, many years ago, when this building was a pizzeria. When it changed to Athena Gyro, my first impression was, "Oh." Now that I've been there, it's "OH YEAH!" read more

The food was fabulous in this non-discript place. We first thought this was a diner but a quick search indicated otherwise. If you in the mood for great Mediterranean food you should stop bye. read more

Ridiculously good! After living close to Astoria, NY and Yonkers,NY and frequenting my favorite Greek Food Spots, I have to say this was amazing! Flavorful and Filling. Generous portions with decent prices. We got take out but will be returning with our full family crew the next time we are all looking to go out to dinner. Bonus.....they have covered outdoor seating. The salad dressing was so good! The feta cheese pie (Tiropita) was delish, the stuffed grape leaves were filled nicely and fresh, the chicken breast platter was huge, the gyro platter was huge. All around great flavor at great prices. read more

I placed my first order for delivery from you tonight. It took over 90 minutes to receive a gyro and souvlaki sandwich. Also the pitas weren't grilled at all making the sandwich very soggy. It was disappointing to say the least. I am a big fan of Greek food and expected better from you. I hope this feedback help your future customers. Normally when a review is left I would think the owner should do whatever it takes to make it right. 5 days have passed and not even a simple message back. read more

Excellent Greek food just like yiayia made and huge portions. Very friendly staff & restaurant is spotless. Inside bright with windows front & side. Inside renovation nice but chairs are a bit uncomfortable. Prior chairs were more comfy. read more

OMG if you are in the area do not pass this place up! The food is remarkable! The portions are very generous. The service is fantastic. The calamari was fresh and served hot, the Greek salad were delicious, my entire group of 14 enjoyed everything! I had the Moussaka and it was scrumptious! And don't skimp out on dessert! The cheesecake is to die for!!! read more

EAT HERE! Seriously, the first time in months we have been blown over by amazing food. The octopus was so tender it could be cut by a fork. The dolmades were well seasoned and tasty without the need for the awesome tzatziki which our son finished off with a spoon, and which they gave us an extra serving to go. The pitas were fluffy instead of dry and chewy. The lamb souvlaki was perfectly marinated and cooked--nothing chewy or grisly. The saganaki was more fondue-like than I'm used to (having grown up in Chicago), but that too was stopped up with gusto. 2, then 3 coffees, as we were in heaven. Plus 2 glasses of retsina. $75 before tip. This was not only our best meal out in months, but possibly the best Greek food we've had since our honeymoon on the QEII with 2 stops in Greece. We plan to add this as a regular stop en route to VT, as it's that good. Service was nice, pleasant, prompt. Per our little gourmand, his new favourite place which should get 1000 stars. read more

This used to be our go to place for Greek food. This last time however, was very disappointing. We ordered takeout and when I went to pick it up there was a sign saying there would be a 3.99% upcharge to use a credit card. Really? When in this time of covid where using a credit card is safer than using cash? What ever happened to the cost of doing business? Why not charge us another 3% to cover your lease or utilities? Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. The food just wasn't very good. My wife's tomato was mealy and not good. My pita tasted very odd. I think it may have been moldy but didn't see any mold. At any rate it was not edible. The gyro may was OK but nothing to write home about. I would hope this was just an off day but I'm not going to find out because I will not pay cash nor pay an Upcharge to use my card. read more

What a great place with friendly people! We ate in once before the pandemic began and liked our food and after a convo with our neighbors who are big fans, we decided to try take out. We are 30 mins away and it was worth the trip and our food was still warm when we got home! My son is going to have oral surgery soon and won't be able to eat for days, he has requested Athena for dinner the night before! read more

Great food and service. Take out is fast and high quality. We really enjoy Athena Gyro

Nice Gyro. Very consistent quality. Easy access in the hearts of Lagrange, a family favorite.

