California Greek Salad with added gyro meat
Celeste T.

A++++ Sooo good. I had the California Greek Salad with added gyro meat, it was delicious. Fresh salad greens, cucumbers, tomato, house dressing, it was absolutely delicious. My man had the gyro plate and loved it. The surprise was the homemade lemonade. The gal said it is made daily with mint, OJ, lime and lemon. It was light, refreshing, not overly sweet, just the perfect blend for a light fresh cool drink. I am not normally a lemonade drinker, but this homemade version is different in the best way. Highly recommend Great service, surprisingly quick bringing out our meals, and lovely interior decor. We were both very happy to find this wonderful Greek restaurant, couldn't be more pleased to add it to our regular go-to list.

Turkish coffee and pistachio baklava

Amazing service and food! Got the lamb and beef shawarma wrap. Huge portions. Ask for the feta salsa for extra spice! The Turkish coffee was a sweet dream to top off our meal. The pistachio baklava was excellent as well. Couldn't recommend this place more.

California Greek Salad with added chicken kabob

We had another delicious lunch at Athena Gyro this past week. Food is always fresh and delicious. Generally excellent service unless they are slammed. Plentiful lot parking. We love this place, and try to have lunch there on a weekly basis. Highly recommended.

California Greek Salad
Andrea P.

On March 19, 2026 I stopped by to order some lunch, it was during lunch time so it was busy but they took my Takeout order. I looked at the specials and ordered the Greek tacos and the Greek salad (California). The service was top tier and all staff members were amazing. I food smells amazing and it tastes so good. Flavors were melting in my mouth from the Greek tacos. This will be my go to on the menu for sure. The salad was great as well. A must try for sure, thanks Athena I'll see you guys soon.

Grilled meat combo platter

Saw the yelp reviews so we gave it a try tonight! Delicious ! I had the grilled meat combo platter. My husband had the gyro platter. Mine was better. Place was packed inside and most of the tables were open outside. Well definitely come back again!

Greek Nacho Fries
Jonnell T.

The fries were cooked and seasoned good but I wish they just had a little bit more to their toppings. The gyro meat was good. The tzatziki sauce was good. But they barely gave any veggies: cucumber, tomato, red onion... I think the extra veggies would've made a big difference.

Stumbled into this place and it's such a gem! Delicious food at a great value. I got the gyro wrap and my bf shared the falafel. Both were really flavorful. I left very satisfied

Menu

Well mom said that this is one of her favorite restaurants. Service, food, parking. Was all great. We enjoyed all the food.

Calamari
Elise B.

We ordered the Spanakopita & Calamari to start. The spanakopita was crispy and comes in 2 pieces. The calamari was perfectly fried and not the oily type of fry. The Gyro Sandwich Plate is filling and super delicious! The pita is soft and the lamb is thinly sliced and has crispy outsides. It comes with seasoned crinkle cut fries. We finished the meal with a pistachio Baklava treat. It's soaked in honey- I could eat so many of those. They also sell them in containers too. Service is quick and friendly. Parking- big parking lot shared with other businesses

Lemon chicken rice soup & pita w/ hummus
Sarah P.

Delicious food! Very accommodating letting me swap my salad for more rice. We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy, every table filled, but were able to be seated in about 5 minutes. Cute Greek art and motifs inside.

Another lunch visit. New coats of paint, outdoor seating furniture, and updated lunch specials…read moremenu, but same friendly service and delicious food. It's definitely a Greek décor inside, and very welcoming. FOOD: We usually take advantage of their lunch specials (see menu pic), which recently increased to $14.99, you have a choice of Soup (Avgolemono/Lemon Chicken or Ezogelin/Red Lentil) or a side Greek salad, any sandwich (6 to choose from), and a drink (soda, iced tea, or lemonade). We also picked up a cup of the Red Lentil Soup ($8.99) to go, as well as an order of Baklava (2 pieces for $6.99). Love all the flavors. They do carry Greek wines and beers, as well as domestic selections to enhance your dining experience. One of our local favorites and I recommend them if you're looking for authentic, tasty Greek cuisine. There are four locations in Coachella Valley (Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, and two in Palm Springs).