Better shawarma than NYC recently, heaping portions of meat, beautifully fresh salad, tasty dolmas. The proprietor ran a business in NYC and has clearly carried the service ethic with him with quick, prompt, fresh food, but left behind the attitude of NYC restaurants. Our dog was welcome outside on the well kept patio, the bill was reasonable, look forward to eating at Athena again soon. read more

It's a nice Lil place to eat in. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The food.... well .... it's hit and miss. Sometimes it's delicious and spot on. Other times it's just not right. The inconsistencies have forced me to stop eating here. If you go there enough times or order food from them it will probably happen to you too read more

Great casual spot for Greek food. Menu is extensive, almost overly so. Took me forever to decide. Place was very chilly, but service was warm and friendly. The Greek fries were the BEST I've ever had. All food, fresh. Prices very reasonable, portions very generous. Husbands falafel and my lamb skewers were delish! Bit of confusion when one of the staff who brought water to the table answered no when I asked if they served alcohol - come to find out from the waitress they do have wine and she said the girl we asked doesn't speak English!? Maybe we'll have a glass next time. Owner came around to chat and check on everyone which is always a nice touch. Will definitely be back. Can't wait to work my way through the menu! read more

We stumbled into this gem while traveling north on the Taconic, which is notorious for lack of decent rest areas. Well, luck was with us this time. A stop at Athena Gyro was like taking a mini trip to Greece. The simple, but Greek inspired decor belied the fantastic food, warm service, and reasonable prices. While my son opted for the traditional gyro, I opted for the meat bemista (stuffed peppers and tomato, while my wife went for the stuffed eggplant. Delicious. The dinners come with a generous Greek salad, and we topped it all off with authentic Baklava and Greek coffee. In this pandemic, the covered outdoor patio seating was an extra plus. So, whether you are frequently travelers on the rest area deprived Taconic, or just in the area, take a detour to Greece by dining at this Gem. You''ll think you're in Athens and you won't be disappointed! Chicken GyroGreek Salad read more

Athena Gyro - Chicken Gyro. So big I could only eat half. - Greek Near Me - Lagrangeville, New York

Wow! Great Taverna, best Greek food In Dutchess County. 5 stars all around. Nice crisp clean place. Welcoming by the owner, smilling waitress delicious food, and great prices. What more could you ask for. We started with the small Greek salad, more than enough for four people. Chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, stuffed grape leaves (2) feta cheese ( lots) and kalamata olives ( plenty). Gyro in a pita was huge, tons of delicious lamb, could not finish it. Galactobouriko for desert, a huge piece of baked custard in phillo dough topped with honey syrup, delicious. Go for it, it's the place to go for Greek food. read more

The staff is Amazing! The family owners are absolutely the best. The food is by far our favorite. You will not be disappointed!

I wanted to send dinner to the medical staff at a hospital where a friend works in the ED. She and the rest of the staff are working with COVID-19 patients and need a quick and healthy bit of food while working the night shift. They have eaten way too much pizza over the last few weeks so I went searching for an alternative. It didn't hurt that I was craving pita and tzatziki when I fired up Yelp. I am in the Boston area and the hospital is in Westchester, so I was out of my element. I found Athena's Gyro on Monday and gave them a call to explain the situation. I didnt realize the distance from restaurant to hospital. Although the hospital is far from the restaurant, George was amazing on the phone, and said yes to taking the delivery. He helped me with my order and I requested chicken and lamb souvlaki, rice, Greek salad, tzatziki and pita. The food was delivered last night and got rave reviews! Thank you, George and team for feeding some deserving doctors and nurses! Next time I am in the area I will be sure to stop in. read more

Ate a delicious dinner here on our way home from Hudson Valley. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and fresh, and the overall dining experience wonderful. We ate outdoors on the front patio and they gave us a bowl of water for our dog an even cooked up two strips of bacon for her a ms a little snack. We will definitely be back soon!!!! read more

We tried the Spanakopita, Souvlaki, Bifteki, Gyro, and Baklava, which were all great. The lemon potatoes were out of this world. The food tasted great and the staff made us feel like family. There's no question that we'll eat here again the next time we're in the area. read more