It was sad that we were the only customers in there the whole time we were there because this is a…read moregreat little place! The decor is cute, the waitress was super nice and helpful, and the food was absolutely fantastic! I had the Gyro Plate with lamb. All the other Greek/Mediterranean places I've eaten always have a heaping amount of rice as a filler for the gyro plate; this place doesn't include rice on that plate, so you get a generous portion of gyro meat, instead. And the flavor of the meat - oh my word it was delicious, plus super moist! A lot of the time I've found it to be dry at other restaurants, but not here! My sis had the California Greek Salad with a chicken kabob. She said it was delicious, but she did wish it came with two kabobs because she would've like more meat, but that was her only complaint. Next time I'm in the CV and am craving Mediterranean food, I will definitely come back to this spot!

Alps Village never misses!…read more If you're looking for authentic German food, Alps Village is the place. The ambiance and staff are amazing. Every visit is consistently incredible, and this time was no exception. We started with the Oktoberfest Pretzel and the Urnebes, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The pretzel was perfectly done, and the Urnebes was packed with flavor. My husband and daughter ordered the Grilled Sausage Platter, which is a solid 10/10 every single time. It's one of those dishes you keep coming back for because it's just that good. My daughter's boyfriend ordered the Lamb Chops, and they were fall-off-the-bone amazing--tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I had the Spicy Gypsy Schnitzel Veal, and all I can say is wow. It was completely out of this world. The veal was perfectly prepared, and the spicy gypsy sauce took it to another level. And I can't leave out the Lemon Breeze. It is everything. Hands down, the best drink I've ever had--refreshing, delicious, and the perfect complement to an incredible meal. Alps Village just nails it every time. Amazing food, amazing drinks, service and a consistently fantastic dining experience. We'll definitely be back! 10/10 -- Highly recommend!

The timing worked out perfectly, and we were able to sit down and order without any wait. The food ended up being absolutely delicious. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared, easily exceeding expectations. Despite the restaurant getting busy shortly after we arrived, the service remained outstanding throughout the entire experience. Overall, it was a great find, with excellent food and attentive service, especially considering how busy they got.

If you've never been to Greece…read more... Can you truly say that you have really lived?? Yeah, Greece just hits different Well, call me Lucky because I HAVE been to Greece and I can honestly tell you from my own personal experience... It. Was. Nothing. But. Pure. Magic. Yeah, April 2017 we did Athens and Santorini, but don't you worry, I intentionally left a small piece of my heart just so I can return again one day to get it back! So those of you have haven't been to Greece, do not even fret. Please just promise me, no better yet, promise yourself, that you will at least look into it. Until then... If you just happen to come across an authentic Greek restaurant, Greek Festival or even just Greek Street Food on the street in your own hometown... I encourage you to experience why their food, their culture and their people are the real deal. ----------------------- While visiting Palm Springs in October 2025, while going in and out of the various shops on N. Palm Canyon Drive, it was approaching lunch time and there it was... Santorini Gyro I looked at my wife. She looked at me. And without even saying a word, we knew exactly what the plan was and trust; asking the kids if they were ok with us eating there was not a part of the plan. From the outside to walking inside... We were immediately transported back to Santorini all while still be in the middle of a desert. The Blue and white decor. The Blue mood lighting. The table lamps. The menu with all of the Greek Classics. We felt like we were back in 2017, but this time, we had 3 extra travel companions... Our 3 beautiful girls. So now it was our chance to have them experience the Food that we fell in love nearly 8 years ago... Their choice.... Drum roll please....... The Chicken Tenders & Fries with Ketchup!! Haha These kids need to get out more! Lol My wife and I split the Gyro Plate (option of Chicken or Lamb) which comes with a Greek Salad, warm Pita bread, Tzatziki & Hummus. I added a bowl of Red Lentil Soup (Ezo Gelin) served with warm pita and it made both my stomach and my face smile with pure joy! Of course, this wouldn't be a true nod to being back in Greece without a Greek beer which was served alongside a frosted, ice cold, glass. The food, the service, the ambiance... Heck, if I was blindfolded, taken to Santorini Gyro and then my blindfold was removed, I would honestly think that I was back in the motherland to reclaim my heart. Thankfully, it was just an authentic Greek restaurant in the heart of Palm Springs that serves up delicious food and pays homage to the people of Greece. Until then, Mark my words... My family and I WILL return one day to Greece!!!
